The Contract: A Mafia Vows Prequel by S.R. Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A tasty appetizer
The Contract is the prequel to The Debt, book one of the Mafia Vows series. It had a good pace, and kept me interested. Maya does come across as a bit vapid, but maybe that’s part of her character evolution? I am continuing the series, so I’ll find out soon.
This is definitely not a standalone- you’ll need to get the next book unless you don’t intend to continue. The good news is that, as of today (9/5/2019), all three books in the series are now available. Hooray!
My curiosity is piqued, which was the point, so I’d say mission accomplished. Onward to the next one!

In my world, women are powerless.
In my world, men call all the shots.
My uncle is a mafia king, and my father wants the same power. I am a pawn in their games – to be used and traded.
Two weeks ago, I was promised in marriage to a man I barely knew.
Two days ago, I discovered that man liked to torture women for fun.
Two hours ago, I begged my mother to stop the marriage.
Two minutes ago, I found myself promised to another man… to my uncle’s terrifying enforcer.
The only way to avoid marriage to a madman is by becoming the bride of a murderer.
He’s six-feet-five of sheer muscle and power, and he scares me as much as he excites me.
Ruthless, merciless, and without fear, his cruel smirk tells me he is going to enjoy having me at his mercy.
He might own me, but I’m not giving in without a fight.
