But I don’t find my father. I walk straight into the den of his associate, the Don of the Cosa Nostra. he feels very predatory in the way that he seemingly never asks for consent when engaging in sexual acts (which seem to me to be very rough) (EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE SEES THE TAPE OF HER VERY BRUTAL RAPE) While this is an age gap romance, with Clay clearly being the dominant of the two, Fawn is not without her sass, pushing the Mafia Don in ways that he hasn't yet been pushed.
Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books. Find out how in this guide. His Pretty Little Burden is the 4th book in the Kids of the District Series by Nicci Harris. It end on a HFN cliffy and Clay and Fawn's story will conclude in the next book. The previous books do not need to be read first, but I would recommend it. The story is told in first person, from dual perspective.I’m dying to read them out of bedroom. The times when they call each other by their own names r limited. The epilogue novella for the whole series “His Perfect Little Heirs” announced that will be out next year, I can’t wait to read it, especially for Clay & Fawn but also the others. He nods to his desk, and I take that to mean 'slide up here and sit in front of me'. "Do I accept nods as a response?" I tease, using his words, and the corner of his lips twitch to curve further. I continue, "You know I'm not your employee. I'd like your voice not your nods." I contradict that entire sentence by doing as he silently commanded. Sliding along the wooden desk, I position myself in front of him, and plant my bare feet on his thighs. All the while Nikki has continued with the over arching narrative from the previous books telling a tale of politics, lies, corruption and the Cosa Nostra. I lift my hand to sweep her blonde hair over her shoulder and imagine how I might have taken her the first time. Had I been young and in love with her at the time. Had I been emotionally available. "He told his brothers to leave. That you were his focus now. Only you. He wasn't always gentle because he was too overwhelmed by you, little deer, but he took you thoroughly. He was never going to let you go, so he held you all night, still inside you." The words come out easily because I'm no longer talking about him.
My Review is still the same as below BUT I must say Shane East & Sofia Lette have powerhouse performances that completely capture and bring to life the Clay & Fawn I have imagined in my head. Shane East’s voice is pure sex and I could think of no one better to voice Sir. When a little deer, Fawn Harlow, arrives on his front door step looking for her father. It’s as if she has just walked into the lions den. Clay is everything that you'd expect a Don to be - but he does this to protect his family - his brothers, and even then, he is removed from them in a way that you don't truly understand until you read this book.
To sum up this book in one line, I’d say it is a 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕. i most likely will not read any of the other books written by this author because i never wish to be reminded of this horrific piece ever again This book has a lot of butterfly references, and I think that is the perfect representation of this book.
What’s the deal with Clay, his family, and his rule? This is a standalone so it’s not like there’s a second book that will give us all these answers. It’s annoying to have so many unfinished bits missing from a book.I also really hated Jasmine, and quite frankly did not understand the purpose of her character, her lies, or their subsequent makeup. It was useless to the plot. Mob boss Clay Butcher is feared by many. His brothers work with him, and his wife is his confidante. Clay’s known as the Mayor of the District, and he controls all that he surveys. When a little slip of a girl shows up on Clay’s doorstep looking for her father, he’s taken with her. He can’t quite explain what draws him to her, and can’t be bothered with her. Her father is someone important, which makes Dawn important to Clay. Fawn may not like the reason her father is so important to Clay.
The push and pull of Clay and Fawn was INCREDIBLE. The fact that the overaching storyline that runs through the kids of the district series gets taken up a notch is something magnificent. Start out as a caterpillar, you then spend weeks inside a cocoon where you grow and go through so much heartache. But in the end you are a beautiful butterfly.

Fawn’s life hasn’t been easy. She said come to Clay Butcher’s house, looking for Jimmy. She was told he knew her father. She is hoping her father can help her. Triggers: hero is married (no sexual relations though), pregnancy, miscarriage, torture, murder, detailed rape, drug use, PTSD, and a detailed BJ scene with OW before they get together. Anyway, onto the story: Clay is 35, newly the head of the local mafia, and the mayor of the District (the fictional Australian city where these books are set). He’s married, but for arranged mafia reasons, he and his wife don’t have a sexual relationship. I actually love this part of the book - since his wife isn’t an evil OW who’s an obstacle to his relationship with the heroine. She wants good things for him and supports it! I want Aurora to live her best lesbian life, and be a mafia queen. I loved that Fawn came with her own trauma. Nicci has this way of writing characters that are so emotionally damaged, and yet that damage becomes their strength. I cannot wait to see Fawn level up in the next book. Clay and Fawn have an insane connection, and I loved their dynamic. Clay is definitely a dominant alpha, and Fawn is a natural submissive. Clay was so freaking hot, and he spoiled Fawn in the sweetest way. He is extremely possessive and has major "touch her and you die" vibes. The sex scenes were so hot, and I loved the way Clay praised her.
