I often feel like I’m repeating myself A LOT when I review Kailee’s books. Why? Because she always delivers such phenomenal pieces of fiction, that’s why. I’ve never, ever been disappointed in any book she’s written.Little Black Book takes us back almost to Sal’s beginning. He’s 18 and headed towards his destiny as a dominant. Good lord, this man…my forever and always sigh-worthy hero. He quite literally makes my toes curl. And now, I get to learn of a deeper connection with Nico (yet another favorite of mine), among many other revelations.Kailee Reese Samuels writes excellent fiction. She creates full and colorful worlds with her words. She takes me to places I wouldn’t normally be able to go to. Her characters are so unique, so real, and I get so caught up in the story that I forget I’m reading. When I think back on the book I’ve just read, I see it, it feels like I watched a movie, and a very good one at that.Kailee holds my heart in her hands as I read her books. She can make me laugh, cry, get angry, and even sigh in wanton desire. Yes, she’s that good. But I’m repeating myself AGAIN, aren’t I?This is another excellent story by one of my absolutely favorite authors. Highly recommended.

Ok I have not read anything like this before!This read is very intriguing…. It feels like it’s a preface to a grand game and a play scheme that is about to unravel in full motion and it made me curious, intrigued and excited about the rest of the books! The characters are vivid and powerful right from the start. They instantly gain dimension you can feel that nothing will be flat in this series – not the plot not the characters and not the emotions! It will all be high stakes, daggers and well-plotted intrigue!

This novella starts what is going to be the unveiling of Sal’s book, his long-held secrets. A lot of the material was alluded to in other books, so if you’re a huge Samuels’ fan, then you knew a lot of this was coming. But we get to see the unfolding of Sal, the sculpting that had to take place to make him into the man we know now. It was nice to see exactly how Nico fit into his world, a dark man we’ve come to adore. This was a fun teaser of all the good things to come, it’s just the beginning of a complex web of secrets, vaulted in Sal’s mind, until now

I’m pretty sure I’ve said this many times before as I have read all of Kailee Reese Samuels’ books but just in case I haven’t. I love this author’s writing! If you have read any of this author’s books then you know what I’m talking about but if you haven’t then get ready for an amazing ride. We find out so much more about Sal in this book and little by little we learn about how he became the man he is. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
LynnStifle –
Such a great read! We learn more on Sal’s background and it fills in alot of gaps. I do love me some Sal, even at such a young age he’s so dominant and sexy. This is a great, quick read, with intriguing characters that I’m sure you will love as much as I did. I’m looking forward to reading more and seeing what happens next.

Who knew that Sal’s beginning was so creatively orchestrated. His prequel is an amazing look into Salvatore’s past, his creation story! All the little secrets, all the mystery will begin to unfold.If you love Salvatore Raniero’s Stories, this is a need to read book.Well written, with an incredible storyline and absolutely amazing characters. Kailee Reese Samuels has done it again, dragging me into the storm that is Sal!
Angela Thomas –
Kailee Reese Samuels give us another gripping page turner, drawing us in with Sal’s charm. Go back in time with Sal as he gives us the story of his start in Sugargrove. Another piece of the puzzle clicks into place on this short story. I absolutely love when we get the story from Sal’s point of view. I want so much more of Sal!!“ I can count those I genuinely care about on one hand. And as for the rest, I’ll greet them with the middle finger when they arrive at the gates of my hell. “
Allyson –
Ok so I have read some of Kailee’s books where Sal makes an appearance and he had me so intrigued. This book is how Sal came about being the person he is today(which I really don’t know him yet) and goodness he is such a sweet sexy person. I am sure anyone who reads this book already knows a lot about Sal and are maybe getting their questions answered. I would definitely read this book and any others by Kailee. She is an amazing writer!!!
Kindle Customer –
How the whole thing starts in Sal’s own words. From his fleeing Boston with Nico to his ending up in Sugargrove and entering into the world he had always dreamed of. One signature on a contract and he would become the ‘the kid’ and the hottest commodity BDSM around.Another brilliant job Ms. Samuels…. I cannot wait for more!
Megan Alexis –
Wow. Young Sal never ceases to amaze me. I love delving into his past and seeing his growth. I cant wait to dive even further. And not to overly fan girl… but Anna!!!!! Ahhhhh I adore her!!

This bite sized morsel of Sal was SUCH a tease! If ever I was left drooling for the next book in a KRS series, this was it. Here we meet Sal in some depth, at his earliest yet. An 18 year old punk kid, with all the swag and apparent confidence of a twenty something, marches right into his life in Sugargrove with barely a blink. Interwoven into this sexy intro, we are talked through what was REALLY going through his ever calculating mind from the perspective of his 18 year old self with the added benefit of a 30 year old’s wisdom and subsequent experience. All together, it adds SO much to the larger storyline. I can honestly say this may well be this author’s finest writing to date. The intricacy and attention to detail required to piece this all together is truly astounding. I am panting for the next installment while left absolutely thrilled to have been given this glimpse back in time. A PERFECT book for readers new to Sal and KRS as well as an absolute treat for current fans. This collection is liable to change the game. Look out y’all, the potential here is limitless 😈🍒🍒❤ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh wow what a great prequel and getting to see how Sal came to be who he is. There are many facets to this book and I just love Sal and his damn hotness lol also a lot of characters you will know of and love do come in to play in this story( that’s of course if you’ve read any previous books)Peaking in to how, what or who Sal will do to get in to the prestigious Juliet school, had my fingers on fire as the sex scenes were as always hot as fire!!!!Kailee never disappoints me her writing is just amazing and she pulls you in to every book she writes and all the characters just suck you in also whether you like them or not lol. I can’t wait to of course as usual read more from my unicorn author!!!! If this is your first book I urge you to go and download every other Kailee book you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Jenny B –
I am loving on all this background to Sal and his story. This read was another super quick but holy hotness read that filled in so many gaps regarding Sal and his character. I adored the perspective of this being a glimpse of the 18 year old mindset Kate was incredibly intriguing character and I love the connection between the two as well as all the other women who helped make him the man he was. So many gaps being filled in through this read and I am still left needing more!!!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Although a quick read we find ourselves engulfed int he world of Sal Raniero. HE is just 18 and his father has dropped him off to start a new life. Little did his father know he would not be coming back to play ball. He was done with his father and he was ready to start something new. Who called Salvatore home was it Anna, Kate, Serene, or Jack? Find out in this epic beginning of Salvatore Raniero. The book fills in gaps we have been asking ourselves for a very long time sit back and enjoy the ride.

As with any KS books you never know what to expect. This was lighter than her typical tales. But what can I say, Sal, Yum. He’s young, not as experienced as we’ve come to know him, but still it’s Sal. This fills in some holes and answers some questions but as always she leaves us wanting more. A nice quickie, which if you’re familiar with her work is rare. Usually, like in Texas she likes them big. Can’t wait for more.
Kristina Simkins –
KRS has done it again! Another phenomenal read that grips you from the very first page.If you love Sal this is an absolute MUST READ. We go back in time to when he was just an eighteen year old punk kid who wanted away from the life he was born to and grew up surrounded by. We get the secrets, names, details and reasoning behind the decisions made and the steps took that led him to be the Sal we all know and love today. I loved this informative and entertaining glimpse into Sal’s beginning.Highly recommended to all Sal lovers!♥︎♥︎
Lisa –
WOW I really loved this going back to Sal’s younger self of 18 to see where it all begins and it is intense hearing his version of events and the people he meets. I can’t wait for more.

This little morsel was so welcome in my collection of brilliant reads by this author. Each story builds on the last and intertwines with others. It’s like coming home again. Grab a seat, pour a drink, and get comfy. If this is your first taste, you will be hooked like the rest of us. If you’re familiar with Sal, welcome home.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Go back with Sal and see how it all started. From his obsession with the fetish world to wanting to be a dominant this little book fills in the start of Sal and his entry into Sugergrove and just who may or may not be truly trusted. I was surprised to see just how important Nico really is to Sal and how the beginning of their friendship really started. If you have been following this journey then this is more of the puzzle you do not want to miss because really, who can you trust…..”trust noone!”
jwm –
This was a great compliment to Sal’s stories. We get to know the time between when he left home and started at Juliet. There’s always so many layers to these stories and I can’t wait until we get to unravel all of Sal! This was told in a first person chronologically with extra insight from Sal.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Nan3G –
This was one of the fastest read from Mrs. Samuels that I have ever read and I love it. Some twists but I love seeing all sides of Sal. He makes you fall for him everytime. Mrs. Samuels draws us in with all the details. Do not miss.
KC –

Believe me when I say you will be surprised to learn new things about him.You don’t want to miss this fantastic novella… it will leave you “sal”ivating for more!
Jamillah –
This is a short story of a young Sal learning the players at Juilet and Boy this 18 yr old Sal is already a ladies man on so many levels. Sal is about to learn the key plays in this new journey he is about to take us on and I can’t wait to go on this read with him. Loved it!!!!
Nat –
The perfect insight to Sal and the people and experiences that molded him into the alluring, but dark and dangerous man he is today! I’m always left breathless and in need of a very cold shower whenever I read about Sal Raniero and his exploits and this little tease into his past was no exception! A fabulous look back, if you love all things Sal then this is definitely the book for you!
Sara Callaway –
This is a quick read but is chalked full of information and fills in some gaps. I loved reading about how he started out and what helped shape him into the man that he is now. This is a great introduction to new readers.
letha Gene –
Oh My God! This book is so hot I almost had to set outside and read it! I love learning about Sal and the things that shaped the Sal we all know and love! Once again Kailee you haven’t let me down! Great job!
Gina Yingwane –
A great backstory on our brilliant, young Sal. Even at 18, he was charming, sexy and dominant! I loved learning how he happened upon Juliet and his sweet Anna. I’m so excited to get my hands on all the snippets from Sal’s little black book. I laughed out loud several time. This is going to be a great feel good series.
Nathalia Best –
Even though it’s a quick read, you will still be completely captivated the entire time. KRS fully captured the beautifully dark side of her characters. You will never be able to get enough of the drug that is Sal, come join in.
Jenna Bostick –
What can I say….once again Kailee did not fail us. I don’t think it’s possible that I could fall anymore in love with Kailee or Sal!!!! Can never get enough, and can hardly wait for what’s next. A quick read, but fantastically written that kept me hanging on every word from start to finish. Love, love, love!!!!!!! I need more!!
Jennifer Zapata –
This book takes you back to when Sal was just 18 and how he got to meet the people that become such big parts of Kailee’s books! Cannot wait to read more!! Love it!
Scott Ryan –
Better. More soothing, which is Not what I usually expect lol. Sal is his usual charming self, if maybe a bit rougher around the edges. Awwww…. Sal is always smooth. I did not expect the early deep connection to Nico. (Although I should have)Looking forward, very much, to what follows.

“Trusting without question and going there with no reason other than to experience.”Sal Raniero’s Little Black Book Prequel The Contract is a delicious little read. Right from the beginning we get down to business. As “The Kid” on the run looking for freedom we follow Sal on his journey of the first months after leaving his childhood home in Boston. I love younger Sal and witnessing the baby steps in his growth to become the man he is today. I can never get enough of him and am always desperate for more. Shout out to my boy Nicky and my girl Anna, I always love seeing more of them. If you are new to KRS this is a great book to start off with. I’m definitely ready for Sal Raniero’s Little Black Book and the first client!!! Highly recommend!!! “There was no turning back now. Reel her in. Breathe. Don’t think. Just work it.”

With such a rich tapestry of characters and events, Kailee Samuels has produced an epic and complex story, which just continues to grow with every mesmerising addition. It starts and ends with the bright star that is Salvatore Raniero, who moves throughout each book with his justifiable swagger, panache, sexy aura which combines with a sharp mind, a compassionate soul, a lover of women and men and the courage to take life firmly by the throat and shake it to unearth the nuggets of gold it hides. I think I know Sal, but sometimes I feel that he is like the Cheshire cat, and all I really end up seeing is that smile as he spirits himself away in order to get up to mischief.This prequel is a firmly satisfying taster of things to come, and insight into future events. Wonderful
Jaime Reynolds –
I need more!!! Loved how the author takes us to the beginning with Sal as he entered the Juliet world. A quick read that wets your taste buds and leaves you wanting more yet again. Love Sal and I cannot wait for more of him and his little black book. She never disappoints and is a must read author!!!
