Seduced By The Mafia
When Leonardo Silva came into Angel West's life, she assumed he was a fallen star sent directly from heaven. He was gorgeous, attentive and yet something gave her pause, when she wasn't weak at the knees from their passionate nights together. A burden that weighed on him heavily. The family business that he wanted no part in. He wanted her, or so he said. His touch and gaze could burn through to her core, and just when she found herself at his mercy, he disappears without a word.
Later, what returns to her isn't the same man. The destiny that he refused, has taken hold. Leonardo was now a Mafia Don. A man who would take a match to anything that got in his way and Angel learns his disappearance was not all it appeared to be. As much as he has changed, there is one thing that hasn't; the unshakable desire to make her his.
But the forces that caused him to take up the mantle as head of the Silva Crime Family do not rest. The fight for New Haven has only just begun, as has the battle within Leonardo for his very soul. Angel holds the key to the latter and she must choose whether to fight alongside him, or be scattered among the ashes of his enemies.

About the author
Aaron L. Speer
21 books415 followersI love writing adult paranormal fiction. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts... oh my. I've been writing since I was 11 but I've always been a dreamer... often getting caught staring off into space as I created stories in my mind.
One of my stories, Night Walker (Undeadly Secrets Series Book 1), won the 2017 Golden Stake Award at the International Vampire Film and Arts Festival held in Transylvania annually. I'm still quite chuffed about walking away with it after facing some great contenders.
Currently there are 6 books in the Undeadly Secrets Series, 3 books in the Undisputed (MMA Romance) series and 2 Independents short stories plus a brand new series beginning with Owned By The Mafia, released in 2023
I'm so proud of the fact both Undisputed and Unbroken both won the same award a year apart from each other. *TOP 50 INDIE BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
My favourite activities include spending time with family, watching my beloved St George Illawarra Dragons, popping into the movies for the latest blockbusters, going to the gym for my dream body. Or just a body. Anything, really.

All of his life, Leonardo was groomed to rule. He was heir apparent to a mafia fiefdom and yet, all he wanted was to live a normal life. To be happy, find love, have children, and create a new legacy. However, destiny has a way of finding you and Leonardo learns the hard way that the very life that he ran from may be the only thing that can protect the ones he loves.
I loved Leonardo. He was kind and thoughtful, cold and lethal, a man of many contradictions. Every time he handled a situation, I got all tingly. The fact that he was created as quite the generous lover sure didn't hurt.
I liked the idea of New Haven being kind of an urban utopia. As Angel said, "This is New Haven, nothing bad ever happens here." Until it did.
Seduced by the Mafia is full of action, suspense and mystery. I was kept guessing at who the 'bad guy' truly was and I enjoyed the not knowing. Seems like Aaron L. Speer can really write anything.

This series has been a blessing to find and my new guilty pleasure! Leonardo was the perfect blend of affectionate, mischievous, and psycho! He could be charming and seductive in one moment and the next sadistically end someone in the most creative ways. He kept the pages burning and kept me on edge from beginning to end! I highly recommend this series if you love a good story and a hefty dose of spice!

Well if you are looking for a sexy suspenseful story look no further. This book is set to light your kindle on fire 🔥 🔥🔥, with a sassy heroine and a sexy, thoughtful yet alpha hero. Leonardo and Angel set out as a normal couple at the start of a relationship, however fate is a wicked mistress and Leonardo is dragged into a world he never wanted to be part of. In an effort to protect Angel, Leo withdraws to play the hand he's been dealt, but even that plan is set to fail.
This engaging book can be read as a standalone, although you might like to read Owned by the Mafia first and get to meet another of these sexy Mafia Dons, trust me it's worth it.

Having just been dumped by her crappy ex, Angel West was not looking for a relationship. But there was something about the new guy at work that even when she tried to resist him, she couldn’t. Groomed to be the next Don of his family, Antonia Silva decided instead to make his own way in the world, turning his back on the mafia. He’s fine with that decision until he’s on a date with Angel and all hell starts to break loose around his city. Now, when his family needs him the most, he can’t walk away from them, and instead, walks away from Angel.
But, the threat of The Void is trying to take out anyone that Antonia cares for, including Angel and he has no choice but to bring her into his world. But, can she accept who he truly is?
Ohhh boy, once again Aaron L. Speer has delivered a suspenseful mafia romance filled with grit, violence and one very dirty talking mafia don!
I enjoyed that Leonardo had two sides to him. He could be completely ruthless, but he was also loving and loyal to those he cares for. He’s also extremely possessive of Angel, doing his best to not be over the top, while completely being over the top in the best of ways. Angel was a fun character as well. She has a hard time conflating her sexy boyfriend as the violent mafia don. But, once she makes up her mind, she’s all in and doesn’t want to be left on the sidelines.
The plot includes more of the story arc started in Owned by the Mafia, but can easily be read as a standalone. The suspense is well done and it shows a very brutal underworld in the city of New Haven that most people have no idea is happening until The Void, hoping to destroy the Mafia, starts taking things public. It’s action packed and full of dirty talk and extremely spicy scenes between Angel and Leonardo that will leave you blushing!
4 stars for this dark and suspenseful mafia romance.

Beginning with another hilarious ‘Author Note’, we are then taken into book two of the New Haven Mafia series.
This one is about Leonardo Silva, heir apparent to the Silva Crime Family. He doesn’t want to be a part of that world, wanting to live a normal life with a happy family of his own.
He meets Angel West when he starts a new job at the same place as her. She had just broken up with her ex and took on teaching him all there is to know about waiting tables. She wasn’t looking to start a new relationship with anyone, but the attraction between her and Leonardo was undeniable.
And let’s not forget about the spice.... 🔥
Leonardo’s new normal comes crashing down around him while on a date with Angel, when the city goes into chaos thanks to The Void, and he needs to help his family, leaving Angel behind. Except she refuses to stand down and is all in to be with him.
This story does link in to the first book, Owned By The Mafia, but you could definitely read it as a standalone.
3.5/5 ⭐
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Holy smokes!
If you’re looking for mafia book that’s full of suspense, danger, action and kinky, erotic scenes, look no further!
Leonardo Silva is the heir set to take over his father’s role as Don of the Silva family but wants no part of it. When takes a job as a waiter where Angel works, he’s instantly attracted to her. But don’t let his almost sweet, smooth talking, gentlemanly ways fool you. He’s positively filthy in the bedroom! And hallway. And pretty much anywhere else the mood strikes.
The mafia plot revolves around The Void, a secret society hell bent on destroying the top mafia families of New Haven. When The Void attacks the Silva compound, family loyalty and fear for Angel’s safety forces Leo into the role he never wanted, but determined to bring The Void down.
While you could probably read Seduced by the Mafia as a stand alone, that would mean missing out on the equally sexy but sometimes infuriating Salvatore Carlino!

I thought I was in love with Sal from Owned by the Mafia but Leo is just as formidable and intriguing! I don't know which side I love more - the sweet gentleman or the dirty-talking mafia Don. I loved the chemistry between Leo and Angel. I love how he protects her, avenges her, and loves her. When The Void throws a wrench in Leo's plan to walk away from his family legacy, he has no choice but to return to save what's left of his family's business.
Aaron L. Speer once again delivered a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. If you love the Mafia world, over-the-top possessive heroes, and heroines that stand their ground, then this is one you should not miss!

This was perfect from start to finish. Leo was such a great MMC. Great spice. Great side character representation (Ben is awesome) and The Void fleshed out well. All the issues I had with the first book were resolved in this and it was great to see.
I love the fact that both books take place concurrently and the crossover point was done perfectly.
I couldn't put this down and I am so excited for the next book.

How do I begin to describe how uh I loved this book. I have no idea; I know I have been waiting for this one and I wasn't disappointed. It's one of the best books I have read this year. Leonardo and Angel were the perfect pair, but when you throw the mafia into it, will she stay ort will she go? I love a good mystery thrown into romance and this one was a good one. I loved it!!
March 6, 2024
I love that this book could be read as an interconnecting book to the first or as a stand-alone.
If you’re looking for a mafia book that’s full of sexy erotic scenes, suspense, danger, and overall kinky smut, look no further! This will keep you captivated as you watch the character development grow and evolve. I can't wait to see what else happens in the New Haven Mafia series!

Super spicy Mafia romance
Leonardo doesn't want the life of a mafia legacy. He takes a job at a restaurant and meets Angel. His future looks bright, working a regular job, marrying Angel and having a family. Safe, away from The Family. Until The Void returns to take control of New Haven. Leonardo has to step up to save his family, his community and the love of his life.
This series was really good!!! The characters were great, and the plot flowed nicely. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Aaron!

Well Than
It is hard to describe this book. If you're not interested in oral gratification, this book may not be for you. If you're not into a God of a man worshipping a woman, this book may not be for you. If you're not into complete female gratification, this book may not be for you. Definitely not suitable for reading in public.

Book 2 in this world didn't disappoint. Loved it from start to finish.
I love how the FL is strong and confident.
How the ML let's go at times.
Definitely can't wait for more from this series.
