Shane Flanagan has been questioning his sanity the minute he met Arianna "Mouth" Rossi. She has been a pain in his side with her continual references to the mafia and his resemblance to them and the antics she has put him through with her job, apartment, and overall anything associated with her. Through it all though Shane realizes she is meant to be his, now he has to find a way to tame the mouth.
Hilariously entertaining. Shane is mafia and there are things he doesn't know about Arianna. Normally someone going head to head with him would be shaking in their boots, but not Arianna, she doesn't even flinch. Some laugh out loud moments make for a delightful read.

I have no idea why this book/series does not have a thousand reviews because it is so darn good. The plot and characters are OTT exciting, it has a sassy (and deadly) beautiful protagonist, an alpha male who is a mafia don, loads of action scenes and some serious LOL moments. Also, I enjoyed that the author wrote mainly from the H's POV and she did an outstanding job getting the male vernacular just right.
My only issue is the cliffhanger that just keeps on giving and part four seems to be stuck as a WIP. Hurry Jordan. Please.

Weak writing with little to no build up of the characters or story. I quite frankly was confused between all the high ratings and what I read. Not pursuing the series.

This is the first book in the Spitfire Series by Jordan Silver. I don’t know why it took me so long to read this series but I’m glad I finally did.
Shane Flanagan is 26 years old and he’s taken over his grandfather’s criminal empire. Shane’s father chose to dedicate his life to medicine instead of crime.
Arianna Rossi is the daughter of the biggest mafia leader in Chicago. She watched as her beloved mother was beheaded in front of her when she was three years old. She’ll never stop killing until she avenges her mom’s death.
Arianna has been living in Shane’s town for months and he had no idea who she was. She was there trying to track down the men who killed her father.
Shane falls for Arianna but he’s not happy with her killing people so he tries to make her stay home.

Unfiltered comic relief. OTT ornery heroine. This series gets better with each re-reading. Arianna (Mouth) incites and stamps her personal brand of crazy. Jordan Silver writes, over protective heroes that revere their mothers.
Roberto contacts his old friend Patrick (Poppy) for help.
“I've got it covered it’s my baby girl; you remember Arianna yes?”
“I need to send her to you for safe keeping until I send my enemies to hell where they belong. Word is him and his brother concocted a scheme to force my little angel into marriage with one of their sons.”
“She just turned eighteen; the thing is she somehow got wind of it and is out for blood. The girl fancies herself to be some sort of gangster, my f-ing idiot brother's always filling her head with sh*t. Instead of baby dolls and tiaras he had her playing with epees and shuriken. While I was busy building an empire that f-k was turning my kid into his nephew”.
“If she wasn't my kid I would've capped her a long time ago does that answer?”
“Send her to me, I'll straighten her out.” Little did he know while he made that pledge to his old friend that things would change almost overnight.
Shane Flanagan (Prince of the City) is feared. Arianna Rossi...dwells upstairs of a pub that he’d just ‘requisitioned’ from its previous owner. He needed her place so she had to go. He owned enough residential buildings, but no. She had to dig in her heels giving him sh*t about tenant’s rights and lease laws. His little stepbrother James went to see her for the one hundredth time and apparently shot him in the a*s. That's why I'm here now in my office at my new pub, sitting across from the pain in the a*s. "So Miss. Rossi, we meet again." Crazy lady rolled her eyes at me. I looked over to my right hand man Michael who seemed to be having trouble not laughing. Of course he would find this shit funny, his wife, my sister Sophia wasn't much better in the crazy stacks. In fact all the bitches around here seemed to either be on the rag or plum
NC-ing nuts. Except my ma, ma was an angel among women. Dad's a heart surgeon, he's as far removed from this as you can get. I take lives, he saves them. We have running debates on the subject every Sunday at the dinner table, but that's for another time. Right now I'm trying to figure out what to do with 'the mouth'.
"Why did you shoot my little brother?"
"Do you know who I am Miss. Rossi?"
"Yeah yeah, the big bad Shaney Flanagan, so what?" Did she just call me Shaney?
"You read Sun Tzu? Just wondering why a little girl like you would be reading the Art of war." "Because I have to deal with dumb mf-ers every day, next question." I can't off someone who's touched, ma would have my hide.
"Well, did you have anything else to ask me, some of us actually work for a living?" "You still haven't told me why you shot him." "Oh that, I didn't like the cut of his pants , people shouldn't wear their butt crack for the world to see, first of all it's tacky as all hell and secondly it's unsanitary , why the CDC haven't cried outbreak on that sh*t yet is beyond me."
"Are you on some kind of medication for this shit lady?" "What sh*t, you think I'm crazy cause I'm not afraid of you Capone?" He put his head in his hand and started muttering under his breath, I think he was saying the Latin mass, sounded like something I'd heard in church eons ago. "What difference does it make, you’re not going to believe me over your precious brother anyway, and I hate wasting my breath, you never know when you'll end up in an enclosed room with no air, and you'll wish you'd saved that wasted breath." Okay I heard that loud and clear this time; he'd muttered an insult under his breath but not far enough under.
"Well if you wish I'd save my breath this time stop asking me questions." The big guy in the corner was red faced and he kept puffing out his cheeks, I think he might be constipated, poor thing. "He put his hands ...somewhere he shouldn't."
"Not much to tell, he grabbed my a*s, I gave him the impression I was interested and wanted to go put on something sexy just so I could get to my gun in the other room, at which time he saw said gun and tried to run, that's why he got it in the a*s and not the balls." "You were going to shoot him in the nuts for touching your a*s?" "My a*s, my territory, I call the shots."
"Get his a*s in here."
Well, if you're having a family reunion I need to be going I've got sh*t to do." "Sit down Rossi."
"Look buddy, you might have all day to sit around and pal around, but I've got to make a living. And since you've closed down this pub where I made that living, I need to hit the pavement to find a job. Capisce? "
"Maybe we can work out the same kind of arrangement you had with the old man." "What kind of arrangement?" "I don't know, what kind of arrangement did you have, I mean your rent is a joke, no way that's the going rate in this neighborhood even if it is a piece a shit. So you must've been paying it off some other way, plus he gave you a job right downstairs, pretty cushy if you ask me." "Are you implying, ...did you just, ... where's my gun? Hey you, in the corner, let me see your gun for a minute?" "Ahhhh."
"Would you settle down?" "No I will not settle down, I'm eighteen years old; Paulie has to be a hundred and ten and you're implying that I slept with him for a job and a subpar apartment? How dare you?"
"What am I gonna do with you?"
"Let me go find a job”.
“Is waitressing your only qualification?” "I'm in school, waitressing is flexible and it pays well."
"How about I give you a job in one of my clubs or restaurants whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll be making a hell of a lot more than you were here.”
"What's the catch?" "I need you to move out of here in a week, I’ll hook you up with a nicer place for the same money you're paying here. Do we have a deal?" "Two things, first I have to see the apartment and the club, and second as long as you remember my last name is Rossi and not Magdalene."
"I think that's the lady in the bible..."
"Just like that, after two weeks of your bs?"
"You didn't ask before, you ordered." "Ord...are you f-ing sh*tting me?" "I sh*t you not."
"I thought you wanted to see your new place?" "Your cheese fall off your cracker Don Corleone?" I knew this bitch was touched, what the f-k was she talking about, cheese and crackers? "You hungry?"
"You're not too bright are you Shane?" "How bout I clock you in that mouth of yours, would you like that?"
"Never mind Rocky, but seriously dude, this place must cost a mint, I paid three fifty a month in rent, there's no way I can afford the rent on this place, are you bent?" "What's the catch, I mean how do you see me paying this off?" "You're really obsessed with me f-ing you aren't you mouth?" "Whatever Tiny." Did she just insult my d-k? "Are you always this difficult?"
"Only when I'm being played." "No one's playing you, this is one of my buildings, I never said where your new place was gonna be, why can't it be here, don't you think you deserve to be in a place like this?"
"When I've earned it yes, until then sayonara."
"You sure that's all there is to it? There’s no secret passage leading from your lair to me, no midnight visits in the dark. I sleep with my nine homes, just saying."
"Have a lot of experience with midnight visits do you?" "Not really no, but since it looks like my caliber of acquaintance is about to change for the worse a girl can never be too careful." Did she just...? "Did you just insult me again?" "Who, lil ole me nevah."
"You want the place or not?" "Of course I want it, but I want a contract in writing that states my nookie is not for sale Repeat, Arianna Rossi's nookie is not up for grabs." I held the bridge of my nose between my fingers where I felt the headache starting. "You want my apartment over the pub?" "I could always drop your a*s in the river; I'm thinking that might be doing a lot of people a favor. In fact I should take out an ad in the paper see if a mf-er would pay me to take you out." "You're horny aren't you?" "It's the only explanation for your crankiness, either that or not enough bran in your breakfast cereal, come on then time's a wasting, let's go look at my new place of employment Don Vito." This chick watched way too much TV.
"Teresa Ricci, Arianna Rossi, she'll be working the floor starting tomorrow night, get Jess to show her the ropes, show her around, explain shit."
"F-d that didn't you, you dog?"
"Why do you say that?"
“Because she gave me the death ray glare. Somehow I pegged you as having better taste than that. She looks like a poodle having a f-Ed up hair day." Oh sh*t, maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all, mouth had no filter and Teresa was trying to get back on my dick, not gonna happen."Well come on Luca Brasi I have to go pack." "Would you stop with the Godfather shit already?" "Whatever you say Santino, say bye to the happy hooker and let's be out.
“Slow your roll there Nicky Scarfo."
"What did I tell you about that shit?" "Hey that's not from the Godfather; he's a whole other breed of crazy."
He led me upstairs to his office, poured me a cognac and sat behind his desk. "What's this?" "Drink it."
"Who was that jackass you tried to decapitate Tommy Pitera?"
"Gotcha he's a whole other brand a cray,cray, okey dokey." "Your girlfriend told me to go, I don't think Dina was too happy about it though and to tell you the truth if only pigs hang out up there I'd rather keep my section thank you very much. You think I don't know you just insulted me don't you?"
"I don't need your ass on the f-ing floor, how many mf-ers you want me to have to kill?" "Oh my! the light's on but nobody's home."She shook her head like I was a lost cause or some shit. "Say what now."
"Fine, go on the floor, but if I end up killing a mf-er it's on you."
"Oh yeah, who're the other hundred or so on Bugsy Siegel?"
At around three in the morning which was closing time I had Mikey go get her and bring her up to my office.
"My dogs aren't barking, they've crawled into a hole and died." She dropped down on the couch. "Dogs, what dogs, you're not allowed to have dogs in my building." They all started laughing, her, Mikey and Vinnie.
"It's an expression moron, it means my feet hurt."
"You're such a sweetheart, how can I resist?" One clip to the chin, please just one, who could blame me really, crazy a*s nut job. Dogs barking and shit, and those two a-holes weren't any better, laughing their f-ing heads off .
Ambushed on their way home, leaving behind the vestiges of his would-be attackers; good luck with identifying them. Stacco was a dead f-k. "You doing okay there mouth?"
"Oh just peachy, tell me again why it makes more sense for me to catch a ride with you than taking a cab? If I knew I would be trying out for a part in A Bronx tale, I would've dressed more appropriately."
"I'm thinking hanging with you might be detrimental to my health. I don't fare so good when messing with you Lucky Luciano."
I was gonna put a ring on it like the song said, first chance I get even if I have to hog tie her a*s and get her to the church.
"So Machiavelli you've deflowered little old me, what do you plan to do with me now, toss me aside like yesterday's news?" "I plan to drag your a*s in front of a priest as soon as my ma can arrange that shit.""Are you on something, you do know crack kills right?" Yeah, I wanted to spend the next fifty years listening to this sh*t, like I didn't have enough of this when I was a kid, surrounded by crazy a*s women.
"So, who all was shooting at you last night, a disgruntled husband perchance?" she had the nerve to bat her f-ing lashes at me. "I don't poach on other people's territory how insulting." "Don't get your panties in a bunch there Shawna baby, sheesh.
"Sure, why don't I just forget the whole thing, you said something about Stacco, is that the name of a person or a paint job?" "It's Stacco not stucco, stucco is a binder used......." "Yeah I really need a lesson in decorative house art from you right now Professor X." “Did you just call me a mutant?" "If the green fits baby.....hey......"
"Settle the f-k down will ya, damn it's too f-ing early for this shit, now forget everything you heard last night, that's the end of it." "You're a poor demented soul aren't you, bless your heart." I could only sigh and close my eyes to escape the insanity that was my life. "Anyway, I need to go home at some point because I can't work in the same clothes as last night." "My wife isn't working in no f-ing club are you bent." "You be sure and tell that poor beleaguered woman I send my condolences, now back to me and my need for clean clothes." I threw the washcloth at her f-ing head. "Oh thank you." She started washing her arms with it.
His Mum shows up to meet her new daughter with his sisters. His family has an estate that's acres and acres of Flanagan land as far as the eye can see and beyond. Anna and Vinnie built their home there, so did Sophie and Mikey, and of course ma and dad live in the original Flanagan mansion this big old monster that dates back to the seventeen hundreds. Ma insisted that my family home be there as well and since I make it a point never to #$&* with ma, there is where it is, though I spend most of my time at my condo. I'm a bachelor, at least I was until about twenty hours ago.
"Where's James?" "He wasn't feeling too well, I don't know what is going on with that boy, he's been hiding out in his room the last couple weeks."
What happened is that your new daughter put a cap in his a*s and he can't tell you why. Intersperses into remaining books.

"Sure, why don't I just forget the whole thing, you said something about Stacco, is that the name of a person or a paint job?" "It's Stacco not stucco, stucco is a binder used......." "Yeah I really need a lesson in decorative house art from you right now Professor X." “Did you just call me a mutant?" "If the green fits baby.....hey......"
"Settle the f-k down will ya, damn it's too f-ing early for this shit, now forget everything you heard last night, that's the end of it." "You're a poor demented soul aren't you, bless your heart." I could only sigh and close my eyes to escape the insanity that was my life. "Anyway, I need to go home at some point because I can't work in the same clothes as last night." "My wife isn't working in no f-ing club are you bent." "You be sure and tell that poor beleaguered woman I send my condolences, now back to me and my need for clean clothes." I threw the washcloth at her f-ing head. "Oh thank you." She started washing her arms with it.
His Mum shows up to meet her new daughter with his sisters. His family has an estate that's acres and acres of Flanagan land as far as the eye can see and beyond. Anna and Vinnie built their home there, so did Sophie and Mikey, and of course ma and dad live in the original Flanagan mansion this big old monster that dates back to the seventeen hundreds. Ma insisted that my family home be there as well and since I make it a point never to #$&* with ma, there is where it is, though I spend most of my time at my condo. I'm a bachelor, at least I was until about twenty hours ago.
"Where's James?" "He wasn't feeling too well, I don't know what is going on with that boy, he's been hiding out in his room the last couple weeks."
What happened is that your new daughter put a cap in his a*s and he can't tell you why. Intersperses into remaining books.

This book absolutely lives up to its name. Arianna, known as The Mouth, is loud, fearless, and completely over the top. She is a mafia princess who says whatever pops into her head and somehow walks through chaos completely untouched. Love her or hate her, she definitely keeps the story from ever feeling dull.
Shane, the so called Prince of the City, is the mafia boss who thinks Arianna is innocent and harmless, which honestly makes their dynamic even funnier. He underestimates her at every turn, and watching him slowly realize just how wrong he is was one of the more entertaining parts of the book.
That said, the level of craziness was not always for me. Arianna is so extreme that it sometimes pulled me out of the story. No one could realistically get away with that much in real life, but this is very much a Jordan Silver book, and she leans hard into that fantasy.
Even when it was not fully my thing, I still enjoyed the fast pace and the sharp banter. Jordan Silver does humor and bold characters well, and this book is a clear example of that. If you like loud heroines, mafia romance, and nonstop attitude, this one will probably hit just right.

Great start to a new series!
This is the second time I've read this book and still really enjoy it. I love the bickering back and forth between these two MCs.

I love the banter between the two. It's what I consider a funny, but fluff, story.

Shane Flanagan is Prince of the City and all around bad ass; that is until he comes up against Arianna Rossi the young spitfire with nothing but guts and determination on her side. They butt heads at every turn as they each battle for dominance. Who will be the victor in this tug of war as they circle each other while keeping their enemies at bay? Shane the tough young don? Or Ari the mouthy younger woman with a truck load of secrets?
Now that's a woman I can get behind. Mouth was just that, mouthy. She was angry, crazy and downright hilarious. And Shane was a caveman if ever I saw one.
I loved this book at times I laughed out so loud my family thought I had lost the plot.
I have already read all 4 in the series,
I did not want this series of books to end, But Jordan Silver has such a talent and a way with writing female characters you can relate to.
Plus they are hot hot hot lol I want my very own shane please

Was excited to read this series by Jordan silver period I enjoyed most of her books and I knew what this was going to be one of those good series. Shane Flanagan the" Prince of the City".Wow he was a strong, dominant sexy man you didn't mess with. Until (mouth he named her) Arianna Rossi enters his life and he is in for a awaking of a not only desire for mouth but a pain in the ass this women can be. Hard to handle is a understatement for what he goes through. With her continuous reference to the mafia movies, strong personality his sanity is put to the test. The chemistry between these two is so strong from the beginning, right to the end. I can't wait to read the second book I recommend highly

Novella 1 of the series. I listened to the audio of this one. It is definitely not a highly complicated story. It comes across a bit juvenile, lots and lots and lots of swearing. I don’t like the H calling the h a bitch all the time…but I’m invested now and will finish this. Off to the next one!
Safety:
OW: a former hook up of H tries to give h trouble. She doesn’t cause any real drama. Both MC’s kind of ignore her.
OM: a couple guys grab her butt. She (and he) deals with them
No cheating
No separation

These are one of the few series I’ve come across that are so good, but very underrated. The storyline is great. The characters are what most people who want to read mafia/smut look for. You’ve got a stubborn female lead who doesn’t take shit with a strong male lead who’s caveman tendencies work for him. I didn’t think they would be as good as they were since there were so few reviews on Amazon.

She's a spitfire
A very short novella that is definitely about one mouthy, spitfire of a girl. She's bratty and always has to have the last word. I honestly don't know how Shane hasn't killed or cooked her out yet, but love make strange bedfellows of some people. Interested to see where this matchup of wills will go

Shane and Arianna had me all caught up in this story with their banter and antics. It is a well written story with a woman who knows how to take down her adversaries and doesn't need a man to back her up only it drives Shane crazy because he thinks his woman should be at home taking care of the home and letting her man handle the problems.

March 14, 2020Now this was a good book! Yeah, the guy is still kind of a jerk, but oh my gosh, I LOVE Mouth! She gave as good as she got and then some and left her man wondering how he was going to tame her. Amazing! I loved the entire series.

Erm. Well. Uh.
It's a story I guess. Honestly I read. A lot of contemporary romance /erotica/dark romance, never have I read something so badly written and edited. I actually don't know if this is real or not or how it has a 4-star average, am I actually crazy?
