Silver Fox Billionaire Mob Boss

by Aria McDow

I fled into the arms of a mob boss for protection… and ended up pregnant by my father’s sworn enemy.

I went to the club alone to dance away my stress when the ultimate stress reliever walked in.
At 6’4”, he’s rich, powerful, handsome...and old enough to be my dad.

His commanding presence and intense eyes drew me to him like a magnet.
Our mutual attraction led to one lust-filled night of heart-pounding, body-pumping passion.

The next day I was falsely accused of stealing from a violent drug cartel which put my life expectancy at zero.

Desperate, I’m forced to seek protection from a stranger.
Surprise! He’s my one-night stand, mob boss Marco Tomacelli.

He became my savior as well as my new boss. I swore to keep things professional, but he claimed me body and soul.
Dangerous enemies are coming for us both so his plan to leave the crime world behind is in jeopardy.

He has my heart and he has no clue he’s knocked up the daughter of his ex-best friend and sworn enemy.

This book is not nearly as clichéd and formulaic as the title suggests. Not gonna lie, the title is awful and makes it sound like one of those hit and run romances written by an author who cranks out three a month. But This is not another mass produced mafia romance. I enjoyed it. Yes, there was a formula and tropes, but I feel that the author used those tropes to frame a point of view, and effectively. There was some very interesting consideration about crime and responsibility, culpability and forgiveness, as well as redemption. I thought the characters were layered and very human, except the best friend ̷P̷l̷o̷t̷ ̷D̷e̷v̷i̷c̷e̷ Luisa. Some of the coincidences were a bit much, but this can be forgiven because they were instrumental in effecting the themes. Bottom line, I was entertained and this book made me think, so I give it a solid four stars.

Hot dang Aria Mcdow tells this story well! Holy moly ! Six foot four , handsome , powerful…say no more , I know the score . One night of pure unadulterated lust filled passion . Get the attraction? Marco and Nikki did some dirty dancing before taking the party to a most private setting. The next day she stands falsely accused of stealing from a violent drug cartel. She seeks out Mob boss Tomacelli … Marco Tomacelli…yup the one and the same . What will he do when he finds out that he knocked up his ex best friend / enemy’s daughter who sought him out for protection…pity he didn’t think of using any… Aria Mcdow knows right where to hit with these awesome love stories with plenty of grit. Amazing dialogue , great storytelling with characters who are believable and the descriptions make the story come alive with the dance of the author’s prolific pen.

Will he help her out of her bind and when they learn his connection to her father will it destroy their budding relationship.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. {Marco & Nikki} (triggers- drug trafficking, gun violence, illness, gang violence). This book is pretty good. It is an insta-romance and a short read. The author gives us the element of danger with a little bit of mystery and a little bit of spice. The only things I didn't like were the time jumps, there were so many and the main characters spent more time apart than together. Which brings me to the second thing I didn't like. I didn't really feel a connection between the main characters at least nothing more than lust and since they never really spent time together with real dialogue outside of what was going on with the cartel it was hard to build in my head. Lastly, who exactly was chasing them at the end? That was a complete let down. Other than that, it wasn't bad at all.

Protecting His one Night Stand

When the only person who could protect Nikki turns out to be her one-night stand Marco, the story is bound to get interesting. Their attraction is quite explosive which complicates the fact that danger is close by, and all plans go out the window. The connection of their pasts really added to the drama of their forbidden love despite the circumstances that brought them together in the first place. What an entertaining story with exciting moments that really made these characters shine.

This was Marco and Nikki’s story. She went to the club alone to dance away her stress when the ultimate stress reliever walks in.

The next day she’s falsely accused of stealing from a violent drug cartel which puts her life expectancy at zero. Desperate, she’s forced to seek protection from a stranger. Surprise! He’s her one-night stand, mob boss Marco. It was an intense and exciting read. And voluntarily leaving this review.

Strong

Good story. Nikki was a strong young woman. Very Street smart. Self-taught culture. Love fursiley. Was willing to sacrifice herself for the love of her mother. which led her to the wrong path.
Marco was an up standing man. One leg in and one out of the mafia world. Once he met Nikki through a bad situation, he decided to speed up the process to remove himself from the mob.
Things were developing between them until both of their past collided.

Good story. Why was him getting 3 times irrelevant? Was the friend alive dead?

[Barbara]

WOW this book is very irresistible mafia romance book that has not only power but passion and heat that will knock you off your feet. So, sit back and let Aria WOW you with this romance book about Nikki and Marco who were supposed to be off-limits from each other but ended up together with a daughter and finding their HEA. This book is one HOT and DELIGHTFUL book that will be a perfect weekend read.

[Danee]

I enjoyed the story. Marco and Nikki are opposites, Marco is not really a good man, but that does not stop them from seeking each other out while there is unrest and battle between the cartel and the mafia. In addition to the drama, action, violence and tension, there is plenty of room for steamy and hot moments between them.

OMG 😱 this was another mafia story that is mind blowing. I was steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. Marco and Nikki were physical and chemistry was spicy and dangerous but hot in this moment. Was she falling in love with him or could this a distracted.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

Awesome Book!!
Loved reading Silver Fox Billionaire Mob Boss. Once I started reading this book I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Nikki and Marco is steamy HOT and I loved their story.

[SANDRA VEGA]

Enjoyed reading this book

I gave it a four stars because their were two to three misspelled words and two chapters that were repeat. The story was interesting. Loved the characters.

[archie faye harvey]

Love comes at any time

Loved this book. The main characters are both weary of commitment and afraid to trust lightly due to past hurts. It takes a almost tragic incident to open their eyes to real love and trust. I highly recommend you read this book.

[Mylene Williams]

The flow of this book was not smooth. Nikki and Marco was bad man meets the good girl. The usual mafia fair of mafia and cartel wanting to usurp each other but only one can truly win.

Very interesting and surprising book. This age gap romance took me by surprise many times in the course of the love story between Marco and Nikki. She might be quite a bit younger than him but her mental age and maturity are an excellent match. Uncovered secrets brought about some exciting twists and turns that were completely unexpected. I did not see those coming. Spine tingling moments were a welcome addition to this story. Had me on the edge of my seat at times. Mafia romance at its best.

[Shannon]

Overall enjoyed reading. Thought the book started a bit slow and then finished quickly. Was a fast read was able to read it in an evening

[Joanne Hubbard]

Great read

What a great read this was. Really enjoyed the romance with the danger of the cartel so glad i read it

[Leigh's Little Library]

This was a quick and easy read with a little spice and a little suspense.

I liked Nikki. She was independent, maybe a little naive at times, but she knew who she was and what she wanted.

I think with Marco being a mob boss, mixed in with the trouble from the cartel, I was hoping for a bit more suspense and tension. There were bits that had me turning the page quickly, but I felt like I wanted a little more.

The slow build-up with Marco and Nikki was sweet, but with the time jumps, it didn't feel smooth and took a minute for me to get back into the flow with them.

I'd have loved if there was a little more spice.

All in all, it was an enjoyable read that could ease in beginners of spicy romance books.

Thank you to the author and to booksprout for my free copy to read and review 😊
