Rate this book
My uncle is a dangerous man, an ex-enforcer known as ‘the savior’ who never backs down from a challenge. Now, he’s got his sights set on me.

When I stand up to a mafia prince with a chip on his shoulder, I put myself in danger, forcing me to turn to my uncle, who now works as a lawyer. Pretending I don’t want him isn’t easy.

I can’t betray Aunt Lucy, but as Nico and I text, our attraction grows until it’s hotter than sin and impossible to ignore. When I discover a secret about their so-called marriage, our temptation becomes irresistible.

Words on a screen have no right to make me feel this way. Nico is tall, dashing, and experienced. Hiding behind my phone, I feel like his digital princess.

When our relationship crashes into the real world, everything is at risk. “To keep you safe, I’ll have to let out my dark side. Then you’ll never want me again.”

* Texting My Mafia Savior is an insta-everything, OTT, standalone romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

Oh my gosh, the PINING! Done right, pining by a couple in a hopeless love can be just as sexy as the more heart rate increasing physical activities and man, can Ms. Ferrari write it!!!

This was a taboo love story with a gorgeous older man willing to do just about anything to be able to make his much younger niece, his. Including making an enemy of a psychotic mafia prince, possibly forcing him to return to his old life, that of the Enforcer, to the very mob he had insulted.

Nico truly had been the Enforcer but he had also earned other names as well from those unlucky enough to warrant his attention such as Nightmare, Barbarian, and to those he helped whenever possible, Savior. That was all behind him now though; he had worked hard to distance himself from that life but now it seemed to be trying to drag him back. There was only one thing now that could make him go back and that was his beautiful niece. He’d do ANYTHING for her.

This was such a good book, I LOVED it! It had suspense, love, plenty of steam and SO MUCH pining. But before anyone gets too concerned about just HOW taboo it was, let me set your mind at ease, Aria wasn’t related by blood to Nico at all and there were erm, circumstances… For readers who are fans of mafia romance or age gaps, this book may well turn out to be your catnip—at least it was for me. 5 perfect age gap stars!!.

Arriana our FMC is clubbing with her best friend Lilly when they cross paths with the heir to the Caruso crime family Enzo. Enzo threatens both of them and to make their escape the FMC assaults him.

After this incident the Caruso’s decide to press charges against the FMC as an intimidation tactic.

Unbeknownst to the FMC, her family has heavy ties to the Caruso family.

Our MMC is Nico, a former enforcer for the Caruso family turned lawyer. He is married to the FMC’s aunt Lucy. Lucy pleads with him to take on the FMC’s case so they can make these charges go away as this puts their whole family in danger.

Sparks fly the moment they lay eyes on each other and a few innocent texts turns into something so deliciously forbidden.

As the FMC is pulled deeper into the web of the underworld she soon realises her aunts marriage to Nico is not what it seems and her family is keeping a huge secret from her.

This is on the very light side of mafia romance which was nice and refreshing to read because I am a dark romance girly.

I also would like to mention that I loved the fact that the FMC was a plus size girly. It’s nice to read about women you can relate to and see your body shape represented in romance novels.

What happens when you spot a gorgeous woman at a coffee shop only to realise she is your niece who is being threatened by the very people you walked away from all those years ago? That’s for me to know and for you to find out.

Their Surprising Explosive Connection -
Arriana didn’t expect her night out with her best friend would lead them into a dangerous situation or that she would uncover secrets her family had kept hidden from her for years. Even though Nico’s wasn’t happy about being dragged back into the mafia life, he knew couldn’t say no Arriana from the moment he laid eyes on her. Whilst Arriana and Nico were spending time trying to resolve the situation, the sparks between them ignited to a level that made it difficult for them to ignore embarking on a relationship that would be deemed taboo.

Unfortunately, Arriana and Nico’s path to happiness didn’t run smoothly, as their families were drawn into the complex situation, which led to a change in their lives. Luckily, Arriana and Nico decided to take matters into their hands to deal with the matter permanently, so all of them could live their lives peacefully and safely. This was a gripping and remarkable story, that had me on the edge of my seat from the first chapter and kept me on tenterhooks with each page turn, until I read the final word. This romance story is a perfect mix of steaminess, drama, action and suspense, so be prepared to be totally engrossed for a few hours, as you won't want to take a break once you start reading.

Texting My Mafia Savior is an intoxicating blend of danger, desire, and forbidden attraction. When a strong-willed heroine stands up to the wrong mafia prince, she turns to the one man she knows can protect her—her powerful and dangerously alluring uncle-by-marriage, Nico. What starts as an innocent exchange over text quickly turns into something hotter than sin 🔥, creating a tension-filled, addictive romance.

The texting romance angle adds a fresh, tantalizing dynamic, making the slow-burn chemistry even more intense 📱. Nico is the ultimate alpha—commanding, protective, and exuding raw power, while the heroine’s inner conflict keeps the stakes high. As their digital connection collides with real-world consequences, the passion between them becomes impossible to ignore.

If you love OTT possessive heroes, age-gap romance, and mafia intrigue wrapped in an irresistible, fast-paced love story, this one’s for you. Expect intensity, temptation, and a sizzling HEA that will leave you breathless ❤️‍🔥!.

TROPES:
~instalove
~aunt's husband
~age gap

Ummm, what was this? Lol. Arriana is in some trouble. Her aunt's husband Nico comes to the rescue! They've known of each other for maaany years but have never met. He's attracted to her instantly, and she is to him as well. There's a huge forbidden aspect to this book seeing as how he's married and her "uncle".

I did not enjoy this one, and I usually enjoy this author's books. The hero has an "open marriage" with his wife and they both see other people. People have different versions of cheating... and seeing as how that's my ONLY trigger, I didn't enjoy this one.

SAFETY:
Virgin/manwhore/celibate: virgin heroine, not a manwhore hero
OM/OW: no
Cheating/sharing: I believe this is cheating, yes, but the hero technically has an "open marriage" and has only kissed his wife once at their wedding many years ago.
HEA?: yes

My bookshelves may contain spoilers.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Arriana & Nico. After trying to get her friend away from a man she believes is just a creep she finds herself in more trouble than she can deal with. When her aunt agrees to get her help she thinks everything will be just fine now. That is until she sees her Uncle Nico again and knows she has just put herself in a whole new realm of problems. Nico agreed to marry his wife for appearances sake and to get them both out of the clutches of the mob. So when his wife comes to him and asks him to help her niece he is understandably reluctant. One look is all it takes for him to put it all on the line for the one woman he can't help but know is meant to be his. Can they find a HEA or will others make sure that never happens?

Another amazing hit by this author. I would highly recommenced it to anyone

Texting My Mafia Savior is a steamy, OTT, taboo, age-gap, curvy virgin gets her mafia man romance. Arriana is a sassy and curvy girl who gets in trouble with the mafia while at a club. Nico is her hunky uncle, by marriage only, who is a lawyer but used to be an enforcer in the mafia. When Arriana goes to him for help, he's pulled back into a life he worked hard to leave behind, but for his curvy beauty, he will do it. I have mixed feelings on this book. It read fast, was hot and steamy, and the taboo wasn't as bad as I thought. We find his marriage is in name only, but it still felt a little like cheating to me, although all parties agreed to the open marriage as it was more for her aunt's protection. That being said, the chemistry was hot, the ending was happy, and I still found it enjoyable.

Flora Ferrari has given us another great book. This is book 11 in the Text Me You Love Me Book series. We follow Arriana and her girlfriend who go out for a night out and it goes wrong when her girlfriend insults a mafia prince and she has no choice but to ask her uncle who is a lawyer but used to be in the mafia for help. It doesn't take long before feelings come to the surface between them even though he is not her real uncle because the marriage between him and her aunt is not real either but a sham so that he and her aunt are safe from trouble. Soon they are texting each other and having hot and steamy encounters. Flora Ferrari's books keep your attention and are always enjoyable.

Arriana moves back home and immediately gets in trouble. Unfortunately, it's with mafia ties. Nico is now a lawyer but use to be an enforcer. Somehow, he got out and was able to remain in the city. He helps her get out of the trouble but then he and Arriana admit to feelings. Those feelings become obvious that Nico and his wife's marriage comes under scrutiny. Unfortunately, the eww factor that Arriana is Nico's niece by marriage is hard to get past. If that tie wasn't there, the story would have been better. The texting is used quite a bit to communicate, flirt, and sexting. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When Arriana meets her lawyer uncle again, both of them instantly have strong feelings for each other. She insulted a mafia prince, not knowing who he is. Nico used to work for the mafia and is married to Arriana's aunt, but it is a fake marriage to prrotect her from the mafia. They get drawn into the mafia world and their feelings. Their love is taboo, Nico officially being her uncle and much older than her. Arriana's father forbids them a relationship and Nico is willing to go back to his dark side to protect her. Will they be safe and has their love a chance against all this obstacles?.

While out with her best friend they draw the attention of the wrong man and Arriana finds herself in legal trouble until her uncle comes to her rescue. This sets into effect events that will force her to face her feelings for Nico and the past that her family has been sheltering her from.

Nico was an enforcer for the mafia who agreed to marry Arriana’s aunt to protect her from the Don. He now finds himself dragged back into the life as he tries to find a way to protect both Arriana and her family.

Great chemistry, a little suspense and two people who are meant for each other despite all the forces trying to keep them apart.

A great story that you are not able to put it down.

This Book 11 in The Text Me You Love Me Book Series has an entertaining romance story, a well-crafted world and intriguing characters. These characters have unique personalities, complicated histories, and believable interactions. This story has an insta-love romance, an age-gap romance, a woman in trouble with a Mafia Prince at a club, her Ex-Enforcer Uncle, a marriage arrangement (do not like that it started while still married), danger, twists, turns, action, chemistry and love.
This is a well-paced, action-packed, romance.

When Arriana gets in trouble her uncle steps in as her lawyer to help. When she meets him she starts getting feelings no matter how taboo it is. They start texting while trying to survive. What follows is a lesson in survival, while finding out the “marriage” between her aunt and uncle is a sham, and falling for her older “uncle”. This is an age gap, taboo, mafia romance, with some spice and a HEA.

This is a taboo story involving an uncle and niece. Arriana gets into some trouble involving the mob. The only who can save her is her uncle Nico ( he's married to her aunt). There is no cheating in the book since the marriage isn't a real marriage. There is some drama between the Mafia and characters. Tropes: taboo relationship, age gap, ex mafia enforcer, and innocent FMC.

Arianna and Nico have a very antsy story. Nico is married to Arianna's aunt, in name only. Arianna goes to Nico for help but soon finds her feelings growing for him. They can't stop their feelings and soon find themselves flirting.
Their story is fast-paced and taboo. It's still entertaining and sexy. I had fun reading it.

This is a fantastic book with an engaging plot. Arriana "insults" a crime boss while out with her friend at a club. This leads her to need an exceptional lawyer, who is Nico. The twists in this book are amazing, and the spice is delightful. I enjoyed the dynamic between Nico and Arriana. I was hooked from beginning to end. Believe me, you won't regret getting this book for yourself. EXCELLENT!!!!!

Family matters

Texting My Mafia Savior is the eleventh book in the Text Me You Love Me series. This is a story that is about secrets, longings, family, taboos, and more about Arriana and Nico. These two have a spark that keeps growing, keeps changing, and keeps burning. When it finally all explodes watch out as there is a lot coming at you and fast. This was a very entertaining read with good characters developing along the way.

What started as a fun night out turned into a Mafia family drama. Arria was only trying to protect her friend from an aggressive sleaze bag ending in her being sued. The only person to get her out of trouble was her Uncle Nico. Little did she know what would happen next. Great read.

Texting My Mafia Savior is another super steamy mafia OTT insta romance by Flora Ferrari. Once I started reading Nico and Arriana's forbidden story I was completely hooked. When Arriana finds herself in danger from Enzo Caruso, of the Caruso crime family she goes to Nico for help. Their connection may be forbidden but it's also explosive. Definitely recommend.
