Sexting the Don

Silver Fox Daddies

by K.C. Crowne

When I slipped a note to the ruthless billionaire...
I never expected a text back—or his dangerous list of demands.


Years in the mafia hardened me. Made me untouchable.
Until her.
Mandy—a waitress with curves that could bring a man to his knees,
And a fire in her eyes that sparks something primal in me.

She’s in over her head, tangled in a mess she can’t escape.
She wants my help.
But nothing in my world comes for free.

Our texts grow hotter, darker, more daring by the day.
The problem? She doesn’t know the rules of this game.
I don’t take— I claim.
I’ll make her tremble with desire. Make her mine .The vultures are circling, waiting to tear her apart.
But this is my kingdom.
And I’ll burn this city to the ground before I let anyone get near her...
Or the baby inside her.

I'm not sure what I just read? The sexting thing happened for only a handful of pages and that's it. I felt a bit robbed because it says age gap but that is barely mentioned except for Enzo having some gray hairs and how he won't forget Mandy's "soft skin, eager response, and her innocence". Also a couple of guns, men, and enemies and suddenly it's mafia? This is a bad meh kind of book and one of those I'd gladly erase from memory given the opportunity to do so.

Also, people are saying that this is AI-generated so I think that explains everything.

What????

I'm really not understanding how anyone thinks this book is worth anymore than one star. You have a mob boss, the head boss, that eats alone? One that's not surrounded by men? One that let's a low life get the woman he loves? Run from this book. Shirley

I’m not really sure how l feel about this book l have read other books from the same author with differing reactions to each one. l felt somewhat frustrated by ‘Sexting the Don’ because the plot itself was solid and interesting but the storyline progressed slowly in a predictable manner despite its potential it just doesn’t get there. The two main characters Mandy and Enzo are interesting with so much potential especially given the supporting cast of characters however l felt the books steamy scenes interrupted the flow of the book instead of contributing to it. Given the Enzo’s role as a Mafia Don there was a lack of overwhelming aggression, desperation, desire or gritty emotions that usually accompany this genre.

Slipping the Seduction in Sexting

Mandy really seemed like she was ready for some changes in her life. Enzo was entertaining as can be with his protective masculinity. When he was referencing Mandy’s ‘Own ambitions’ was a bit of a stretch when it was only a letter left.

Another enjoyable K.C. Crowne tale.

Mandy Charles has been a personal trainer by day for a few years and waitressing by night at La Serna, an upscale Italian restaurant in Silver Lake with dreams set on opening her own gym. She has a big shot client that she's hoping to catapult her career so that she can stop waitressing and focus on personal training full-time. And most importantly she'll be able to afford a place large enough for her mom to move in with her, a refuge from Jimmy and his endless, chaotic bullshit. Jimmy Charles is Mandy's alcoholic, gambling addict deadbeat low-life dad and a crook. Jimmy wants Mandy to do him a favor by getting close to Enzo Martelli, the ruthless mob boss to help him pay off his debts. Her father is one of those losers who always seems to have a black cloud hanging over him as a result of his own bad choices. He's always trying some investments or other trying to come up and always losing money. He dipped into the little savings that her and her mom had on some casino operation investment and lost it all. And when that money was all gone he went to some loan sharks who tacked on an insane interest rate and now they gave him a month to pay it all back and if they don't get their money they were coming for everything that he own the house, the car and threaten to kill her and her mother.
He tells her that he wants her to get cozy with Enzo Martelli, the mob boss who comes there every Thursday. She had never seen Enzo before because she doesn't work on Thursdays, it was a Thursday and that's why Jimmy came to her to implement is plan. Mandy was immediately drawn to Enzo when he walked into the restaurant. There was something about him that draws her in, a magnetic pull that was impossible to ignore. She was undeniably turned on by his presence. The sight of him makes her pussy clench and wet right then and there. Enzo Martelli is a billionaire silver fox mafia who runs the largest crime Syndicate in LA and legimate businesses as well as a large legimate investment company call Acumen Investments. Enzo is known as an intelligent strategist, handsome and powerful man. Every Thursday he comes into LA Serna to eat and works quietly and asked not to be bothered which the bartender Kurt honors. Mandy has to get close to him to get his help to do the favor for her father and asked Kurt about him. She writes a note to him with her name, number and a few sentences hoping to make her case along with the dollar amount Jimmy told her to make sure she included.
She went over to him and collected his place and place the envelope on the table before he has a chance to notice it then quickly leave. He was mesmerized by her beauty and as he watched her his thoughts turns to possibilities. He thought she looks out of place to be working there and wondered if she might be interested in getting to know him. Her last name sounded very familiar to him so he did a search on his secure server and saw that she was the daughter of Jimmy Charles and immediately he started to formulate a plan on how it could be beneficial for him. Jimmy works for the Garadinos. He's always been a low level player trying to make it big without the competence to back up his ambitions. He owes one of his men a substantial amount due to a gambling debt and now he's trying to squeeze his family for help. He's a lowlife who consistently overestimate himself, repeatedly screwing up and that's why he was no longer a part of his organization. Enzo kicked him out when he became a liability. Enzo consider his next step, helping Mandy would undermine the Garadinos indirectly. Removing their allies, even the less competent ones would weaken their influences, and by addressing Jimmy's gambling debt he'd be reinforcing his own organization's strength, eliminating internal weaknesses. But beyond the strategic implications there's something about Mandy that intrigues him. Mandy's situation aligns with his interests and her plea for help provides an unexpected opportunity. He was faced with a tough decision and have to carefully decide on how to proceed, balancing his goals with the potential to assist a woman who is worth more than a passing glance.
Enzo text Mandy and asked her how he could help her as they texted back and forth the text got steamy with Enzo asking for a picture of her body. Mandy was shy but also excited that he was interested in her and when he told her to play with herself she tells him that she didn't know how. He asked if she was a virgin when she replied yes their whole dynamics immediately shifted he wanted her address. Enzo went over there and the two had sex and everything thing changed after that. He gave her the money but Mandy didn't give her father but gave some to her mother to pay the mortgage, because they were on the verge of losing the house and being homeless something that Jimmy doesn't care about because any money he gets he gamble and drink it out. The two couldn't stop thinking about each other and from there they started a secret relationship filled with nights of passion and new experiences for Mandy. Mandy is happy in her new relationship but when Jimmy becomes more unstable and hits her and her mom she knows that they had to leave. She calls Enzo for help and he told her to go to his house and stay in the club house. She found out that she was pregnant but decided to keep it from Enzo in fear for her child's life because of him being a mob boss.
Her mother was finally happy being away from Jimmy. But when Mandy overheard a conversation with Enzo and one of his men telling him to use her and her mother as bait to flush out Jimmy Mandy was hurt and mad and immediately moved out of Enzo's house which puts her directly in danger and right into Jimmy's hand who kidnap her. He did it for Garadino who wanted to negotiate with Enzo. But Garadino doesn't involved children and family into mob war and was pissed at Jimmy because now he has become a liability to him. Enzo was enraged when he heard that Jimmy had kidnap his woman and decided to end him once and for all. Mandy couldn't believe that her dad would do something like this and even when she told him that she was pregnant he was cold and calculated and wanted even more money. Enzo killed him and got the love of his life back. He even gave up the mob for his family because he didn't really needed it because he had enough legimate money to last him a lifetime. They had their twins and later Mandy got her gym that she always wanted. I'll leave you here.

Very Good

**SPOILERS**

Mandy is in a bind. Her deadbeat dad has lost a lot of money and is squeezing her for more. He suggests that she cozy up to Enzo Martelli a well known mafia Don. Mandy is horrified and tells her father no in no uncertain terms but one look at Enzo and her tune changes. He’s hot. Older. Hot. And dangerous. She decides to slip him a not asking him for help. She tells him about her deadbeat dad Jimmy and asks for his help.

Enzo is beguiled by the pretty young Mandy and texts her asking her what she wants from him. He knows about Jimmy because Jimmy owes money to one of his men thus Jimmy owes him money. He’s not surprised when Mandy answers back but he is surprised when their texts take a sexy turn. Mandy and Enzo sext back and forth until Mandy reveals she’s a virgin and Enzo can’t stay away any longer. They begin to hook up and as Mandy delves deeper into Enzo’s “lifestyle” she gets caught up in a complex web of “family” loyalty and the mafias narrative. Mandy discovers she’s pregnant with Enzo’s baby and decides to keep her secret…for now, she’s hesitant to let Enzo know because although she’s fallen for him she doesn’t know if 1. She wants to live in Enzo’s world, and 2. If she completely trusts Enzo (after overhearing a conversation that made her doubt Enzo’s motives for keeping her close. Jimmy becomes desperate since Mandy and her mother moved out and separated themselves from him no longer giving him any leverage or money. He kidnaps Mandy to “force” a ransom but he’s way over his head. There is no way Enzo is letting a low life Jimmy get away with kidnapping his girl. Enzo teams up with another mafia Don to take Jimmy down and in an explosive shootout Jimmy is killed, Mandy is rescued and the news of her pregnancy is revealed. The other mafia Don puts out a proposal to “buy out” Enzo’s territory so that Enzo can go “legit” and live a life free from the seedy aspects of the Mafia. The book concludes with Mandy and Enzo living the high life in Malibu with their twins and Mandy’s mom living in their guesthouse. A lovely HEA.

**THOUGHTS**

This was a really good mafia, age gap, romance. Mandy was a spitfire, and Enzo was the dominant older Mafia Don. KC Crowne writes a solid exciting but pretty low angst mafia romance with likable main characters and just enough drama to keep the readers attention. Although the book of fairly predictable as long as the reader knows to expect a pretty straightforward standalone low angst mafia romance they’ll be happy with this book. KC Crowne is known for her “no nonsense” age gap romances that are solidly written but aren’t dark romances by any stretch. They all conclude with HEA and leave the reader feeling “happy” and content.

Review: Sexting the Don by K.C. Crowne

From the moment I started reading Sexting the Don, I couldn’t get enough of Enzo and Mandy. Their chemistry practically leaps off the page, and the storyline had me hooked from the very first chapter. Unlike many other mafia romance novels, this one isn’t predictable — the plot is fresh and unique, which I really appreciate.

As much as I enjoyed the book, though, I felt that certain elements were underdeveloped. The connection between the characters, while strong in some ways, lacked the intensity and “toxic dominance” that’s often present in mafia romances. Enzo is clearly dominant, but he’s also extremely respectful — especially regarding Mandy’s virginity. While that’s admirable and refreshing, it doesn’t fully match the darker, possessive tone that the book’s description seemed to promise. I expected more of that raw, masculine energy typical of this genre.

Another area that felt lacking was Mandy’s role in the power dynamic. In many mafia romances, the female lead pushes back, challenges the hero, and fuels the push-and-pull tension that makes these stories so addictive. With Mandy, however, there was little defiance or rebellion, which softened the intensity of their relationship.

The age-gap element was also underplayed. Enzo is significantly older than Mandy, but this dynamic wasn’t really highlighted in their interactions. Instead, their relationship often felt like they were closer in age, which took away from the unique appeal of an age-gap romance. I would have loved to see more of that theme explored — the playful teasing, the clash between youth and experience, the reminders of their differences.

When I first picked up the book, I was instantly drawn in. It built suspense beautifully, and the beginning was gripping and hard to put down. However, as the story progressed, I felt the momentum slipped. What started as an addictive, intriguing read became a bit harder to push through toward the middle. That loss of pace made me miss the energy the story had in its opening chapters.

That being said, I still enjoyed Sexting the Don. The premise is creative, the beginning is strong, and it’s certainly not as predictable as other books in this genre. But for me, it missed some of the darker, more dominant elements that usually give mafia romances their edge. If you’re looking for a softer take on the theme — with more respect and sweetness than raw intensity — then this is a book you’ll enjoy.

You might want to make sure to double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love along the way. Mandy is a sweetheart really loves her mom really doesn’t have much to do with her father he ruined their relationship going after every get rich scheme leaving them dire needs her picking up the pieces and now, he has returned wanting her to go after one her wealthy customers her mother is at risk, so she has no choice but to help. Enzo sexy as all get out Don isn’t a man you want on your radar, he isn’t a nice man deadly when needed but he gets a strange note deciding to text the number not really knowing what to expect but the women on the other end has this pull although, he learns her father is tied to his enemy so keeping an eye on him has become his goal. When Mandy finds out just how far her father is involved, she knows they aren’t safe, but she also does not know how to make them safe, so she reaches out to the only person she knows who can keep them safe is her text boyfriend. Enzo already knows what kind of father she has he is out for himself; he will sell anything and anyone if it benefits him so protecting her is his goal but will he be there when her father come for them, does he do the unthinkable sell her to settle his debt or get into something that requires her services in some form or fashion, will he be willing to take care of her mom as well, will her father get what he deserves, and will there be happiness along with a little peace for her?

Mandy’s father Jimmy is a low level mobster who loves to gamble and drink. He constantly berates Mandy and her mother and never has the money for the mortgage. He needs money fast for the loan shark and tells Mandy to cozy up to Enzo Martelli, head of the Martelli family and get him to help get the loan shark to back off since he comes into the restaurant Mandy works at every Thursday. Mandy is livid that he could be suggesting selling herself to Enzo but he says he just wants her to flirt if it doesn’t work then do what she needs to. She decides to slip Enzo a note asking for help and to please call her. Since he was instantly attracted to her at the restaurant he texts her asking what she reached out for. This quickly evolves to sexting then to seeing each other regularly. There is another family moving on the Martelli territory and Jimmy is trying to play both sides. Jimmy’s desperation for money puts Mandy and her mother in danger and Enzo offers them his guest house to keep them safe. Mandy is stubborn and independent so she’s torn between moving out with her mother on their own and staying with Enzo. Jimmy is more dangerous than they give him credit for putting everything important to Enzo in jeopardy.

Mandy has a strained relationship with her father Jimmy. She lost respect for him as she grew. He has left their family to struggle, always chasing the new best scheme, which never turns out as he expects. Now he's gotten into another predicament and wants Mandy to help him. One of her wealthy customers is who he has his sights on and Mandy to make her move. For her mother's sake, she helps him.

Enzo finds a strange note left for him. When he texts the number, he gets more than he bargained for. He wants what he sees and goes after it. But he soon realises that Mandy has a pull on him. He can't get her out of his thoughts. He is drawn to this person. But her father has ties to a rival, Garadino, so he needs to keep an eye on him.

Mandy can't believe how far her father has fallen and she needs to get herself and her mother Florence to safety, Enzo is the only person she knows who may be able to help her.

Mandy is shocked at the lengths her father will go to, what he will do for his self-interest, and who he will hurt to get there. But Enzo will never let anyone hurt her because Mandy is his.

[Adrienne · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. I did like the premise of this one but it fell a little flat for me, I think because the whole thing felt rushed. I did like both FMC Mandy and MMC Enzo for the most part, but the way that they met, the reasons behind it, and then their fast connection were not super believable.

The guy who ended up being the villain in this also did not make a lot of sense as to how he became such a threat and even why he did. Some of the dialogue was also cringe, the texting was boring, and I thought the steamy scenes were repetitive.

As I said, I did basically like the main characters and I like how they developed real feelings. It just seemed rushed. I did like how kind and protective Enzo was over her mother and not holding her husband’s actions against her. I did appreciate the epilogues but even parts of that did not sit right with me.

I also was not getting strong mob boss/don vibes from Enzo - the mafia part of things just wasn’t there. I get that he was becoming more of a legitimate business man but I don’t know, it was not what I look for with mafia based stories.

Mandy has always had to be a strong woman.

A father who is weak and greedy, often putting his family at risk. Her mother's weakness is simply a devotion to a husband that never considers her needs. Her father's latest foolishness has him borrowing money from loan sharks, and expecting his daughter to make an offer to a mafia don to gain funds to cover his loans.... To keep him from being beaten or killed because of nonpayment.

Her original refusal is taken from her when she learns their home will be lost in the process. Putting her mother on the street. She can take care of herself, but won't allow her mother to suffer even more than she already has.

Rather than offer 'herself' she leaves the dangerous man a note asking for his help. As her father spirals out of control, both with his family and the local organized crime, Mandy finds herself in the middle of absolute chaos.

My only negative is a frequent use of the phrase 'driving me wild'. A lot of writers recently have overused that phrase making some monuments predictable. Four times in as many pages is excessive. Still a very good story... I will read it again.

[Naughty Nightie · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 1/2 Star Review. Mandy has a strained relationship bordering on abusive with ‘Jimmy’ who is her father. But she cant call him Dad due to their relationship she thinks of him only as a ‘sperm donor.’ She also has to look out for her mom since she cops her father’s abuse especially when he’s been drinking. Now Jimmy has got himself into strife and is looking to Mandy and her mom to get him out. Mandy finds herself slipping Enzo a note one night when he appears at the bar where she works. Mandy didn't expect to hear from Enzo but he is intrigued by her note and they begin texting that night. One thing leads to another and then disaster strikes. Will this strengthen or weaken their relationship. The story does get off to a slow start but when the twists and turns come into play you keep turning the pages to see what will happen.
I received an arc for my voluntary honest review for NN Book Blog. If you love a sweet steamy daddy romance with some mafia connections you will like this book. There may be some triggers for people so this book may not be for everyone.

Sexting the Don is most certainly suspenseful and is definitely a page turning age gap mafia romance. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading this breathtaking mafia romance. I thought this book to be absolutely captivating from start to finish and I didn’t set it down until I read the last page. Sexting the Don follows the adventures of Enzo and Mandy. I adored getting to know both Enzo and Mandy as well as seeing their story unfolding throughout the pages of the book. The characters are well developed and beautifully executed throughout the story. The chemistry between Amelia and Enzo is undeniably irresistible to the point where neither one of them could no longer ignore the feelings they have for one another. I love that Amelia and Enzo have a happily ever after with them being happy together as a couple. Sexting the Don is definitely a mafia romance book that I would give as a recommendation to anyone who is looking for a new mafia romance book to read.

Years in the mafia hardened me. Made me untouchable. Until her. Mandy—a waitress with curves that could bring a man to his knees, And a fire in her eyes that sparks something primal in me. She’s in over her head, tangled in a mess she can’t escape. She wants my help. But nothing in my world comes for free. Our texts grow hotter, darker, more daring by the day. The problem? She doesn’t know the rules of this game. I don’t take— I claim. I’ll make her tremble with desire. Make her mine .The vultures are circling, waiting to tear her apart. But this is my kingdom. And I’ll burn this city to the ground before I let anyone get near her... Or the baby inside her.

The book was fantastic from the beginning to end and kept me on the edge of my seat. Mandy and Enzo were amazingly put together and you could certainly sense the chemistry from the pair of them. The personalities of both made the book a fabulous read. This is the first time I had heard of K. C Crowne but wow what an author they are.

Jimmy, who is my father, came to see me at my place of work. He wanted my help to get some money to pay his debt to the mafia. Enzo, the Don of the mafia was currently eating at the restaurant. I went over to flirt a little with him and see what he might do. As the meal was ending, I left him a note with my name, Mandy and my number in a plain envelope and we would see what happened. When Enzo found out I was Jimmy’s daughter he became even more interested. He was concerned about my life. He knew Jimmy didn’t have the money and Jimmy was always screwing up so there was bound to be trouble. Enzo was so handsome, kindhearted, sexy and oh so hot. When he rescued my mom and me and we stayed with him he was so loving. I just didn’t know what we were doing or where we were going. Suspenseful, daring, death and so much more. Beautiful love story. Characters were strong and took charge. Fantastic read!.

The Blurb says: "But this is my kingdom. And I’ll burn this city to the ground before I let anyone get near her... Or the baby inside her." Okay so... you spoil the pregnancy? but the pregnancy is first mentioned on page 127... and he, and mind you the blurb says he will protect the baby inside her, he learns about the pregnancy at the end of the book... BIG SPOILER, IDIOT.... OMG.....

The second freakin' annoying thing is that the age gap is not mentioned one single freakin' time!!!

Someone else mentioned that it seems like it's AI generated. I can neither confirm or debumk it, but the book is so bad and boring it wouldn't surprise me...

I didn't even get the feeling that he was a part of the mafia. he didn't have any people around him all the time for protection, which a guy like him surely would have. Not even his so called fortress had guards or anything...

Lastly... SO MANY FREAKIN' TYPOS!!!!!

Great story.

I really liked this story it was sweet, sassy, steamy & a bit emotional at times. Enzo although part of the Mafia wasn't as bad as I expected & you could see he really cared for Mandy which was a strange feeling for him. The only good thing her dirty bag so called dad Jimmy did for her was that by getting her involved with Enzo to extort money from him she found herself the love of her life. She was a strong & determined to not letting Jimmy hurt her or her mother by standing up to him but greed had turned him into a monster who resorted to kidnapping.
I loved that she had her client Nat to confide in & how great friends they became & how even though she didn't know how complicated Mandy's life was she was there for her.

9nce you start reading this you won't want to put it down.

Age gap/ mafia romance/ virgin FMC/ miscommunication trope/ pregnancy/ BDSM/ HEA

Trigger warning: abuse/ violence/ death/ murder/ abduction/ gun use

This book was just ok. The miscommunication trope is very rarely done well in my opinion and this fell a bit short. Same for the pregnancy plot. I’m sorry but if you’re having a bunch of unprotected sex with someone, odds are, you’re going to get pregnant. You mean to tell me neither of the MCs thought to have a discussion about birth control? I get that the FMC was a virgin when they got together but that’s not really a valid excuse. Not to mention the MMC was older and more experienced so he should have thought about the repercussions of their actions. It just seemed irresponsible and unrealistic.

Also, I’m glad Jimmy died. He was the worst.

An auspicious beginning for Enzo and Mandy

This is another book I the Silver Fox daddies. This features a beautiful young woman Mandy who is working two jobs trying to help her mom, Florence, support themselves and her father Jimmy. One day Jimmy goes to Mandy’s waitressing job and demands she help him pay his gambling debts. At first Mandy refuses but then Mandy knows that this will affect her mom too. Mandy writes Enzo a note, more of a request for his help. It is definitely an entertaining story. Some of the things that happened are outrageous and unbelievable. You know like how can you have two guards on you and they don’t see or know anything? Well, this is a mafia lite story and to suspend reality for a bit, and just enjoy the book as entertainment. Yes, there is a happy ending. Read On!

Sexting the Don

K.C delivered a well and interesting story, I couldn't put the book down. I read it in one day, I loved the attraction on the first interaction. The way a father use his daughter to cover his debt by having her sleep with mob boss to get him to give give her money. Then after she's accomplish it he then call her names and tell her to get him more money. I loved how they fell in love and became her protector. Her father was a piece of work to use her as bait to get more money and threaten to kill her even after learning he was to be a grandfather. He got what he deserved for his actions. I applause how her mom finally got the nerves to leave after hitting her and their daughter. I was glad she got a backbone. Keep up on your writing. I can't wait for the next series, I read all of this series.

Mandy, aspiring fitness trainer to the rich and famous of LA, is set up by her father Jimmy to approach Enzo, an LA mob boss, for money to get him out of his debt.
While working as a server at La Serena, the new hot restaurant in L.A., she slips him a note and they start exchanging messages which lead to more …
The plot of this book is totally catching, there’s instant chemistry between the two main characters that is white hot!
But - there are enough ups ad downs and twists in the storyline to keep readers on their feet thanks to the warped mind of Jimmy who has his own plan for the two main characters …
I very much enjoyed this book - grab it, it’s a blast!.

Mandy's lazy, gangster wannabe father. Jimmy, tries to get her to get money from Mafia Don Enzo any way she can. One look at the Don makes her interested in the older man, but not to help her father, rather to help get herself and her mom away from Jimmy. Enzo is fascinated by Mandy and her determination to live her life on her own terms. They start a relationship. But can Mandy and her mom get shut of Jimmy's increasingly violent demands?

I liked this spicy, action packed Mafia story. Mandy is hardworking and independent, trying her best to help her mom. Enzo wants to protect the women, doing his best to not get his heart involved, but Mandy is hard for him to resist. Expect a HEA.

The author, Ms. Crowne one of my favorite’s, has given us an older man/younger woman story that immerses us in the journey of Enzo and Mandy’s story and is such a great addition to the "Silver Fox Daddies" series. Grabs ahold and does not let go until you get to the end and you heave that heavy sigh and say “whoa, good book!” The story keeps us turning pages as fast as we can absorb the words. A story with hot characters, a sassy extremely strong willed and stubborn female, off the charts Red Hot Steamy chemistry with pages full of anger, danger, angst, anxiety, romance, kidnapping, mafia justice, betrayal. If you enjoy this genre’ you will enjoy this story. A must read. I highly recommend. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Mandy and Enzo story start with her father Jimmy being in trouble yet again and this time they could loose their home.
He had gambled all the money her mother and Mandy had but didn't even leave anything for the mortgage.
Jimmy's plan was for Mandy to go to a mafia Don for money, Enzo Martelli and get money no matter how.
When Enzo gives some money he would only give her money for the mortgage, nothing for Jimmy.
Jimmy was desperate he stole the money and turned on his wife and Mandy wanting more or else.
He his now a really desperate man and now he has Enzo hot on his tail.
I have read all from this author and this mafia is missing a bit of a bite, but still really enjoyable.

These two were a fantastic couple with sparkling chemistry and no end of drama.

Mandy had a father always in trouble from unscrupulous deeds and wants her to seduce Mafia Don Enzo for money.

I liked the slow build of the relationship. They had the passion and connection to pull this off. Enzo wasn't the brutal Mafia Don like in usual Mafia themed books but that didn't matter. He was still strong, protective and possessive.

Mandy was very much the Protector in the family but eventually she'd had enough.

Very well done. I enjoyed the whole dynamic of the book. Great work!.

Love Changes Everything -
Wow! I spent my Saturday afternoon curled up in bed reading this book and I was glad I switched off my phone and wore headphones. I found myself glued to the pages of this fantastic story and unable to stop reading, until I reached the end. The storyline had the perfect amount of angst, suspense, romance, yummy steaminess and action-packed moments, combined with the perfect heartthrob hero, that made it a worthwhile reading experience. I highly recommend you add this book to your must read list now.

Mandy has two jobs just trying to keep ahead and helping her parents as well but her father Jimmy has gotten in deep with some dangerous people and he owes them a lot of money. He wants Mandy to do things no father would ask his child to do but she decides to help him by asking Enzo who is in organized crime to help but they end up getting too involved. Now that her father is in trouble that means she and her mother are in trouble but she does not know who can save them now plus the secret she is keeping. Great book.
