Ruthless Mafia Boss 3: Vino and Claire
One glance at the woman in that video, and my life was forever changed.
She’s a fashion designer. Her growth in the fashion industry is important to her.
The spark in her eyes tells me she’s a fighter. That sharp tongue of hers backs up my suspicions.
Fashion designer Claire Ainsley doesn’t date.
She damn sure doesn’t believe in love.
She’s got a secret and so do I.
My unconventional way of making her my wife and Donna of my family may cause those around me to look at me sideways.
Especially since I’m at war with a New York crime family who’s coming after the Romano crime family's New Jersey territory.
I’ve implanted myself in Claire’s in more ways than one.
Her past makes it difficult to create a future.
My possessive obsessive self knows no boundaries and will drag her to the altar kicking and screaming if I have to.
She’s mine.
She may be broken now but not for long.
She’ll be powerful.
And together we’ll make those from her past pay.

She finally came out of her shell
Ivan really messed up Claire's head about love and men. He really screwed her up when she found out he was inheriting his position as head of the Bratva with an included arranged marriage. He became someone she did not know.
Vino didn't help matters with his dual personas. But, Claire realized his actions were out of love, but she loved both of his personalities. I think what helped her was the visit she got from the mob wives. That sealed Ivan and Polina's fate.
Vino and Claire for their wish for an HEA as well as a reunited family.

there are moments as a reader that will stick with you..
And getting drunk, puking while naked and then farting and going to the bathroom in front of the obsessed mafia boss? Oh yeah that’s one I never saw coming. I’ve never wanted to die of embarrassment for an fmc like I did for Claire.

Enjoyable
Claire has become this independent, fierce woman due to past trauma, then in walks a possessive, obsessive alpha name Vincenzo aka Vino, aka Angelo and you know trouble has arrived
Great read, the storyline was written as real as possible, with enough sexy and vengeance mix together lol

I Loved Vino and Claire
Their meeting got off to a sexy start since Claire was not wanting to commit to anyone because of the way Ivan treated her. Thei love story was beautifully told even with the bumps in the road. I hope there’s another book about their relationship journey and life with their family in the future.

So Magnificent
I must say this is a double WOW and it's absolutely awesome. This is a marvelous story that's full of action vengeance and suspense. I really LOVED reading Claire and Vino story they are absolutely FANTASTIC together. I really enjoyed the loyalty and togetherness of this couple. Plus when you put together all the drama and their emotions which makes for intriguing and captivating chapters. It also makes this a extraordinary story which is well written and so enjoyable because every moment gives you a pleasurable experience. Claire is a woman whose independent spirit has been damaged but not broken but she thinks it is. Vino is handsome charming and possessive mafia boss that feels he's not ready to settle down but when he gets a peek of Claire he knows they are meant to be forever. Their problems maybe many and full of violence, they still grow to love each other. I really love the secondary characters also they are compelling and supporting even their enemies will pull you in the story and keeps you turning pages until the end. I absolutely love reading Posey Park books they are all awesome. So let the vengeance and love began along with the suspense. This relationship has loads of drama, passion and secrets but Vino has made a commitment to always protect and take care of Claire with passion that's so fantastic and sizzling hot. Oh my I really found this to be a truly awesome experience. Now if you enjoy a story that is captivating with awesome characters that has great chemistry with a mafia vibe that's thrilling and full of romance that will have you crying and laughing because their humor is definitely wicked and magnificent plus these characters had me talking out loud to them But don't forget that even the secondary characters are some of the best characters to read.There is only one thing that I wanted more of and that is for this story to continue. WOW this was a story that I couldn't put my reader down even to fan myself and believe me its hot. I know that I will be reading this a second and third time plus I can't hardly wait until I get to read another story with these awesome characters. This will be Happy Reading because I know you will enjoy every page of this story and all of the other stories in this series.

Vino and Claire’s love story!
Vino claimed Claire as his just from seeing her in a video. Upon meeting her in person, he said to her, “you’ve been mine since the first time I laid eyes on you.” Claire was determined never to fall in love again. Vino was determined she was the woman for him, his wife.
Claire and Vino had a sexy and intriguing relationship from the beginning. They both kept their true identity secret from each other, especially Vino ( Mr. Liar, Mr. Secret Life, Mr. Two Identities.) As their relationship evolved, Claire realized that she had found a second chance at love.
Her fiercely devoted man would do anything for her even if it meant burning down the world. Vino went to great lengths to show her how she should be loved.
The climax of this story is the trip to Russia. The book is worth reading just for those chapters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful
Loved this book. Book 3 was just as wonderful as the previous books. I love the fact that Vino would burn the world down to prove how much he loved Claire. I also love the fact that no matter what he would not let Claire get away from him and he will show her how says he was with her and how different his love for her was then her previous relationship. I also love how he gave Claire the courage to confront her past and to stand up to those from her past. He showed her what true love was, and how a real man is supposed to love her. This is a truly great love story.

DNF 45%
This just wasn’t for me. The story idea was fine the writing is what I couldn’t get past.
Missing words, poorly written and confusing sentences, time jumps and missing parts of scenes. (For instance they are having a normal conversation nothing even spicy and all the sudden the fmc is coming and they jump into a smut moment.)
And that btw was the end for me. I just can’t. Be realistic in some ways, work on writing, sentence structure and description.
Writing is hard. Writing a book isn’t easy I understand that but this felt like middle schoolers first attempt at fiction.

I always love reading Posey books!
I always love reading A Parks book they be so fun to read because I never k ow what her characters will do next like Vino was running around pretending to be another guy when he was the other guy it was funny but a little scary because he not joking when he said he would just anything to get his woman. But I love that he treat her well and just wanted to see her happy with himself. It was a good book. As always I enjoy her books. Looking forward to the next story.

Vino and Claire
When Vino sees something he wants he goes after it with passion and possessiveness ..Claire is afraid of relationships she was once fooled by love and betrayed she only wants to be intimate with no strings attached…In walks Vino he looks like a model but he is way more than that he is actually the person who can protect and provide in a deadly fashion.. Claire dreams have come true she is a up and coming Designer but she is still hiding lots of secrets..

claire’s mentality was “i’ll use you for sex but that’s it. i don’t date and nothing will be exclusive” and Vino is like “yeah, okay. you’re going to be my wife and i don’t share”
i really didn’t care for this 🥴 i love a red flag in an MMC normally but there was just something i didn’t like about Vino.. and he had a large collection of red flags
-mafia romance
-fashion designer FMC
-age gap, 7 years
-masked man/hidden identity
-boy obsessed

Excellent
I really tried not to read this book too fast, but I failed. Vino and Claire have become one of my favorite couples. There were times when I thought Vino went too far but it worked out. One of the funniest parts I enjoyed is when Vino accidentally wet Claire's hair. Great job Posey!

I loved this book the best out of the 3 in the Series. Posey Parks saved the best for last! Vino (aka Angelo) and Claire, best couple ever! Vino stood by and stud up for Claire. Surprised that Vino held it together when Claire gave him a taste of his own medicine. Ivan and Polina got exactly what they deserved. HEA 🥰🥰

damn
Posey parks did her thing as usual. Not surprising at all. Absolutely love the characters and the storyline. I also love when she links the characters to the other characters from all her other books that I love. This was just overall beautiful story about love, passion and of course it’s a mafia book so lots of killing.
lol loved it

Ruthless Mafia Boss 3 Vincenzo n Claire
The two main characters are both very similar. One is strong while the other doesn’t realize the strength they have. I love Claire’s best friend…kinda reminds of someone. With all the excitement in this story, it is hard to put down.

DNF. The writing is so disjointed

I saw a reviewer from another platform ask if this was written in AI. Now I am wondering myself.
PS Was the farting and pooping scene really necessary?
