Whew. Mafia Boss' Surprise Baby by Natasha L. Black came in hot like a shot of whiskey on an empty stomach—burning all the way down and leaving me absolutely breathless.
Let me just say this: I love a dangerous man with a velvet snarl and a jawline that could slice through glass. Mickey O’Halloran? Yeah… he’s that and so much more. Irish mob royalty with ice in his veins and fire in his gaze—and I, like the poor heroine of this story, stood no chance.
I slipped into this book thinking I was just signing up for a bit of forbidden workplace tension (which I live for), but oh no… what I got was a full-on emotional mafia rollercoaster. Mickey isn’t just the brooding boss with a body made for sin—he’s lethal, possessive, and so devastatingly loyal that you forget he could just as easily snap a man’s neck as he could whisper something dirty in your ear. And don’t even get me started on how he handles surprise baby news—I legit melted.
The heroine? I saw myself in her. Smart, grounded, and trying to survive in a world where one wrong move could cost her everything. Her inner strength and vulnerability were so relatable, especially as she navigated the wildest "oh-no-I-slept-with-my-mafia-boss-and-now-I’m-pregnant" plot I’ve read in a while—and trust me, I’ve read a lot of those.
There was heat (obviously), but Natasha L. Black brought heart too. And stakes. Real ones. The kind where you clutch your Kindle and whisper, don’t do it, girl… okay do it, but RUN!
Bottom line? If you love dangerous men who go soft for one woman (and maybe their baby), protective mafia drama, and a heroine who doesn’t just survive but thrives, then this story is calling your name. Just don’t be surprised if Mickey O’Halloran ruins all other fictional men for you.
Rory and Micky have been lifelong friends. Micky is the head of the Irish Mafia and Rory is his right-hand man. When Rory’s younger sister, Katie, comes home everything will change. She had lived and went to college in California and could not find a steady job while completing her CPA courses and tests. So, that is what she comes home to do.
Micky hires her for his legitimate businesses and promised Rory no funny business of any kind. Micky is 15 years older than her. When the two finally admit they cannot stay away from one another, a wonderful romance begins. When she decides he cannot give her what she needs and wants long-term, she ends it. She is now working in areas that her brother did not want, filling in for the normal accountant until he can return.
There is so much more to Micky than just running a cartel. He gives away lots of money to charities and programs to help the needy, kids, homeless, and battered women, and hospitals, and etc. She is in love with him but knows there is no permanent future with how dangerous things are. She is currently trying to find the culprit who has betrayed Micky by doing things he does not approve of.
When she discovers she is pregnant, she has no clue how to tell Micky. Then, her brother discovers where she is working and the two of them have been together; he is furious. Micky is miserable without her; he wants her back. Will she tell him about the baby? Will she pass her CPA tests? Will they find out who the betrayer is? Will they get back together? What exactly will her brother do? Just how dangerous will life become? Find out the answers and more by reading this book!
Finally Living out Her Fantasies - The last like Micky saw Kate he saw her as his best friend’s little sister, but everything changed when she returned after completing her education and she started working for him. Kate had been crushing on Micky for years, but she thought she could hold herself back whilst working closely with him. Nevertheless, Micky and Kate grew closer the more time they spent together and their attraction for each other led to them embarking on a secret relationship.
Unfortunately, Micky and Kate’s happiness was disrupted when an incident occurred that scared her enough to make her walk away. However, Kate soon discovered her life was about to change and that she was in love with Micky, but her stubborn didn’t allow her to tell him. Luckily, Kate’s brother managed to get her to open up about everything, which led to him being the catalyst to bringing her and Micky back together, so they could get the happily ever after they deserved.
I loved reading this fantastic romance story, that took me on one heck a rollercoaster ride, but my enjoyment of each page turn was really worth the time spent reading the book. I highly recommend this book as your next weekend reading.

It was just supposed to be temporary...until the lock clicked tight
Mafia Boss' Surprise Baby is the third book in the Sinful Mafia Daddies series. The story finds Katie coming back to Boston from her life in L.A. She is in debt and now living with her older brother, Rory, who is the second in command of the O'Halloran Irish Mafia family. She needs a job quickly and also studying to take her CPA exam. So Rory talks his boss and friend, Mickey, into giving her an interview and hopefully a job. Mickey takes one look at her and offers her a temporary job working in his legal businesses, filling in for his forensic accountant who had a heart attack. This puts the two of them in the position of having to work closely together, and that leads to some other after hours working out. With an unexpected pregnancy and danger all around Katie finds herself in a spot of trouble, and not sure how to get out. But Mickey knows she is not getting away from him, and the baby she carries is the lock on that deal.
Mickey is a mafia boss, 15 years older than Katie, and her brother's best friend. Katie has failed to find a job in LA after getting her masters degree and has returned home to Boston to take her CPA exams. Mickey is floored by the adult Katie but knows they can't have a future together. She is still nursing her teenage crush.
For a mafia boss, Mickey is kind-hearted between punishing drug dealers. It's an odd mix that works, knowing he could kill a bad guy then turn around and donate money to a food bank. Katie is a strong woman who knows she loves Mickey and also knows she can't handle the danger in his life. When she tells him they can't be together she stays true to that and doesn't cave in even though she is miserable.
This story has passion, angst, danger and love all rolled up in an enjoyable bundle. They get their HEA and it made me smile.
I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.
Katie returns to Boston frustrated and defeated. Her brother Rory, second-in-command of the O'Halloran Irish mafia, convinces the boss, Mickey, to give her a job in their legitimate businesses. Katie, skilled with numbers and studying for her CPA, impresses Mickey during her interview. He’s struck by how much she’s grown and can’t stop thinking about her. When the lead forensic accountant suffers a heart attack, Mickey chooses Katie to fill in, as she outshines the current candidate being groomed for the role. Katie has had a crush on Mickey since childhood, and their mutual attraction grows. However, Katie plans to return to LA after passing her CPA exams, uninterested in staying in the mafia’s world. Will their chemistry lead to a lasting romance, or will their conflicting goals tear them apart? This mafia romance is engaging and heartfelt.

Nobody writes dark and steamy mafia romance better than Natasha Black. Mafia Boss' Surprise Baby had reading to the very last page,. Mickey head of the Irish Organization in Boston and he agrees to give his best friend's little sister Kate a job working for one of his legitimate businesses. Kate feels like a failure after having to return to Boston but she is grateful to be home with her brother. Mickey knows he's in a dangerous position with the intense attraction he has to the very grown up Kate. And Kate's teen-age crush on Mickey comes back even stronger then before. Definitely recommend this page turner.

Mafia Boss’s Surprise Baby by Natasha L. Black is the tender story of Mickey and Katie. She’s back home…tail between her legs…things didn’t go as planned. Her brother set her up with a job with his best friend Mickey.
There’s someone infiltrating his business, and he can never have that. So, he will find the culprit and make sure s/he pays the price for it. But, it puts them both in danger. Really enjoyed this story and Mickey’s denial of his growing feelings. Katie is intent on completing her tests and heading back to California. But, you know…the best laid plans….
Great story. Romantic, a little suspense and danger and very dramatic.
New Accountant Kate moves back to town and starts working for mob boss Mickey.
Both full on attracted to each other from the first time they see each other again. Getting her to work for him, only adds to the attraction as she helps him as well.
Great chemistry, a fantastic plot and wonderful characters make this a great read.!.

Mickey may be an Irish mafia boss and her new boss, but Katie still knows him as her older brother's best friend who she grew up with. A steamy dark-ish romance with violence, drama and a man obsessed with a woman who should be untouchable.

I really enjoyed Mick's character he was living in a lonely hard world and needed someone to love and care for him. I could truly feel how much he cared for Kate when she was hurt. He was there for her and helped support her when her brother found out about their relationship.
