Big Trouble in a Little Mafia
Not yet published
Expected 31 Jul 26A sexy, dark romantic comedy with violent shenanigans and a dangerous game of love and lust.
After years of dedicating my life to a thankless job, I’m over Corporate America. I’ve endured enough—employees who only cared about my snacks and stress hemorrhoids—and I deserve a summer getaway to turn forty in sunshine.
Not a syringe to the neck.
The random housesitting opportunity I found is a reminder that “too good to be true” comes with a price.
I never planned to get kidnapped in my bonnet, but what’s an unemployed HR manager to do when two doses of mistaken identity land me in a crime boss’s bed? A fine crime boss with an attitude and a ceiling mirror. I do what anyone would do: turn my lemons into seltz limone e sale and make him pay…literally. I’m enjoying my vacation one way or another, the threat of war with one of Sicily’s biggest mafias be damned.
Big Trouble in a Little Mafia is a standalone dark mafia rom-com about a fed-up heroine and a morally grey cinnamon roll hero with a kill container and a love language of cooking. Deception, secret identities, and a voluntold marriage of convenience weave together in picturesque scenes and a pleasure club for an unexpected happily-ever-after. There’s some unaliving, but we make it funny (and put dogs in bulletproof vests).

thank you Tanvier for this arc. This dark mafia rom-com was so good, i really enjoyed reading this and was kicking my feet laughing.
imagine getting kidnapped for mistaken identity and you end up beating at the security guards asses 😂. benny didn’t know whether to be mad or impressed that bianca got the best of his men.
watching benny and bianca fall in love was so cute. she was exactly what he needed which was someone who didn’t fear him, see’s and loves all of him, is strong, pushes him to do and be better, challenges him, can stand beside him.
i love the family in this book. vince and stephanie ain’t play about bianca at all. vince may not have been bianca biological dad but he was still her dad nonetheless

THIS WAS SO GOOD.
If you love dark rom coms and mafia men- this will be a read for you. I giggled, swooned and everything in between. This is for the boss girlies in burnout from your job... SO good.
If this BETA was a true rough draft - I can't wait to read the final version. This may be my new favorite book from Tanvier!

I had the pleasure of being a beta reader for this book and when I tell you I can’t stop laughing. This book is so funny, if you’ve read any of Tanvier’s other books you know how funny she is unintentionally. This is a rom com so it’s definitely kicked up a notch.

Wow! Imagine getting kidnapped while on vacation in Italy and falling in love with your captor. This was hilarious, action-packed, and full of surprises. One thing I can say about this author is that she immediately knows how to hook you into the story with her humor. Thank you to Tanvier Peart for this ARC!

Bianca just wanted to getaway. She wasn’t living and just going through the motions. Naples is where she found herself. She found a place to housesit and was living her best life! Until she knocked unconscious. When she woke she found herself on silk sheets with a leather headboard. Soon she encounters Salvatore Bennici. He flipped her world upside down. He became her Benny and she became Trouble. What was a mistake in identity turned into something neither of them expected…..
From the very first page, I was hooked!
The characters are so vibrant and the banter is 🔥. It's packed with action, secrets, and unexpected twists that kept me turning the pages
