A dangerous criminal. His enemy’s daughter. Can love conquer revenge?
Two years out of college, Angelica Bondesan spends her time working as a barista, keeping in touch with her prodigal brother, and trying to figure out how to bridge the gap with her father, a wealthy real estate developer.
But all of that changes the night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room, Angelica is positive there’s been some kind of mistake — until she meets Nico Vitale.
Gorgeous and frightening, Nico became the boss of New York City’s Vitale crime family after the execution style murder of his parents two years earlier. Since then he’s turned the old-school mob into a sleek, modern army of ruthless men who understand that physical violence — while always an option — isn’t the only way to get what you want.
Now Angel is forced to face the truth;
Her father is not the man she believed him to be.
Nico Vitale is dangerous, possibly lethal.
She is falling in love with Nico Vitale.
As the pair begin to unravel the complex entanglements between their families, a new threat emerges from an unexpected place. Will it tear them apart? Or will they risk everything for the love of a lifetime?
This is not your mother’s mob.

Please ready all three books. The story is compelling, heart in your throat all the time.
I read another mob story Beautifully Cruel which is hilarious but nowhere near complex and thrilling as these books. A large amount research went into the books which is rare for erotic books.
The only flaws in the plots were when Nico faked his death and his family home was burned down. It's hard to believe especially having a funeral without a body. He was shot not disfigured. The loved ones and his enemies would want to see his body to be sure that he was really dead. If everyone believed he was dead why burned down his home since he owned so many properties.
Overall, it is a very good read.

Hot & Intense
St. James definitely didn't disappoint with this series. Nico and Angelica are two characters you don't want to miss. I originally just had the first book and couldn't put it down. Realizing it was a three book series and that it was sold as a box set, bought it. Glad, I did it. She kept you hooked in this story, wanting to know what happened next and then wrapped it up nicely at the end. But it's intense and suspenseful throughout. Definitely a recommended read!

Wow! Hang on to your seat!
Wow!!!
This is the first time I read any of Michelle St James books. I am so impressed. I saw the movie 365 days and went looking for something along those lines. I found Mob Boss and was hooked. Fast moving, story of love, hate, business first, revenge, A world totally different than the average 9 to 5, 2.5 kids living day to day. This is a Power house box set. I was left wanting More so I got Black Farrell box set. Cant wait to start it. Thank you for sharing with us Michelle St James.

Great Mafia Saga
This is a box set with 3 books that tell the story of two Mafia families in the US, I thought it was excellent and well worth buying and reading it. It has tons of action lots of steamy scenes and a very nice HEA at the end of of book three. I think you will enjoy it if you like a good Mafia story with some steamy action.

I loved, loved, loved Nico and Angelica's (Angel) love story! I cried so hard at the end of Fearless. Michell St. James definitely knows how to keep her readers in the edge of their seats. I can't wait to read more of her books in her "Mob" series!

These characters were really great. Although I love Nick and Angel, Luca quickly became my favorite. I hope to see more of him.

Love, Intrigue, Suspense
A love story that is full of angst, drama, intrigue and suspense. I love the development of Nico and Angel's relationship and how their passionate bond and connection was allowed to grow. The storyline was complex, full of twists and turns and kept you fully engaged in the story. The characters were well developed,interesting and enhanced the storyline. In the end after all of the life changes and sacrifices Nico and Angel finally got their HEA. I loved this series and look forward to reading the other characters story.
