OTT & Entertaining
I liked this story. It was a bit over-the-top and entertaining. It was also dirty and fun. Beds break and flood gates break in public and private.

I wanted to like this book so much cuz hellooo curvy gal ;) but sadly i felt like Selena/Isabella was kinda alphaish then Gabriel.. for a mob bodyguard i would think he would be wayyy more alpha.. even in the bedroom.. but bella was the one barking orders and hisses.. yes hisses she hisses at him to fuck her.. for a virgin she did a 360.. :( and knew what she was doing.. when she never dated anyone or slept with anyone.. :( im disappointed

The couple: Gabriel and Selena
Romance trope: mafia; age-gap
Length: 74 pages
Plot: Selena has left home where her father is the head of the mafia. She wants to escape that life. She's living with another family and goes to college under another name. But now there are new threats against her and her father has sent his trusted bodyguard Gabriel to watch over Selena, not knowing that the two of them have an almost-history.
Commentary: I think this is my favorite of the author's books. It's silly, yes, and over the top. But I still enjoyed the fact that Selena got the dream - her childhood crush came to her and loved her back.
Grammar/formatting: weird capitalization at times (for example: The Professor — a balding middle-aged guy in a tweed jacket — stares at me like a deer about to get hit by a Monster Truck.)

This was a freebie on Amazon. Thank goodness because I couldn't get further than the first chapter.

I didn't know what to expect from this book, being it is a mob, slash mafia, erotic romance. It is a splendid surprise, to find out, it is funny, sweet, tense, romantic, and sad.
The characters are well-rounded and filled with layers like a delicious cake. You have a mafia boss's daughter, Isabella, now known as, Selena. Because at nine, when her mother was killed, by another rivaling organization. She asked to be sent far away from that world because she hated her father. So, he did.
But, up until the age of nine, the bodyguard she had, and who retained a constant during that time was, Gabriel. He is also who she mourned the most, besides her mother, once she is sent, to her adoptive parents. He was twelve years older than her. At the time, it may have seemed like a lot, now not, so much.
See, Gabriel again. When she has to go against everything, she's worked so had to stay away, from it. It's like a double-edged sword. He’s what’s left of the best of her past, yet the worst, too. What scares her, even more, is that she finds this older version of, Gabriel, extremely sexy.
Making this an even more interesting story right off the bat. Gap books always are

This is the story of Selena, a young woman who was the daughter of a mob boss and an actress. When her mother was killed when Selena was a child, she told her father she didn't want to be around his life anymore, so he arranged for her to be adopted. Now Selena was in college and under a new identity. Selena was approached by a man one day and he called her by her birth name Isabella and told him she was in danger unless she got her father to agree to a deal. Selena called her father and he sent Gabriel to protect her. Gabriel was Selena's bodyguard when she was a child, but he was not ready to see her grown into a woman. Gabriel wanted Selens for himself, but he knew her father would kill him. When he vowed to protect her, he also knew he could never let her go. I liked this quick and steamy read. I loved how protective of Selena Gabriel was. He was willing to give his life for her and i think she loved him as much. Good one.

Ms. Sarah Hazel has published a quick, compelling and steamy romance book. Dirty Curvy is a fantastically crafted Mafia romance that center's around Isabella, aka Selena and the gorgeous Gabriel. He was her protector until the day she left New Jersey. Now, in her time of need, she is reunited with him in Chicago and while danger surrounds them, their passion ignites. Can Gabriel protect his love and get out alive to claim his woman once and for all or will she be torn away from her love by her Father when all is said and done? I encourage all romance junkies, like myself, to follow along as they find themselves giving their all for a chance at their happily ever after.
I adored Ms. Hazel's creativity and her talent knows no end. I can not wait to see what is next from this brilliant Author.

A good quick read
I enjoyed this book. Bella aka Selena wanted a different life after tragedy robbed her. She changed her name and started a new life. The past was never too far away though and with it brings Gabriel. Can they have the life she always said they would have before things changed?
This is an older/younger story. It does have HOT scenes, but nothing forceful. I liked the banter between the two of them and the nicknames. The characters were pretty much on point and the concept of the is pulls you in quickly.

Selena is a mobster’s daughter and wants nothing to do with it but with a rival mob out for vengeance she has to break you silence from the family and ask for help. Gabriel has loved Selena aka Isabella for a long time. He has always been her bodyguard and now he isn’t about to let anyone hurt his girl. First, we never really know what the deal is with the rival mob. I really would like to know. The story is more about Gabriel and Selena and the passion they have for one another. These two have chemistry like dynamite, explosive. It is hot, sweaty, and hard. Enough said.

I enjoyed the romance but there wasn’t much build up and we didn’t find out what her father wasn’t giving to other mobsters. the ending was just so quick. we didn’t even get to see the big fight.
I liked the heroine but it bothered me that she just left her father when she was NINE and her father was like ok i’ll let you be adopted. there wasn’t much of a reason either. just because she blamed him for her mother’s death. there wasn’t abuse or mention about her hating him. She even changed her name, even first name

Quick read....
Sara’s books are always noted as short reads of curvy girls with hot alpha males, a mix that works well.
Selena/Bella has done well to walk away from her fathers Mafia’s business dealings after the loss of her mother but when his enemies come after her he sends Gabriel to protect her..
This book fires up hot and steamy pretty quickly but lacked a little plot in the middle, to a good HEA.

A great little read of a mafia princess trying to escape her past, but when her father's enemies come calling selena has to rely on her former bodyguard, Gabriel.
Once a child now a woman gabe can't fight the feelings he has for his boss's daughter, protecting her is more than his job now. Fast paced steamy romance.

A quick read.
If you like lots of steamy scenes , and do not care if the plot is weak, then this is for you. For me, this was a disappointment. I really like curvy girl stories, but not this one. The plot was weak. I felt the ending was contrived. I was expecting more about the threat against Selena and how her father got her so endangered.

I thought this was a great book. It jumps into the action right away and doesn't slow down! I enjoyed the main characters: Bella, who just wanted to run away from her past, and Gabriel, her former bodyguard before she left that life behind. Once you start you won't want to put it down. The sex scenes are awesome, but Sara has a great imagination. Enjoy!

A quick but enjoyable read
I enjoyed this book. It was a quick but hot and sexy read. I liked the characters and the way they played off each other. I think it was worth the time to read.

It was a good hot smutty story. It just bit lacking in character for my taste. The h was supposedly daughter of a mob king, but she acted like nothing like it. She resented it. She didnt even feel remorsed or touched with what his father did for her; keeping her out of harm. I just felt like some details were out of place and weird.

This was truly a fun read. Thinking it was gonna be a bit on the gory side considering it is a mob/ mafia type read. the gory stuff was excluded the sexy stuff was cranked up quite a bit. I only wish there was a little bit more meat to the story but it was a fun quick read.

A bit different
The story was different than others of this genre- mafia romance. Here the girl has her say. Her decisions are respected. But then there were a few parts where I got bored and just skimmed through the main parts.
