Mob Ties: The Complete Boxset

by Nova Rain

There’s only one rule in this business: don’t fall in love.

Getting romantically involved always brings trouble, and I already have plenty of that working for Eric Santone.

This job requires focus and a lack of morals, two things I undoubtedly have.
Until the beautiful bartender I’ve been watching for the last year needs help.

I can’t fight the instinct to protect Michelle…
Or my desire for the woman who’s too damn good to get involved with the likes of me.

Secrets. Lies. Backstabbing. Death.

It’s all just part of this gig.

But I never could have anticipated how deeply entangled the girl of my dreams really is in all this mess,
or what I’ll do to protect her.

a box set ?? really? I read 2 books a prequel and book 1>> Mob Ties: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance (Guardians From Hell Book 1) where does a box set come into play ? I mean the prequel was like 38 pages so if that and the book is what this author is considering a box set then yea I guess ... ok ..
well the story line is good.. the young Man Joe Mancini leaves an orphanage at 18 and gets chosen by a mafia don and then he is accepted into this "Family" his best friends in the "Family are Donny and Bryan" thru out they show these 3 doing many things together and how Joe seems to fall in lust/love with Michelle who we eventually find is relater to the man who took Joe into the family and off the streets ... not to share spoilers so will leave the rest to you readers to get the books and read for yourselves .. I really liked the stories but I was left I guess wanting more ... could have just been me :)
but either way good storyline... worth while to take a read thru

Michelle finds out that there are still some sweet, handsome men in the world who know how to care about a woman and Joe who has been coming to the bar where she works for over a year and seems to check every box. Ok, so what could possibly happen if Michelle and Joe got to know each other better? Well, Joe has been working as a Mafia enforcer since he was barely a teenager and, wait, there is more as someone is apparently trying to kill Michelle. I enjoyed this book and found myself rooting that the two would find happiness despite all the obstacles that seem to be against them This was my first book by this author but I have added her to my list of "go to" authors.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

I received a free copy of this book.

Mob Ties: Joe is a mafia henchman and has a crush on bartender Michelle. Michelle is a non-practicing attorney trying to pay the bills. Joe is completely hooked on her from the first kiss. Joe and his two coworkers/buddies (also from the prequel) have their work cut out for them in this story. Michelle’s friends, a doctor and a stripper, are definitely interesting.

Bad boy violence. Explosions. Sweet letters. Joe is full of surprises.

A good girl, bad boy combination that bring the bad girl to the surface. Michelle doesn't hold back and I like that Joe is thrown off by her advances. Under that bad boy exterior is a gentleman. This read is full of excitement, violence and sexy scenes. Great weekend read :)

Joey and Michelle's Story...Mob Ties

If you like stories about the Mafia, knowing that there will be drama, angst and then their is their love story. It was entertaining. There were interesting characters and I found it to be a Good Read.

I have read book #1 and now the complete series! This story is about Joe a made man and Michelle a woman who went to law school became a lawyer and works as a bartender. Joe liked to drink in the bar where Michelle works and after a year 2 guys try to rob her and Joe puts a stop to that. Once they decide to temp fate they spend one beautiful night together and Joe walks away! These two pass each other several times over the next week and each time Joe saves Michelle from harm. There are some unexplained happenings and Joe will do whatever is necessary to keep Michelle safe even if it includes going up against his boss, Eric. Secrets are revealed and other men form other families are involved and things get intriguing and Joe goes all out to protect his. He saves her again a few night later when he stops a man that he has been after for a while from blowing up the bar that she works in. Joe is a hard man but boy is he one fine lover full of heart and love! Michelle’s world is turned upside down when secrets are revealed and becomes very hard on Joe and his choices. This is a absolutely great 1st story by Nova! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is the complete story of Joe and Michelle and it was so good. Joe has been watching Michele for over a year now and has been attracted to her since he first saw her. He believes she deserves someone better than him. He works for the mob and doesn’t want to taint her with his job. He ends up breaking all his rules and they fall for each other, but his secrets about his job and what he does can come between them. They have a strong connection and done off the charts hot chemistry. When Michelle comes into the spotlight, so to say, Joe will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. There is suspense, action, anger, angst, secrets, heartache and some twists and turns. I really like the storyline and the characters were written beautifully. They were fantastic. Grab up this box set.

4 stars for this new author Nova Rain. I read part one and was left feeling a little disappointed with Joe especially when he was talking to the Don. I felt as if his behaviour was that of a weaker person rather than one of his lead henchmen. By part 2 he had showed redeeming qualities in the way that he was falling for Michelle. Definitely didn’t like his boss The Don Mr Santone he came across a real pig. Overall the book wasn’t a bad read. And Nova has displayed some great potential to her writing. I’m assuming the next book will either be about one of the boys that worked with Joe or it may be about one of the girls Michelle’s best friends. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more stories.

I loved this twist on this mafia romance..
Joe isn’t the mob boss but he’s a foot soldier to one..

He sets his sights on Michelle ..sweet innocent Michelle

She works as a barmaid at a bar ..even though she has the qualifications to become a lawyer

But he doesn’t want to corrupt her so he puts his feelings aside..
Until he can’t ..
And her life is on the line ..

Now he’ll do anything to protect her...
Even from his boss...

Great little twists...

And the chemistry between these two is hot 🔥

Great little box set

Enjoyable realistic conflict

They had great chemistry but also were mature in dealing with the dichotomy of their lives it was a good read as a set I may have been irritated if I had to read as a serial
