I'm so Team Jack! Eyes don't lie in "Maid For the Irish Mafia Man: An Instalove Possessive Alpha Romance (A Man Who Knows What He Wants Book 138." This was one of Flora Ferrari most erotic romance yet!

"Jack Doyle is a force to be reckoned with and being so deliciously up close, even for just a few moments, gives me a better understanding of what the words powerful man really mean."

"When our eyes finally lock in the mirror, she’s startled, but it’s a look of recognition, soul recognition that shocks us both for an instant."

Lucy has been told keep her head down and work.. and since she is working for a Irish mobster to always keep your head down, but when she looks into a mirror he eyes lock onto Irish Mobster Jack and well that's all.

Jack wants Lucy from the way her vibe is, her body and soul he wants to make her his wife, but he kinda scared her off or Lucy self doubt scared her off. Doesnt take long for Jack to burst down a door and catch her in a steamy act of self care ;).

Now Jack has to show Lucy shes all his and he wont go away or down without a fight.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, virgin gal & no manehore

Insta Everything Not So 🔥Hot

ADULT Erotica Masquerades as Romance💕.
This is a rather silly novella about an Irish mobster who falls in Insta 💘love with his maid on the first day of her employment.
Some of the language and descriptions used in this very ADULT story are extremely crude and rude. There is no romance or finesse in this book. There is very little story except as a set up to each "encounter".
It is what it is. I personally don't find this type of writing a turn on or even interesting. Thankfully it was a very short read. My rating reflects the quality of the writing and story.

A man's home is his castle, with his heart at its foundation

Eighteen year old Lucy Fanning has headed to Ireland from the United States as part of the college scholarship through the state department fun for parentless teens who also have an intern program. She has not gotten the exact placement she had hoped for, journalism, and instead has would up working as a maid in a large country house to a mysterious Irish Billionaire. She was instructed by the agency - "Jack Doyle does as he pleases, don't get in his way and don't stop working whatever happens." What she did not expect is to meet her boss after being their for a about a week and having a very visceral reaction to him watching her work.
Jack Doyle spies the new maid and cannot take his eyes off her. He is a very wealthy man Irish man who has some legitimate businesses and some cash businesses. When he sees Lucy the first thing he thinks is "The Lord helps those who help themselves. And I spy something Jack Doyle wants to make his very own, forever." The very big possessive and protective Alpha in his 6 foot five large body comes out in full force. He knows that no matter what she will be his and the large estate will be filled with many children creating noise and chaos. No matter who or what comes between him and Lucy Jack will ensure that it is taking care of, with a lot of money, and this includes the local Father, who is looking after young Lucy.

This is a fun and engaging OTT insta-love story that pulled me in at the beginning and would not let me go until the end, with a couple wonderful epilogues to see where the couple end up and just how many kids are in their HEA. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to other readers.

A Sweet, Fanciful Tale of Swoon Worthy Love at First Sight...

"Maid for the Irish Mafia" is one of a flurry of new novellas released by author Flora Ferrari, for her "A Man Who Knows What He Wants" series. It is series installment number 138 to be exact.

This one is the tale of Jack Doyle, an older man, presumably in his forties, loosely outlined as a powerful and commanding, yet reclusive, billionaire businessman with mafia-ish ties. And Lucy Fanning, a shy, eighteen or twenty year old (a confusing and unclear detail as both ages are referenced at the beginning) orphan, participating in a church run work/school internship exchange program between Ireland and the States. She is placed in the home of Jack Doyle by said program as a maid. What follows is a fairly straightforward, love at first sight, insta-everything story in keeping with Ferrari's trademark writing style.

This one was a bit out of character for the normally detail oriented Ferrari. Here, the character framework is vague and mostly left within the realm of assumption and off page, as if this story was more about meeting a publishing deadline instead of a labor of love for the author. Are the characters interesting and attention grabbing in and of themselves? Yes, yes they are. Is the plot a sweet, fanciful tale of swoon worthy love? Absolutely! Is it sexy, fiery, and full of obsessively themed insta-love? Yes, yes it is. However, it was unsettled and unclear in places, similar in feel to a previous story in the AMWKWHW, "Maid for the Italian Mafia", and a bit of a disappointment as a result

However, despite the repeated theme overall, it remains an enjoyable diversion. A great way to pass a couple of spare hours.

Lucy comes to Ireland for a new start from her old life in the US. Being a maid for an Irish mob boss isn’t the internship she expected, but she will take what she can get considering she grew up in an orphanage. When she gets a glimpse of her boss though, there’s a longing that develops instantly - but she assures herself that someone like him would never want a girl like her.
Jack is awestruck when he sees the new maid, being drawn to her is the most natural reaction he has ever felt and he knows he has to claim this shy, curvy beauty. He has to make her his.

Flora has written the sweetest over the top instalove story yet with this one. I loved how Jack helped build Lucy’s self confidence, how he unconditionally loved her from day one, giving her all of the live she missed out on while growing up. This fairy tale like story had me smiling constantly, especially with the epilogues - getting a glimpse at their beautiful life years later made my heart so happy.

Lucy and Jack are the latest lovebirds in Flora's book. Lucy applies to be a maid and Jack, the Irish mafia boss, is her boss. From the moment he sees her, Lucy becomes the future Mrs. Doyle. The only problem is Lucy is scared at first. Fret not, she gets over it quickly. However, you have to read the rest of the story to find out what happens to Lucy and Jack.

Do you know what I love about Flora's books? She never wastes time getting to the point of the book. We all want steamy, insta-love, and romance ASAP. Flora Ferrari delivers as always. Continued amazement at how she does it. By the way, no one loves curvy women more than Flora. Thank you for giving voice to them!!

Short, sweet story that doesn't take long to read. No cheating! HEA!! Extended epilogues! What more could you want? Exactly! Read the book!

love at first sight

Jack Doyle is the Irish Mafia Boss and he has had enough of being alone but he just hasn't found the one. That is until he spots the new maid cleaning a mirror. And it stops him in his tracks.
Lucy had just moved to Ireland and was excited to start her new job. She had been told the rules 1 Dont look Jack Doyle in the eye. 2 Dont stop working
Well she really tried not to break them but when Jack stops behind her its hard to keep cleaning the mirror. Her panties were just wet from feeling him standing behind her. He was like a mountain. So big and strong. And when she looked at him she was totally lost. But could they have a future?????
Lucy was a shy girl who just lost her heart to Jack and now they had work out if this was forever.
OMG this was totally cute it made my heart sing!!!!! I loved Jack and Lucy's charaters. its a really good short story. Lush!!!

I enjoyed this story a lot. The characters were relatable, I could understand Lucy's fears and Jack's frustrations.

Lucy has left life in a small town behind by traveling to Ireland for a job. The job the curvy young woman has landed is as a maid in Jack Doyle's house. She is given the following instructions "Don’t look him in the eyes and don’t stop working." Being as shy as she is, Lucy figures that shouldn't be too hard since she has spent her life looking down. Everything changes once Jack Doyle’s eyes meet hers. The older man’s desire for her is astonishing. Jack decides that he's going to claim her as his own.

The amount of dedication that Jack has for Lucy was over the top sweet. I enjoyed how Jack had a vision of the way he wanted things to be and then worked towards accomplishing that. Their happy ever after was great. I recommend reading this book.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Lucy Fanning and Jack Doyle. Lucy isn't the most confident of woman but being near Jack makes her want more. She does have dreams but no means to get them. Jack knows with just one look he has found his future. He wonders though what has her looking down and away like the weight of the world is bringing her down. Jack is ready for his future to start right now. Can he convince the woman he's just met to be his HEA or will she run not believing in what could be something beautiful?

This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other reader. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very last and will barely let you go. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Jack is used to getting whatever his wants and the minute he laid eyes on Lucy he knew she was his. Now he just had to convince her to be his. Lucy is an orphan and when she started working for Jack was told never to look him in the eyes. So when she looks up into a mirror as she's cleaning and sees him watching her Lucy worries that she'll lose her job. Things don't go as planned for Jack at first but then it looks like he may get his woman. Will Lucy give into this big Irishman?

This is a steamy story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the older man/ younger woman romance between Jack and Lucy. Lucy comes to Ireland to work as a maid for Jack Doyle, and was told not to talk to him or make any contact. When Jack sees his new maid, he knows she is the woman of his dreams and he wants to claim her as his own. When Jack approaches Lucy, she gets scared and flees. Jack decides he must go and get Lucy and bring her home. I like this instant love story. I like Jack, even if he was a little too pushy. I think he couldn't control himself and he scared Lucy, but she also felt the same about him. Another good one from Flora.

Maid For The Irish Mafia Man is another smoking hot read by Flora Ferrari! Jack Doyle is a man not to be messed with. He gets what he wants and after he sees Lucy Fanning, the new maid at his mansion, he wants her. After Lucy turns eighteen and no longer a ward of the state, she heads for Ireland as part of a scholarship program. Rule number one as the maid is do not make eye contact with the very powerful and dangerous Mr. Doyle. It's not the job she was hoping for but it would have to do. She has no idea how her life is about to change forever. Lucy knows someone like Jack will never want someone like her. But Jack Doyle is determined to make her his forever.

Although there is mention of the mafia in the title, it is only the first chapter, so if "mafia" isn't your "thing," don't let it interfere with reading a great story.
I enjoyed this story because, at least to me, it focused more on the man, his emotions, his thoughts and convictions rather than on the woman he was obsessing over. You are left with a smile on your face, and because I am married and have children, reflecting the story towards my husband as a father. I think this should have been released closer to Father's Day.

3.5 stars Mr. Jack Doyle is a big grizzly of a man who has met his match. For one who does not usually partake in of the fleshly relationship of women he has fallen head over definitely heels in love with Lucy the new maid. Apparently she is just turned 18 and this is a taboo like nobody’s business of him being older gentleman and her just being of age. Her insecurities makes this reading like a tennis match of lust and denial of lust. Interesting book of love, lust and lust.

Another fantastic book by Flore. i'm truly hooked on her works and they really speak for themselves. A great mix of love, comedy and mafia! with an instalove story between mafia boss and maid though not a maid for long! with easily lovable characters. A well written tale that you cant put down, and a formula that truly is owned by Flora and her works!

Lucy gets a job over in Ireland for Jack Doyle who is in the Irish Mafia. Lucy is cleaning the house when Jack walks in & sees her. He is mesmerized by her body. Jack knows what he wants & has to have her NOW! Later that day he gets what he wants. Lucy wants the same thing. Since Jack gets what he wants Lucy is now no longer his maid but his Wife, Lover.

A fast insta-everything romance read

Lucy, a maid, moved to Ireland and works for Jack, an Irish mafia boss. As the story progresses an instant connection is found, self-doubt comes into play, and learning to believe in the future could be the hardest thing of all. Flora Ferrari’s Maid for the Irish Mafia Man is a fast insta-everything romance read.

I just cant get enough of Flora Ferrari books. Packed with insta heat and sexy alpha men! I really liked how Lucy was a real curvy girl who is dealing with her personal image compared to what society feels is pretty. Really makes you love yourself more, and a hot sexy man who embraces all her beautiful curves.

Spoilers tag .Very passionate and romantic. Hamdsome blonde haired Jack is instantly drawn to Lucy. She insecure but he shows her the passion she bring within him by marrying her and making her the mother of his child. I love the wooing and action of this hot accent Irish man. Perfect for St. Patrick Day or another day for a hot alpha male.

That book was OTT possessive sweet and romantic. Jack fell so hard and fast for his woman The older man and the shy young woman. The hardened mafia boss and the maid
It was sweet and steamy and funny. He claimed his woman in lightning speed. It was not spelled out but I think Jack was a virgin as well as Lucy. The epilogues were fun to read.

Told in alternating points of view “Maid for the Irish Man” jumps right into it, no doubt that Jack plans to make Lucy his wife. He is an older businessman, dangerous, Alpha and totally taken with Lucy. Lucy is young and unsure of herself. But Jack is determined to be her first & last. Some intense OTT moments and plenty of “presence, power & potency”! HEA guaranteed.
