This billionaire’s possessive passion has me captivated.
My dad’s best friend gets me a job working as an air hostess on his private plane, but when some criminals make derogatory comments about me, this primal alpha won’t let it slide. He goes feral.
I can’t believe that he wants me, a naïve younger woman, and he’s not put off by my inexperience. He knows how to take what he wants.
“And I claim you, Sophia. Forever.”
But what is my dad going to say when he finds out about me and the Bratva bad boy who just-so-happens to be his oldest friend?
This possessive silver fox does not take no for an answer, and there’s no way I even want to turn him down, but what if the criminal underworld is just too tough for me?
Can I follow my dreams and become a Michelin-star chef at the same time as being chased by the feral primal alpha, or will my dad’s disapproval ruin the passionate connection we share?
*Attending The Russian Mafia is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger
Diving in I wasn't sure what to expect, this was my first Flora Ferrari book and one of few mafia books I've read. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, it had the right amount of steam and a possessive and protective alpha of a man.
Stefan was struck by Sophia as soon as he'd seen the young woman she'd grown into. Sophia has always had a thing for the older man, but she never thought he'd look at her the same way. The bratva mob boss may look intimidating, but he's so incredibly sweet when it comes to our heroine that you can't help but love him.
This was a fun read and the epilogues were great. I really enjoyed it and will be reading more books by this author.

This woman is his queen whether she knows it or not yet. But how will her father and his best friend react to the news and will Sophia be forced to choose between love and blood?
Short read with everything that you know you are going to get from a Flora Ferrari book. Recommended read especially with the extended epilogue. 4* Read. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
It was heavy on the baby making. Like really heavy on the getting her pregnant thing. I got a few chuckles out of it.
I couldn't get into it at the beginning because everything was so insta for him. The heroine just gapes at him as he makes these "mine" claims and she still questions what he wants when he has stated his intentions very clearly. It was all just meh.
Wow was hooked on this from the first to the last page. Stefan knows what he wants when he sees it and after a comment was made about her he turns into this protective alpha male man and puts the other man in his place. Sophia has always looked at Stefan dreamily when he used to come around to their house and now he was punching a man because of the comment he made about her. Sophia is a plus size curvy woman who gets those comments about her she tells Stefan well no more as she is his queen now she is his. Stefan can’t be without Sophia she is his and he will show this too her. Sophia is treated like a queen then the time comes when they need to tell her father about Stefan’s best friend a about them. Sophia is nervous but it goes quite well her fathers reaction at the beginning wasn’t so good but after a secret is revealed all goes well to celebrate Stefan takes her out and also proposes to her obviously the only answer needed is a yes.
Stefan is the brava mafia boss and Sophia’s dad childhood friend, Sophia’s dad does not agree with Stefans line of work.
Sophia had a crush on Stefan since she was about 15 years old, she finds older men more attractive. They see each other again when Sophia becomes a flight attendant for him, she needs the money because she wants to go to culinary school to open her own Michelin star restaurant.
Now they are going to have to break the news to her parents especially her father, will he be okay with it?
A story that a nice storyline and plot. Nice and likeable characters with good chemistry between them. Several places I would have liked some more depth to the story because that would have made it a better read. I like the way the couple makes their relationship and attraction sweet and yet steamy. The story has some action but it was a bit confusing at times to find out what was going on here. Absolutely a nice and recommendable read.
A enjoyable read. The storyline was interesting and entertaining. The characters were likable and had great chemistry. Older man and younger woman. Overall a sweet read.

Loved this book. Well written as usual for Flora Ferrari. If you like a story with plenty of steam and a really nice HEA, this is the book to read. Every Flora Ferrari book I've read has been well worth reading. Give it a chance, you won't regret it!
This novel had a lot of up and down moments for me. One moment, I was completely sure I wouldn't keep reading it, the next I couldn't seem to put it down because I wanted to know what happened. In the end, I'm glad I stuck with it and finished it out.
Stefan & Sophia story is one of my absolute best by this author. The book was intriguing and intense from the very beginning to the end in the best way possible.
Kenny Finks, Sophia Carter’s manager, reminds her that she must never look Mr. Stefan Elgort in the eye nor speak to him. She didn’t bother to tell him that Mr. Elgort has been her father’s best friend for as long as she can remember. They will be heading to Russia and she will be serving them drinks and refreshments. She hadn’t seen him since she was a teenager of 15 wearing braces and he probably doesn’t remember her. Kenny is droning on and on and suddenly asks if she agrees with his request! Not wanting to admit she wasn’t listening, she said yes, so he repeated that she would also be taking and serving lunch orders to a dozen men, in addition to the drinks, while Kenny took a break from his lunch duty. One of the men makes a nasty remark and next thing she knows is Stefan has risen and hit the guy in the face with a serving tray!
Seven of the Moscow men jump up to attack Stefan as he starts taking them down one by one until they all back away. Then he locks them in the back section of the plane for the rest of the trip.
Stefan follows Sophia and kicks Kenny out of the room. He tells her that she will be staying at his high-security estate and that he claims her as his own. And although she wants him as well, she has a secret that will ruin everything. She needs to tell him before things go any further. And she needs to ask herself if she is willing to give up her dreams of being a chef? Or if her dad will step in and ruin her chances with Stefan? So many things to think about. What is it that she really wants for herself and her future – if he doesn’t walk away?
I liked this story a lot. It was very entertaining and enjoyable but it's definitely mafia lite. The characters were interesting and relatable. I really liked how Sophia's self-confidence grew.

I liked that Stefan was so protective of Sophia even from her own self-talk. Stefan wanting to be upfront with her family and tell them right away was cool even though I kind of understood Sophia wanting to wait a little while. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book.

He doesn't think twice about stepping up and holding up her honor. Will these two get their HEA or will the problems of the past become the problems of the future?
This is another amazing story 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 readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Attending The Russian Mafia is the story of Sophie and Stefan. Sophie Carter is working as a flight attendant on a private plane flying to Russia with several men on board. One of these is Stefan Elgort who is actually her father's old best friend and someone she has known most of her life. But she has not seen him for several years since she was fifteen years old, and looked very different. Things kick off on the plane when one of the Russian men starts spouting off and saying inappropriate things about Sophie. She tries to ignore this but Stefan steps in and exerts his possessive and protective Alpha defending her. He is claiming her and she is his now, to protect and provide for and to love. This is a fast-paced, OTT, steamy, hot, insta-love, older man/younger woman novella by Flora Ferrari for her A Man Who Knows What He Wants. This book was a sweet and enjoyable read that left a smile on my face and a blush on my cheeks!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Sophia was the woman Stefan wanted for his Queen! by sewsummore
This book is a short, instant love story about a man who longed to meet the woman he would be his alone. When Stefan last saw Sophia, she was still a child wearing braces, now she is the sex-fueled angel I have been waiting for, the mother of my children, my queen. Sophia had a teenage crush of Stefan, he was very different from the boys at her high school, she had wanted a man like Stefan. Finding out that he wanted her was a dream come true for her. Telling her father who was my best friend, was something Stefan was not looking forward to but I will not hide what I feel for my Sophia. I found this book an enjoyable read with a happy ending. I especially liked the two epilogues detailing their lives with children in later years.

Sophia's dad asked his friend Stefan if he would hire his daughter so that she can pay for culinary school. Sophia is hired to work on Stefan private plane. Stefan is immediately smitten with Sophia. Sophia has been in love with Stefan for awhile. Stefan decides to play it cool when Sophia serves the passengers their meals. One guy says something and Stefan decides that comment was out of line. This is a good book. You see another side of the Bratva. Stefan is protective of females, especially Sophia. This is mentioned in the book. The story flows smoothly while still maintaining the pace of the book. It is a short read.

Great novella!! Flora Ferrari has once again given us a hot, alpha male in Stefan worthy of drooling over and he knows immediately upon seeing curvy Sophia exactly what (or should that be who) it is he wants and he wastes no time staking his claim and no one had better get in his way or keep him from doing just that!! I liked how Sophia had aspirations of becoming a world-class chef and was working as an attendant in order to save money for culinary school. Will that get derailed by Stefan and will that particular dream die in favor of a life with him? You will have to read this to find out if things work out for Sophia and Stefan.

This is a wonderful instalove and insta-obsession romance about Sophia and Stefan. She was hired to work as an air hostess on his personal jet, on a flight to Moscow. When someone made a derogatory comment about her, he flew off the handle in a mega-protective way, practically claiming her as his own.
Their relationship grows at a rapid rate, and there were some great surprises along the way. One in particular made my heart flutter a little bit… It was a great mix of sweet and steamy, and as with all of Flora’s books, made for a very enjoyable read. I just wish it didn’t have to end! I gave it four and a half stars.

Sophia, an air hostess, starts to work for Stefan, a Bratva boss and her dad’s best friend, so that she can earn enough money to follow her dream of becoming a head chef. As the story progresses an instant connection is made when they see each other again, a few obstacles get in the way, and the hardest one they face could tear them apart. Flora Ferrari’s Attending the Russian Mafia is an exciting insta-everything romance read. I wouldn’t mind seeing Nik get his own Cupid’s arrow book.

Once again we have a inst everything story where the hot alpha older male falls for his shy young woman How Flora keeps writing these books and making them all so good I will never know
Stefan helps to get his best friends daughter get a job working as stewardess on a private airline that he uses and he is stunned how much she has grown up when he sees her on one of his flights Then things come to a head when one of the other passengers disrespects her and he quickly puts him and his friends in their place and locks them away He know she is the one for him and whisks her away to his estate but how will his best friend handle him and Sophia as a couple You will have to read to see
I enjoyed this book. it was a taboo older man, best friend to the younger girl's father. throw in a bad boy bratva man and the alpha shows his claws. Although they had been in each others lives, it had been so years and when the Russians on the plane Sophia made nasty comments about her, Stefan jumped to defend her honour. for me his attitude towards Sophia was at odds with the persona and lifestyle Stefan lived. so parts of the story for me didn't ring true for a man in the bratva, but it didn't take anything away from the story and was a change from the norm to have a character live his life to the code he wished to follow.
