Steamy fast-paced mafia read. Luca is a mob enforcer and when he came to collect from Anna, he was willing to take her instead. Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. I liked the characters and the story has plenty of twists and turns. A good read.

Chemistry and passion so strong!!
Luca was now working for the Mafia, He is on his rounds collecting the protection money but something feels off today. He is on his guard anyway as there is talk of another family coming to take over there territory. But when he gets to the store and a beautiful young lady looks like she has seen a ghost he knows he must act fast.
Anna was working the store for her father and she knew that today was the day that someone comes to collect money for doing nothing!!! How dare they take money out of her families mouth. Its not like the store is making any money these days anyway. Anna had begged her father to stand up to these men but he just told her to behave. When the man comes in something feels off but he knows all the passwords and phrases. Anna does try to delay him but the man is adamant to get his money. It leaves Anna a bit shock up and very angry. So when another man comes in looking for his money Anna has had enough. She calls her father to come down and explain what has happened. But the sexy man in front of her Wants payment.
Luca knew something was wrong and now he has a witness of what the man looks like so he takes Anna. OMG Anna is a spitfire and not scared of tell Luca how it is!! But there is so much chemistry between them that they are explosive!!!!
This is a great read with a brilliant storyline and twist and turns. I couldnt put this book down and read it well into the night and let me tell you i really didnt mind the loss of sleep because i got totally lost in Luca and Anna's story. I really liked them. The sassy, feisty Anna and the cool head of Luca makes for an exciting read. Anna has a way of getting to Luca and the banter between them is just electric.

He may have kidnapped her but he isn't giving her back
Luca: A Dark Mafia Romance is the second book in the Dirty Dons Club series and Naomi West has continued with another great story.
This is the story of Luca and Anna. Luca is a Mafia enforcer who does the regular collections from businesses in the area. Anna's father owns a store that pays for protection from the Mafia. Luca comes to the store to collect the payment only Anna has already made the payment to someone else posing as Luca. Now there is no more money to make the payment to Luca so this gets interesting. Luca decides to kidnap Anna until her father makes the payment. The only problem is that he may not give her back even when the payment is made. Let's just say that Luca's possessive and protective Alpha comes out with Anna whether she likes it or not. Along with all this there is also the fact of who is it that impersonated Luca and made the collection? Some outfit is trying to muscle in on their territory and that cannot happen.
I enjoyed the story of Luca and Anna. The book is nicely written with a good flow to the story. The story-line has danger, drama, suspense, intrigue, some romance and a good amount of darkly delicious sexiness. Luca and Anna are both interesting characters as they are attracted to each other even when they should not be. But the heart wants what the heart wants and for these two it is each other, no matter how they got together initially.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Luca: A Dark Mafia Romance book 2 of the Dirty Dons Club by Naomi West is a fast paced exciting story that is dark, steamy and full of drama surrounding Luca, mob enforcer for the Alfonsi Mafia and spunky, sassy Anna Walters. Luca was sent to collect protection money from Anna's father when he was told that someone posing as Luca has taken the money. Now Luca has only one option left, he needs to take Anna to pay the debt. The interaction and chemistry between these two is highly charged and full of steamy moments as these two banter back and forth. Anna is a strong willed woman who has her wits about her and can give as good as she gets dealing with the predicament she finds herself with Luca, but the passion between them is proving difficult for her to ignore. Now these two are on a journey despite all of the chaos surrounding them to find answers and seek out the person who is taking the protection money on Luca's route. Despite Luca fighting his feelings that Anna is bringing out in him, can he keep her safe from the danger heading towards them? This story had it all action, intrigue and plenty of hot romance as you follow Luca and Anna's adventure together. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. This is another great addition to this series, you will find yourself hooked from beginning to end. Can't wait for the next book.

Luca: A Dark Mafia Romance (Dirty Dons Club) by Naomi West is a new author to me. We follow Luca as he is a fighter working his way out of that life and into the Alfonsi Family as a Protection Money Collector. One day he discovers someone else has collected all of the protection money on his route. From the hardware store he first counters Anna. She is the daughter of the owner and definitely has a mind of her own & a talent for drawing street art & knowing it's history. I love Luca's first impressions of Anna...
"...This one is a f♡ck¡ng sp¡tf¡re. She must be a full foot shorter than me, and I could throw her around like nothing, but she doesn’t care. The fact that she’s defending her father makes it even better. I’m charmed, despite myself. As she yells, I find myself picturing her calling out in a different situation … one in which she’s far happier..."
This is a dark romance, violence, plenty of steamy sex to enjoy, 😏 strong mafia elements and c@pt¡ve/c@ptor themes. The journey of Luca & Anna is a not simple or perfect... a lot happens! You will have to read it to find out. 😊🌴🌺 I received an ARC from Booksprout for my honest review.

I absolutely loved Luca, a mafia romance by Naomi West. Luca comes to Anna’s father's store for protection money. She doesn’t have it, since she gave it to someone posing as Luca. Luca then “kidnaps” Anna and together they set off to find out what is happening. Anna and Luca have amazing chemistry despite what is happening around them. The search for answers leads them on many adventures. I loved Anna and her sass and how protective and conflicted Luca was when it came to Anna. I could not put this story down until I had finished it. It was well written and an amazing story.

This very well written Book 2 in the Dirty Dons Club Series had a good plot as well as part of the Devil's Fangs MC books. These characters interactions are excellent and are well-constructed. She created a great plot and cast of characters. Cannot wait to read more in this series of her books. This is a must read. Naomi West has done it again with another Great book. I am always on the lookout for more books

This was a pretty good mafia book. It doesn't have a slow start and picks up pace quickly although it seems to slow down a little bit into it. I did get a little bored with it at times and that is why I gave it 3 and a half stars. There's suspense, danger, a little humor and steam. I really liked Luca's character but Anna never really grew on me. Just not a favorite of mine. It had a nice plot and a good ending to their story.

Interesting Mafia story for sure. I liked it. I liked the plot, the banter, the steam and the pacing of the story. What I was a bit disappointed in was the lack of confidence and street smarts in the main hero. Good thing Anna is strong, fierce woman who can think fast on her feet. But the chemistry between Luca and Anna kept the story interesting for me.

What a Great Story! Luca is an enforcer,collecting protection money for the Mafia. a couple of stops, makes him wonder whats going on. By the time he gets to Anna he's getting a clearer picture. But because she doesn't have the money, he takes her. And boy does he wonder if he will regret that decision! These two are funny, and serious and Anna proves to be an asset, in solving the mystery. A Mafia guy with a heart is hard to beat!

Just wasn’t for me
Luca was an enforcer for the Mafia and Anna was working in her dads shop, when he came to collect his money.
I read the beginning up to about 20% but it never gripped me, i was bored. As I don’t like not knowing the ending i flicked to about 80%. I didn’t feel like i wanted to go back and read the bit in between.
As always, we are all individuals and what is good for one, isn’t always good for someone else. Make your own mind up.

Mafia enforcer comes to collect money. She doesn't have it so he takes her. He is instantly attracted to her but most first figure out who is trying to muscle in on his territory. Hopefully with her help he can find out.
I enjoyed this book. Well written.

Luca is the enforcer for the Mafia and he's come to collect the money that Anna took. She doesn't have it. He's attracted to her so since she doesn't have the money he'll take her instead. This is dark, entertaining, steamy story and once you start reading you'll want to finish. Find out who really took the money! I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Anna is a artist working for her dad. Luca is in the mafia, he's the enforcer. Anna and luca meet when her father can't pay his debt. The attraction and chemistry is off the charts. But can these two find love in the dangers of the mafia? Will there be a HEA?

Luca is a mob enforcer who went to collect a debit from Anna who doesn’t have it. So he takes her instead. What we get is one Hughes roller coaster ride that has me on the edge of my seat until the end,

Luca and Anna's Story
This is an interesting and entertaining book. The characters are complex and likable. Their love story is sweet. It does gloss over the bad things that the mafia does to civilians, but that is not unusual for a mafia book.
