Money is the root of all evil…
Or is it?
Oscar Ashford grew up living a life of luxury. Sure, it had its appeal, but being raised by strangers and living in a home where he was seen and not heard left a lasting impression. Years later, this trust fund baby still worked hard to shake the term, always proving himself a better man than the day before. Now, he runs a nonprofit, working every day to better the community around him. He thought he had it all—everything he would ever need—until he found the one woman who made him realize he wanted more.
Sofia Corsetti’s life had been turned upside down. Suddenly, she was part of a family she had never heard of, and heiress to a fortune that was going to ruin her future. Dateless for her first event with her new family, she turned to the one thing she swore she’d never do; she let her best friend set her up with a matchmaking service. Little did she know, the striking man who showed up at her door had more secrets than she could imagine.
Will Oscar and Sofia face the obstacles of new love together, or will betrayal tear them apart?

Sofia and Ozzie were my favorite characters in this book. Sofia is now my book girlfriend 🥹🥹 I loved her character and watching he grow through out the book. She swooned me. I highly highly recommend this book! Give it a read!

This is a very sweet romance that made me swoon in more ways than one. 🥰🥵 however I do feel it was a bit rushed I would have loved to see more from them. The spice is top notch and a wonderful introduction to BDSM smut. Ozzie and Sofia are wonderful characters and their love is just to die for!

I am voluntarily leaving this review. Oh my…I don’t even know where to start. I thought Micah was my favorite in this series. That was true until Sofia and Ozzie came in and stole the show! You will be hooked from page one!
Sofia is coming to terms that she has brothers, with her oldest brother’s wedding coming up, she doesn’t want to go alone. With the help of her best friend setting her up with a matchmaker service online, she gets a match and it is one that will turn her world upside down. Ozzie was surprised to get a call from a matchmaker service saying he had a match. Feeling obligated to go but not really interested, he was very glad he did when he met the woman of his dreams.
This is filled with steamy chemistry, the drama/suspense was perfect and the characters were relatable. I cannot wait to see what else Nikki Rome has in store for us!

The Corsetti Empire, #3 - what an unexpected gem. Sofia is such a beautiful character - and her relationship with Ozzie just makes you want to be her and experience all the awesomeness that is their love. This is SUCH a gorgeous emotionally honest read - the two characters really and truly resonate with the reader. And a HEA. Winner.

How are we on book 3?! This may be my favourite one yet!
The storyline and writing was perfectly executed, the drama was just enough and as always the characters were on point.
I couldn't help but fall for Ozzie and Sofia, their chemistry was strong and I just loved their story.
I couldn't put this down until the very last word!

3.5stars-SOFIA is the third instalment in Nikki Rome’s contemporary, adult THE CORSETTI EMPIRE erotic, romance series-a spin off from the author’s DARK KINGS series. This is Sofia Corsetti, and Oscar Ashford’s story line. SOFIA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Sofia’s story line begins in book two MICAH.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including same-sex FF scenarios, domination, discipline, voyeurism and BDSM.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Oscar and Sofia) SOFIA follows the discovery of, and introduction of Sofia Edwards, soon to be known as Sofia Corsetti. Sofia is the illegitimate daughter of the late Corsetti patriarch, a man with connections to the criminal underworld. Upon old man Corsetti’s death, Dante Corsetti discovered his uncle fathered another child, a half sister to Luca and Micah Corsetti. Needing a date for her half brother’s wedding, with the help of her friend, Sofia enrolls on a matchmaking, dating site where she will be matched with our story line hero. Enter Oscar ‘Ozzie’ Ashford, the heir to Ashford Industries and Hotels, but a man who keeps secret his family connections. As Ozzie and Sofia’s relationship begins to build, Ozzie’s true identity will be revealed, breaking Sofia’s heart in the process. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sofia and Ozzie, and the potential fall-out as lies of omission threaten the growing love between our story line couple.
The relationship between Ozzie and Sofia is one of immediate attraction. Ozzie has told Sofia he runs a youth center for at risk children but has struggled to tell Sofia the truth about his family and the family money. Secrets would tear our couple apart, forgiveness and understanding will bring them together but Ozzie has a kinky side, one Sofia is about to discover, when he introduces our heroine to The Citadel $ex Club. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense; there are some same $ex scenarios between Sofia and the club Dominatrix, as well as voyeurism, and discipline.
The secondary and supporting characters include Luca, Bella and Luca’s daughter Jenny; Micah and Bella, as well as their cousin Dante Corsetti.
SOFIA is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and love. The premise is engaging and interesting; the characters are energetic; the romance is seductive and provocative but herein lies the problem-up until Ozzie takes Sofia to the $ex club there is no mention, no inclination and no hint about what was to come-which in turn felt out of place to the overall story line. Sofia accepts everything, doesn’t question what Ozzie is offering including breath play, voyeurism, BDSM, Dominatrix etc.

Sofia grew up in foster care, or so she thought. She was shocked when her cousin knocked on her door telling her she had two half brothers. Then she was shocked to find out her brothers were billionaires. She never care for money because she felt people with money were not honest people and also felt the money made them greedy. She needed a date for her brothers wedding and so her bestie talked her into signing up for a matchmaker on drunken Friday evening. She was shocked that she had a match almost immediately to a guy named Ozzy.
Ozzy grew up with with a silver spoon in his mouth but he worked his entire life to shake the term trust fund baby. He also didn’t like being told what to do with his life especially from his parents.
Ozzy agreed to meet Sofia for coffee. He liked the way she rambled when she was nervous. After learning how she felt about money he knew he had to tell her his secret but he had to take care of something’s first. Will it be too late or will it cause troubles in their relationship?

★ “I want to give you everything, Sofia. All you have to do is ask.” ★
—>>> Two characters who do not really fit in with their current families, but who seem to fit perfectly when they are together. The attraction is certainly there, and their initial encounters very sweet and slow-paced while they got to know one another. In fact, it was beginning to be so sugary sweet that I really appreciated the dual POV, which kept me engaged enough to keep reading on. Sofia realizes that what she sees is what she gets with Ozzie, except for a very large detail, which may be a deal breaker when it comes to light. She, however, has managed to find someone on the dating site she could ultimately trust her pleasure to, someone who cared enough to read her and her desires, then give them to her in erotic exploration.

Sophia and Ozzy are both searching for something more and when she finds brothers and one is getting married, she does not want to go alone. A friend sets her up with a matchmaker and Ozzy is notified. Neither planned for their worlds to tilt but the steam, suspense and pull grab them and give them no choice. Loved the characters, their personalities and strength. Lots of drama, great dialogue, secrets, twists, steam, and much more. Totally enjoyed the storyline and the fact it was not overly mafia centered. Great ending.

Book 3 in The Corsetti Empire series. I like how each book has overlapped with characters and storylines on the side; standalone in series, but I'd definitley recommend reading all 3 to get the full experience about the Corsetti's. Spicy, secret billionaire romance with BDSM elements. Covers past trauma experienced by characters. I really enjoyed how it all played out and getting to know Sofia and Ozzie. Can't wait to read more from Nikki Rome.

Sofia Corsetti
This is the third book in The Corsetti Empire Series. I wasn't sure how I would go with this book as Sofia was new to the family, however this story is about how opposites attract and how two people will let their guard down to have their HEA with each other.
I was instantly invested with Sofia & Ozzie, their chemistry was strong and I enjoyed how Sofia finally spoke to her brothers about how she was feeling.
Can't wait to start reading Nikki's series The Dark Kings who's characters we met in this series.

Beautiful
Abs beautifully written. Absolutely love Sofia and Ozzie book. Not much drama and not your typical mafia book. Her brothers and mafia cousin mace appearances but didn't over power the book. He is a billionaire and she hates money. Secrets are revealed and loyalty is questioned. Great book.

Really enjoyed this book of the three in the series (I hope it's not the last).
Funny, intriguing, and drama filled.
Want to see more of Dante and the mysterious Valentina as well as Micah & Izzy along with Luca, Bella, and Jenny (could she be crushing on Marco?)

This was a great story. I just wish that there was more to it. I felt that the story was too short. But all in all I loved it.
