This is a well written book with strong characters in Magnus and Cassie. The author does a great job building the story as she brings them together. It's an older man/younger woman mafia romance filled with drama, action and a sizzling romance. She moves the story fluidly with her descriptive scenes and delivers another terrific read. I loved reading their story and as usual , I loved the extended epilogues.

I enjoyed this book by Flora Ferrari. It was a sweet, older man/younger woman romance. Add in that Magnus is Cassie's dads best friend, it makes it all the better. It was a short, insta-love story with a happy ever after. Highly recommend it.

She is just stunning and then he finds out that she is his best friend’s daughter this is going to get complicated. Cassandra a.k.a. Cassie Knew as soon as she stepped into the room her attraction to Magnus is firing on all cylinders. Her father had never really been there for her or her mum choosing his work over his family. Yes she loves him but it wasn’t gonna stop her from getting her man. Magnus was going back to his family home which he was trying to decide whether to sell or keep so he decided to take Cassandra with him for a few days. And it was obvious when they spend time alone together that they were meant to be. But Were they safe together ?? would Cassandras father except what was happening?? Wow this is so exciting they can’t stop The Feelings and they go straight For one another. It is amazing how quickly and how deep these two feel for each other. The chemistry is off the charts it is like they can’t keep their hands off one another. But when there is danger who will protect who?? There is a little twist in the story but it was one addictive.

Just ok for me. I don’t expect too much of the KU insta love stories, but this seemed to be lacking for me. Maybe I have read too many lately and I am just getting burned out. I have read other stories by this author and found them satisfying.
First of all I do like age gaps, virgin heroines, no cheating, and epilogues. This has all of it. However it also has a criminal element (not something I enjoy usually)to it although our hero seems to only work with criminals as kind of a mediator/enforcer(honestly I’m not really clear on it)Yet, there was no discernible angst. The tense moment in the book I saw way ahead of time. Everything moved along very predictably. I felt at times the characters were trying to fill in the blanks by telling me instead of having the story unfold naturally. In addition to this the story seemed to go on and on after the tense moment in the book. Like I said, I’m an epilogue junkie yet one epilogue 5 years in the future would have been fine, I didn’t need the extras this time. Anyhoo, if you are looking for a quick insta love story that is sweet for the most part then this will be your cuppa!
Cassandra was little when her parents got divorced and since then she only saw her dad once a year. Now that she’s older he asked her to visit and H’s mother offered her the job of H’s assistant. The moment they see each other they fell. It doesn’t matter that he’s double her age or that her dad is like a brother to him.
Details: - OM/YW (h 22, H at least 2 decades older). - Virgin h. H only had women come and go in his life, nothing serious, just occasional hookups. The maid tells h that she has never seen OW but that she’s found brunette hairs in his bedsheets, and it’s not confirmed or denied if it’s true… Later the maid says that he never liked blondes, and again no comment about it. - No condom. - OW drama with the maid (he never was with the maid). - Epilogue 3 months later. Extended epilogues 1 year later, 3 years later and 1 year later.

Igniting The Hidden Flame - When Cassie went to work with her father, the last thing on her mind was that she would meet her soulmate and find her forever happiness. Magnus was happy living the bachelor life and concentrating on work, but his life took a different turn when his mother hired his best friend’s daughter to be his assistant.
Their chemistry was undeniable and spending time together makes them acknowledge what they are feeling. You will be swept up in the romance of their love journey and their steamy encounters will make you swoon, but green with envy.
One thing I categorically state is that you will never be disappointed with any of the books written by Flora Ferrari. I suggest you not only this book, but the entire ‘A Man Who Knows What He Wants’ series.

Cassie never had a real relationship with her father. He gave his full attention to his job. But she is out of college now and wants to get to know him. He invites her to visit and his boss, Magnus, offers her a job as his assistant.
Magnus is her father’s best friend. When Magnus and Cassie meet, the two of them already feel an attraction. Not expecting him to have an interest in her when he could have any woman he wanted, she gives in to her feelings for him and they begin a relationship. Will Magnus let her know the true depth of his feelings for her? Will they get a HEA? Or will there be some interference along the way that they may need to overcome?
This author’s stories consistently cause the reader to sigh in contentment as the relationship progresses. Be sure to read the epilogues. There is always something good in there for us!
I enjoyed this romance story with all of the characters. The two main characters were Cassie and Magnus.
Cassie had finished college and now she can spend more time with her father. That has not been around during her life because of his job. When he ask her to come visit she does so. But she never expected that her father's boss assistant would offer her a job there. So she takes the job. But when she meets the boss she surprised by his looks and how she reacts to him.
Magnus is a very mysterious man. He is quite wealthy and handsome. He wants to sell his father house that he inherited. But his mother doesn't want him to. So she hires a new secretary to distract him.
I had fun reading this short story. It has action and drama throughout. It was also a little bit steamy.
I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout. This is my honest unbiased opinions.
She wanted to brand herself to him like a tattoo and never let go This insta-everything love story is about Magnus and Cassandra. He’s just had a new assistant appointed to him, and it’s his right hand man at work and best friend Renner’s daughter. He’d of course heard of her before but hadn’t met her. He expected her to be a younger kid, but she was anything but that. He fell under her spell instantly, as did she under his. The attraction and chemistry frightens her a little, but it’s also comforting and all-encompassing – for both of them. It’s sweet, passionate and steamy. They seemed to be meant to be, no matter what… just who the other had been always waiting for. And I loved all of the epilogues. I give this book four and a quarter stars.

IN this book we meet Cassandra & Magnus. There is something going on that neither Cassandra or Magnus knows about, but Magnus is sure his mother is at the heart of it. What would you do if when learning about Magnus you find out you are not his type at all? Would you continue to pursue him or watch him from a far wishing it was you? This is what Cassandra has to decide when she is hired as Magnus's personal assistant. Though her father wants to now protect her, there are just some things he can't ever protect her from. Will these two find a HEA or will it all just have been an illusion?
Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Let's see here. Father's best friend. Older/younger. Office setting. Can we throw in any more taboos? I am not sure, but I am game to find out.
This is another insta-love romance from an author that specializes in them. As usual, the story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. I love the basic simplicity of the romance in that both parties know what they want and act on it. As usual, there are some obstacles to overcome, but when both parties want the same thing, we can shelve the angst and go right for the HEA. Overall, that works for me and produces another very enjoyable read.
Highly recommended.

Magnus is imposing and mysterious. When his mother first tells him he is getting a new assistant he is not happy, but then he meets Cassie, the daughter of his best friend and he immediately knows he wants her like he never wanted a woman before her. But he lives a dangerous life and Cassie just reconnected with her father. But Cassie also knows what she wants and when push comes to shove they would both die saving each other... The extended epilogues were amazing and special. Otherwise this story in the best sense is typical Flora Ferrari, great story, ott alpha and steamy.

Magnus and Cassie’s story has all the good things we can expect from a Flora Ferrari book - sweetness, smexxy fun times, a little drama that’s quickly resolved, and a man who goes after everything he wants while treating his woman like the queen he sees her as. This one did not disappoint! Cassie reconnects with her estranged father, only to start working for her father’s best friend. Magnus is the head of The Family, taking life far too seriously. The moment he meets his new employee, Cassie, he’s plotting the ways to make her his and take care of her forever. Taboo, fun, and super sweet!

Cassie regrets not getting to know her father when his career put a physical distance from him so when she has the opportunity to spend some time with him she can’t say no. She soon finds herself working for Magnus, who is his boss as well, which will change everything.
Magnus is a man of mystery but the one thing that is clear is that Cassie is the woman he is meant to spend his life wife. The only problem is that not everyone is happy they are together and will do whatever is necessary to keep them apart.
I really enjoyed the hot chemistry between them, how they don’t deny their feelings for each other and the suspense added another layer to the story.
I've read a lot of books written by Flora Ferrari; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
This is part of the A Man Knows What He Wants Series. She has written another great short story of an older man/younger woman romance; the story is well written. The story is about Cassie & Magnus; she’s just graduated from college; her father chose his job over her and her mom years ago so she never had the chance to get to know him and wants to change that and goes to see him. She gets offered a job as Magnus’s assistant; her dad’s boss and best friend.

When Cassie's father invites her to visit him she does. While there, Magnus and Cassie meet when his mother hires her to be his new assistant. There is an instant attraction between the two. Magnus worries what his friend, Renner's, reaction would be if he knew he was attracted to his daughter. Unbeknownst to them, their attraction to each other is going to have some dangerous results. I really loved this book. The characters chemistry sizzles. This book is filled with a little drama, danger, hot, steamy romance, and a few surprises along the way. I highly recommend this book.

When Cassie is hired as Magnus' assistant it's instalove for him. Cassie has feelings for him, too. Her youth and the fact that she's his best friend's daughter may complicate their decisions. There is also suspense and danger concerning Magnus' family business. This story has a good plot, descriptive worldbuilding details and intriguing characters. I like the simmering tension between the main couple, Cassie's bravery and the extended epilogues. The pages fly by in this older man/younger woman novella. Very entertaining!

Ms Flora has done it again with a delightful older alpha man and a younger woman. Magnus is Cassie's father's best friend and as soon as she meets Magnus when she starts working for him, the chemistry and attraction is immediately palpable. Magnus immediately knows that when he sees Cassie that she is the one and the mother of his future children. He doesn't care that she's younger or his best friend's daughter, he'll do anything to get and keep her. This is a lovely story to read, I enjoy reading Ms Ferrari's books

This one is a page-turner for sure. I did enjoy it from the start to the finish. I found that all the characters worked very well together and I had a fantastic connection with them as well. I didn't find any spelling mistakes or any holes in the plot of this story either. If you enjoy older men and younger women, this is one of the best stories I have read.
I can recommend this book to others that are over the age of 18+.

Oh, my! This story drew me in and made me feel so much in such a few pages. It contains so much love and desire with a little intrigue. The feelings between Magnus and Cassie are swoon worthy. Magnus's mom adds a lot of fun to the story. I love older men/younger women stories and this one definitely did not disappoint. I enjoyed the twist at the very end.

Cassie and Magnus meets when Cassie comes to stay with her long absent father. Magnus is her fathers best friend and they work together. At first Cassie is hired to work for Magnus and there is a mutual attraction. There is some drama and a couple surprises, but at the core it is another instant love story and it was a good story.

Her father works for a man named Magnus, who’s job is unclear and a bit sketchy. Cassandra got the job as Magnus’s assistant, and that is where they meet and feel an instant attraction.
This book was well written, with likable characters and a good storyline, with a small twist.

I enjoyed this quick love story about Cassie who after living with her mother for years is finally getting to spend some time with her dad. She never expected his friend Magnus to be the man of her dreams. The attraction is mutual and as soon as Magnus meets Cassie he knows she's his, the woman he will marry, the one he's been waiting for.
