Inked By Love #2
Inked By The Mafia Man
I’m the princess of the mob, the only surviving member after a gang war left me an orphan.
My aunt is desperate. Maybe that’s why she sold me.
My would-be husband is an evil man. He wants to hurt me because of something my parents did.
But then I meet a man, six and a half feet tall with a muscular body, intense, possessive eyes, and silver hair. He has a way of making me feel wanted.
He’s Luca Lucciano, the leader of the Lucciano mob, one of the most powerful and ruthless men in the city.
He kisses me. He does more than kiss me.
But he knows he can’t have me.
And even if he could…would he really want me after one night?
He’s forty-two and experienced. I’m a twenty-year-old virgin, living a sheltered life under the watch of my mean aunt.
Luca leaves me with a gift, a tattoo of a bird on my ankle.
“Think of me when you look at it. Think of this night. It’s freedom, Lena.”
I do, on my wedding night. I remember the passion I shared with Luca, and then I hear it.
A gunshot.
The guards are shouting.
Is Luca going to save me after all?

Losing her parents was devastating enough but finding out that her aunt has arranged her marriage to the man who killed them and intends to do her harm only makes it that much worse. Her friend convinces Luna that she deserves a night out before the ceremony, but she never expected to attract the attention of her fiancé’s biggest rival.
Luca is the head of the Lucciano family who never thought he would find the woman he was destined to be with until she walks into his club. From the moment he sees her he knows that she is meant to be his even if that mean reigniting the battle with his biggest rival.
The chemistry between them is intense, the suspense keeps you on edge, but it is the lengths that Luca is willing to go to so that he can protect Lena that makes their relationship so special.

This is a well written older man/younger woman, mafia romance with strong characters in Luca and Lena. The author brings drama, suspense, and danger along with the hot and steamy chemistry and fiery love. She moves the story fluidly with her vividly painted scenes and delivers a fantastic story. I loved reading their story , especially loved the epilogues.

I’ve read a lot of book written by Flora Ferrari; she is one of my favorite authors. This is the second book in the Inked by Love Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Lena & Luca; they have a one night stand and then he gets her a tattoo of a bird on her ankle and tells her when she looks at it to think of him and she does.

Buckle up this is a wild ride, dangerous men, alpha personified, possessive, oh, so gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a deliciously dark story 😊. In true Flora Ferrari style, the makings of a great a tamed mafia story there will be suspense, sleepless nights, bad judgement, plotting, secrets, lies, violence (tamed), hope, and maybe love.
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
This is the second book in the Inked By love series each book reads as a standalone with a similar plot line, a girl that needs saving, and oh, a sexy guy. Lena is so strong has been forced to deal with so much after the murder of her parents her aunt steps in to raise her until adult hood where she sells her to the man who murdered her entire family Corner is by no means a nice man, has several wives so marrying her legally isn’t happening and he only wants to hurt her for something her parents did to him. Luca sexy as all get out don of the Lucciano mob a kind man to most keeps the peace among the different families, has a tentative peace with Conor but he feels like he is missing something or someone that special person that makes him stop in his tracks and the moment he see her he knows he will be taking her from Conor possible starting a war but he isn’t going to allow her to be with a horrible man like him. The attraction from the moment he saves her or takes her (all in how you look at it 😊) he knows she is meant to be with him serving as his queen by his side and that will happen regardless of a possible war but him being older than her, more experienced than her, will she accept him as her king, will he get her away from Conor without a war, will she understand he will do what needs to be done to ensure her safety, and will they get their own HEA?.

Lena is the princess of the Bonetti family and the last member alive besides her aunt who wasn't involved in the family business. Her aunt took care of her after her parents death but never really showed her much love. Now her aunt has sold her to be the wife of Conor Dunne. Lena has no choice but to marry the man who either killed her parents or ordered it done. Her aunt is threatening and holding her beloved dog captive. Lena is not resigned to her future and agrees to go out with her best friend for one last night of freedom. They go to an exclusive mob party where Lena meets Luca Lucciano. Just one look and both fall instantly in love. Luca promises that he will arrange for Lena not to marry Conor and marry him instead. To symbolize her future freedom, he tattoos a bird in flight on her ankle. Conor will not give her up easily.
Luca was not meant to be the head of the Lucciano family. His dream was to become a tattoo artist like his mother but that dream ended when his father and older brother were murdered in front of him. Now he is the very successful leader of the family who has put an end to family wars in the city. Luca has never been involved with a woman because he is waiting for the woman who he feels an all-consuming need for. Just one look and he will know that she is his future. So far he has not found that woman. Then at a party he is hosting, he sees Lena and knows she is the one. He has no clue who she is at first but later it doesn't matter. He will do anything to make her his. He doesn't want to start another war but he will do what it takes to make Lena his.

Inked by the Mafia Man is the second installment of the Inked By Love series written by Flora Ferrari. This insta-love over-the-top mafia romance book is action-packed, highly entertaining, and filled with steamy romance that is absolutely swoon-worthy.
Luca Lucciano is head of the ruthless Lucciono mob. He is tall, handsome, intimidating, and very powerful. He’s never met a woman that he has felt a deep soulful connection with until a beautiful young woman walks into the party he’s attending. His heart flutters and he immediately knows he must woo her. The problem? He doesn’t realize the young woman is Lena Bonetti. She was sold by her heartless aunt to wed one of the most ruthless mafia dons, Conor. How far will Luca go to keep the only woman that has made him feel something?
Lena is a sweet and innocent heroine that is smart and likable. Her parents were murdered and her aunt made a deal with a mafia monster to sell her into marriage. She meets Luca and hopes he can be the one to set her free from her cage.
I devoured this book in one sitting. The storyline was exciting, the characters were well developed, and the chemistry between the two protagonists was off the charts. I love books where the hero is cold and callous but a big softy with his woman that he will do anything to protect.
Tropes: Insta-love, over-the-top, mafia, arranged/forced marriage, virgin heroine
Heat: 3/5
CW: Violence
No cheating, no cliffhanger, and happily-ever-after.

I loved Luca Lucciano and Lena Bonetti's love story.
Luca Lucciano, is the leader of the Lucciano mob, and is one of the most powerful and ruthless men in the city.
Lena Bonetti is the princess of the mob, the only surviving member after a gang war between the Italian and Irish mobs left her an orphan. Lena's aunt who raised her after the death of her parents has sold her to the Irish mob boss who killed her parents. The aunt wants financial comfort for her retirement and the Irish mob boss wants to make Lena's life a living hell by marrying her to punish her for crimes her parents did. Luca has heard about Lena and the upcoming wedding to Conor but has never met her. The day before the wedding Lena and her friend Izzy comes into his establishment and he sees her for the first time. There's instant chemistry when their eyes meet and he knows she's the one, the mother of his children only he doesn't yet know she's Lena Bonetti. He's frantic when he discovers who she is because she belongs to him and there's no way he will allow another man to touch her.
This is a great story and I was captivated within the first few pages, I couldn't put it down. The storyline and the main characters are good. It is captivating, well written with action, suspense, chemistry, heartwarming, steam, romance, emotional angst and a gentle love of an alpha male.
I loved that the epilogue was 6yrs and 11yrs later.
I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Another great book
Lena couldn’t believe that she was being forced to marry the man that killed her parents. Connor was an evil man and all he wanted to do was hurt her. When her friend takes her out for the night to let off some steam she is then asked to go and visit with Luca Lucciano. He is the leader of his mob and he keeps the city peaceful between the mobs.
Luca had never met the right woman. He didn’t waste his time on women that he didn’t feel that he wanted to have a family with. So when he saw the most beautiful woman downstairs enjoying the party he knew he had to meet her there and then so he sent one of his men down to retrieve her. I knew she was lying about her name but didn’t know why. She intrigued him and it wasn’t long until they were kissing. But then he found out her name and the war started between his head and his heart. He knew if he took her a war would begin with Connor but he also knew that he could not leave this beautiful stunning person to be one of his women. Connor would hurt her and he couldn’t bear that idea. So what would he do??
This is a fast paced book full of passion and login. It’s very emotional Lena going through the fear that Connor had put her through to the longing that she had for Luca. It was a nice feeling to read about a powerful man we lost to his heart to a good woman. a good read.

Luca is a Mafia man, through & through. Lately, he's been wondering what his life is all about. He is all work & he has nobody of significance in his life, apart from his cousin. He is at yet another party, but is soon bored - that's until a beauty walks in & completely captivates him.
Lena is a Mafia princess, whose parents were killed years ago & she had to live with an aunt - a person so heinous & manipulative, that Lena cannot escape. Her aunt has set her up to marry an awful & ruthless man from the Irish Mafia - the same man who killed her parents, but she has no choice.
When Luca sends a man to collect her, he waits in his office until she arrives. Lena is awestruck by Luca's frame & handsome good looks.
He tells her he will protect her & as such gives her a tattoo to signify their time together & hopefully her freedom.
What ensues is a wonderful, story that had me gripped & turning the pages quickly! It was fantastic to follow the characters through their story & to reach their HEA.
Well done Flora. I really look forward to more!

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a well written, ott, older man, mafia romance. Lena has lost so much and then been denied even more. Now she is being sold in marriage to the man of her nightmares. She wants to have one night of relief before the terror begins and finds that with Luca. He is the head of the Italian Family and has a necessary agreement with the man who bought her. These two find each other that night and the countdown is on. There are some twists and turns along with the rivalry, violence, betrayals and Family. Luca has a plan and no intentions of giving her up. This was a good book, written Flora's usual style. The mafia aspect and romance blended well together and kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed their story.

Instant love - is there such a thing? How does it happen? Luca sees Luna on the dance floor and has his men go down and bring her to his office. Luca sees that Luna is what he has been waiting for. Luca is instantly attracted to Luna and starts feeling things he has never felt before. Luna is wondering how she can feel these things when she has just met this man. The story is an instant love romance with a few twists and turns. Two people each asking the same question - how can I feel this passion and love for someone I just meet? They have such love and passion for each other. They have some complications to straighten out before they can be together and it makes for an interesting, action packed, entertaining read. It’s a true romance story with a little crazy thrown in. The dog was also a really nice touch.

Lena is upset over the way her life has turned out. Here she is being sold to the evil man that killed her parents. She goes to a party with her BFF, kind of a goodbye to her old life. Luca is at the same party. He has never found the one and gave up with even sleeping with women in his 20s. Then Lena walks through the door and he is instantly infatuated with her. When they meet she gives him a fake name. She wants to escape her life and just enjoy this time with him. He coaxes it out of her and is devastated that the one woman for him is marrying his enemy, who already has multiple wives. Luca tries to let it go because he doesn't want to start a war. But he can't. He needs Lena in his life. She is his. So he rescues her and brings down the Irish Mafia. The epilogues are excellent!

Another great story. Luca has just seen a woman walk into an exclusive mob club. Lena is out with a friend and taking advantage of her freedom before she's forced to marry Conor Dunne who has bought Lena from her aunt. When Luca sees Lena he knows that she's going to be the mother of his children. They meet. There is an instant connection between the Luca and Lena. When he finds out who she is he's going to find a way to free her from her marriage to the man who killed her parents in cold blood. The tattoo that Luca's put on Lena was a bird in flight which represents her future of freedom. This didn't have too much action, some drama, and some steam. Does Luca's free Lena from Conor and their marriage? Great HEA.

Great again a mafia story in the style of Ms Ferrari. This is the story of Luca and Lena when she has to marry a man who is evil because he wants to hurt her for what her parents did to her. She doesn't understand why her aunt sold her to the man who is dangerous.
But after she meets Luca and they share secret kisses and more, he knows he doesn't have her or is his and Lena knows she can't be his without both of them starting a mafia war. Luca is the leader of the Lucciano mob and they are dangerous. The main characters and their characters were amazing, containing danger, drama, action, suspense, as well as romance and passion, chemistry and attraction. This story is definitely worth reading!

Snatched From Despair -
Luca had put finding love on the back burner because of whom he was, but the moment he laid eyes on Lena, he realised she was the reason for his existence. Lena’s life since her parents death had been tough, but she soon realised family didn’t mean safety. Fortunately, fate brought Luca into her life and they embarked on a treacherous journey to a life of happiness.
I went through so many emotions whilst reading this book, but I was still happy that I read it. It had a mixture of darkness, sweetness, action and romance, that had me hooked on the story from the first page. This book deserves a five star rating and recommendation.

I loved this story. Flora’s Mafia romances are some of my favorites.

I really enjoyed Lena and Lucas story. It is a mob story, but with a softer story line. They first meet when Lena enters Lucas club, he is the Don of an italian mafia and she is the daughter of a respected mafia man who was killed several years ago. Now she is being sold, by her aunt, to the irish mafia man who killed her parents. The night before she is to be handed over to him, she goes to the club with her best friend, and there Luca sees her and wants her. It is an instant attraction on both sides, but with them being who they are and who she is being sold to, there are complications in their path to each other.

I definitely enjoyed Inked By The Mafia Man by Flora Ferrari. After the murder of her parents, Mafia princess Lena Bonnetti is sold to the man responsible for their deaths. She feels trapped with no way out and she also knows her intended groom intends to do her harm. But then she meets rival Don Luca Lucciano sees her at one of his clubs and he realizes one thing. She belongs to him and no one else. He is forced to let her leave but not before he puts his mark on her in the form of a tattoo on her ankle. He is determined to think of a way to take her without starting another mob war. Awesome read! Definitely a page turner.

Will he save Lena or just ink her heart forever
Inked By The Mafia Man is the second book in the Inked By Love series and I found it to be an entertaining read. I realized quickly that I just needed to suspend my belief, which is usual when reading an insta-love story by Flora Ferrari. But this story takes a few turns that I was not quite expecting as it gets to the older possessive alpha man and virginal young woman getting their HEA. I found the story to be a bit longer than anticipated and sort of drawn out, not as tight as I would have preferred. But overall I did like the story and the characters as a lite Mafia romance.

you know when certain words are used too much?
Inked by the mafia man was OK. It was a quick book with a short, Insta love, predictable plot. I’m sure others have shared the gist of the story. It was fine, but certain quirks started to really bother me. The author had a tendency to overuse the word “helm” in reference to the MMC‘s male member. Also, she kept using the word “whelm.” I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where the author used the word whelm before. I mean there’s overwhelm, but whelm just seems weird. The author must’ve used it at least six times. It got to the point where I was considering a drinking game.

I was not sure about reading this book at first; Mafia/arranged marriage is not my usual trope. However, when I realized who the author was, I HAD to read it. I was so glad that I did. This book was fantastic!
Luca is the Don of the Italian mafia. Lena is promised to the leader of the Irish mafia, Connor. Luca and Lena meet a couple of days before her “marriage” to Connor. The both feel the pull to each other.
This was an exciting book that held my attention the whole time. I truly enjoyed reading this book!.
