Sexy Filthy Boss (White Collar Brothers #1) He’s the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.
I’m the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.
The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm’s history and there’s a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.
t doesn’t take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed… late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.
No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.
But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don’t stop peeling, I’m going to lose everything, including my dignity.
Dirty Flirty Enemy (White Collar Brothers #2) He’s the arrogant Manhattan realtor with billboards advertising his six-pack more than his expertise in negotiations.
I’m the competing broker who stupidly moved across the hall from his office.
From day one, I’ve been his sworn enemy. Okay, so I might have accidentally stolen one of his clients. Well, is it stealing if the client comes to me?
Even our vicious banter and loathing gazes can’t hide the chemistry between us. Who can blame me? He has enough charisma to make every hot-blooded woman in the city melt with a single word.
Just when I think a mutual respect could be born between us, the biggest developer in the city offers us an opportunity that pits us against each other.
Time to forget Carmelo Mancini’s dreamy eyes and tight abs.
Game on.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up (White Collar Brothers #3) It was never my plan to wake up in a Vegas hotel room as Dominic Mancini’s WIFE. The man has brought me nothing but heartache since I was sixteen.
At least we agree on one thing—a quickie annulment and we can both get on with our lives. I can go back to teaching little girls to dance and he can go back to making millions on Wall Street.
But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. It follows you right into an ambush by your Italian Mamas who deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.
So, we do what any good Italian kids would do. We secretly agree to pretend to give marriage a try.
But our easy solution morphs into a convoluted mess and leaves us wondering—is it safe to bet on each other?
Rock, Paper, Santa (White Collar Brothers #3.5) In this ensemble cast holiday novella the competition between the brothers is still at an all-time high. Join the Mancini’s and their lady loves at the Santa Run in Central Park and attend a swanky fundraiser afterward.

I LOVED that there was a flash forward titled Rock, Paper, Santa at the end to show how all of their lives are going. Each character had their own perspective, which was a perfect way to do it. Plenty of happiness and some heartbreak over the years, but one thing is for sure ~ family is everything for them and their bond is unbreakable.
*Thanks to Piper Rayne and Valentine PR for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
5 Star Review White Collar Brothers by Piper Rayne Filthy Boss - This series is about the Mancini brothers who are cousins of the Bianco brothers from their successful Blue Collar series. Book one is Lorenzo "Enzo" Mancini’s story and what a story it is. He constantly has issues keeping assistants, so when Annie Stewart is asked to fill in after his latest assistant leaves, she is wary. If Enzo can pull off his latest deal, he will make partner and Annie will get her promotion, the only issue is to get either, they will have to work closely together. Enzo is totally focused on his work, could Annie be the woman to make him slow down and slowly but surely chip away at the walls he has surrounded himself with Dirty Flirty Enemy - Book two in the series and is Carmelo “Carm” Mancini’s story. Bella is the woman who unknowingly steals his client and from then on it’s war. The chemistry between Carm and Bella is smoking hot, intense and almost impossible to ignore. Carm is totally focused on his work as a realtor, even more focused on beating competing broker Bella, but what happens when the attraction becomes to much to ignore? I loved how fiercely Bella stands up for herself, not afraid and not backing down to Carm, she is totally awesome and I would happily have her as a friend. There was so many laugh out loud moments and Dirty Flirty Enemy is a great example of romantic comedy at it’s finest. Wild Steamy Hook- Up - The third book in the series is Dominic and Valentina (Val) Daniella Sommerland’s story, a second chance at love story. I will admit that there were times that I wanted to smack some sense in to Dom. Val has been in love with Dom since she was 16 and despite their hook-ups, she has always believed that she and Dom would make a future together one day. Pity Dom doesn’t feel the same way. The chemistry between Dom and Val is intense and impossible to ignore. They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas but what happens when a drunken night of passion ends in a marriage neither expected, or do they? Can they get an annulment or divorce before their families find out? Neither Dom or Val count on the interference of their families and I found myself laughing when their mothers played the “Italian” guilt trip card. The miss communication and misunderstandings between Dom and Val lead to several frustrating and at times humorous moments but through it all the chemistry blazed. Will Dom and Val learn from their past mistakes?
Rock, Paper, Santa - An added bonus novella that gave us the opportunity to catch up with the couples and see where they are now and what has been happening. I loved it and was so excited to see what these fun couples have had going on in their lives.
Thank you to Valentine PR for this ARC ! I've hear of this author but this was the first book I've read. And I went through this box set in a few days. I loved the writing it has an easy flow to it.
Sexy filthy boss is of course an office romance 🥰 which is my favorite trope ever. I really enjoyed this one
Dirty Flirty Enemy is enemies to lovers I do think this one needs trigger warnings. I wasn't expecting it and it was a little surprising and I didn't like it. But overall this book was great ! I love the ending and how their ending together is 🥰
Wild Steamy Hookup This book it hot 🥵 second chance romance, fake marriage. Single mom.
Sexy Filthy Boss Sexy Filthy Boss is a good read. Annie is a hard worker. She's sassy and stands up for herself. She hoping for a promotion. Enzo is a senior ad exec. He's kind of the jerky guy at work. He can't keep an assistant. Annie works under another ad exec but she gets roped into filling as Enzo's assistant when his newest assistant quits. Annie and Enzo work great together on a pitch, and the boss reassigns Annie to be Enzo's assistant. Enzo may come off as a jerk at times, but he's really a sweet guy. I loved his family. His brothers are a fun bunch. We get to see Annie's family too and all but her mom are great. I loved these two together. They struggle with work relationships and outside work relationships. I loved that Enzo stepped up when it counted. Sexy Filthy Boss is book one in the White Collar Brothers series but there isn't a cliffy. This is Enzo Mancini and Annie Stewart's story. The next book in the series will cover a different Mancini story, and I'll definitely be reading that one too.
Dirty Flirty Enemy Dirty Flirty Enemy is book two in the White Collar Brothers series. It can be read as a standalone. This story is Carmelo Mancini (Carm) and Bella's story. If you read Sexy Filthy Boss, then you already meet Carm, and you'll also be happy to know that Enzo and Annie make appearances in this one too. Carm is a big-time real estate broker. He's sexy, funny, and definitely swoon-worthy. Bella is smart and sexy. I liked her. She's in real estate too, and has an office in the same building as Carm. Bella isn't a real estate broker; instead, she has a For Sale by Owner Company. She and Carm don't start off on the right foot; they see each other as competition. They don't stay enemies very long. These two have great chemistry. Towards the end, it took a little serious side and what happened surprised me. Overall this one was a good read.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up Wild Steamy Hook-Up is book three in the White Collar Brothers series. It can be read as a standalone. The series follows the Mancini brothers, and this one is Dominic's story. Dominic and Val have a past, and their relationship is complicated. This one is a heart-string puller. There are also fun times in the story too. I fell in love with the Mancini brothers in the first book and I was waiting for Dominic's story and his story didn't disappoint.
Rock, Paper, Santa I loved this one. It's a short quick read but well worth the read. We get updates on all the brothers and their girls in this one.
I love Piper Rayne's swoony, sexy family centered stories, so I was super excited to check out this series and see how they bring their dreamy, steamy fun to these Mancini brothers. As always, Piper Rayne creates a world full of charming characters, charming antics, steamy moments, and all the swoony feelings. Yet another fun and fulfilling romantic escape!
Sexy Filthy Boss: (4 stars) I love a good alpha, difficult boss - and Sexy Filthy Boss gives us that in Enzo. Annie finds herself working for this difficult man, filling in as his assistant after he’s gone through a string of others. But the stakes are even hirer as a lucrative promotion is in store for BOTH of them if they work together to land a big client. Surprisingly, they work super well together, and a huge sexual tension starts to blossom. Oh, and one other issue- the company doesn’t look kindly on employee-boss relationships.
This was a fun, sexy read. Overall, the pace started a bit slow for me, but I also was new to these characters/this world so I appreciated the chance to get my bearings. The chemistry in this was more lusty/physical than the emotional I’ve loved in the Bailey/Greene series, but I still enjoyed Enzo and Annie together.
LIke many other books by these authors, in addition to our core characters, we have quite a bit of ensemble action. I normally love this about their stories (I love for the granny fun in the Greene/Bailey stories), but I did find myself more distracted by the secondary characters than attached to them- I wanted a bit more couple focus.
The ending was a bit fast for me (after a slow beginning), and Annie comes across as a bit wishy washy. I did really like how Enzo was a firm and demanding boss but not cruel (this is not the Devil Wears Prada type thing), and I also appreciated how we have some honesty about the challenges women face in male-dominant work places.
All in all, a steamy, fun, and quick read from the delightful PIper Rayne. I’ve not read the Blue Collar Brothers, but I think I’d love to check it out and meet some of these other characters.

Dirty Flirty Enemy: More Mancini brothers! Here in a enemies to lovers story that's full of banter and sass. We get Carm's story- the delicious playboy, businessman, and charmer. He's devoted to his business and profession, though he knows how to have a flirty good time. Enter Bella- who is also focused on her career. She's driven and ambitious- and also just so happens to be opening her office across the street from Carm's- cue all the business rivalry that turns into a sizzling chemistry and actually a quite stable mutual respect.
We have lots of humor and heat in this one- and we also have more serious moments as well as we figure out what makes these characters tick. Another great Mancini brother story- chock full of PR charm.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up Dom and the elusive Val!! I was so excited for this final book in the trilogy, so curious just what the story is with the remaining single brother Dom and his childhood, first love Val. Some Vegas shenanigans result in an unexpected marriage- and as they try to figure out just how to dissolve this unexpected union, these two longing lovers have to confront their past feelings and baggage.
This one was definitely the angtiest of the bunch, in part because both characters can be quite frustrating. These two are very hard headed and scared to open up to each other, but I love their HEA. And I loved the ensemble involvement- classic PR family fun. And so happy all the Mancini brothers finally have their happy ending.
Steam up your Kindle with this collection of Mancini brother romances. They're hot, they're gorgeous, they're rich and they're trouble on a stick. Included in this box set are Sexy Filthy Boss , Dirty Flirty Enemy , Wild Steamy Hook-Up and Rock, Paper, Santa. Hours of steamy reading that's guaranteed to set your Kindle on fire. Great characters and steamy story lines. I read an advance copy via Grey's promotions an voluntarily chose to review it.
White Collar Brother : The Complete Series is a box set with the original three books with an added novella catching up with the brothers and their families at Christmas and it’s a set that I struggled to put down. I was captivated from the first page as I fell hard and fast for the Mancini brothers. Filthy Boss: Book one introduces us to Lorenzo ( Enzo) Mancini and Annie Stewart and boy do they have a tale to tell. Enzo can’t keep an assistant so when Annie is asked to help out as he has a big deal that could see him making partner has her doubting she will be the assistant to last but if he makes partner she will hopefully get her own promotion so she jumps in and gives it her best shot. What follows is an entertaining, fun read as this couple skirt around their feelings so will Annie be the the woman to show Enzo love really exists…. Dirty Filthy Enemy: Book two gives us Carmelo ( Carm) Mancini and Bella’s journey and from the moment these two find themselves working in the same building sparks fly and not always in a good way. Carm is focused on business and nothing will get in his way but what happens when he is put in direct competition with Bella for the real estate deal of a lifetime will either of them give in and accept relationships should always come first. Bella is strong and sassy but the chemistry this couple share is hard to ignore and that means the love bug has hit the second Mancini boy. Wild Steamy Hook Up: This is the last Mancini brother Dominic and Valentina (Val) Daniella Sommerland’s second chance at love. Val and Dom have hidden their feelings for each other for so long, they have shared hookups since she was sixteen years old and deep down Val has always hopped they would end up together but she never expected to wake up after a hookup in Vegas with a wedding ring on her finger and more importantly she never expected the families to convince her to give their marriage a go. What happens in a Vegas should stay in Vegas unless you come from a good Italian family so will this couple get a HEA or will they continue to dance around each other. Rock, Paper, Santa: this is the perfect novella to add to this wonderful boxset, it sees the families getting together for Christmas and it lets us know just what’s happening with Mancini boys and their families. I loved everything about this series, I fell hard and fast for the men and I adored the woman that brought them to their knees. I laughed, I swooned and at time’s I screamed as I was taken on a journey of love, passion and plenty of laugh out loud moments. I’m surprised I never read this series when it was released and I’m certainly going to be reading this boxset again because I can’t get enough of the Mancini clan. If you love romantic comedy this is a must read!!!!!
I first read PR's Blue Collar series a few years ago, which was where I met Enzo and his brothers, as they make cameo appearances. Enzo in particular had me hooked and when I found out the Mancini brothers had their own books, i immediately jumped to read them. When I saw that PR were making the series into a boxset, I was looking forward to getting the chance to reread. And I enjoyed them just the same -although, I must admit, the first time I read the books, I actually DNF'd Dom's because I wasn't a fan of Valentina.
I'll do a short review (I hope), for each individual book, and then I'll give me overall opinion. :) WSH's review will be longer though bc I have thoughts.
Sexy Filthy Boss: I love Annie and Enzo as a couple, these two are my favourites of the series. Annie is strong-willed and so cute at times and Enzo definitely has the hot businessman thing going. There are parts of this where he's being a pig-headed idiot for want of a better name lol, but overall he's a commitment-phobe that turned into a sweetheart and i love his admission towards the end when he knows he's messed up!
"I know my actions are far from showing that right now, and I get I was being selfish, but you're the first women to ever make me feel whole."
It makes a change from a H messing up and 'grovelling' but not really accepting he did wrong without listing a bunch of reasons for it! Plus the way he is so whipped once they're together, and doesn't even care if his brother's mock him for it, is so cute! And whenever these guys had to play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors throughout the series, I could not stop laughing at how Enzo tried to back out if it was for something important lmao.
Dirty Flirty Enemy: DFE is Carm's book, the youngest of the Mancini brothers! Known as the flirt, he expects women to know the drill in regards to his ONS policy due to his work schedule and lack of time for anything else.
"Enough. Let's talk about me now."
On the outside, Carm is just another playboy who doesn't care how he might come off towards women in particular. And given Bella Scott is at the top of his shit list, he doesn't exactly set out to be friendly towards her. But when Annie gives it to him straight, it was sweet to see him try change that.
"Annie said earlier I was a douche, and I'm not, so I'm trying to show you I'm not."
I loved the development of Carm and Annie's friendship too. I wish we could see them later down the line because i can just imagine them ganging up on Enzo.
Given Bella's past though, and the way Carm continuously tries to knock down her job, I can see why she's hesitant to give in to his advances. And honestly, I'm so glad that she doesn't immediately. Bella loves being independent and knows how to keep her head about her. I especially loved when she made Carm continue to use condoms initially because it always bugs me when almost as soon as a couple gets together, the girl is just happy for the guy to go without protection, even if she's on birth control.
These two remain my second favourites of the series. Whilst enemies-to-lovers is my fave trope and i loved those vibes that they gave us, it was also really sweet to see these two in a relationship, even if they didn't want to admit that's what it was.
Wild Steamy Hook-up: Dom and Val are a second chance romance with so many 'right person, wrong time' moments. When I first read Carm's book, i remember being super intrigued by the mystery person Dom was spending his time with. Given that Val is a new character in this book though, we didn't have much to go on, but like I said earlier, I just wasn't drawn to her character like I was with Annie and Bella and I ended up DNF'ing the book the first time. Although, when rereading, I realised I had gotten through quite a bit of the book before DNF'ing, to be fair.
I think part of my disappointment with this book had to do with the constant back and forth between the two and the lack of trust. And to be fair, whilst some of the things Dom was saying or thinking were really sweet, it did put him in to fuckboy territory.
"I'll always want the world for you, whether it involves me or not."
But, my main issue, as I've said, is because I didn't love Val's character. Whilst I get why she was annoyed with Dom for his lack of commitment, I don't ever feel like she was really all in either and I agreed with Dom when he said the line:
'She wants me to fight for her? Yeah, well, she should try the same sometime.'
No once did we ever really see Val fight for Dom, and I didn't like that all the blame was getting placed on him when she didn't even seem like she could really fully decide on whether she wanted to be with Dom or Max. I get that she had Ryder to consider (who was cute and I kinda hoped he'd get his own book), but it just felt a bit wishy washy to me. Plus, it really bugged me that she kept churning out how she was a capable woman who was independent blah, blah, blah. Yet, most of what she had was from Max's money. Now, girl, if your husband has screwed you over and is offering to pay for things in the divorce process, go ahead and take it. I have no problems with that. But I kind of got the impression that she was making her success and Ryder's upbringing to be all on her, yet Max did play a fair part, which he reminds her of.
Likewise, it annoyed me with the way Val reacted about Nel. The first time she saw what was happening, she understood what game she was trying to play. But then all of a sudden, the second time, she just automatically goes at Dom without giving him chance to explain, even though he'd never really lied to her before.
My favourite part of this book, however, has to be Gia and Dom bonding! When he tells her he'll come to the recital, I think I almost fell off my bed with the cuteness overload haha.
"Because he'll get all the attention. Like when my other brothers were born. No one will be at my recital." ... "I'll come."
And the way she was about to get so upset when she thought he had changed his mind! *sobs*
This was definitely my least favourite of the three books though. Which I'm really disappointed about because I did like Dom's character, especially in the other books, and I was looking forward to his story but.. I don't know, I kind of wish he'd had a different storyline instead of second chance. Also... Idk if this was a plot hole or what but I'm sure at one point, when Dom and Val are in Chicago for Luca's wedding, it's mentioned that Val had been to the Bianco's house before but I don't really understand why she would have even if she was close with the Mancini's when she was younger? I know I certainly wouldn't have a friend just randomly come with me to visit my cousins in a different city, which I would have to take a plane trip for.
Overall: I would rate SFB 4*, DFE 3.8* and I'd probably rate WSH as 3.5*.
In general, I did like this series, and even though some of the actual writing style could have been improved and parts felt a bit... archaic with some of the opinions/views that were being presented, the series overall made me laugh and endeared me to most of the characters. I liked seeing cameo's from the Blue Collar series and I loved the sibling relationships as I thought they were shown really well throughout and were very realistic instead of cringe-worthy! Plus, props to PR for giving each book different tropes. Even though the brothers were very similar in a lot of ways, they still came across as their own characters and not just repeats of one another. Likewise, all the female's had different personalities too.
I had actually been wanting to reread both series for a while now, so this boxset allowed me to do so, and I had already restarted SFB back in August. I'll probably continue to reread that one, and most likely I'll go back to DFE a few times too, but unfortunately, I don't think WSH will be much of a repeat read for me.
I liked the little novella that we got at the end too. I think that may have been additional content just for the boxset, but I'm not 100% sure. But it was nice to see the couples later down the line and dealing with some realistic marriage issues.
Plus I will definitely be checking out Blanca's book at some point! When I first read this series I wondered if the lone Mancini sister would get a book, but for some reason I just never realised that it was 'My best friend's ex,' maybe because it's classed as part of another series? I'm not sure. But I will hopefully be reading that soon as I'd like to know more about her story and would also love to see the relationship with her brothers from her perspective. Also, shout-out to Dom for recognising she's an adult now and including her in the weekly lunches. I feel like that was such an underrated scene in the book!
*ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
*WCB is a boxset of 3 interconnected standalones. The books can be read out of order, however I would recommend reading them in the correct order for a more enjoyable experience.

What I liked most about this collection is that you can read each brother's story in one place. I had not had the opportunity to read them separately and thanks to Valentine pr and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review I was able to enjoy this book. With Sexy Filthy Boss we have an office relationship that starts out a bit like enemies to lovers. Annie is forced to work as Enzo's assistant during the presentation of an advertising campaign, thanks to Annie's ideas they are forced to work together and the chemistry between them begins to be noticed. I liked that Annie was adamant about standing out for her and Enzo's own means that she knows how to put her in her place. With Dirty Flirty Enemy we have the rivalry between Carmelo and Bella, who are forced to meet in the hallway since their offices are on the same level. Their interactions and the way they both swear to hate each other is one of the best things in the book. And finally with Wild Steamy Hook-up, we get a crazy night in Vegas that ends with a marriage that both Dominic and Val try to hide since their family has tried to get them both together. Dominic and Val's path was not easy as they both share a past full of bad decisions that they try to forget but that catch up with them. His story was my favorite, what I liked the most was the interactions between their family and the way that Dominic gets Val back. The novella is a glimpse into their future, all the characters in the series have a chapter where you can see what happened to them and the laughter is not lacking with the competitiveness of the Mancini brothers. A good collection to read all the books in a row and fall in love with the brothers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lo que más me gustó de esta colección es que puedes leer la historia de cada hermano en un solo lugar. No había tenido la oportunidad de leerlos por separado y gracias a Valentine pr y a la autora por esta ARC a cambio de una reseña honesta pude disfrutar de este libro. Con Sexy Filthy Boss tenemos una relación de oficina que comienza un poco como un enemies to lovers. Annie es forzada a trabajar como la asistente de Enzo durante la presentación de una campaña publicitaria, gracias a las ideas de Annie son forzados a trabajar juntos y la quimica entre ellos comienza a hacerse notar. Me gustó que Annie se mantuviera firme en cuanto a destacar por sus propios medios y de Enzo que sabe darle su lugar. Con Dirty Flirty Enemy tenemos la rivalidad de Carmelo y Bella, quienes son forzados a encontrarse en el pasillo ya que sus oficinas están en el mismo nivel. Sus interacciones y la manera en la que ambos juran odiarse es de las mejores cosas del libro. Y finalmente con Wild Steamy Hook-up, tenemos una noche loca en las Vegas que termina con un matrimonio que tanto Dominic y Val tratan de ocultar ya que su familia ha tratado de que ambos esten juntos. El camino de Dominic y Val no fue fácil ya que ambos comparten un pasado lleno de malas decisiones que tratan de olvidar pero que los alcanzan. Su historia fue mi favorita, lo que más me gustó fueron las interacciones de la familia de ambos y la forma en la que Dominic recupera a Val. La novella es un vistazo a su futuro, todos los personajes de la serie tienen un capitulo en donde puedes ver qué fue de ellos y las risas no faltan con la competitividad de los hermanos Mancini. Una buena colección para leer todos los libros seguidos y enamorarte de los hermanos.

Review:
Sexy Filthy Boss: Annie and Enzo work together (not directly) in the same ad company. Annie is an assistant, but she is waiting to have an opportunity to grow in her job. This opportunity arises and she has to work with the man who can’t seem to keep an assistant, Enzo. However, when they start spending more time together she gets to see that he was not the rude alphahole she imagined him to be. The two of them together are great and I loved the loving side of Enzo. Totally a workplace romcom worthy reading.
Dirty Flirty Enemy: Carm and Bella don’t like each other even before they have ever met. In the previous book we usually see Carm referring to her as she-devil, so, in the beginning of their story they are usually fighting, flirting or both. Carm was the charming player who didn’t want to have a relationship and Bella wanted one, so it wasn’t easy for them to get to an agreement and it took me time to connect with this couple. The very end made me like them more.
Wild steamy hook-up: the older of the three brothers is the last one to find his HEA with his childhood sweetheart. Their book was the most dramatic from the three of them. If not for the secondary characters to bring some levity to it, the book would be about two people who had a past relationship that ended badly and how they couldn’t overcome the past and build a future together. As long as I love a groveling at the end, I didn’t think it should come from Dom, but from Val.
Anyways, getting these three stories together in only one book is something you won’t want to miss. All the three brothers are great in their own way.
*** I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ***
I received this free eARC boxset from the author and Valentine PR. This is my honest review.
I am very happy I was able to get this boxset and binge through it - and I did it so fast! There may be 3 books in here, but it took me no time at all to get through them because they are easy, fun reads that had me wanting to know how each story ended. My individual reviews I wrote for each book are below, but I really enjoyed this series and am always on the lookout for more by Piper Rayne!
Sexy Filthy Boss (#1): I am slowly making my way through Piper Rayne's novels and when I saw this series as a box set, I couldn't say no. I flew through this book. Lately I haven't been able to read a book in one sitting, but that's exactly what happened with Enzo and Annie's story. I got sucked into their whirlwind romance and really enjoyed it from start to finish!
I really love Annie. She had to make a lot of tough decisions about her career vs. her moral opinions. I definitely think she chose right, but I loved the way she went out fight for what she believed in.
I'm very intrigued to see how Dom and Carm fall and since I have the box set I'm diving right in!
Dirty Flirty Enemy (#2): Yet another great, fast read for me! I love how I get sucked into these stories and really get emerged into these characters.
Carm is great. He was the slick, bit judgmental little brother in book 1, but I loved seeing him fall hard for Bella. The longer they avoided their attraction, the more obsessed he became about Bella. And I fully expect Enzo to make fun of him more since Carm nagged at him so much.
Bella is great. She went through a really traumatic event in her past but you never would have guessed seeing her now. I love how kind she is but kept thinking she needs to grow a back bone and say no when she wants to say no. She's a people pleaser for sure, but seeing her go head to head with Carm was fantastic.
I am very intrigued to see what Dom's story is after this ending, and will be diving in right away!
Wildy Steamy Hook-Up (#3): Oh, Dominic. I did love him, but man did he have to be the the most stubborn man on earth? I don't know how Valentina was able to keep her cool throughout all of those years - my anger would have been going through the roof from day one, and this went on for 16+ years!!!
Valentina is a saint, I tell you, dealing with the ups and downs of Dom for that long. She was so brave and determined to try to make the best of things when it didn't go according to plan, and she dotes on her son so much.
I just wanted to bash the heads together of these two through most of the book, though. You can tell they love each other, but the EXCUSES they had were ridiculous and so frustrating for me. Just talk to each other!!
Anywho, I love this family and these stories, and I'm so glad I got the chance to read it! Looking forward to more by this author duo!!
A new series that will have you so intrigued you not have enough patience to wait for the next. Enzo is so arrogant, sexy & that mouth, will have have you fanning yourself. The snark, the back & forth games make this story a wonderful read. I couldn’t keep myself from turning page, after page just wondering what was going to happen next. I knew he would eventually put his foot in his mouth, but it was a complete shocker & unexpected. The chemistry is written so well mixed in with the snark, I enjoyed the characters & wanted more of their story. I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
Dirty Flirty Enemy
This book was so much fun! Their banter was hilarious & their chemistry was off the charts hot!! Carm was arrogant & a jerk often, but he was sweet & charming underneath all of it. Bella was strong & independent, but the list she feels for her work neighbor is so entertaining. I really enjoyed this story. An enjoyable read from beginning to end. I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up
was so excited for Dom’s book, but was a little disappointed. The crazy night that makes them do something they may regret, but it made for an entertaining storyline. The family involvement & the way they pour on the guilt made the story. The immaturity of Dom caused some aggravation throughout. At times I felt like throwing my tablet & even talked out loud wondering why Dom was such a butt!! Val was just as aggravating at times, just not as often as Dom. It was so realistic the way these 2 lack on communication, but it didn’t pull me in as much as the other stories. A good, fun read. I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
Rock, Paper, Santa This was a quick read, but a great look into the future of these couples. We got a bit of realistic topics mixed with the beautiful romance we love. A fun & lovable look at these characters a few years later. I highly recommend this book & series. Told in multiple POV.
I loved this series! Enzo, Carm and Dom’s stories are everything you can imagine. Out of all the 3 brothers I have to say my favorite was Enzo.
Enzo and Annie’s story was my favorite, their chemistry and how they work together was everything I hoped for and how it touches a topic that is well known in today’s world brought it home for me. Specially Enzo’s reaction and how he took matters into his own hands.
Carm and Bella’s story was good, and I knew Carm was going to be a romantic deep down by the way he talked to his brothers and his flirting. I loved how their loved evolved and how supporting Carm was with Bella. These 2 has a totally different relationship and I loved the topic it brought and how it was worked.
Now, Dom and Valentina’s story broke my heart! OMG DOM!!!! He was everything you expect him to be with 1000% Italian stubborness (is that even word? Lol). He refuses to show his vulnerability and that had me wanting to strangle him (yes I know! Dom brought some tears and rage out of me) But when he got his head out of A** he was all in. I had some issues with Val, because she couldnt get her head straight and put her pants on and take the bull by the horns (I know lots of methapors here) but these two’s story was heart break but once everyone got their priority straight they were both in for the ride.
Overall I loved this series, all 3 brothers had their charm. Worth every page.
I cant pick my favorite character in this book. I loved everyone😭 The Mancini Brothers are EVERYTHING. At the beginning yes they all had commitment issues but after they realize how good life is with their partners they all became big loveable teddy bears. This book was very family oriented it kinda made you feel like you were a part of their family too.
Enzo and Annie's book was a secretary/boss romance Carms and Bellas book was a business rival to lovers one Dom and Vals book was childhood bffs to hookup
This was honestly a really good book. The chemistry between each couple were off the charts. They all have such an intense connection in and out of the bedroom. The spicy scenes were 🤌🤌
I love those Mancinis. They may be clueless when it comes to love, but once they find "the one", it's total surrender. Ever irresistible. Always fun.
Sexy Filthy Boss (White Collar Brothers #1) - Enzo caught me off guard. He stole my heart in the blink of an eye. His personality is electric, his charisma overpowering and his heart is his greatest feature. Annie never knew what hit her, once this playboy had her in his sights. Sexy, Filthy Boss steamed up my ereader and melted my heart.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up (White Collar Brothers, #3) - Wild Steamy Hookup is a courtship that's been years in the making. From matchmaking mamas, to mischievous family, prideful misunderstandings and frustrating lovebirds, Piper Rayne celebrates the beauty of family while luring our hearts into love.
I thought this box set of romances was sizzling hot and so entertaining to read. The Mancini brothers are totally swoon-worthy though not always the best at commitment to start, but when they meet their leading ladies, they are almost obsessed. Each story was fun and different and the chemistry and banter was off the charts!
I received a free advanced reader copy of this box set and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest review.

I love the chemistry between Enzo and Annie; Annie is a character that I enjoyed loving - she is very intelligent, ambitious, full of purpose and a role model! Enzo is also an amazing character, along with his assertiveness and stubbornness, he is also attentive and always ready to negotiate. There was a very realistic theme in the book which unfortunately still exists - discrimination against women in workplaces.

How I waited to read about him! Another brother to the Mancini family, Carmelo. The cocky, flirtatious brother, the one you'll see at any party with a huge smile that screams trouble. And yet, alongside the bad boy image, he is very competitive and when he sets his sights on a goal, he will not give up until he conquers it. And if there's something he really hates, it's losing, and even more customers. So what happens when Carmelo goes head to head with Bella? 2 real estate agents who work in competing offices find themselves forced to work together in cooperation in order to win over and sign a major real estate mogul. I really liked the extremes between the two - Carm is easygoing, wild and Bella is very purposeful and very serious. I loved seeing and discovering that they are not oil and water and are indeed able to mix together and create something extremely beautiful. Their journey was amazing, full of experiences, moments of honesty that melted my heart and of course an amazing change, each individually and together. I enjoyed it and immediately moved on to the last book in the series about the last brother, Dominic. 4🌟
𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝟛 : 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕕 𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕒𝕞𝕪 ℍ𝕠𝕠𝕜-𝕌𝕡 Full disclosure, at first I didn't connect with this book but I decided to give it another chance, and I'm glad about it. There is a saying that says "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"Oh Well, apparently Valentina and Dominic didn't get the memo.. because in the next morning they find out that they are legally married. At first they decide on a quiet divorce, but the families intervene and pressure them to give this marriage a chance before breaking up the package. Dom and Val agree in order to get their parents off their backs, they will be a seemingly happily couple that try to get the best of that marriage, and after a period of time they will break up the package. Valentina Cavallo and Dominic Mancini have a long past - which ends painfully and then they are given second invitations to love, they are afraid at first and refuse to give their hearts another try but along the journey the heart proves that it wins the mind in every new battle of love. A lovely book, surprising and so unexpected, the moment of discovery was amazing which made me love Dominic very much! I was bummed that I finished the series in 3 days and I was left with the taste of more, I will definitely read more books by this author 😁❤️ 3.5🌟
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Valentine PR & Literary Management and the author Piper Rayne All thoughts and opinions are my own.🥰
Sexy Filthy Boss #1 Enzo Mancini is the alpha male boss that changes assistants like he changes socks so when his latest assistant leaves, Annie Stewart is asked to slot in for a few hours. Soon Annie discovers that his brusque exterior is very different to his private persona and she actually quite likes it. The chemistry between them crackles and after denying their feelings like a slow burn erotic dance, they combust and as expected, it is spectacular. But with a non fraternization policy at work, they have to keep this a secret, which gets more and more difficult as feelings grow. As a self confessed bachelor and commitment phobe, Enzo doesn't want to admit that this might be more than just a fling and may actually be a relationship.
As an advertising team, Enzo and Annie work well together and their presentations help land them the company's biggest client, so ensuring a promotion for both of them. When Enzo realizes that the company he so desperately wants to be a partner in is run by a misogynistic old man that will never give Annie the recognition she deserves, he starts to see everything through her eyes and he's not happy with what he sees or what he might become. But is it too late for Enzo to let Annie know and acknowledge that he loves her, as she feels that he has committed the ultimate betrayal.
Dirty Flirty Enemy #2 Carmelo (Carm) Mancini is a top real estate broker in New York, with billboards of him shirtless helping to get him noticed. Bella is also a realtor, but she runs a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) company that ends up in direct competition with Carm's firm and also an office in the same building as him. When Bella's mom begins to date one of the biggest real estate moguls on the East coast, he offers a house in the Hamptons for the summer. With Bella, her friends, Carm, his brothers and his brother's girlfriend and her friends all willing to chip in, it becomes affordable, and with ten bedrooms, it is also big enough for Bella and Carm to avoid each other. It soon becomes apparent that there is something between Carm and Bella, but Carm is not open to a relationship and Bella doesn't believe that she can be with someone who just wants a one night stand. But as time goes on, the heat between them sizzles until neither can ignore it and it seems like Carm is willing to try for more, although no one is putting a label on what they have.
After what Bella sees as a betrayal, she also finds out that Carm lied to her early in their time together, and she uses that as an excuse to break up with him, while ignoring her own hang ups. When a reminder of Bella's past comes back to haunt her, Carm is there to step in and rescue her and that is when he decides that he is not letting her go again and that he will fight for whatever this is between them. But will Bella welcome Carm back and be able to overcome her own issues that are preventing her from going all in?
Wild Steamy Hook-Up #3 This is the last of the Mancini brothers stories and full confession, not my favorite, but still a very good read. Dominic Mancini is the moody older brother of Enzo and Carm and the most cynical of them all. He has always wanted to maintain his playboy lifestyle because he found and lost his true love at such a young age. That true-love, Valentina Cavallo, has loved Dom since she was a teenager, he was her first everything, and will also hold onto her heart. But both of them think that all they do is make each other unhappy.
So when Dom and Val wake up in Vegas and realize they got married in a drunken haze they agree that a quickie annulment is needed. But before that can happen, their Italian mother's find out and one of the most powerful tools is Italian, Catholic mother's guilt!!! In order to placate them, Dom and Val agree to give it a go, for appearances only and then file for annulment after an appropriate amount of time has passed. The downside? Real feelings may get in the way, and that could derail this plan!
All of these books have wit, heat, banter and a range of emotions and the extended epilogue at the end of this book was wonderful. Just a great series.

Sexy Filthy Boss: Anyone up for a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors? Just don’t ask Enzo to play for you! Haha. This book was a wonderful surprise. It’s not your average falling-for-the-boss story. There are realistic, current issues about a woman moving up in a male-dominated field that added depth to the story I wasn’t expecting. Annie can be timid, but she can totally hold her own at the same time. Enzo’s Character development was absolutely amazing and not what I thought it would be. The camaraderie between the brothers was full of great banter, and I’m really excited to get Dom and Carm’s stories. Not to mention their sister, Blanca, seems like a spitfire that I must know more about. I’m so very excited for this series. It’s going to be so much fun witnessing the fall of all the Mancini brothers!
Dirty Flirty Enemy: Piper Rayne. Seriously, how do they keep writing stories that just suck me right in and give me all the feels?! I loved this enemies to lovers story so damn much. Bella is recovering from a trauma that has her carving out her own independent way of life. Carm is just baffled by his brother Enzo falling head over heels in love with Annie (Sexy Filthy Boss review here), and just does not think it will happen to him. You know what's going to happen when they get thrown together, but Piper Rayne does such a wonderful job at still making the story so intriguing! I just needed to know what their journey was going to throw at them. I read this in one sitting, and loved every single moment. It gets so steamy and Carm can actually be a total book boyfriend qualifier, despite his rocky start. I DEFINITELY recommend this book, this series, and really this author duo!!!
Wild Steamy Hook-Up: Dom's story was pretty much what I thought it would be! There were times where I wanted to shake the crap out of him and Val. I mean dear lord. But that is what I love about Piper Rayne books, they elicit so much emotion in me. I want to strangle the main characters while still rooting for them at the same time. It's damn genius. This slow burn was perfection, there is just something about two characters that have a ton of history, yet can't get it together! As per usual with Piper Rayne books, I would definitely recommend this romance read!!
If you have a soft spot for hot Italian men, you're definitely going to enjoy reading this complete series of all three Mancini brothers. All three of them have different stories and even if they are successful in their businesses, each one of them have their own characters that will make you fall for them easily.
Enzo's love story is an office romance. Usually office romance is not my jam. Enzo isn't easy to work with but Annie is smart and strong enough to fight him equally. The story also has an angsty vibe because of their workplace but I enjoy Enzo and Annie's banters and their chemistry alone can set the book on fire.
Carm and Bella's love story is enemies to lovers because they both are in real estate business. And if you want me to choose which one of three brothers gives me a playboy vibe, I'm going to choose Carm. He is so arrogant and love to show off his body to Bella. But I also enjoy their banters as well. And while Carm might not honest to Bella about his action with clients, Bella also has her own secret. For me, Carm is a little bit hard to love but I can't deny that what he does to Bella when she's recovering is sweet and endearing.
Now the last one is Dom. His story is different from his two brothers. It's about second chance and accidental marriage. The story is very heartbreaking because Dom and Valentina love each other so much but with Dom sets his sight on his wealthy, he makes Valentina feel insecure and it causes them both heartaches. At some point, I think Valentina likes to torture herself by loving Dom thoguh. But at the end, love wins.
Most important thing is I adore Enzo, Carm, and Dom for their loyalties to their family. I laugh, smile, and cry while I'm reading their stories. I can't deny that it's a long one because we have three full books and a novella to read but it's worth every minutes. Piper and Rayne sure have their unique writing styles that give us reading feel whole and this series isn't different. I guarantee you that at the end, you're going to swoon over these Mancini boys like I do!

Rock, Paper, Santa (Holiday Novella) Rock, Paper, Santa is a sweet holiday novella that takes place over seven years after Wild Steamy Hook-Up ends and has a chapter in each character's point of view and shows how their lives have been since falling in love. I really loved this novella and getting a glimpse of what has happened since I read The End, I love getting to revisit with the characters and seeing how their lives have turned out.
I received an arc of White Collar Brothers: The Complete Series and I am voluntarily leaving my review.
I was introduced to Piper Rayne books this year and I can’t get enough! I worked my way through the Greene and Bailey Family series and was so excited to get this set. I absolutely loved all 3 books and love that you can get the complete series all in one!
The series follows brothers Enzo, Carmelo and Dom. I loved the hilarious banter between the 3 brothers! No matter how tough they all act on the outside they were always there for each other and to give each other a little kick in the right direction when needed. And honestly, they are all hot in their own way and give us 3 amazingly steamy books.
Sexy Filthy Boss - Absolutely loved Annie and Enzo. While I enjoyed all 3 books, I do think this one was my favorite in the series. In this workplace forbidden romance book Annie and Enzo are forced to work together on a project. Being forced to work with him, Annie is able to see that Enzo is definitely not who everyone thinks he is. The real Enzo is hotter that you can imagine!
Dirty Flirty Enemy – In this book we get an enemies to lovers' story with Carm and Bella. Both are realtors and Carm is convinced Bellas's goal is to steal all of his clients. This book is full of steam and humor but also a bit more serious topic when we find out why Bella switched to become a FSBO realtor. I loved how their relationship progressed and watching them bring out the best in each other.
Wild Steamy Hook Up – I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure about Dom in the first 2 books and was afraid I wouldn’t connect with him. Thankfully once I started reading his story that was not the case. This book had me on edge throughout the entire thing watching him and Val go back and forth so much. They definitely had a lot to work through to get things where they needed to. Thankfully the chemistry they had was there and honestly always had been. It was an off the charts HOT second chance romance. I am so glad they FINALLY got their HEA!
This set has three books and 1 short novella at the end.
Sexy Filthy Boss ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the first book in the box set and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were fun, funny and feisty. Enzo’s assistant has just quit and Annie has been asked to help him out as her boss has left for the day. Enzo is after the partner role at their firm, he just needs to nail this ad campaign. Problem is they don’t like it but Annie steps in and they like her ideas. They’re then thrown in to work together and their relationship grows from professional to personal. This was such an easy fun read. As always the characters make you laugh out loud and there’s lots of chemistry between Enzo and Annie.
Dirty Flirty Enemy ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the second book in the series its Cams turn at finding love. He’s the laid back, fun, confident brother. He is a real state agent and his competition has just moved into the offices across the hall from him. He’s conflicted as he doesn’t like her but can’t help being attracted to her. As much as I enjoyed this book it wasn’t as good as the first one. The characters are great and have lots of chemistry but just didn’t have as many feels as the first one.
Wild Steamy hook-up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the last book in the series and it’s Dom’s turn to find his happily ever after. In the other two books Dom doesn’t say much and is almost always grumpy. So I didn’t know what to expect from his book. But it was really good. There’s so much chemistry between Val and Dom your filled with constant goosebumps. You can’t help but fall for him, he might appear grumpy on the outside but he’s such a softy. Theirs is a lovely second chance romance story.
Rock, Paper, Santa ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely little novella updating us on all three couples and what they’re up to.
The Mancini brothers are self-made confident Italian brothers who have one thing in common they can each have any woman they want. The family banter is so much fun to read and each book centers on one of the Mancini brothers. Each brother is determined to stay in bachelor mode, but one by one, cupid shoots a love arrow right into their heart and into happily ever after.
Sexy Filthy Boss is Enzo Mancini and Annie's story. Enzo is indeed a dirty talker and She's sassy and stands up for herself. He and Annie are both driven and after the same thing: climbing the career ladder to the top of their profession.
Dirty Flirty Enemy is youngest brother, Carmello and Bella's adventure. Carmello is competitive, mischievous and doesn't take a whole lot of things seriously, unless it's losing your best client to the competition. He's sexy, funny, and definitely swoon-worthy. Bella is smart and sexy. In this case, the competition is a fiery red-head named Bella.She gives as good as she gets and Carmello has definitely met his match with her.
Wild Steamy Hook-Up with the eldest brother Dominic Mancini who finds himself waking up in Vegas married to his teenage first love Valentina. They always ran from their problems instead of talking it out. They've known each other for 16 years and can't convey their feelings.
I love book sets, especially those featuring family series. The Mancini brothers are all that and a bag of chips. Each story showcases a different brother with a different trope. Sexy Filthy Boss was my favorite brother, Enzo’s story but funny enough, not a trip I love or gravitate to. I almost bypassed it to save until later, but I’m glad I kept at it. His banter with Annie kept me entertained and I loved her spunky spirit. Brother Carm and his enemies to lovers partner, Bella, are featured in Dirty Flirty Enemy. While the don’t work together, both make their living in the real estate world…and have offices in the same building. There were more laugh out loud moments form these two, and watching playboy Carmelo fall was priceless. Val and Dom have a Wild Steamy Hookup that gives this couple a second chance at love…with a oopsie wedding! Looks like Mama Mancini finally has something to crow about to her sister. Dom was my least favorite brother, which is again, weird, because of the three tropes featured…his and Val’s is my favorite. He just irked me for some reason. Rock, Paper Santa was a fun way to wrap up this family, set in the future. All in all, a good set of stories for new fans or those who might have missed a story or two from the Mancinis.
White Collar Brothers is a boxset containing all four books in the Mancini brothers series!!!
First, is Sexy Filthy Boss, the story of Enzo and Annie. He’s a Senior Advertising exec…who needs an assistant…again. With no one else available, he uses, Annie, a colleague’s assistant. But, he wants it all….partnership and more!
Next, is Dirty Flirty Enemy. This is the story of Carmelo and Bella. He’s a successful realtor. She’s a FSBO broker that got one of his clients while talking in an elevator. The war is on!! She has some horrible secrets….but, he wants to be part of her life…
Third, is Wild Steamy Hookup, the story of Dominic (Dom) and Valentina (Val). They create a fake marriage…that will be annulled soon. But, as things progress, the relationship morphs. I think this was my favorite of them all1!!! I loved the give and take between the characters and the budding feelings generated.
Finally, there is Rock, Paper, Santa which is essentially an epilogue for all of our wonderful couples in this series. Fabulous!!!
I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This boxset was my introduction to this author. The set covers the romance of the three Mancini brothers, Enzo, Carmelo/Carm and Dominic. I love when alpha Heroes, in this case, brothers, meet their match with a strong, fierce heroine who brings each of them to their knees. In Sexy Filthy Boss, will the career-driven Enzo, decide the promotion is most important, or will he learn a different lesson with Annie? In Dirty Flirty Enemy, we have a clashing of real estate brokers with different approaches that collide when our feisty heroine, Bella, pulls one over on flirtatious, Carmelo. The witty dialogue creates sparks which leads to the inevitable! In Wild Steamy Hookup, fate (and alcohol) plays a role in reuniting high school loves, Dominic and Valentina. Growing up they never seemed to be able to be on the same page at the same time. Their Italian mothers insist they honor their "vows" after waking up in Vegas to find rings on their fingers. This forced proximity story ends as expected. In the holiday novella, Rock, Paper, Santa, we take a quick visit into the future where we're reunited with all three couples.
I love anything written by Piper Rayne, but I have to say that this series is one of my ultimate favs from this author!
This series has all the emotion, and I enjoyed every second I spent reading it. Each story was for a different brother, fun, and entertaining! The Mancini brothers (Enzo, Carmelo, and Dominic) were something else, and I love how each one of the brothers was able to find the one.
Each story dives into different tropes, and I couldn't help but love them all because they had some of my favorite tropes.
- Sexy Filthy Boss (Enzo's story) was an office romance. - Dirty Flirty Enemy (Carmelo's story) was an enemies-to-lovers romance. - Wild Steamy Hook Up (Dom's story) was a second chance, accidental marriage, and single-mom romance.
I think the development of each relationship and each character was perfect! The chemistry between the couples, everything felt so real, and I was able to connect with the characters from the very beginning. These brothers couldn't be hotter, but I have to say that Enzo is secretly my fav brother.
