Kings of Mafia #2
Franco & Samantha
Michelle Heard does it again, another entertaining Mafia romance. It’s fun and steam with these Mafia capos! I’m always amused at these guys who are so fearsome but turn into complete putty when they meet the woman of their dreams.
Franco Vitale is the grumpy CEO of Vitale Pharmaceutical, and his overwrought PA is already thinking of resigning. She’s the fifth assistant he’s had so far, he’s that nasty. But then Samantha decides to win him at his game, reassesses her job and comes prepared for war. She leaves him gobsmacked and he can hardly keep up with her! Then she goes to the Paradiso club to start dealing with the issues that made her leave Houston in a hurry.
Since Franco also owns Paradiso, he gets to observe her and start obsessing about her. And when she has a bad experience, he jumps in and helps her overcome the situation and then stays to calm her. All employees at Paradiso wear balaclavas to protect their identity so she has no idea he’s her boss. Furthermore, he’s sweet and tender in Paradiso, in contrast to his gruff manner at work.
So they start to fall in love, a la Beauty and the Beast sorta style, and he has a big conundrum to solve. How can he go from “mystery man” to dear Franco? And how can he stop Renzo from laughing his head off every time he hears the term?
“For some unknown reason, I like the idea that she’s a wildcat here and a wounded kitten at Paradiso.”
The plot is entertaining, we get the Mafia lords behaving like frat boys when they play poker together, then scary deadly in action. There are funny moments, and then gory ones like when they bury someone alive. I really didn’t need to read that one! Some parts of the story didn’t feel believable to me, like employees wearing balaclavas all the time, but I understood the necessity for the story. This one doesn’t have the magic of her other Mafia stories, but it was still fun to read and the characters were as enjoyable as ever.
