3.75 stars–BREAKING THE LAW is the second instalment in Chloe Fischer’s contemporary, adult MAFIA BOSSES erotic, romance series focusing on the men and women of the DiMarco mob. This is undercover detective Andrea Benito (aka Sofia Morano) , and DiMarco mafia kingpin Marco Sardelli’s storyline. BREAKING THE LAW can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but for backstory and cohesion I recommend reading the series prequel-MAFIA BOSSES: The Struggle.
NOTE: BREAKING THE LAW can also be found in the Mafia Bosses Anthology boxset by Chloe Fisher
Told from dual third person perspectives (Marco and Andrea) BREAKING THE LAW follows Detective Andrea Benito as she goes undercover to ferret out information regarding her missing and presumed dead cousin and agent Valentina Benito. Months earlier agent Valentina Benito disappeared without a trace while undercover with the DiMarco mob, and the Miami-Dade police department is hoping to retrieve what they lost. Enter Detective Andrea Benito, who must go undercover in the hopes of uncovering the truth, a truth that will place a target on our heroine’s back, in more ways than one. What ensues is the building relationship between mafia kingpin Marco Sardelli, and Andrea Benito, and the potential fall-out as Andrea becomes fodder for secrets, lies, betrayal and revenge.
Marco Sardelli doesn’t do relationships since the last debacle with Mara Cordoza, a woman he suspected of having an affair but a woman with more secrets than the Italian mob. Meeting and ‘rescuing’ Sofia Morano gave Marco a second chance for a happily ever after a chance that will be destroyed when the truth is revealed.
The relationship between Marco and Andrea (aka Sofia) begins as a ruse. Andrea is undercover in an attempt to uncover the truth about Valentina’s disappearance, a truth that will place everyone in danger including our story line couple The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word-although only used once-more for shock value than anything else.
We are reintroduced to the Don, Giovanni DiMarco, Ariano Francisco, Mara Cordoza, as well as bartender Tracey; and Agent Terry Draggan.
BREAKING THE LAW is a story of secrets, lies, betrayal and vengeance. The premise is fast paced and engaging; the romance is sexy and steamy; the characters are colorful, charismatic and hot.
A well written short and captivating read with nice storyline and plot. A mix of danger, drama, mafia, romance, secrets and instant attraction. I would have liked a bit more depth to the story at times.
An enjoyable and recommendable read.

Another great book by Chloe Fisher Undercover detective Andrea Benito is roped into an FBI investigation. They need her help to collar mafia kingpin Marco Sardelli, her missing cousin’s ex-boyfriend – and there’s nothing Andrea would like better than to nail this criminal. This book is a page turner you won’t stop reading until reach the end…. Brilliant highly recommend
I received an arc, and am voluntarily leaving this review. This was a really good story. It was interesting, intense, and a little steamy. I couldn’t put it down. I cant wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend it.
Beautiful detective Andrea Benito goes undercover for the FBI into the Caprese crime family as Sofia Morano to find her cousin Valentina, an FBI agent who went MIA three years prior. There she runs into trouble and is rescued by Marco Sardelli, one of the premire marco regimes of the family, also the main suspect by the agency of foul play in Valentina’s case.
You gotta get this book to find out what happens to Sofia, Marco, and if Andrea finds out what happened to her cousin.

I loved the suspense and action in this book. Andrea has worked very hard to make her way in a “good ol’ boy” environment with the police dept. She goes undercover to find out what happened to her cousin. As Sofia Moran her job is to get close to Marco Sardelli, who dated her cousin before she disappeared. I could feel the tension and desire that ran between Sofia and Marco from the beginning when he saved her life. Marco turns out to be nothing like she was led to believe. This book grabbed my interest from the first and I loved every minute. Andrea/Sofia is very a personable character and I could relate with her very well. I was also a Marco fan from the beginning. I think this is a must-read book. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
I received this book through ARC but I’m voluntarily leaving this review. Another hit for Chloe Fischer. This book has a great group of characters, who play off each other well and bring the book depth and warmth. Great love story with action, comedy and super steamy love scenes, can it get any better!!
I liked this story, but was disappointed at the end : it totally deserves an epilogue.
Andrea is an police officer. She has to work with Terry, an FBI agent who wants her to go undercover to arrest a mafia family who probably killed her cousin, Valentina who was undercover 3 years ago.
Marco was the boyfriend of Valentina (known as Mara for him) and he works for the mafia. When one of his soldier tries to rape Andrea, he saves her. She starts to feel attracted to him and she doesn’t trust the FBI’s agent to protect her : something seems off ….

ONE SIZZLING HOT TALE!!!
OMG! Chloe has set the bar high. Man, this is one of the most amazing, page turning, action packed, fast paced, suspense filled storylines that will rock your world. Chloe holds nothing back. You’re hooked from the start and reeled in for the duration. Chloe paints a scene so vividly detailed and adds every nuance to bring it to life for our pleasure and entertainment. The characters are so realistic and believable its so easy to relate to them and root for the main couple. The chemistry is off the charts and explosive that shows just how strong their personalities blend as they open to one another. Such vast individual qualities that really runs smoothly as their roles play out with this incredibly strong plot. All the twists and turns keep you captivated as Chloe pulls us deeper into the world she has created for our enjoyment. One fantastic tale with everything you’ve come to expect. Perfection. Chloe did brilliant job bringing this read to life. Remarkable job, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
Intriguing story about an undercover FBI agent searching for her missing cousin while trying to gain information on the notorious Caprese mob family. She soon discovers things aren’t always as they seem and the lines between right and wrong can get blurred.
Andrea Benito is a detective with the Miami-Dade PD who goes undercover in the Caprese Family as Sofia Moran. She’s tasked with finding her cousin who disappeared 3 years ago as an FBI undercover agent. As Sofia, she meets and connects with Marco Sardelli, one of Giovanni Caprese’s capos. Sofia begins to believe there is more going on than just the simple assignment she has been given. When she finds herself in trouble can she trust Marco to keep her safe or will he be more of a threat to her life?
This is an engaging Mafia romance. The story is fast paced and will definitely keep your attention. The characters are strong, interesting, and easy to empathize with. For the most part the narrative flows effortlessly with intrigue, emotions, and HOT romance. There are a couple areas that didn’t flow smoothly IMO. One area being how the first date ended; that seemed very rushed. I would have expected Andrea to be a little more reticent about making that union so quickly. At least wait until the 2nd date. 😉 The other is the ending. It is quite abrupt. An epilogue would be nice. Other than these areas, I found this an enjoyable story and hard to put down. I recommend this as a very appealing read!
I am voluntarily providing an honest, unbiased review of an ARC of this book. I also purchased a copy of this book.
Mafia Bad Boy Goodness
Andrea, a Miami police officer, gets roped into going undercover to keep eyes on Marco, a Capo-Regime in a local mafia. As the story progresses a twisted and tangled tale begins to unfold with the reader dragged right along with the characters. Breaking the Law includes Ms. Fischer’s signature steam, character growth, and surprise plot turns. This a great addition to her mafia bad boy line and a definite must read again.
Andrea is a good cop trying to make it in a man’s world. She goes undercover for the FBI and meets Marco, her target. A nice, quick Mafia read. Passion, excitement, reads like a movie. I loved it. I need to explore this world some more.
