When my dad’s best friend unexpectedly shows up in our house in the middle of the night, I’m expecting a good reason why he didn’t knock or tell us he was here. But what I really want is to tell him how I’ve felt about him for so long and how his arrival seems like the Christmas gift I never though I’d get, but always hoped for. And I can’t help but wonder if this Christmas will be the first time … first time I give my dad’s best friend the gift I’ve been saving just for him.
It’s been years since this older man has seen me, and when he looks this younger woman up and down it’s clear he can see I’m not a little girl anymore. I want to light up his life, but he’s acting like there’s a dark past threatening to catch up with him.
But what happens when dad’s mafia friend catches me alone? Will his possessive side come out and claim me once and for all, or will he find a way to resist the desire that’s pulling us together? And can my parents resist their nagging suspicion that something is going on between Marco and I, and their urge to tear us apart?
With a dark cloud hanging over Marco’s head, it’s questionable that he’ll even survive…but when he promises me what we have will survive, always, I know that for the first time in my life I got exactly what I wanted for Christmas. Him.
*Christmas With Dad’s Mafia Friend is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

Eloise has had a huge crush on her father’s friend, Marco. Marco is on the run and he chooses to crash at his old friend’s house. What Marco did not realize that his life would be turned upside down in the best way. Marco has had a hard life so far, but it starts to look up when Marco encounters Eloise all grown up. This is a quick read, but it is very entertaining. Flora Ferrari is so good at writing instalove stories that are truly steamy and entertaining. I have read quite a few of her works and am always smiling when I finish. Flora Ferrari is definitely a favorite of mine.

This was another wonderful story by Ferrari. The main characters, Marco & Eloise were very similar in many ways: strong, determined, protective, passionate. Their emotional and physical connection was palpable from the onset, and kept the reader sucked into their story until the very end.
Marco was doing his best to stay alive. Not that he had done anything worth killing him. Eloise was struggling to come to terms with her feelings for the only man she ever cared for (since she was s young girl). When she finally understood him, and got the courage to be honest with him too, they were an amazing duo.
Unfortunately, Eloise did not understand just how dangerous the situation was for Marco. Her desires, and ability to seduce him to do almost anything, lead to significant issues. Not the least was her parents learning of their relationship.
When everything comes to a head, who/what will be left standing (Marco, Eloise, her parents, their budding relationship, etc)? What is Marco willing to do to ensure Eloise emerges unscathed?
I did receive an ARC of this book, however thst in no way effected my opinion or review. You gotta read this book!
The author has again given us an older man wanting/needing a younger woman. Eloise was a young girl the last time she had contact with Marco. However, when he sees her again, everything leaves his mind except the need to have her.

I enjoyed this story. Marco is in the mafia and needs a place to lay low, so he goes to his friend Jacob’s house. Eloise is Jacob’s daughter and has been in love with Marco for years. Eloise is excited to spend time with Marco. They are so sweet together. Loved the happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Eloise is the no longer the girl that Marco remembers when he breaks in to her parents house while he is on the run. She has grown into a beautiful woman. Marco is every bit of handsome and mysterious man that Eloise fell in love with the moment she realized what love was.
When the sparks ignite, will Eloise’s parents accept her and Marco’s fated love? When Marco’s past catches up with him, will they be able to make it thru the challenges and danger?
Flora nails it with this steamy holiday tail, bringing just the right amount of action to keep you on the edge of your seat, the perfect amount of steam to keep you warm, and the happily ever after that will make you smile – of course, the perfect alpha hottie and strong heroine to top everything off. I loved every single word!
