A romance with some drama, surprises, romance, hot scenes and an alpha male that takes what he wants. Absolutely well written with great storyline and plot. Well defined and described characters.
I like the drama and mystery in the story. It has a depth and theme that caught me.
The frontcover text was not my kind of thing. It is too dominating.
A story that I can recommend to others.
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!

Dad’s Italian Mafia Friend
Flora Ferrari
This is an older man/younger woman romance with the mafia trope. If you enjoy any of those, you’ll really like this book. But I like it because it’s an older man/younger woman. It also had a happy ever after ending which was awesome!

She is on the “Payment plan”
Dad’s Italian Mafia Friend is a blend of Older Man / Younger Woman, Mafia, Dad’s friend, a Debt owing and Saving father. Flora Ferrari is able to push the whip button on all of this and end up pouring out a marvelous short story.
Sloane’s father has lost a large bet and Stefano, his mafia friend, is collecting the debt. But unfortunately there is no money so instead there is punishment. Sloane steps in to save her father and once Stefano gets a look at her she is becomes the payment.
This is a really fun and interesting story as Sloane and Stefano see if they can go from “payment plan” to the real thing. Along the way there are all sorts of down and dirty things shared, a road trip, a war started, a bond built between these two and a number of twists that you just don’t really see coming.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is a relatively quick read about Sloan and Stefano meeting in difficult circumstances and having great chemistry together that deepens over time. The plot is great and easy to read, the characters are interesting and fairly likable. Another great story from this author who never fails to impress.

Stefano makes his choice!
by sewsummore
From the first moment that Stefano saws Sloane he knew that she was the one for him and all he had to do was convince her of the fact. Sloane was an innocent eighteen year old when she made a deal with Stefano, she would be his alone for two and a half weeks and her father’s debt would be paid. It took a lot less time than that for him to convince her and she never regretted it. I loved the honesty of Stefano’s love, he never once gave her a chance to regret her love. I especially liked the epilogue and extended epilogue that tells of their life together years later. There were hard choices that had to be made and Stefano made them but never once did he regret choosing her and their family.

A captivating and interesting steamy mafia romance! The storyline is well written, witty, and steamy; the light darkness, danger, betrayal, and suspense added to the overall excitement of the book. The characters are strong; the chemistry between them is instant and off the charts. Strongly recommended!

When Sloane’s father gambled away her college fund she didn’t know what she was going to do. Then late one night she heard someone yelling at her father and went to investigate. Stefano is involved in the mafia and had been helping his friend until he learned how much he owed him after his last wager. Stefano didn’t know when he went to confront her father that she was living with him. That is until she yelled down at him and he was stunned to learn they weren’t alone. The next day Sloane goes to Stefano’s business and they come to an arrangement about the debt. She ends up moving in with him until she pays off the debt however neither expected for real feelings to become involve in their deal. Will Stefano let her leave when their deal is complete?
This is a steamy hot story that will captivate you from the first chapter. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

In this book we meet Sloane Smith and Stefano Scaletta. When this book opens Stefano is beating his old friend Stephan for betting $50,000 on a rigged online game. When Sloane steps in to save her father and stop Stefano neither know what hit them. Sloane is the daughter Stephan never acknowledged and now is looking at a man who takes her an makes her want to do things she never would have thought she would. Stefano takes one look at the beauty he never knew his friend had and knows he has just found his future. Will they have a future though with the business he is in and her college money in jeopardy of never being seen again?
This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
This is great read with plenty of twists and turns and lots of chemistry to keep you turning the pages. Loved how well the characters were developed and engaging and the storyline flowed smoothly.

Loved this story! Well written with characters that get you hooked until the end. Sloane and Stefano go well together. Liked the ending!! Another great Flora story!!
Sloane wants to help her father when he gets in trouble because of his gambling. She approaches Stefano to work out a deal on behalf of her dad. Stefano has never seen a woman quite like Sloane and no one who dare speak to him the way she does. Can she work or a deal to save her family? The characters are raw, strong-willed and determined which only adds life to the ups and downs and suspense of the storyline. Great read!

A five year mystery is solved a Mafia war started and Sloane proves her loyalty to Stefano. The two build an unbreakable bond and a future together. Sloane also teaches Stefano about compassion and family. They take his money and help those with gambling addiction by giving them a place to work on themselves and recover. I wasn’t sure they were going to stop after ten children.

Flora Ferrari does it again! Another great standalone, older man and younger woman romance. It was intense and steamy with some humor and action thrown into it. Stefano and Sloane are another great duo with sizzling chemistry
