As Andrei’s two worlds begin to clash and Callie gets caught in the middle they will both have to fight for everything they hold dear, including each other.
But even that isn’t as hard as trying to fight their lust…

Action, mystery, intrigue, and heat. I like that this author is dipping her pen into the paranormal world and bringing insta love there. I didn’t like how manipulative Callie’s dad was with her when she was an adult. I liked that she was strong enough to hear and accept ALL Andrei’s secrets. Twists. secrets and a hea. Loving the different direction this author is taking her writing. Growth and expansion! Kudos!

Loved Andrei and Callie
Callie was working on a computer science degree, but dropped out after a professor became inappropriate. Her word against his. Now she is on the way to Russia to inter for her father’s friend Andrei, who’s company specialized in computer fraud.
Andrei a bear shifter, part of a small clan, that has ties to the Bratva. They offer each other mutual support. His Clan keeps there area safe. They don’t tolerate trafficking in people or drugs. The hits he carries out are the worst of the worst.
When Andrei meets Callie, she is definitely not the 12 year girl he remembers.
For the first time he rethinks his stance on a mate and children.
A light romantic suspense. Love the shifter element and the world building around their Clan.
I love this author’s books, they are an automatic buy for me. I know I will get a great story.
Flora does it again – except she ventured out of her usual box with writing a fantastic bear shifter novella.
Andrei lives in Russia, as head of a software firm that leads in security measures. But he also lives a double life, being a bear shifting assassin for the Bratva.
Callie is sent to work as an intern for Andrei by her father. The attraction between her and Andrei is instant – he realizes that Callie is his mate. Can Callie handle all the secrets he holds? Can Andrei save her father when he dabbled too deep?
This is an instalove Ferrari novel, with a yummy bear shifting alpha and a happily ever after.
Mafia, shifters and bears…oh my!!! Callie is so excited to have an internship coding, even if its in Russia working for a friend of her fathers. She has had a very sheltered life and can’t wait for what lies ahead. she has no idea of Andrei’s “other” business outside of computer security and especially his deepest secret. Andrei isn’t prepared for the rush of attraction and lust he feels towards Callie, especially since he is friends with her father. Callie doesn’t care about the age difference, she just wants Andrei. He job moves along, as does their attraction, but when she is put in danger because of her father’s and his business dealings he has to reveal his true nature to protect the woman he loves…so good!
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. The chemistry between Andrei and Callie is off the charts. Being involved with the Mafia there is always trouble.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

This is the story of Callie’s internship with her dad’s friend Andrei’s company. She comes to Russia to prove herself and her abilities to her father. Andrei was not expecting the young girl from his memories to have become such a stunning woman and his bear soon makes him realize just how important she is to them. Wonderful characters that have complexities, vulnerabilities, and determination. These characteristics add to the twists and turns, suspense and intrigue of the storyline. Great read!!

I recieved this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review
Here we have American Callie & Russian Andrei whose a friend of Callie’s father & she knows he’s not squeaky clean like her Father. But her father allows her to go over to Russia to work as an apprentice after she leaves College before her final year in Decoding.
Things we see doesn’t go down as pleasant during those first few hours of her arriving. She has a co worker Ivan who seems quite sleazy & Andrei isn’t so welcoming.
But things turn around simply well quite simply in a matter of days.
There’s some violence between the 2 men in the house hold but its from there that Callie’s eyes are opened & her life changes especially when Her Father David arrives…
Find out how things changes not just for Callie but for All of Them….
Her father insists she go to Russia and work for his best friend. But this friend has many hats, he owns a software development company, bear shifter and is a mafia hit man. He knew her when she was a lot younger but she has really changed now. Lot of twists and turns, secrets, drama, intrigue, danger and so much more. I highly recommend it. It is very well written. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
Ready to mate and hibernate
Dad’s Russian Mafia Bear Best Friend is everything you come to expect from a Flora Ferrari book – ultra possessive and protective Alpha H, beautiful and intelligent h, an interesting story, great characters, insta-love and a lot of steamy sexy scenes. Added into this story is the introduction of shape-shifters, a new thing for this author.
I liked the story of Andrei and Callie a lot and would recommend it to anyone who likes burly handsome alpha shifter heroes and smart and sassy heroines, with a bit of drama and lots of sizzling chemistry.
I received a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Dark but wonderful love story. This a great story that has you hooked from the beginning. It’s great characters Callie and Andrei are immediately attracted to each other but Ivan is not happy as wants Callie himself but is warned off her by Andrei. Not being your typical business man he has secrets & a whole different part of his life that Callie doesn’t know about. It gets hot & steamy but there are many problems that could possibly come between them & I couldn’t stop reading desperately hoping they get through them together. Another a amazing story from Flora.

This is the first book in the Bratva Bear Shifters series, there is loads in this paranormal mafia romance. Callie goes to Russia to work for her father’s best friend, Andrei. But all is normal is his part of the of the world, the chemistry between Andrei and Callie is instantaneous and sizzling. Can this couple have their HEA after all the secrets come to light?
Highly entertaining story, fast-paced and quick to read.
I enjoyed that Callie went to Russia to intern with Andrei and ended up finding so much more than she thought. I liked that there was more to the story than just Andrei and Callie being mates.

This book is a captivating read. The characters are well written and so is the storyline. Once you start you have to finish. A great read
I’m kind of new to the whole bear shifter thing. Kind of weird but also strangely romantic. Not my favorite but I’m glad I read it.

In this book we meet Callie Collins and Andrei. Callie has come to Russia to intern with her fathers old friend. She isn’t looking for a husband what she really wants is to be taken seriously. She tried college and when she turned in her college professor for hitting on her things went down hill. Callie is looking to prove herself not only to her father but her father’s friend as well. What she could do without is another man who talks down to her and that is exactly what she finds in his assistant. Andrei is looking for love or a mate. He is a killer and knows that he is no good for anything resembling a family. So when he gets a new assignment from the bratva he knows there is trouble on the horizon. Will these two find the HEA they didn’t know they were looking for or will others make sure that never happens?
This is a great new story for 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 grab you emotionally and not let go even when you read those two words “the end”. This is a little different from what we typically expect from this author but no less amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
This book has it all…hot alpha male, strong female, suspense, love, and so may twists and turns…plus the hot alpha is male, so that’s even better. Original story and some surprises along the way. Great read and first experience with this author!
