Vince:LaRosa and MacNamara are two names that don’t belong in the same breath. Not unless you want bullets flying through the air, and blood on the floor.I’m sick of the death and fighting. All that violence? Yeah, I might love it, but it’s not good for my bottom line. With Kelly MacNamara’s influence, my money, and our fake relationship, the decades-long feud between her family, and mine is … her family, and mine is coming to an end.
I just hadn’t expected to become addicted to Kelly’s tight little body, come hither eyes, and scorching kisses. She might be a wanna-be actress, but the heat between us is all too real.
Kelly:
As the only daughter of an Irish bigwig, I’m expected to follow in my father’s footsteps, and take over the family business. But I don’t want this life. I have California dreams and a shoestring budget. Truth was, I had zero chance of changing my life. Until Vince LaRosa offered me an out.
His plan? Pose as his girlfriend, smooth over the tension between the Italians and Irish, and then I’ll head west to start over with a nice little nest egg compliments of the man himself.
It didn’t seem like a big deal to fake it for a few months. He’s ruthless as hell and panty-dropping hot. I thought I could handle him and the passion between us. But I was wrong.
Now, not only is my family in jeopardy from Vince’s ruthless strategies but so is my heart.
This bad boy mafia romance is a standalone novel in an interconnected series.

The Italian Mafia v. The Irish underbelly. Kelly and Vince were long-time school friends though their families were always on the outs with each other. Kelly and Vince reconnect after college and a relationship blooms between them. But can they ultimately overcome the disapproval and hostility to be true to their hearts’ desires?
This my second read by the team of Mr. Miller and Ms. Dodd and I enjoyed it, as I did the other work by them I’ve read. I look forward to reading Ms. Dodd’s other works in the future, as well as continuing to be a fan and reader of Mr. Miller.
Holy Wow!!!! 5+++++Stars!
This book gave me all the feels!!!! It was intense!! Not your average love story, with all the intense situations,and the pure raw love that Vince and Kelly have for each other, it’s like nothing I’ve ever read before! This book will have you on the edge of your seat! I cried and laughed and wanted to strangle the author’s!! This book is a MUST READ!! I LOVED it!! I can’t wait to read more by Mickey Miller and Holly Dodd!!!
Ugh
I struggled to finish this one. It was eye rolling. I almost felt embarrassed for the authors.
Mob and movie families still operating in Chicago. A fake relationship between the families turning real and lots of overused “sausage” references.
I loved this modern take on Romeo and Juliet. Smart, sexy and downright delicious, this book is a very entertaining. The chemistry between Vince and Kelly just sizzles. The scenes between these two just scorch the pages. A well written storyline engages your interest and keeps you hooked. This book offers plenty of heat, heart and humor. Add in some drama, a bit of angst, some suspense, and a dose of sweetness and you have an excellent read and a wonderful start to this series.
The Irish Mob Princess & The Italian Mafia King… makes for a great story. Kelly, the only daughter of the head of the Irish mob is spunky, strong, sweet & sassy. Vince the now king of the Italian Mafia, conniving, dark, sexy and determined. They were best friends in school, that turned into a little more before Vince’s family moved. Neither one of them forgot the other as life went on and Kelly went to college. After College she comes home and is expected to take over the family’s business even though in her heart she wants to act and be in theater. When Vince finds out she’s home he stops by to pay her a visit hoping to get the lingering thoughts of her out of his head and that is where the story starts to grow. I do not like spoilers so I will not give them.
I loved this modern-day version of a Romeo and Juliet tale by Holly Dodd and Mickey Miller. Set in Chicago, Dirty CEO is the tale of Vince LaRose, Italian mafia and ruler of Chicago, and Kelly MacNamara, princess of the Irish Mob.
Even though Vince and Kelly had been friends in high school, theirs was a romance destined to fail. With families on opposite sides of the century old feud that rules Chicago, even speaking to one another is frowned upon. However, when Kelly returns to Chicago to take over the family business, Vince decides to take matters into his own hands regarding both his feelings for Kelly and the bloodshed between the Irish and Italians that is an everyday occurrence in Chicago’s turf wars.
Drawn together, the chemistry between Vince and Kelly is undeniable and sparks fly. To try and bring an end to the endless violence, Vince proposes that he and Kelly act as a couple to show unity between the two warring factions. However, feelings and emotions quickly take over, and both Vince and Kelly find themselves in much deeper than either expected.
With the disapproval from both families, can Vince and Kelly find a way to end the feud and be together? Can Vince escape from his violent past into a future with Kelly? Can Kelly gain the approval of her family and exit the family business she has never felt comfortable in?
Mickey Miller and Holly Dodd did a phenomenal job with this co-written book. It read seamlessly and I couldn’t put it down. I love Vince. He is intelligent, sexy as hell and completely devoted to Kelly. Kelly is a perfect complement to Vince’s character and her Irish wit and personality shine through. What could be another trite mob romance is so much more! The story has some unexpected twists and ancillary characters that I hope get their own stories as the series continues. The chemistry between Vince and Kelly is off the charts and there are some very hot scenes between them!
I give Dirty CEO 5 stars and cannot wait to read Connor’s story which is up next in the series.
Can I rate more then 5 stars?! Holly and Mickey work beautifully together, this book went along seamlessly from the very beginning until the end. Vince being part of the Italian side and Kelly the Irish you know without a doubt there’s going to be trouble when they collide. They agree upon a plan to make peace between the two families but things don’t go as smoothly as they thought. This story is hot and sexy but at the same time we’re given a love story and so much more and yes I’ll say it again SEXY! Two people that were raised completely different have so much of a connection shared. You just want to cheer them on and see them both happy. Kelly learns so much from Vince and there’s no doubt that Vince learns quite a bit from Kelly. This was an incredible story and I loved every word of it. Wonderful job to both Holly Dodd and Mickey Miller on your collaboration for this story. I cannot wait for more. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
Love Mickey Miller’s books
