What do tattooed butts, the Mafia, and a medical student have in common? Tonia Fuller! Tonia, a blonde bombshell with a bust to make a Barbie doll weep, is a klutz. Wearing four-inch spike heels, and already top heavy, her center of gravity is elusive. When hunky medical student Raphael Beauchamp comes to her rescue twice, he thinks he knows why Tonia’s falling. It’s those ridiculous designer … ridiculous designer stilettos.
Tonia takes a tumble down some stairs, resulting in a nasty concussion. Since she’s new in Boston she has no one to stay with her. Raphael opts to look after this headstrong beauty rather than risk second impact syndrome, which can be fatal. Raphael discovers that Tonia’s the ex-wife of a Las Vegas mafia don. She has half an offshore bank account number tattooed on her butt, and someone’s after her. A normal person would don a pair of running shoes and get the hell out of Boston. But it’s too late for Raphael. Tonia’s not the only one who’s been falling.

Entertaining & fast-paced romance
—>>> For me, this great read had a mini-soap-opera kind of feel – highly entertaining and loved the characters. Ranging from silly and klutzy to outrageous moments, there was never a dull moment! Looking forward to reading the next one!
I have read some of Ashlyn Chase’s earlier paranormal books and enjoyed her writing style and humor, so I was intrigued to read a contemporary romance novel. I found this to be a less complex story which was quick and easy to read, steamy, and still as funny. Some of the predicaments the characters found themselves in had me laughing out loud. While it moved a bit quicker through the stages of the story than I’d have liked I thoroughly enjoyed the read and am ready to jump right in to reviewing the sequel. If you like light-hearte, happy, love stories that are lavished with a humorous brush, give this book a try.

Made me laugh out loud many times
That was very funny and entertaining read. It reminded me of the movie with Sylvester Stallone – “Oscar” – where the world of mafia is pictured completely differently to the dark scenes and crimes we are so used to when it comes to “the family”.
It made me laugh, it made me cross fingers for the main characters and cheering for the trio to overcome the obstacles thrown their way. I was very much immersed with the story till the last page. Characters are very enjoyable, funny, sometimes not smart or very mature but they perfectly fit the bill with the story line that is fast paced and won’t leave you bored. I really enjoyed this book and spent very nice time reading it.
Raphael, a medical student, rescues Tonia twice when she falls off the stilettos that she insists on wearing. She’s the ex-wife of a Vegas mafia guy, with half of a tattoo on her butt. The other half of the tattoo is on the butt of the ex’s girlfriend, and the complete tattoo is the account number of an offshore account. I loved this book – it grabbed me from the first page, and was easy to read – great characters off on a big adventure to take the money. This is my first read from this author, and I’m looking forward to her next book.

Well if read as a parody
I found the story quite surprising because I did not really know if it was a parody of a mafia story or not. So, starting from the idea of a parody, the story is pretty good.
At first I liked the dynamic with which the heroine Tonia repels the hero Raphael, a doctor, until the opposite happens fairly quickly. Then the tone changes when he discovers who she is.
Tonia is sarcastic but a little naive or innocent. As for Raphael, the doctor, he discovers a mafia world that he knows only through the movies and ends up doing a hidden booty race with a split plan in two unlikely places.
In short, it’s both warm, humorous, with action and surprising behaviors.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Sometimes you just need a laugh out loud romantic comedy and this is just that. You’ll start laughing from the first page to the last page. The ex-wife of a Las Vegas mafia don, a tattoo of an offshore account number on her buttocks and a med student makes for a great and entertaining read.

Fun and funny
Very fun read. The story snags and keeps you. Really, who would have thought a tattoo of half an account number on her bottom? With Tonia’s tendency toward accidents and mayhem, it’s a good thing Raphael is pre-Med… she’s going to need him.

This LOL story will hook you from the first page, She is the ex wife to a mafia don who is accidental prone. Raphael is a medical student who is falling hard for this blonde beauty and to top it all off she has a tattoo on her behind that the mafia boss wants and it is causing a whole lot of drama. How will this all end for Tonia and Raphael.

She has a tattoo that the mafia boss wants, a medical students who says he wants to help her, but tries hard to not fall her and vise versa. It’s a witty and funny book that you will love!

This book is a rambunctious read! Tonia is a beautiful character inside and outside. Doubted and used by her ex husband and still treated differently because of her well endowed assets. Raphael could not notice but how beautiful Tonia is when he first meets her in making sure she is ok from her fall pride her work and then again meeting her when she fell down a flight of stairs. Through goons chasing them and trying to figure out what the heck was tattooed on her rear end, their love grew and survived.
