Get ready for mafia, mayhem, and madness!Enzo Marchionni is New Orleans’ hottest chef, the middle child in a mafia family, and the recipient of an unwanted gift… simple—convince the girl of his dreams he deserves a second chance. However, it’s not that easy when following his heart could put himself, and everyone he loves, in danger.
Shanna Isaac is a wannabe private investigator, with a case load of cheating spouses, and a horrible track record with men. When her best friend asks her to be maid of honor, Shanna agrees…
…even if that means spending time with The Ghoster, the man who dumped her like a bad Tinder date, just when she started to believe in happily-ever-afters.
Unfortunately, every bad decision has consequences. It turns out Shanna and Enzo’s almost-relationship might have started a mob war. Her only hope is to accept protection from the one man who could destroy her.
If she can’t trust him with her heart. How in the heck can she trust him with her life?
You’ll love this romantic comedy with a smidgen of suspense, because everyone loves a bad boy trying to be a good man.

This is the second book in the Bourbon Street Bad Boys Club and it is a fantastic one. I must admit I didn’t read the first book but had no problems when reading this one. It features Enzo and Shanna. After an exciting PI job Shanna ends up in Sicily for her bff, Maggie’s wedding to Enzo’s big brother, Gabe. Thing are running hot and cold for these two when there is an attempt on their life while sightseeing and then on Shanna’s life outside the wedding. Enzo escorts Shanna and the other attendants home to New Orleans while the rest of the family stays in Italy. Enzo’s job is to keep Shanna safe. We have an Italian wedding, a dying Mafiosi, a meddling, conniving Italian mother, a sweet Nanny/housekeeper, a spoiled Mafia princess, 6 brothers, a good friend, corrupt politicians, rival Mafia families, and two stubborn people who care about each other.
The book is a good romantic suspense read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable, entertaining, action, and romantic suspense read.

I read this & loved it:) I like how the chapters gave both her point of view & his. You don’t see that often in books. The suspense had a good build up & it worked out nicely at the end. This book is very well worth reading:) I strongly recommend it.

The next couple of days they were flying out to Italy for a wedding she is not anxious to see Enzo since he ghosted her when they were dating but she is a private investigator in training so she goes in and Enzo lets her know what is happening with the soup. Maggie’s fiance’s Gabe is brother to Lorenzo aka Enzo and she tells Shanna that he is really nice and keeps to himself. Enzo did it, he ghosted Shanna and has no plans to change his mind even though she seems like the only woman who could make him happy because they got along so well together at the gala that it scared him but he never plans to marry so it doesn’t matter he believes until his brother gets a look at Shanna and he is quick to change his mind on being with her. In Italy she is having second thoughts when En Enzo is wanting to show her their little town of Comiso. Great story line and the characters are very entertaining. Action, Romantic suspense, mystery thriller. Book 1 in this series.

This story has it all, romance, mystery, intrigue, mafia retaliation, and of course a HEA. Shanna and Enzo have chemistry but they have to overcome his family’s mafia connections and sort out who is out to get Shanna. The Marchionni family think that no one knows their secrets and they are finding that getting out of the Mafia is not as easy as they thought. I can’t wait to read the next book and find out what Marco and Niko are up to.
