Boris
Life’s been hard, working for the Russian Mafia is no bed of roses. I’ve seen my share of evil the wrong men do, but I’ve also seen the good things. Grace is one of those, the best thing that could ever happen to me. From the first time I saw her, I knew it – but I wouldn’t admit it. I’ve finally met a woman to tame the wild man inside me, a curvaceous, blue-eyed all American dream of a … all American dream of a girl. She’s smart too, maybe too smart?
I try to forget her and leave her in peace, but when she comes snooping around. I have to stop her and find out more. I’ve never been afraid of anything before, but this beauty has brought me to my knees. My life is dangerous. I’ve only ever had to look after number one.
And another thing, her dad used to be my best friend.
Grace
The first time I saw him, I was hooked. I was terrified. Afraid but intrigued by this tough vodka drinking Russian. I never guessed in my wildest dreams that he’d be interested in a girl like me. I mean he must be twice my age – he was dad’s best man at his wedding. He’s the sexiest, wildest looking man I’ve ever seen. When he looks at me, I can see the longing in his eyes, the passion in his soul as he undressed me with his eyes, and I needed to find out more.
*My Dad’s Russian Mafia Friend is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

This very well-written, short OTT, instant everything is a good story with well-developed characters that fall for each other and want what they think they cannot have. These characters have an age difference that may be an obstacle, but if you really love someone does it matter. A great quick read like all Ferrari stories. A very realistic story and this is one of my favorites.

Boris Bykov was Grace Johnson’s dad’s best friend. He had even been the best man at his wedding. Now he was stopping in for a visit since he has mafia business to take care of, and Grace was eager to meet the man she had heard about for so long. He had been back in Russian for 21 years now; she was a baby when he last saw her. Watching out her window, she sees him ride up on a motorcycle, all dressed in black and very fit. She can almost feel his presence! Her mom downstairs sounds a little nervous, telling her to come down and meet Boris. She can understand the nervousness when she walks into the kitchen and he looks at her. Her entire body reacts to him, but not in a fearful way. Her dad comes home and pours vodka for both of them, then Boris says Grace should join them. He told her to drink the entire shot down all at once. She did, but her knees almost buckled – was it the shot, or the man causing that?
Boris asks if Grace has a boyfriend, and her mother tells him she is having trouble with a guy who won’t leave her alone. Boris immediately says he will take care of it if Grace needs help with the guy. She says no, but Boris insists on keeping Marcus from stalking her. He again repeats that he will protect her, as he kisses the back of her hand. She has him thinking of a future when he can’t. He has nothing to offer a good girl like this. His life is hard and dangerous.
When Grace walks to her car, she finds a note on her windshield from Marcus with a threatening tone to it, saying that if he can’t have her, no one will. They had only had one date, so it was difficult to understand his obsession. Then a text came in on her phone – “I’m coming for you!” Now was the time to ask Boris for help. But there is more danger here than either realized. Will he be able to keep her safe? Will they find a future with each other?
Boris was a friend of her dads when they were younger! He came from Russia to take care of some mafia business but fell in love with Grace. She was being stalked by a guy she had one date with and her life was threatened. So Boris took care of Marcus because their mafia was having trouble with his father. Their lives were threatened by the mafia but finally the cops took in the head guy of the people they were having problems with. Boris took and got their problems taken care of and Grace’s parents accepted that they were together. Yay! Another great book by Flora!!
Boris is in town and visiting a friend. There he meets Grace. Boris is instantly smitten but he needs to be careful, he is in town for a job. Grace is curious about Boris. She wants to know all about him. However, when Grace’s stalker turns out to be who Boris is in town for, Boris now has to protect Grace even if he loses everything.

The right mix of suspense, romance, and steam
Grace, a college student, is at home when Boris, a member of the Russian mafia and her father’s best friend, shows up a little early for a visit after being out of the country for quite a few years. As the story progresses sparks fly, a nuisance turns into mutual danger, and not all obstacles can be overcome. This latest addition to Flora Ferrari’s A Man Who Knows What He Wants series has the right mix of suspense, romance, and steam for a quick insta-everything read.

Flora Ferrari’s books just keep getting better and better!! I’ve said it with each book of hers that I have read, but I swear it’s true, and will keep saying it until she shows me otherwise.
Usually Ms. Ferrari’s stories are quick, sweet stories, and honestly this one is too, but it is also the most violent one of hers I have read so far, which adds a hint more realism to the story – not that I’m complaining about any of the others because God knows I am NOT doing that at all.
I now have almost a dozen books by Ms. Ferrari, and she has over 150 written. I am extremely anxious to get all of her other books so that I can complete her collection. She has quickly become one of my favorite Authors!

Grace is a college student and can’t believe her eyes when her mom introduces her to Boris. There are instant sparks. When she tells him about a guy that keeps bothering her, he promises too solve the issue. He vows to protect her always. Great HEA in the end.

Striving For A New Life –
This is a powerful, sexy and steamy no holds barred romance story. It has enough sizzle to make you need an ice cold drink, whilst you are reading the book. I always get a really delightful feeling every time I read a book from Flora Ferrari.

This was well-written as is usually found with one of Flora Ferraris books but I cannot help but feel that the Mafia theme has become a little repetitious and overused as of late. Not just by Ms. Ferrari, but by a number of other authors as well. Maybe it is time to move onto some new scenarios? Do not get me wrong, I still enjoyed it and it had the trademark sizzle one knows will be found in a book by Ms. Ferrari as well as a great HEA, I just felt like I had read it before since it was so similar to other books of hers in this same theme.

Older man/younger woman story. This is a story of Boris and Grace. A man who definitely knows what he wants and when he sees her for the first time it is instant and all encompassing. He will do anything to have her and protect her. Book has a happily ever after. Story has a lot of chemistry and passion.
