A dangerous proposal
Las Vegas Mafia boss, Nico Toscani, is used to getting what he wants, whether it is having the City of Sin under his rule or a beautiful woman in his bed. But when he meets his match in the gorgeous, headstrong Mia Cordano, the daughter of a rival crime lord, all bets are off. . .
Sexy computer hacker, Mia, struggles to break free of her ruthless father’s Mafia ties…but she can’t resist the powerful and seductive Nico, who will stop at nothing to possess her. With their families locked in a brutal war for control of the city, Mia and Nico enter into a forbidden game. Will they surrender to the passion that burns between them—and risk tearing apart their families? Or will Nico be forced to betray the only woman who sets his blood on fire?

Sexy, hard to put down and my new favorite book of 2016! I fell completely in love with Nico, he’s a good guy who does bad things, a bad boy I don’t feel dirty falling in love with. He is a Mafia boss, and I admit I have no idea anything about Mafia bosses, besides TV but I would fall in love with Nico if I could.
Mia is a great heroine, she stands up for herself and those around her, and she will even sacrifice herself to save those she loves. She doesn’t want to live the Mafia life, but she is stuck in the Mafia life because she was born into it. So she definitely doesn’t want to fall in love with a rival families Mafia boss, even if he is gorgeous and has a huge soft spot for her.
This book has it all, it’s got a family saga feel with the sexy, high action romance that had me glued to the page and I couldn’t put it down. Mia and Nico are beautiful together, even with a few moments where they got in their own way, in the end, I was deeply satisfied and look forward to the rest of this series.
