Jillian Smith thought she had met the man of her dreams but when she overhears talks about his ties to the mafia she knows she needs to flee. Having his son is a carefully guarded secret she has hidden but Vittorio d'Severano sweeps in and makes it very clear he is taking his son with or without her. Jillian has to decide if she is willing to put her ideals aside to keep her son and not lose her heart in the process.
Entertaining. I thought this was fast paced and initially did not like Vittorio but he grows on you. I would check out mote from this author.

This book is all about his and hers mafia secrets. It is an interesting story and characters. Lots of insecurities by both main characters, lots of angst for Jill. Her big secret leads to a lot of heartache for her and when It's revealed, it is accepted a lot easier than I thought it would be. Convenient cleanup at the end, but it's an HP and we all get our HEA!

This isn't my usual favorite plotline, but it was a nice change of pace and I enjoyed it. I'll have to check out more by this author.
The sex was pretty darn steamy for an HP. I thought the consummation scene was particularly hot if you like the dominating alpha-male thing.
I read through some of the other reviews prior to purchasing this and I'm glad I gave it a chance despite all the anti-heroine sentiments flying around. I expected tstl, but in my opinion that wasn't the case at all. If she had been a "regular person" with no ties to organized crime then I'd say she was pretty darn silly. However, once you learn of her past, the reputation of the H's family and how it intersects with hers - I found it completely understandable (if not always completely rational) for her to panic the way she did. I'm sure she had some PTSD issues, anyone would. Personally, I respected her for putting her child's safety/life first.
