  From the electrifying first encounter between Ruby, a woman desperately wanting to escape blackmail, and Luca Marino, the enigmatic “Mafia Prince,” Flora Ferrari throws you into a world of simmering desire and lurking danger. Their initial text message exchange, born from desperation, quickly evolves into a passionate and perilous dance, fueled by Luca's possessiveness and Ruby's blossoming feelings.
  
  Ferrari expertly crafts a captivating tension through their contrasting personalities. Ruby's innocence clashes beautifully with Luca's world-weariness, highlighting their individual complexities and the challenges their connection faces. Each text message becomes a charged exchange, revealing secrets, igniting passion, and pushing them closer to a point of no return.

  The thing I love most about these books are those moments when everything screeches to a halt as the eyes of the MMC fall on the woman he knows will change his life forever. Ruby was an adorable mix of youth and naivety when she approached Luca Marino to ask for his help. Despite her trepidations about his Mafia connections, she saw him as her knight in shining armor. Sensing her fear, Luca is unsure if she’s ready for his kind of life and although he has never killed anyone who didn’t deserve what they got, he still has plenty of blood on his hands. Could Ruby love a man like that? I loved how understanding Luca was when Ruby was uncertain about taking the next step in their relationship, showing the kind of man he was. Yet, notwithstanding the obstacles in their path, Luca and Ruby have an undeniable connection that not even an involuntary separation can break; a connection only highlighted by the lengths Luca will go to, to protect the woman he loves.

  Meeting His Soulmate -
  I initially thought this book would be similar to ‘Texting Mr Mafia’ based on the title, but I was really wrong, as Flora Ferrari took my on one heck of a reading journey filled with angst, suspense and drama. I found myself eagerly turning the pages as I read the storyline about the sexual harassment, bullying, political manipulation. However, I was on the edge of my seat, as I read the pages about the way the hero took no prisoners when he finally resolved the matter.
  
  Fortunately, patience, determination and great communication skills, helped the hero get the girl and the happily ever after that he craved. This is a story that deserves your entire focus when you start read it, because there is no chance you will want to take a break, until you reach the end. You will definitely enjoy reading it and be happy to recommend it.

  Ruby is at the gym with her sister trying to distract herself from what’s really on her mind and going on at home when she see’s Luca. She is instantly drawn to him and when she finds out who he is and what he does, she gives him her number because she’s determined he’s the only one that can help her. Luca was also immediately drawn to Ruby, so it’s no shock he agrees to help her. So when he starts feeling more, and wants to pursue her, he’s not exactly sure what to do, and she’s not exactly sure she’s ready. A few things start to add up and it starts to feel a little more like fate, as they navigate how it’s all going to work. While they are also figuring out Ruby’s problem and that there’s even more going on that’s about to be uncovered.

  I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
  
  In this book we meet Ruby Fitzgerald & Luca Marino. Ruby needs help and when she sees Luca in the gym one day she knows he can be just the man to do it. The problem she has though is she is deeply attracted to him and is sure he doesn't feel the same. Luca is just looking to blow off some steam one day. The problem with that is little punks at the gym just drive him crazy. When he sees Ruby he wants to know more he didn't realize how important she would become to him though. Can these two find a HEA or will others make sure that never happens?
  
  Another amazing hit out of the park by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

  A Mafia Prince and a little historian. These two couldn't be more different, or you would think. He is all confidence, experienced, skill, muscle, swagger, Alpha to the core, while she is completely innocent, intellect, shyness and hesitancy. Yet, when they come together the reaction is explosive, instant, hot and unyielding. Ruby has a problem, and Luca will stop at nothing to ensure it is resolved - permanently. Will this collaboration lead to more for them?
  I am a huge fan of Ferrari's work, and I love these longer books as we can get more invested in the characters and their lives/relationships. Thank you Flora!!

  Wow, what a page turner. I read Texting the Mafia Prince by Flora Ferrari in one setting. i don't even read the book descriptions anymore because I already I am going to love it. Luca and Ruby's story kept me reading to the last page. Ruby asks the "Mafia Prince" for help when she sees him at the gym. Ruby is being blackmailed and Luca is the only person that can help. Luca becomes immediately obsessed with Ruby and he will not only eliminate Nate, but he will claim Ruby as his. She will belong to him and no one else.

  Ruby finds herself in a difficult situation where she is being blackmailed to do something she knows is wrong but doesn’t know what else to do. When she sees Luca at a fitness centre that they both attend she reaches out to him for help but receives so much more in return.
  
  Luca was enchanted by Ruby from the first time he saw her so when she reaches out to him for help he can’t see know even knowing the wrath it bring down on his family. There is nothing he won’t do to protect Ruby and claim her for his own.
  
  A little suspense, hot chemistry and a love that will conquer all.

  This is book 2 in the Texting the Marino Mafia series. The books are stand alone but the books are interconnected. Reading book 1 will help understand some of the characters. I liked how fast Luca knew Ruby was the one for him. He was so protective of Ruby which I loved. Also enjoyed the side characters Colt and Lexi. Hoping their book is next.

  I enjoyed this second book as much as the first one in this series. They can be read independent but I found it helped to have read the first one to get the full understanding of all the characters. As always this is an insta love story. I gave it tree stars because it did not quite capture my attention and it took me longer than usual to read through it.
