Work Husband Series
Dante
When I was younger, I believe I almost stumbled upon something I shouldn’t have. Something that upset my mother and made her abandon us all. It was all my fault.

I grew up wondering how she could leave us? My older brothers never blamed me, but I’ve blamed myself. So much so I never asked questions when I was thrown into the family business. Then I had my little girl. I thought I could take a vacation from being a Di Lorenzo.

However, my selfish wife has ensured my return to the life. I will no longer be able to remain an outsider to what my brothers and I have been handed.

Lizzy
The Di Lorenzo’s have secrets. I know a lot about having those. When Gio Di Lorenzo hired me five years ago, I knew those secrets would come out. His younger brother Dante doesn’t know who I am and now I’m stepping into shoes I never thought I’d fill.

When this becomes personal, all thoughts of keeping my secrets go out the window. In the blink of an eye, I become who I was created to be.

Will the truth tear everything apart? Will there be one secret too many? Or will it all go according to plan in this unexpected love?

    I absolutely love and was super absorbed in this boom. Fair warning to everyone that decides to read this book. Do NOT read with others around. Between stopping myself from laughing out loud or sucking my teeth and even worse, snapping on someone who interrupted my reading. You will not like to be disturbed at all.

    Liz and Dante have so much in common, even though neither knows right away. I love how Bella knows she can count on Liz when it comes to safety and being around. But also, I love Bella in general.

    Bella is Dante's 5-year-old old daughter. She goes to being neglected by her cow of a mother, Bethany. And really seek the attention from her mother, and Bethany refuses to give it to her. She actually doesn't like her daughter and finds Bella to be annoying. Bethany is overall trash and a horrible person. But Bella is a lovey and funny little girl. And did I mention she's very bossy? Lol
    I love and enjoy reading Bella's spunk and love how she tells her father, Dante point blank he was messing things up in getting Liz to become her new mommy. That little girl is going to be a force to mess with once she gets bigger. Lol

    I really enjoyed this book, and I'm so excited to find out what is happening with the other characters involved in this book.

    I want to really go in on a bunch of stuff that happened; that left me with a lot of questions. But since I feel like it would spoil some things for others, I'm not going to. Instead, I'll wait for the next book to come out to open up more there.

    All I am going to say is this is a book that any new reader will enjoy.

    Hero: Dante is a loving father who is married to a woman who neither loves him nor their daughter all the while heading his family’s billionaire dollar corporation and mafia empire.

    Heroine: Lizzy is a shy, often insecure bookworm who works as one of Dante’s personal assistants while maintaining a massive following as a gaming influencer. Unbeknownst to Dante, Lizzy harbors a crush for him and was secretly hired by his older brother to be Dante’s bodyguard.

    After Dante’s wife is murdered and his businesses keep being attacked, Dante is forced to hire Lizzy as a live-in PA and as his daughter’s companion. Lizzy easily assimilates to the role of work wife and substitute mother to Dante’s daughter while fighting her growing attraction to Dante who also tries to suppress his feelings for Lizzy.

    As months pass, both continue to suppress their love for the other until they are forced to acknowledge and accept who has grown between the two. Once together, they endure Lizzy’s secret profession and a kidnapping before they reach their HEA.

    Lizzy and Dante were both two well-developed characters who behaved age-appropriate. So many authors have adult characters behaving life teenager with incessant whining and angst. That was not the case with these characters. Explicit sex scenes didn’t fall from every chapter which was a plus for me. Everything about the plot unfolded naturally and within believable timeframes. The supporting characters well also fully rounded and enough Easter eggs were planted for the next books in the series to keep readers intrigued. I’ve never enjoyed a billionaire/mafia story as much as I’ve enjoyed this one. Well done Mrs. Saffire!! I await the rest of the books in this series.

    This was an unexpected slow read in the beginning.. however it gets revved up quick with a few characters you are wanting to punch in the throat! I am liking this family, the Di Lorenzo brother's, especially, Gio. You won't get his story in this book, but pay attention because he is becoming a master and a key player. The gems of this story are Dante, and you better not sleep on the quiet and nerdy, Ms Lizzy....I enjoyed how they came together. There were a few spots in the book that left you raising an eyebrow 🤔, wondering if it made sense or why the point made... but the story flowed on, so you weren't confused for too long... My fav part, and not giving anything away.. was when the skates first came out... this is where you get to experience the visual and mind of Ms. Blue.. because my visual mind movie kick on and it was as if you were there on edge with popcorn 🍿! Ok.. I'm ready for #2 and Dario and Carleen's story.. and hope to get more of a glimpse of Nyla!...

    Dante and Lizzy's story read so fast that I had to force myself to slow down because I didn't want it to end. I'm so undecided on who I'm infatuated with the most that I think I just want them both. And yes, I'm talking about Dante and Gio. I don't know too much about Dario,but I will when I read his story. Lizzy was the best. She was a mixture of so many women that you had to just love her. Like Gio said, its something about Lizzy. Just look how Bella immediately fell in love with her. And Bella was just the sweetest little girl who acted like a little girl. I loved Dante and Lizzy together. They were love, spice and everything nice that you fell completely head over heels for them. Dante with his quiet lethal love and Lizzy with her caring protective love made for the perfect couple and family for Bella. I love Blue's story and this one didn't disappoint. All of her books read like a well flowing movie. You just gotta grab on and be ready for each adventure she takes you on.

    Omg, I want more. This book is sensational. I didn't realize that it's book one in a series, and I'm going to start book two immediately.This is not your ordinary work romance. The characters are great, the story development is fantastic, and the plot kept me intrigued. This book is a BWWM office romance meets mafia romance with an assistant with secret skill sets.

    Book 2 does not quite gell it seems to me with the sequence of events in book 1 . Dario and Carleen are already pregnant and yet Nonno asked Dante when he is going to give him a grandson. Despite this excellent book.
