SYNOPSIS
Power. Greed. Revenge. Submission.
Sierra Winters never planned on falling for the most powerful man in Sydney.
One minute, she's an everyday twenty-eight year old working class office girl the next, she is being blackmailed by Sebastiano Morassi, Sydney's influential crime family boss, to settle her brother's debts.
Sierra knows she should never have gone to him to "save" her brother but she is captivated by him. His monstrous size, his malicious evil glare and more frightening is the scar that marks his left cheek. Never has she never met or seen anyone like him. The more time she spends with this frightening yet captivating man, the harder it becomes to want to escape.
Sebastiano Morassi is pure danger. So why does she crave him? He can make her tremble with fear and make her hairs stand on end but he also has a sweetness to him that tugs at her heart. Sierra soon finds herself merged into his world full of murder, revenge, and deceit.

EXCERPT
Sierra
Walking back into the
church, I found Sebastiano on the steps in front of the altar. He looked
agitated and ruthless as I observed him, toying with his rosary beads. His
shirt looked like it had been haphazardly ripped open. He didn’t resemble the
man I knew; a man who could be harmless, soft and so sweet at times. But deep
down, I know he wasn’t.
His eyes cut into mine as
I approached him. And I could see it: the darkness that lay beneath. It only
took one look from Sebastiano to make me tremble. Still, those looks of warning
didn’t stop the traitorous feelings inside me. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to
him. I should have stayed away from him, but I didn’t want to. The pull was too
strong, too urgent.
I reminded myself that
inside this man’s body, his head, lurked a monster I had yet to be introduced
to.

You seriously have to have this on your TBR list as this is one of the most brilliant books I have ever read.
Hands down fantastic, a book that will have you glued to the pages right to the very end.
I'm in love, in love with Sebastiano, the sexy Don.
This book has everything you need from the awesome, sizzling, kinky sex to the Knight in shining armour.
Oh I will I had one of my very own Sebastiano.
The series title says it all Stud Mafia, and I can safely say, yes they are all studs.
You have the element of danger in this book, the powerful sexy bad boy, and his Famiglia, oh what would it be like to live in that mansion.
This is one book that I am recommending as a must read, a definite one click.

Add to your #TBR now now now...once started I could not stop till had I had finished it...an amazing 5 star read.
I do not have the words to express the rollercoaster of a ride this book is...wow!
Read it because it has a hot older alpha male that loves kinky sex, is rich, powerful and may be a monster (define monster!?!) It has a beautiful but slightly naive sassy love interest that will go to any lengths to protect her baby brother. Her inner strength is heart warming and her bravery is amazing.
Then there is the extended family including The Boys, his daughter, housekeeper and also the Competition. All wonderfully written characters that add dimension to this captivating love story. Have I mentioned this is a mafia mobsters love story...complete with stomach turning violence, gore and retribution? It's not about about one man and one woman but the love of family, the trust and protection of being part of something bigger. This book has it all ...steamy kinky sex scenes character insight and doesn't shy away from the violence that is second nature in a mafia family.
It's brilliantly written and had me gasping at the plot twists. I loved it! Think Godfather intertwined with FSOG...
Review by Emma Mistress of all Dark & Twisted
The Don, the first joint venture by Elle Raven and Aimie Jennison with The Stud Mafia series is truly a perfecto beginning.
Sierra Winters has a few problems; a leary boss, financial worries, family troubles and a brother, Paulie, whose now angered the most powerful man in Australia.... Sebastiano Morassi Aka The Don - head of the Mafia in Australia. Not a man to mess with if you want to survive, he's ruthless, demands loyalty, you give him your respect and never, ever steal what's his or be prepared to feel his wrath.
Sebastiano and Sierra come to an arrangement to pay off Paulie's debt. It's one that takes Sierra into a new world of power, glamour, passion and money but all that comes at a price: deceit, lies, pain and bloodshed. When you're living with the most powerful man in the country don't ever expect to become anything more than a possession that can be traded in an instant.
This tale shows the dark side of life with a powerfully troubled man, whose life has moulded him to be who he needs to be... Can the dangerous, sexually deviant and life threatening way of life he leads truly be what Sierra desires and is she what Sebastiano really wants??
This book truly gripped me from beginning to end, some of the dark scenes feel like your watching 'The Godfather' which means menacing, gritty and displaying a scarily calm execution of what needs to be done. The sex scenes are an off the charts hit, Sebastiano will truly enlighten you!!
