Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like “Do you write children’s books?” She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she’s actually up to. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. She can often be found haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can find. Silvia writes erotic romance in a variety of genres including contemporary, paranormal, and historical. *** Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie for my reading pleasure, a review wasn’t a requirement. Plus, I really liked Angelo and Devil and I’m already looking forward to their stories. And the secondary storyline, with the Ricci family making a play against Lucien and his family, had enough twists and turns to keep things moving during the second half and showed us how good Peter and Lucien were for each other. It was great seeing Lucien’s control slip slowly where Peter was concerned and let the younger man into his heart. Lucien and Peter had a lot of chemistry and were really hot together. The story was intriguing and engaging and definitely hot. Pete’s not that certain about Lucien being a mob boss, but he’s unable to run away from him and Lucien is determined to keep Peter for himself and protect him from his enemies, who seem to be wanting to make a move against their family. Lucien is set in his ways, closed-off and dominant, and Peter is naturally submissive and even if afraid, he finds himself swept off his feet by Lucien.

And Lucien, the head of a powerful mob family and used to getting what he wants when he wants it, who is unable to stop himself from wanting to make Peter his from the moment they meet. Peter, sweet and young and fairly innocent, who’s thrown to the wolves (so to speak) when his cousin offers him a job as a receptionist at one of Lucien’s businesses.

Lucien and Peter couldn’t be more different if they tried. Yes, there’s BDSM, impact play, edging, violence, so beware if you’re not into those. Lucien was definitely not what I expected even with the warnings, not that that’s a bad thing. It’s not extremely dark, more dark-lite Universal Link Lucien is the first book in Silvia’s new The Marchesi Family Series and contains BDSM, impact play, questionable consent, scenes of mafia violence. Lucien vowed to protect me from his enemies…īut who’s going to protect my heart from him? Once I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t leave. I should never have gone to Lucien’s office. I never imagined the protector I longed for would be a mob boss who demanded complete control.
