I so enjoyed Mafia Secret. I thought is was well written with a great blend of romance and suspense. When the book started you were introduced to Allessandra Noelle, who is a professional cheer leader. The acrobatic kind not the Dallas kind. Immediately you are thrown into a danger plot. Not sure if these threats are from a jealous co-worker Leesa decides to take off after being nearly run down in the parking lot. She gets home to pack and there is a magazine cover there that has her picture on it. So now she is pretty sure it is not a crazed fan, but a girl who was cut from the tryouts.Enter Marco Santo, holding a letter that changes Lessa's entire life. The fact is Peter was always her Dad and he died when she was 6. No it turns out this Marco drops a bomb as her paternity issues unravel, so does the hunt for Jiovanni Tazio's killer. The family is torn due to Jiovanni's indiscretions  They all rally when needed and distance themselves when they need to protect each other. Stronger is a word I would use for Jio the eldest and now in charge of the family.Lessa's love story is  sort of secondary to the mob family and their secrets. If you love a romantic thriller, then this is for you. It is equally appealing to the chick lit lover in me. I really wanted it to be a bit longer at a few points I thought it was a little rushed. So for me it could have been a little more descriptive at points to make the highs a little higher.
