Date: 03 5, 2012
What happens when a Chicago wiseguy is tapped to babysit the godfather's gorgeous daughter, and he just happens to have a little "growing" problem when he lies?  In a word, hilarity!Meet Chio Pino, the man with the Pinocchio Syndrome--every time he lies, his male member grows.  Not a large problem, until the godfather, Geppie, asks him to look after his daughter, Rosiaria, who's home for spring break.  Rosa's had a huge crush on Chio for years and decides that now is the time to act on her desires.  Chio wants to return her affections, but he's literally caught between a rock and a hard place.  If he denies his feelings to Rosa, she'll never believe him once she looks in his lap.  If he denies his actions to Geppie, he's a dead man with an appendage the "size of a broom handle."Casea Major has taken the wonderful Italian fairy tale, Pinocchio, and blended it with contemporary language and sizzling love scenes to create an erotic retelling a la The Sopranos.  Chio's strong voice, funny and foul, is the primary source of the laughter that runs throughout the short story.  From the beginning, we root for this obviously "made-for-each-other" couple, and the many hurdles they have to jump, including a meat cleaver wielding Geppie.Don't miss this opportunity for a funny, sexy, hot summer read!
