Publisher's summary

**Now an Amazon Top 70 Best Seller**

When I leave a note for the mafia don at his table, I beg for his help. I never expect him to text back or to tell me he wants something in return…


My dad’s got us into trouble again. His get-rich-quick schemes always mess up the family. Now, loan sharks are circling, and I’m unsure what to do.

When I see Elio Marino at the restaurant where I am a waitress, I almost lose it. My mind. My soul. I fall hard, but I have to be smart. This isn’t a fairytale.

He’s tall, way taller than me, ripped with muscle, mature, and brooding as hell. I know I can’t have what I want deep down, but I need his help to make the loan sharks back off.

When I give him my number, I never expect his texts to get steamy. I never expect him to demand my address—demand to see me. I know I have to be smart about this.

I’ve got no relationship experience. I’m a curvy virgin. I just want to save my family.

His texts are getting more and more possessive. The loan sharks are gaining on us. Somehow, Elio is tied up in it all. I know I should listen to my head, but my heart is so damn loud.

* Texting Mr. Mafia is an insta-everything romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. Look out for book two, coming soon!

IA narration

I struggled to finish this story. I honestly don't know if it was the writing or the AI narration. the narration was not good at all. U S instead of us. Lots of things like that.

The story was OK but AI narration ruined it.

While it was a bit immature and simplistic, the story had some merit. But the virtual voice was terrible. And if you are going to use virtual narration, why not use female and make duet? Monotone male voice for the entire book often adding inflections in the wrong place… honestly having Siri read the book from my screen would have been a step up.

Appreciate voice actors. AI has its place but reading this type of book is not it.

Texting Mr. Mafia

The virtual narration didn't bother me.
The story was exciting & I liked it.
I think it lost "something"along the way, though.

OK but prefer a living reader

The story was enjoyable but the narration was pretty robotic. certainly better than the old computer voices but frequently the emphasis and/or emoting was just not real. Made it hard to really get invested in the characters.

Love the story line but the narration could have been better and a different voice for the lady parts.
Love to hear more from this author.

Fun smutty story with an odd narration choice

Caveat that I'm only about an hour in but intend to finish.

This is a fun sort of love at first sight between the protagonists. The age gap is quite large (19 and 32) but it's not been super central. What I don't understand is if they decided to use Virtual Voice for narration why did they make both POVs sound identical. The narration lacks the voice acting and nuance that makes it obvious who is talking or whose internal monologue we're following. I would have preferred voice actors or at least two distinct virtually generated voices.

Edit: DNF
