When a little harmless flirting at a biker bar suddenly takes a turn for the worse and I find myself at odds with the dangerous Fallen Aces gang, I call on the only man I know who can save me.
Anthony Costello may be a vicious mafia boss with a penchant for violence and torture, but he’s also my best friend’s father and the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. His buttoned-up demeanor and grumpy attitude only fuel my desire to take him apart. I live to push all his buttons. And though he says he’s straight, it seems Anthony may have a soft spot and possessive streak for this smart-mouthed twink. Because as war between rival gangs escalates, things between Anthony and I start to heat up. And I think I’d rather like to sit on the king’s lap to watch it all burn.

This MM mafia read is darkly macabre yet hilariously funny. So many intriguing characters that I want more of. Then we have a couple who is total spice. Very fun read.

Dark Mafia boss and a tempting chaotic spitfire make for a very hot, sometimes bloody, full of action read. Can’t wait for more of these Mafia men

OMG this book! I don’t even know where to begin! It’s dark, very dark, so be sure to read the TWs. Still, it’s very funny in parts. I love Anthony’s intensity! Tatum is a sweet little brat who charms an entire Mafia organization with his sunny, flirtatious ways.Cora Rose fills this mafia family with so many unique personalities that I am drawn deep into this world. I really need to read more about Angel, Bane, and company!I can’t wait for the next book in this series.Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved this story, it kept me engaged throughout. Itâs a sweet story with a bit of gore and bloodshed in between! I loved the connection between Tatum and Anthony, and how Anthony just couldnât stay away from their growing relationship, getting more and more possessive over him. Tatum is a fun loving ball of flirtatious energy, who everybody just loves. In a moment anguish he turned to Anthony for help. He always had the hots for Anthony, I mean who wouldnât love a sexy mafia man! But Anthony is straight right?Anthony has had this interest in Tatum he could fathom, but the more Tatum pushes and cajoles, he canât help but wanting to get closer and touches become more!There was lots of heated moments as their connection grew and some wonderful steamy scenes!Itâs all so well written, I love all the side characters and their connections with each other too, like one big loving mafia family. I have a huge soft spot for psycho Bane with his need to collect body parts and gift eyeball and finger jewellery. He was so cute and loveable, I hope he gets a story. I also want a to hear more on Anthonyâs son & Tatums friend – Angelo. I hope he gets a story too, I want to know heâs happy!Burn = Med,OM Drama = No,Alpha Men = Absolutely, ð¯Heat = 10/10, ð¥Angst = Low,MM/FF = Yes, MMPOV = 1st Person, MPVGenre = Contemporary MafiaTriggers = Many – blood, knifeâs, intense torture, violence, guns, lots of body parts, kidnapping, deathBook = Standalone, Bk 1 in series

Cora Rose has truly outdone herself with this book in my opinion. Seeing as it’s her first real mafia book (although we do get glimpses of this life through Diablo and Ben) it was honestly just superb! I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for this book, so excited for Tatum and Anthony’s story and it blew my mind. I’m a sucker for age gap, morally grey characters, grumpy meets sunshine and ‘I’m straight but still obsessed with you’ vibes ðð¤«. This story had all this and so much more! The plot was amazing and kept you guessing at some things, and the side characters were so interesting as well. We’ve already met Angel, but in this we meet more characters and trust me when I say you’ll be screaming for their stories as well. I know I am. Hands down, one of my favourite Cora reads to date.Tatum and Anthony were absolutely perf ft together, and the chemistry was off the charts! ð¥ð¥ð¥µ The spicy scenes will have you heating up in no time. I can’t rant enough about it honestly, I loved the voyeurism, the possessiveness, the protectiveness and the fact that not only does Tatum have a safe place with Anthony, Anthony also finds a safe place with Tatum as well, just in different ways.Anthony is your typical mafia boss, cold, calculating, shutting down his emotions even concerning his own sons in order not to appear weak, while Tatum is loud, proud, flirtatious and vivacious. He’s the life of any party and turns head wherever he goes. It’s only fair that Anthony is obsessed within 5 minutes of meeting him, although he’s VERY good at hiding it ð¤«.Seriously, I can’t wait for the next book, (but I will wait patiently for anything Cora puts out ð) I can’t even tell you which character I hope it follows because they are all so interesting.

Multiple fans needed!!
Okay look. I have read every single one of Coraâs books including the anthology snippets, and this one has easily turned into one of my top two favorite books from her.I didnât really know what to expect from this book because it seemed it was going to be tad different from her other books, but I couldnât be 100% sure. The street teams for this one was amazing and made me exited for it.I like to be vegan my reviews for books because personally I feel like thereâs no point in reading it if you give away the whole plot of the book so I just wanna tell everyone just enough information that also makes them want to read this book, and Iâm telling you right now that everyone needs to READ THIS BOOK!!The chemistry between the two main characters is so palpable that you could cut the freaking tension with a knife. I swear I had to sit in the middle of my floor with all of my fans and air conditioning turned on high and pointed at me because this book was HOT HOT MOTHER FLIPPING HOT! Oooooo lordy jesus itâs a fire.One of my favorite things about this book that I think everyone will enjoy as well, is watching what someone will do for someone they love no matter how dark and depraved it is. Cora made The Silencer is a clear smack you right in your face statement of never ending true love, and fidelity. It was darkly beautiful in its story.A 10/10. A multiple reread (which I did). A blatantly loyal and loving story. All Iâm gonna say is that everyone needs to read this book because I personally believe itâs one of Coraâs best books, and thatâs saying something because I absolutely love all of her books.So, fly to Apple, Amazon, or Google, download it on your Kindle or other reading devices right now! GO GO GO!

Cora Does it Again
I literally *devour* everything this author writes, and I’m *never* disappointed! Love the start of this new series, and I love that there are more to come. The heat is ð¥ð¥ð¥ and story telling I’d perfection ðð¾. How she can make a book, sweet, silly, hilarious, and dangerous all at the same time I’ll never know lol.

cute
I loved Bane so much. I liked all of the characters really but there were a few times I rolled my eyes at Tatumâs immaturity. Still a slay as always though.

Very steamy MM mafia
This was different than most mafia books that I have read. I loved Tatum’s energy. I decided very early on that he had so much light and playful energy about him. I squealed when Anthony gave him the nickname âLittle Lightâ because itâs exactly how I already felt about him. I do wish that the growth of their relationship was paced out a bit more. Their sexual relationship developed a little too quickly for me and I didnât feel a strong connection between the two because of it. I also felt like there could have been more plot and less sex. I love spice, but I need a solid plot to go along with it. For all of the things that I didnât like, I was completely enamored with Tatum and Teddy’s silent friendship. Those little moments of friendship gave me life! Overall, I enjoyed reading to an extent, I just think that maybe it wasnât my cup of tea.

His Little Light
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! It was a fantastic mix of dark and funny! Tatum and Anthony were hot and feral right from the start. Even in the beginning with Tatum being in such a rough spot, he keeps his humor and his obsession with Anthony. I loved Anthonyâs own obsession with Tatum. He states heâs not gay yet, he claims Tatum for himself and gets supremely jealous over the others even looking at him. The banter between the two kept the story moving and I adored how Tatum riled Anthony up to get what he wantedâ¦spicey times!!And OMG! The side characters!! Bane, the lovable psychopath!! I canât wait to see who claims him because I am just DYING to see what gifts Bane comes up with for them. Luca and Viktorâ¦I absolutely NEED to know whatâs going there. Angelâ¦I almost cried for him when Tatum video chatted with him that last time, so I need this sweet boy to have the biggest HEA there is!!Canât forget that this is a mafia story so there is quite a bit of gore and violence, from Bane and from Anthony, but overall the story was fantastic and canât wait to keep reading this series.

5 Stars
Cora Rose writes the perfect balance of dark, humorous, and sweet in this book. I genuinely enjoyed this new world and seeing Anthony slowly bend for Tatum. I love the morally grey villain and the sunshine character. It just hits that sweet spot! Tatum is the perfect balance to Anthony. Not only did I love the main story, but I am absolutely feral over the side characters and found family aspect of this story. I can’t wait to see what else comes out in this series!!! I gobbled this book up in a day. I highly recommend it!Tropes Include:MM Love InterestsDual POVAge GapDark RomComMob Boss x Sass QueenBest Friend’s FatherGay for HimTouch Him and DieFound FamilyHigh HeatLow AngstHEA

We are all mad here ð¼
Well, this one was insane! I loved the roller-coaster storyline and the unique crazy characters.I gotta tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart with all the colorful descriptions but great for the genre’s fans.There were some parts that took the phrase “thinking with the wrong head” to another level, and that was a bit much for me. I mean, some things need to be seriously discussed even if you are horny..Overall, it was a great book and an awesome start to the new series.

Fantastic!
I’m so blown away by The Silencer that I’m finding hard to write this review. This is Cora Rose at her best. This book has it all. It’s funny, entertaining, spicy, dark, intense, and sweet. It has a fantastic storyline and amazing characters as well. I love Cora’s books, but this one is definitely one of the best for me. The side characters of this book are so good that I can’t wait to see whose story is coming next. Highly recommended!
