~ My Thoughts ~
So this was an amazing Mafia story and no I'm not just saying that to be nice. This was a story about Familia and trust along with hott sex, lies, and love. Everything about this story was amazing. All the characters I loved!! Each one you learned something about. The characters are something else but they do help bring the story life, even if it has to deal with killing, lies, and sex.Each character shows strength nothing to much about showing a weakness. They all had alphness to them, even the females showed it, thinking that they would all clash from that had me on the edge of my seat, but they of course didn't and all went rather well together.
The author did an amazing, outstanding job with the writing of this story hell just getting everything to run so smoothly on paper the way she did was outstanding!! Marita Hansen did a wonderful job with this story, I fell in love with all the characters from the start. Her story is in full need of your attention and believe me; it won't let you go. Hook, line and sinker that's what this story does. I'm in the waiting for and wanting for more of this series, It didn't so much leave me off on a cliffhanger just left me craving and wanting more. I do hope their are more I need more Santini men.
This is a MUST READ!! you don't have my master's nightmare stories but it does help get to know who Bianca is more.

About the Author
NATIONALITY
AND CULTURAL CONNECTIONS: I'm a true
blue Aucklander, born and bred in New Zealand. I tend to write about cultures I
have connections to, such as Croatian and Maori. I would love to visit Croatia
again as I have family there. However, in My Masters' Nightmare, I have started
writing about Italians . My husband is part Italian and I also have a degree in
Italian.SPORTS: As a teen my favorite sports were karate, badminton, and running. I also did unarmed combat and played in a touch rugby team (my gym teacher made me do the last one!) Now, I stick to coaching soccer and running. I have completed two marathons, numerous half-marathons and one 30K run.
CAREER PATH: I started off as a Graphic Designer, then went to Auckland University, where I got a BA degree in Art History and Italian Studies and a post-graduate Honors degree in Art History. I worked in the Art History field, then became a full-time artist, doing commissions. I eventually lost all of my senses and gave it up to be a poor, starving writer, smh.
FAVORITE FOODS: I'm vegetarian. I love pasta based foods, tofu, chocolate mousse and golden queen peaches.
BAD HABITS: I'm a major procrastinator that can't seem to earn money to save myself!
STATUS: Married to my high school sweetheart (which he hates me calling him). We have two kids.
