Writing Trapped with the Mob Boss
Trapped with the Mob Boss: A Mafia Romance by Nicole FoxMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
At its heart, Trapped with the Mob Boss is a story about being torn between conflicting loyalties. Do we honor the truth, or stay devoted to the Family? And what happens when the people we love turn out to be different than who we thought they were?
The questions that drive this book are tough - but luckily, the characters are up to the challenge. Yuri is one of my favorite heroes to date, because he does everything 100% - he loves and fights with equal fervor. He finds his match in Bella, a sassy fighter if ever there was one.
Together, they offer an answer to the question of how to navigate betrayal and find hope in dark times.
Enjoy!

When writing Vin
Vin started as a fresh twist on a story as old as time - the knight in shining armor.
When he first storms in to discover Eliza, desperate and on the run, we dislike him immediately. But the dynamic between the two of them shifts quickly, and we start to see new sides of the titular mob boss. He's wry, generous, and has a little bit of a flair for the dramatic. And above all, he protects those around him. Writing Vin was a blast, because his protective nature really leaped off the page at me, while the parallels to Eliza's abusive ex force you to confront some tough aspects of who Vin is and what he does for a living.
Like all of us, Vin is a mix of dark and light.
I hope you enjoyed reading this one as much as I enjoyed writing it!
