Italian Ice
SILVIO I swore I’d never touch my best friend’s little sister, but… …Paisley’s making it hard AF. Someone’s after her. To keep her safe, I’ll bring her into my underworld. Problem is, now I have to protect her… from me. PAISLEY Fire melts ice, but not his. It’s Silvio face I picture when I close my eyes. He’s the echo in every melody, my sweetest taboo. When I need his help, he comes for me, but so does the wall he’s erected between us. He wants to deny our attraction. When I get him alone this time, I’ll make it impossible to ignore the fire that rages every time we touch.

Family ain’t always wanted
Paisley was always attracted to Silvio Santino but her stepbrother was his best friend who forced them to stay apart because he was a selfish and hateful brat. Fast forward twenty years and Ian's real personality comes to the fore which brings out Silvio’s protection mode for Paisley. Greed can bring out the devil in people and Ian succumbed to his demons. He may have known Silvio but he surely did not know ALL about his connections and paid the price.
No longer able to resist their forced twenty-year separation, Paisley and Silvi make up for lost time and what could have been. Now they have their HEA and family they desire.

Thirsty female.
Couldn’t finish this one. The begging heroine just bothered me. By the time I quit reading (chapter 3) she’d thrown herself at the hero way too many times. Not an enjoyable read for me.

Don't mess with Silvio & Paisley!
This book was H.O.T! I loved the back story of how Silvio and Paisley new each other. Their song has been 20 years in the making. And Paisley was done waiting on Silvio to make a move. But Silvio has his reasons for icing Paisley out. You want to talk about HOT? Their story was not only hot. It was sexy, sassy, dangerous, steamy and naughty with some humor mixed in. Ok no specific spoilers. You're just going to have to read the book. The caneo appearances of some favorite characters made this book that 🔥🔥🔥 And the epilogue is a MUST READ. Siera London fans are gonna love this book. I definitely did.

hell yeah it’s getting hot in here
Silvio and Paisley had a long road to something very special. That road was paved with not good intentions hidden in the background. Silvio thought he was doing the right thing by leaving Paisley alone. Some twenty years later she still finds her way to the only man she was willing to love.
I love the five we and the quick bites with lasting impact.

Jealousy
Nothing like having to share that can bring out someone's true nature. Silvi and Pays had such a strong and deep connection from the very beginning. Some didn't like it. But heart and soul knows who it belongs too. Greed, jealousy and hatred were aimed at the wrong people.
Love for Silvi was too dangerous until now. He finally caught up to what Paisly ment and felt all of these years later. This is another great story in the LTC collection. Can't wait to read more about this family.

Pays and Silvi's second chance quickie was a grand stand read with a somewhat 20 years slow burn, secrets with a foolish brother and best friend.
S. London is a great writer! ...
On to Corso and Jessie's story!
5 stars!!!!🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Silvio and Paisley have a shared love that spans those awkward teenage years and has festered for twenty long years. Their love finally is becoming a reality. Should they have ignored the warnings and left this love as the mystery it has always been? A nice lead into Savage bloodlines.

Really Good
Silvio and Paisley romance started when they were teenagers. It took 20 years for them finally be together. It was worth the wait. I love how Silvio always kept watch on Paisley through out her life.

Well written
This was a well written, extremely enjoyable read. I make this observation because this book has made me want to read more about the characters included in the story.

I loved Lunchtime Chronicles Italian Ice!! I loved the characters Silvio and Paisley. When they were on the the table was so icey hot. Italian Ice was entertaining, short with a little bit of suspense and a great playlist!! And Corso's character sounds interesting can't wait to read about him. I enjoyed reading it and recommend you check out this book/series.

This is a public service announcement
Read Italian Ice asap. Silvi and Paisley did not come to play. They knew who they loved and wanted. When Silvio saw Paisley knew her mind and heart and they always pointed to him he was no holds barred with his love. They were always meant to be together. He her shield and her his light in the dark

"Italian Ice" is part of the "Lunchtime Chronicles" by S. London. Paisley has had a thing for her brother's friend, Silvio, for years. She has tried different things to try and get him to break his rule of doing anything with her because of his friendship. This was a nice and short read. I liked how Paisley didn't give up on what she wanted. There was some action in this book that had me on the edge of my seat with what was going to happen. I enjoyed the dual point of view.

Corso & Jessie has me drooling in anticipation for the Savagae Bloodline…..Now for the crème de la crème!! Dani - I loved everything about this sleeper character. Truly hope to see more of her in the future, until then….Tap-Tap Smooches!

Ms. London has a way with the written word. If you like extremely hot quickies, check out her Lunchtime Chronicles books. They’re like hot sauce, you’re going to sweat, it’s going to be H.O.T., but you’re going to want more!
Paisley has been crushing on Silvio since she was old enough to have a crush. It’s always been him for her, but their families won’t allow it. You see, Silvio’s family is Family. Their mafia.
Twenty years go by, and Silvio finally responds to one of Paisley’s many invitations to watch her perform at the club. A beautiful singer now, she tells stories through her words and movements. Silvio is now running things. After her performance, the pair attempt to leave when the unthinkable happens and Silvio and his guard must protect Paisley.
Once they’re at Silvio’s home, the pair can’t keep their hands off of each other. This is where things get really hot, and I mean H.A.W.T. Fanning yourself hot.
For such a short story Ms. London is able to pack a lot into it, and we don’t feel that it’s overwhelming. I really liked the story and can’t wait to see if Ms. London puts out more of this series.

In this love story, you are introduced to Silvio and Paisley in their early adulthood falling in love but have family and mob business keep them apart. Then jump 20 years to the lovers finally connecting when a threat finds Paisley and Silvi comes to her rescue. I enjoyed the tension between the two lovers and twist at the end revealing the threat they overcome. Good read!!

It was ok…
… but not as good as the other books in this particularly storyline within this series.
To be a short book it seemed long and draggy. The beginning was slow and even when the pace picked up a bit, it was boring. The lead male seems hot, mystery and intriguing but not fully developed in the storyline and the lead female seemed like a tart and came off annoying at times. Ive enjoyed other books from this author much more.

20 years in the making
Paisley fell in love with Silvio as a child, a childhood crush. a crush that she never got over. she loved Silvio because he was more of a brother figure than the one she gained through marriage. she loved him so much and for so long, and he distanced himself to keep her safe. which didn't work out because their feelings brought them back together again. and this time, it was for keeps.

Great book!
I really enjoyed this story and the characters were very entertaining and believable! Loved the chemistry between Paisley and Silvio it was very intense and smoking hot 🔥! Loved the drama and romance. Ian got just what he deserved. I highly recommend this book to my fellow romance readers you will not be disappointed. It was a quick read but it was worth it!

Okay
Meh! Based on the reviews, I was ready for Italian Ice. This book was going to be my escapism for the night. This book left me unfulfilled. I was expecting a little more. The story felt rushed and generic. The typos didn’t help either. What a disappointment, especially after reading ‘Mystery Meat’. 😔

Ummm....
I don't even know what I read. Maybe because I had to skip some pages because I was bored yet still confused why a woman that is almost 40 years old is still vying for this man's attention after twenty years. I am so done with these lunchtime series. These books are hardly ever good.

Excellent quick steamy read!
The DeLuca's and spin offs are quickly becoming my new obsession. Messy Mandy showing up always adds a bit of raunchy humor. You get a little bit of everything, laughter, intrigue, sexiness, and always an Alpha male and his goddess. Add long as Ms. London keeps writing them I'll keep reading them.

Silvio and Paisley
Paisley's step brother was a piece of shyt and apparently so was his father. All that animosity be held for Paisley and her mother should have been aimed towards his father and his misstress. Silvio being a man's man I would have thought he would have delt with the situation differently. Story just seems to miss something.💝💝
