SOLVED. Guy is mob, girl is a baker. [s]

[Buffy]

I remember about this the main guy is part of the mob. His cousins are his body guards. The main girl owns and runs a bakery. He comes into the bakery just to watch her. His cousins are always teasing him about the girl. Later in the book they use her bakery for a mob meeting. Another person that is in the book is a plain clothes police detective who comes into the bakery also.

Buffy, when did you read it?
Author female or male?
Ebook?
Standalone or series?
Remember the cover?
Where is it set?

Also: please put some plot details in your header since hundreds if not thousands of threads are also looking for contemp. romance.

Your thread needs to stand out.

What does "up to date" mean?

[Buffy]

I read this sometime 2015/2017. Female author. Ebook! Don't remember if it's a series. Don't remember cover. It is set in the United States present day or up to date!

A guess - Exploding: A Mafia Romance by Tuesday Embers?

Buffy, does the hero belong to an Italian/Russian/etc. mob/mafia family?

Is it set in a large U.S. city like New York or a small city/town?

What's the tone - romantic, angsty, steamy/clean, funny, thriller, etc.?

[Buffy]

@Kris It's not Exploding a mafia romance. It takes place in a major city. I want to say NY. It is the mob. I want to say Italian but really can't remember. It's romantic with a little funny.

[Buffy]

Yes it was a book. What is a wattpad? Never heard of that.

[Buffy]

I could of read it on my kindle.

[Buffy]

It's not my mafia man. She never knew him until he came into her bakery. The romance between them builds slowly. He dresses very nicely. I don't remember the word mafia or mob in the title as I don't usually read those type of romances.

[Buffy]

Thanks I'll definitely look this up. Yeah this was a really good story and it's driving me crazy trying to remember it. Also it's not an old book, probably read within the last couple of years. 2016/2017.

[Katheryn]

From what you've said this book sounds interesting and now I want to read it too :)

[Buffy]

@Katheryn It was really good.

[Juels]

Dirty Whispers by Paula Cox?

[Buffy]

No it's not Dirty Whispers.

[Buffy]

Ok. I don't what I'm suppose to do when I find the book with he is with the mob and she is a baker. The book is Leopard's Fury by Christine Feehan. I had no idea that it was a shifter book. I was looking at library books for kindle and look to see what it was about,read a sample and this sounds like majority of the book. It came out in 2016. THANKS EVERYONE for the help!

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Leopard's Fury for the book that Buffy names as her forgotten book.

Congrats on finding it Buffy. Isn't serendipity grand?

edit: When I went to shelve your book Buffy, I found out that you weren't the first person to look for this book. The thread title for the first person was: Romance Novel Fantasy>
