ABOUT THE BOOK: February 15, 2022

What do you get when you ask a gorgeous doctor to be your daughter’s nanny?

You get told you’re a fool.

Luca Corsetti never failed at anything. This New York based Tech Tycoon made his first billion by the age of twenty-three and never looked back. Years later, he’s left with an alcoholic ex-wife and a teenager who hates him. A jaded man with no hope of true love, Luca’s only goal is to help his daughter, but then a sexy Italian walks into his life.

Dr. Bella Ricci had no reason to agree to Luca’s proposal. A teenage girl didn’t need a nanny, she needed a role model. But Luca was maddeningly irresistible, and Jenny was everything she dreamed a daughter could be. When they worked their way into Bella’s heart, it was hard to say no.

Now, when faced with an inevitable struggle, Bella has two choices: let the handsome man with a complicated past help her, or move forward on her own without the two people who have become her world.

Will Bella and Luca survive the fight to true love?

REVIEW: LUCA is the first instalment in Nikki Rome’s contemporary, adult CORSETTI EMPIRE erotic, romance series -a spin off from the author’s DARK KINGS series, and a cross over with the Heroes of Calvino Security series. This is midwife Dr. Bella Ricci, and Tech Tycoon/single father Luca Corsetti’s story line. LUCA can be read as a stand alone, you do not have to have read the other interconnected series.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Luca and Bella) LUCA follows the building romance and relationship between midwife Dr. Bella Ricci, and Tech Tycoon/single father Luca Corsetti. Luca is a single father to Jenny, a young teenage girl who is struggling with the upheaval in her life. Her mother is an alcoholic, and the subsequent divorce has upended Jenny’s world but meeting Bella Ricci while waiting for her father to finish his work gives Jenny pause for the future. Luca Corsetti is caught off-guard when his young brooding, troubled and oft-silent daughter is talking animatedly to a beautiful stranger. Desperate to connect and help his daughter, Luca makes Bella an offer she cannot refuse but Bella has a secret, and her time with Luca and Jenny may come to an end when Bella reveals she is going to need time for herself. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bella and Luca, and the potential fall out when Luca’s past come looking for a second chance.

The relationship between Luca and Bella is one of immediate attraction but Luca struggles to connect with his embittered daughter. Jenny is immediately smitten with the stranger who takes time out of her schedule to help Jenny adjust, smitten enough to set into motion a plan to help her father fall in love. Luca’s is quick to realize that Bella just might be his happily ever after but Bella finds herself reluctant to commit to anything beyond the present. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate with some scenes of light bondage-Luca calls himself a ‘pleasure dominant’

The secondary and supporting characters include Christy and Jason Calvano (Heroes of Calvino Security series); Luca’s brother Micah Corsetti; his daughter Jenny, and Jenny’s mother Susan. Micah’s story line is next.

LUCA is a story of family and friendships, desperation and acceptance, relationships and love. The premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and charismatic.

(The Corsetti Empire 2)
by Nikki Rome
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 30, 2022

It was time for a change, and that change needed to be her…

Micah Corsetti had been left to pick up the pieces after his father’s shady dealings nearly ran their investment company into the ground. Micah succeeded in the impossible, and ended up with more money than he could ever hope to spend. However, when the parties were over and the night died down, he had nothing ahead of him but a long life of sharing his bed with strangers.

Isabel Diaz lied her way into the best job she’d ever had. Little did she know, at Corsetti Financial she would be working for one of the least respected men in Miami. Micah’s older clientele had no regard for his ‘new money’ and playboy lifestyle. Isabel brought stability, heart, and perseverance to the table, all things Micah both respected and wanted to exploit.

Now, faced with the biggest deal the company has ever seen, the two of them must make a decision: Fake it until they make it, or fake it forever. The problem is that neither of them were faking a thing.

Only time will tell if these two can survive when they have to choose what’s most important… Business? Or love?

•••••••

REVIEW: MICAH is the second instalment in Nikki Rome’s contemporary, adult THE CORSETTI EMPIRE erotic, romance series, a spin off from the author’s DARK KINGS series. This is the head of the Corsetti Financial division Micah Corsetti, and account representative Isabel Diaz’s story line. MICAH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line and Dark Kings series is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Micah and Isabel) MICAH follows the building romance and ‘fake’ relationship between the head of the Corsetti Financial division Micah Corsetti, and account representative Isabel Diaz. Isabel Diaz has worked for and with Micah Corsetti for close to seven years, and their successful business relationship is about take a personal turn when a million dollar client gets the wrong idea about our story line couple, and Micah and Isabel must play out in an effort to keep the client’s business. Having to lie to her mother makes the unreality of the situation real Isabel never expected to fall for the man who could break her heart. Isabel has a secret past, a past that if exposed could destroy not only her career but the business Micah has made, a business that was once connected to organized crime (Dark Kings Series). As Micah and Isabel’s relationship slowly turns into something more, the paparazzi come calling, forcing Isabel to reveal her darkened past to the man with whom she is falling in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Micah and Isabel, and the potential fall-out when Isabel’s past threatens to destroy everything Micah has built, forcing Isabel to run with a broken heart.

The relationship between Micah and Isabel begins as a fake fiancée/relationship in order to appease the clients, the gossip and the tabloid paparazzi. Isabel knows that their time together will eventually come to an end but both are hoping that to get involved doesn’t mean to destroy their friendship in the process. The $ex scenes are intimate, aggressive and erotic but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story line.

We are reintroduced to Micah’s brother Luca, and his daughter Jenny; Isabel’s mother Mrs. Diaz, as well as the introduction of our next story line heroine.

MICAH is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is entertaining and spicy; the romance is provocative and edgy; the characters determined and energetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 15, 2022

Money is the root of all evil…
Or is it?

Oscar Ashford grew up living a life of luxury. Sure, it had its appeal, but being raised by strangers and living in a home where he was seen and not heard left a lasting impression. Years later, this trust fund baby still worked hard to shake the term, always proving himself a better man than the day before. Now, he runs a nonprofit, working every day to better the community around him. He thought he had it all—everything he would ever need—until he found the one woman who made him realize he wanted more.

Sofia Corsetti’s life had been turned upside down. Suddenly, she was part of a family she had never heard of, and heiress to a fortune that was going to ruin her future. Dateless for her first event with her new family, she turned to the one thing she swore she’d never do; she let her best friend set her up with a matchmaking service. Little did she know, the striking man who showed up at her door had more secrets than she could imagine.

Will Oscar and Sofia face the obstacles of new love together, or will betrayal tear them apart?

•••••••

REVIEW: SOFIA is the third instalment in Nikki Rome’s contemporary, adult THE CORSETTI EMPIRE erotic, romance series-a spin off from the author’s DARK KINGS series. This is Sofia Corsetti, and Oscar Ashford’s story line. SOFIA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Sofia’s story line begins in book two MICAH.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including same-sex FF scenarios, domination, discipline, voyeurism and BDSM.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Oscar and Sofia) SOFIA follows the discovery of, and introduction of Sofia Edwards, soon to be known as Sofia Corsetti. Sofia is the illegitimate daughter of the late Corsetti patriarch, a man with connections to the criminal underworld. Upon old man Corsetti’s death, Dante Corsetti discovered his uncle fathered another child, a half sister to Luca and Micah Corsetti. Needing a date for her half brother’s wedding, with the help of her friend, Sofia enrolls on a matchmaking, dating site where she will be matched with our story line hero. Enter Oscar ‘Ozzie’ Ashford, the heir to Ashford Industries and Hotels, but a man who keeps secret his family connections. As Ozzie and Sofia’s relationship begins to build, Ozzie’s true identity will be revealed, breaking Sofia’s heart in the process. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sofia and Ozzie, and the potential fall-out as lies of omission threaten the growing love between our story line couple.

The relationship between Ozzie and Sofia is one of immediate attraction. Ozzie has told Sofia he runs a youth center for at risk children but has struggled to tell Sofia the truth about his family and the family money. Secrets would tear our couple apart, forgiveness and understanding will bring them together but Ozzie has a kinky side, one Sofia is about to discover, when he introduces our heroine to The Citadel $ex Club. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense; there are some same $ex scenarios between Sofia and the club Dominatrix, as well as voyeurism, and discipline.

The secondary and supporting characters include Luca, Bella and Luca’s daughter Jenny; Micah and Bella, as well as their cousin Dante Corsetti.

SOFIA is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and love. The premise is engaging and interesting; the characters are energetic; the romance is seductive and provocative but herein lies the problem-up until Ozzie takes Sofia to the $ex club there is no mention, no inclination and no hint about what was to come-which in turn felt out of place to the overall story line. Sofia accepts everything, doesn’t question what Ozzie is offering including breath play, voyeurism, BDSM, Dominatrix etc.
