My dirty book lovers... we aren’t her target audience By Melissa K I bought this extremely overpriced ebook because the reality show Mob Wives is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watch maybe a handful of shows because I’m a reader as you can see from my blog. Last season on the show Renee, out of nowhere, said she was writing a dirty book… I use the terms writing and dirty loosely here, but I’ll get to that in a bit.Generally I don’t talk about authors personally when I do a review because: A I don’t generally know them and B my review is about the book, not the author. While reading this story though I had a hard time disconnecting the two because I felt somewhat like I know the author because of her reality show. I don’t think I have a disdain for Renee from watching her on TV. I think she’s crazy, needs medication, and the show would probably be crap without her so I like her on it. But some of it just seemed to blur together for me.Our heroine, Reign Grazi, has grown up in the mob world and seems to know everything about everything. She is so freaking observant and catches every little thing that I’m convinced she works for the CIA as a super spy or something. Anyways, one night while attending a party she meets Nick Fattelli. He’s handsome, charming, and seems to be a little bit mysterious. After having a very brief conversation they are out the door and headed back to Reign’s place for some sexy times. Upon arriving at her place someone tries to take her life, but Nick saves that day! Apparently he is an assassin by night… don don don BUT an investment banker by day.This is literally the story. Someone wants to kill Reign and Nick wants to stop them and find out who wants her dead. While that is happening the author tried to bore me to death. Seems the mob is stepping up their skills because I would have flipped on anyone to have been done with this book. I was so sad when the first assassin failed at killing Reign and the story wasn't over. I found myself actually cheering for the villain to kill her already. Why you ask? Because this book was one ginormous ego stroke.I couldn’t stop my brain from comparing the author, Renee, to the heroine, Reign, because there were just too many similarities. Take for example their very similar names, both having a son that is their world, both having an ex-husband that betrayed them, and both creating a clothing line. I think Reign was a depiction of who and what Renee really wants to be because Reign is classier, smarter, and a lot wiser. Having all of these characteristics in a heroine is good, but they are beat into us repetitiously in this book. The author wants to make sure we know how awesome Renee is and how much she knows about living in the higher circles of life because she goes into great detail to make sure we know. Hmmm. Must be because I give two s***s about what everything looks like or what they are wearing or eating or drinking… Nope, I sure the flip don’t. Focus. Tell the story here. Make me connect with the characters on an emotional level. Oh that’s right, the story could have been told in about 30 pages, but the author choose to weigh it down with details that didn’t matter or add to the characters.One thing we do learn is that Reign has trust issue because her ex-husband betrayed her, but I never got her pain for it. She was just all “I don’t trust easy…. I can’t love again” and I felt nothing for her or Nick. There was absolutely no emotion to them nor did I feel a connection between them. Then, I s*** you not, the author let me know the butter smelled like it had a hint of garlic, but pretty much skipped the first actual sex scene. But to be honest, it doesn’t really matter because the sex was vanilla as vanilla can be. This is by no means an erotica story at all. Nick was the worst lover ever. He seemed to be able to get it up often enough, but he sure wanted to make sure he got off. His whole "you come, I come" motto made me want to punch him in the face. Listen Nick, this is a romance for women. You eat that vagina until you have lock jaw and while doing this you think about how much you love doing it. I feel sorry for the author if she drew from her own sexual experiences with men because she has had some terrible selfish lovers then.Maybe she was trying to make the romance seem real, but that really messes with the whole "this is fictional romance." Where are the passion and fire? Why haven’t you connected me to any of it? There was no alpha male or uncontrollable need to have each other. Generally, in suspense the passion is as high as the suspense, so in this case she nailed it because there was no real suspense or "oh s*** moments" so I guess that works...??The one and only thing I liked about this book was a side character, Sal. Sal was awesome and Reign totally shot him down for “family issues.” Whatever. It sucks when you love a side character and your heroine is all like "No, we can’t be together. I’ll go be with Mr. No Passion over here." Yeah, that is pretty much how that went. It drove me crazy that Sal pined away for Reign when he could do so much better. But nope, the author wanted you to know everyone wants her because she is hot s*** (for what reason I don’t know!) *cries* Poor sweet Sal.This ebook cost over $10 and comes in at 300 pages. I know. Who the flip does Renne Grazinao think she is? If her true intentions were to break into our market (yes I’m talking to my fellow dirty book readers) than she came in with a slap to the face. She is NOT Joey Hill, Maya Banks, or Julie Garwood so I have no clue why she thinks it's ok to drop that price on us and ever more so when the book was crap. No joke. It was boring as f***. So I’m guessing we aren’t her target audience and she is going for fans of her show and trying to jump into a market that is doing well right now. But maybe she had no choice to charge that to break even because she has a pretty good editor and I have no clue how much a ghost writer cost. If I have learned anything from this experience it’s don’t read fiction written by reality stars.

Good read By The Romance Reviews Reviewed by Deltafor TheRomanceReviews.comPLAYING WITH FIRE is the debut novel by VH1's Mob Wives star Renee Graziano and gives the reader an inside look at what it's like to be a mob princess with a price on her head.Fashion designer Reign Grazi knows dangerous men; she's been around them her entire life. And when she meets elegant yet understated Nick Fattelli, she spots his edge of danger immediately, and she isn't interested in resisting him. Nick definitely wants to get close to Reign, but not just because he wants her in bed. He has no clue who hired him to kill her, but she doesn't seem like the kind of woman someone wants dead, even if she is part of an organized crime family.Nick wants to know who wants Reign dead and why. He also wants to know why he's so intrigued by this particular woman. Reign knows she should go for someone safe, someone like her former lover Sal who adores her. But she can't quite stay away from her bad boy hit man Nicky. As she and Nick get to know one another, they both find themselves falling harder for each other, even though they know they're not good for one another. Can Nick keep Reign alive long enough to figure out who wants her dead?PLAYING WITH FIRE is the debut novel by Renee Graziano, star of the VH1 reality show Mob Wives. I will admit that I had a really difficult time putting aside my opinion of Ms. Graziano’s TV character and reviewing this book solely on its merit. PLAYING WITH FIRE almost looked semi-autobiographical, with the similar names and cast of characters in both the book and her real life, further blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Regardless, there were things about this story that I liked and things that were cringe-worthy for me. The sometimes cheesy (“He represented danger, and she had the golden ticket for that ride.”) and sometimes sleazy writing just had me rolling my eyes. Additionally, there were random sentences thrown in that gave me whiplash on occasion, trying to figure out what direction Ms. Graziano was going to go.That said, I did like the suspense of wondering who wanted Reign dead and why. The information unfolds slowly yet methodically, keeping the suspense up throughout the story. Ms. Graziano hit her stride midway through this book and I wound up somewhat enjoying the story as it unfolded. While I didn’t really enjoy Reign’s snotty attitude or lack of enthusiasm and thought she went about her day mainlining Prozac, Nick was better written and had a decent amount of depth to him. Their chemistry in the bedroom was lukewarm, but as a crime-fighting duo, they have potential.Overall, PLAYING WITH FIRE wasn’t a horrible read for me, and I think that with a little more developmental bitch slaps and a little less on-page arrogance, Ms. Graziano could have a decent future ahead of her as an author.
