Interview by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Emily Hoff.
After five mob-tastic seasons, the VH1 reality TV show Mob Wives will be coming to an end. The series sixth and final season premiered last week on Wednesday, January 13th. In our exclusive celebrity interview, we got the latest scoop on the drama from Renee Graziano, one of the original cast members. She reveals why she didn’t want to film the show and opens up about her friendship with Natalie Guercio and her relationship and love life!
2 Last Wednesday, Apr. 9, CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco met up with Mob Wives reality TV star Renee Graziano at Barnes and Noble in Tribeca to discuss her new book Playing with Fire. Describing the novel as “loosely based” on her own life, she explains in our celebrity video interview that she has stacks of notebooks about Reign Grazi, the character who she’s developed since she was young.

Mob Wives: New Blood reality star and original cast member Renee Graziano released her new sexy thriller, Playing With Fire, on April 8th. The story takes the reader on an adventure filled with strong moments of passion with a look into life with the mob. Reign Grazi, the main character, lives a life much like that of her creator.
The title of the book Playing With Fire is more than just a familiar phrase. In this case, the book is loosely based around the life and experiences of Graziano over the years. This includes her fair amount of run-ins with dangerous men, much like the book’s Nick Fattelli, during the heyday of the mob reign.
