Mafia Wars

Mafia Wars is the prequel to the Young Irish Rebels series. It's a shorter, slow-burn, opposites-attract, age gap, forced-proximity, dark Irish mafia romance. Cian is the hunky and ruthless son of one of the mafia leaders. Luna is a strong but sweet girl in an abusive relationship. She was a nurse until her boyfriend, Mark, put a stop to it. Now, she takes a job as a maid in Cian's house. The two are drawn to each other, but when he sees bruises on her, he is upset. When they are out, he kills Mark, starting a turf war. But he will do anything to protect his woman. We didn't have any true intimacy until the epilogue, but their chemistry and sexual tension were intense. Our couple does end on a happy note after a lot of danger and drama, but I really hope we get more of this couple in the future. I loved how Cian just wanted to love and protect her. She had never had that before. Now, on to the rest of the series!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Great story. Suspense, danger and emotion. Abused by her boyfriend, Luna goes to work for Mafia man Cian who discovers her secret. Can is both protective, and possessive over Luna. Toying with her initially when she first comes to work for him but the attraction and connection is there from the start. Not steamy, but a love that's ignited by trauma. Very well done. I'll look forward to more in the series. It was a great first book and a simple but interesting plot to explore. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
