Overall, this book was good, but I can't stand when authors write about regions they clearly know nothing about. The FMC in this book turned to food for comfort and was an Irish American from Chicago. Why on earth would a Chicago woman be whipping up fried chicken as her comfort meal? This author isn't from the US so wouldn't automatically know, but different regions of the US have different comfort foods. Southern comfort food is just that, southern. More over, the character internally worried that the CHICKEN would be dry when she made chicken fried steak. CFS is steak (beef), not chicken. Those little details drew me out of the book and made me a little insane lol.  

This is a spin off St. Monarch series, with their sons, and an addition of the Greek and Turkish mafia.
They came together and form an alliance - the priesthood. And this is their story!

Liam Byrne is the head of the Irish mafia.
Kiara Murphy is the daughter of an Irish mobster, that has been kept secret. She grew up thinking her father is just a selesman, after all the mafia is no place for a kid.
But life has a funny way to play with you. And Kiara ends up in the belly of the beast, she ends up being a receptionist on Liam’s company.
Liam hates to be touched, but his stepbrother Finn likes touching a little to much.
So when things escalate, and Kiara ends up in his arms, can kiara’s touch really repulse him? Or heal him?

This book pull my heartstrings so much! My god what Kiara went through….just broke my heart.
I loved this two.
At this point there isn’t a single Michelle book I don’t love

I enjoyed it more than the first book.
I did enjoy the characters and I liked the Irish mafia elements.
What I didn't like? The pacing. Even the characters said it - it was incredibly rushed.

The premise was a bit unbelievable and the FMC was a bit weak for my taste. The MMC was obsessed which I liked. Overall, it was not bad. 

Liam is cute pero ptm que tienen los mafiosos por el TELL ME YOUR MINE

I loved Liam. Like that man can do whatever the hell he want and I’d still be salivating over him. In my head he’s perfect. He owns the world and would burn it for the people he loves.

Kiara was just the perfect women. She loved her dad understood where he was coming from and was such a great person overall. This book was kinda instant attraction, Liam just falls in love and is like hell with it, ima make her my girl. And honestly o love those kind of romance. They had chemistry and Liam literally was a normal person to me. Like he’s the head of mafia but you wouldn’t guess that cause of the way he loved and protected Kiara. The amount of times I’ve melted and gone Awww over Liam just being so in love with Kiara is uncountable. He just melted my heart everytime. I loved Declan and how he was such a grumpy softie. And the epilogue was so wholesome.

This is a fast paced dark(ish) romance. It has workplace romance and insta-love, and some elements of mafia/crime syndicate. Most of the book takes place in a work setting and there isn't too much said/delved into regarding the crime syndicate side of things. Still this was cute and fun, and a very quick read for me. I pretty much read it in one sitting. 

If you want a fairly quick, semi lighter dark romance this would be a good pick for you.
