Brutal Defender
The O'Malley Family (Mafia Wars, Book 8)
By: Maggie Cole
Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Lance Greenfield
Stellar! That is what this book is. I absolutely loved Killian and Arianna. Killian has a decision to make. Marry Arianna as Tully is telling him to do or there will be dire consequences. It’s the least he can do too pay his debt to Tully. Arianna is now told she has a choice as well. Marry Killian or the mafia king in Italy. There is no contest. Except she doesn’t want either. This spunky, independent minded woman is the perfect fit for Killian, though neither knows it yet. Constantly at each other’s throats with incredible passion and chemistry, they are slowly finding their rhythm. But with mafia life comes danger, and it has one O’Malley in mind. Arianna may love her new family, but she still has that wild streak and doesn’t always take the necessary precautions. Will Killian get to her time? Maggie Cole does it again, keeping the suspense high and the story spicy! Killian shows no remorse for his decisions. I think my favorite scene is his confession and penance. Arianna appears a little bratty, but her journey to find her dream is beautiful. And seeing all our favorites with their families and even the visit to the garage has become all part of the fun of listening to these books. I love the continuity between the books, the love between the characters and the peek at the next installment.
Narration made this book even better. Kelsey Navarro and Lance Greenfield bring it! I am a huge fan of both, and their interpretation and use of nuances create the perfect characters. Loved their telling of this story and their fabulous collaboration.
