𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐧 is the first book in the Irishmen Duet by Melanie Moreland, featuring a spicy and emotional boss/employee, second chance, romance for Finn and Una. Their chemistry was undeniable, but her fear of his job as the Head of the Syndicate was a major obstacle. Finn was an ultimate morally grey hero, ready and willing to burn down the world and anyone in it, if it meant protecting the woman he loves! I love that dark edge of action, the scorching “Touch Her and ☠️” vibes, the angsty tension, the drama, the plot twists, and the surprising emotional moments that had me in my feelings! Una was an amazing character in her own right, with a core of steel, even if she doesn’t realize it. She had such a loving, compassionate heart, even at her own expense. She so deserved someone on her side, willing to put her first, no matter what. I loved the family theme, the bond between Finn and Niall and others in their family, as well as some familiar faces that made me positively giddy! When indulging in the mafia-esque realm, I love the fact that even in the underworld, love can win! Niall was so compelling to watch that I cannot wait to get my hands on his story!

I dove in a second time via the audio, and was blown away by John Lane and Maxine Mitchell!! Their mastery of these amazing characters, their different accents, personalities, emotions and all the excitement of the plot made this one of my favorite narrations! Listening to John Lane argue and banter with himself as both Finn and Niall with unique Irish accents was priceless!!😆 I can’t tell you how excited I am that both of them will be back for 𝘕𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭!

I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
