Mine to Protect by Emily A. Myers
4.0
Alister Amato is the young, handsome, and dangerous Italian mafia boss of New Orleans - the Blood King. Ariana Valentine is an FBI agent on the Organized Crime Task Force. While investigating a bloodbath crime scene executed by Alister, she discovers a similarity between these murders and that of her mother eighteen years earlier. Ariana's quest for answers leads her deep into the crime syndicate of New Orleans. Although from different backgrounds, Ariana and Alister soon realize that have a lot more in common than they thought.
I cheated and started this book a little early and I could not put it down - Alister is totally swoon worthy! This was a super slow burn (which I absolutely love) with a tiny little steamy scene. There was also a nice bit of action and intersting twists throughout. Unlike many similar stories, the author did a great job of showing the vulnerabilities and growth in both characters. I really enjoyed the alternating viewpoints - really reinforced the contrasting characters backgrounds and their thought processes throughout the story.
