Brutal Defender: The O'Malley Family by Maggie Cole, Maggie Cole

5.0

Brutal Defender is book 3 in the O'Malley series and Killian's turn to tell his story. A debt he takes on to help his brother,becomes an arranged marriage to the mob princess Arianna. Something what both of them didn't want,but needed to do for one word...family. We have seen Killian bury himself into our hearts from the very beginning of the Mafia Wars series,and the love for him has just gone from strength to strength. We see a different side to him in this book though,yes he is as volatile,and as protective as his brothers and cousins,but he also has somewhat of a comedic side to him,which is refreshing. The buildup of Killian's and Arianna's relationship is back and forth but is so hot and loving at the same time...i absolutely loved it!
