Description
Keir
The governor’s daughter has gotten herself into a mess.
If I protect her, her father will owe me, bigtime.
But the best way to keep her safe is to marry her.
Claim her as one of our own.
The catch? She’s got a boyfriend she’s not ready to part with.
Good thing an unwilling bride isn’t an issue for a guy like me.
Rowan
How is it that years of toeing the line could unravel so damn quickly?
I’ve done my best to make my parents happy in every way.
But when a six-foot tatted Irish gangster showed up at our house, my entire life began to crumble.
Now, I’ve woken with a ring tattooed on my finger, and I’m starting to worry there’s no going back.

This was an absolute enjoyable book! It has heartache, love that starts off untraditional, and family issues. You will absolutely love how Rowan meets Keir and how their relationship develops as the story progresses! It was an absolute delight! I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have waited for what feels like a life time for this book! I am finding that this series is a serious obsession for me! Keir and Rowan’s story was much more than I anticipated!
Rowan is a straight kick butt heroine! I have to start this off with talking about my girl crush for her because she does toe to toe with the devil and doesn’t bat an eye! Her strength my goodness is just beautiful! Even at her weakest point she is amazing because she fights! Keir though, surprises me at every turn while also being the strong, broody alpha that he is! The way he held Rowan up and didn’t give up…..total swoon!
The twists in this story are what got me chocked up and surprised me! Jill definitely packed an emotional punch while keeping on edge with action and thrills! A definite must read!
This may appear to be a case of mismatched people, or an advantage taken by one, but I assure it isn’t. Oh, no. I mean, fine. Yeah. An advantage is taken. But not the way you’d think. Keir and Rowan have an intriguing first encounter, a completely unsettling second (for both of them), and then the third? Yeah, that one seals the deal. She’s his. And he’s not letting her go.
This is a bit gritty, a bit tinged by deep shadows, and a LOT excellent. While Keir and Rowan get to know what makes each other tick, they also have to figure out how to deal with a few dilemmas. And none of them are of the safe variety. All roads lead to danger, but it’s a question of how to deal with it and who will do the saving. Or maybe they both will. Regardless, I didn’t want to put this down because I just had to know who’s behind which betrayal and why. I also had to know how Keir and Rowan would fare, even if it was obvious that they’re perfectly matched. And I wasn’t disappointed one bit.
But now I have to wait for Tor and Stormy. I’m pretty sure there are some big secrets to be uncovered there.
4.5 stars.
I liked this one even more than the first. Once I started, this was an easy book to get into. I was instantly pulled into it from chapter one when Rowan and Keir met under the most interesting circumstances. I began appreciating Rowan’s character and her determination to get to the bottom of the truth after discovering something in her boyfriend’s house that she shouldn’t have. When informing her father of it, who didn’t want to believe her, she searched out Keir to get his help on this.
The chemistry between the characters is instant. I realllllly liked Keir’s character, even more than Connor from book 1. His drive for his own truths is great. His easy relationship/friendship/protectiveness that blooms from just being around Rowan.
Easy book to get into and I look forward to book 3. The only reason this isn’t a full 5 stars is because while the characters’ chemistry was nearly instant, I felt it actually faded away over the course of the book, particularly toward the end. Almost like the book needed to be longer and more paced.
Obsessed with this series!
Keir and Rowan’s story completely blew my mind. The emotional punch it dealt with me was unexpected.
Both of them came across as mysterious and I loved that as the story started unfolding, their characters did too.
Connected from the initial meeting itself, Big bad wolf Keir was a goner. I enjoyed that he was all like cold and ‘I don’t care for anyone other than my family’ but the moment Rowan was in danger, comes running. Meanwhile Rowan was so damn brave and feisty. They had scorching hot chemistry and were so hot together.
I also loved how they talked out their problems and pains with each other.
Enjoyed the suspense too. There were so many heart rate increasing moments. The ending was so cute.
I highly recommend this series.
P.s heroine was in a ‘mild’ relationship when they meet and kiss initially but it didn’t bother me.
—he is soft only for her.
—found fam, forced proximity, mafia romance.

After choosing the first book in this series by chance from Netgally, I couldn’t resist reading the next.
Wow it’s even better if that’s at all possible, I think I’ve found a new favourite author.
The writing is wonderful, so full of emotion and chemistry that it makes the characters feel like they’re real, I missed them when I finished.
Excellent storyline to, tense, violence and abuse to, so take warning of the triggers.
But in all it was very good and very well done throughout.
Highly recommend series!
