-Finnegan O'SheaThe Sons of Munster have been living this life for generations. We have our own protocol, our own traditions, dating back to when two families merged and created our syndicate in Ireland. Now, we have our strongholds in Philly and Chicago, and the wrong man holds the highest position. The day my uncle decided to betray us, he signed his own death warrant, and after a five-year hitch in the can, I'm ready to take everything from him. In order to ensure the demise of his management, I have to get close to him. I need to earn his trust and that of his closest associates. I'll be the top earner he wants me to be. I'll be the very image of a conventional family man.For that to happen, this Irish bastard has to find himself a wife. Someone sweet and compliant who will stand by my side and make me look like I have too much to lose to screw over the head of the family.-Emilia PorterWhen it rains, it pours, so I guess it's been pouring for eighteen years now. Being from an old mining town that's full of drunk cautionary tales, I spend my days juggling-and failing-school, work, and paying the bills so my dad can drink himself into a stupor. Then this freaking guy rolls into town in his expensive sports car and thinks I should marry him. This isn't the fifties, and there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'll marry a well-known mobster. No matter how much money he promises me. No matter how intensely the chemistry sizzles between us.He asks for three years of marriage. Then I'd be set for life, independent, and free to start fresh on my own. Free to walk away. Who the hell does he think he is?… (mere)

I actually enjoyed most of the book but ended up skimming through some boring/too long chapters. I really like a lot of dialogue which this had. I did get a bit tired of Emilia's judgmental attitude when Finn saved her from her crap life. She did redeem herself by the end of the book. She was tough which I enjoyed too. Finn was a really great guy! As others have said, I do wish the next was out. I doubt I'll read it....probably won't remember having read this one or know it's out anyway. ( )

This isn't your normal Cara Dee story. MM full of heart and hope. Grabs you right in the feels.
Nope it's a MF crime story, with fake relationship, two people who are going to f*ck each other over at first chances, annnnnddd they are both virgins.

Yeah, Yeah, count me in on this one.

Explaining what I loved about this story is like explaining to people why you are watching reality TV in earnest. It's a big train wreck. Over the top characters. You laugh at completely inappropriate times. And yet you want more. Seriously this is Finn and Emilia's story. Finn is not the perfect mobster with a heart of gold type. Oh no. He is a murderer and a thief. He couldn't care less about doing the right thing. It's doing the thing that will earn him money, loyalty and power. I think that's why I fell in love with this character so far. Because he was so unapologetically an asshole. Then there is Emilia. She wants out. Out of her life, get a leg up. She knows 'trying hard' and you'll get the brass ring isn't going to work out for this girl. So damn straight she takes up Finn's offer.

But when they are together - as much as they loathe the other - there is undeniable chemistry between them. You literally root for these two knuckheads to fall in love because they deserve it. This story has all the humor, sexy times and flying bullets you could imagine from a crime/mafia romance story.

Cara has promised a series. And like any Cara book it's worth the wait. I ended the book immediately wanting II. I know when it comes, I'll be devouring these two all over again. ( )
