Aurora

It started with a stolen kiss. A brief flirtation between two strangers. Until reality intruded. He was a part of the Irish mob, and my father had other plans for me.

In the three years since, I’ve lived in a hell of secrets and lies, leaving me a broken, shattered version of my former self. Then, I come face to face with Jack again. The man who will either become my savior or my destruction.

Jack

My Irish family has spent years rescuing women trafficked by the Polish mafia. I’ve been a protector. A defender. Saved countless women.

A twist of fate puts a woman from my past directly in my path. When I discover she’s in danger, I’ll destroy anyone in order to save her, too.

Series keeps getting better!

I really enjoy this series! Each book moves the story along and just gets better and better. I loved this one as much as I loved the first book. The characters you met in the previous books are in this one, and I do recommend reading in order to get the full story. The relationship that develops between this couple is extremely sweet. This girl goes through some very traumatic experiences. (Note: no major attacks are written in detail; more spoken about in conversation after the fact.) I do hope the remaining books are eventually put on audiobook, As I have said with all the previous books, the narrators were great and pleasant to listen to. However, I do think the books would have been even better if accents were used. The main characters are Italian, Irish, or from Brooklyn and there are even some Russians involved in the stories- all of which would likely have strong accents and could add to the book if accents were used.

I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAudio

Quick and addictive

This was a fun, dark read which gripped me from the start with infuriating tones and well-developed leads. Converted me into an instant Shaw fan—I can’t wait to read more in this world and all their others.

It definitely brightened my day, as I’m sick and was searching for motivation to get up and get to work—thanks for getting me going!

It manages to pack some fun tropes:

💚 Forced proximity.
🖤 Forced marriage.
💚 Abus!ve spouse.
🖤 Suspense.
💚 Bodyguard romance.
🖤 Pseudo-captivity.
💚 Second-chance romance.


Overall: 4 stars.

Such A Great Book

This is the story of Aurora and Jack. His family is a group that has spent generations rescuing women who have been kidnapped by the Polish Mafia. He is a protector to his very core and I really loved that about him. He defends and the women they have rescued are countless. But years ago he had a flirtation and a stolen kiss with Aurora and she did not realize he was part of the Irish Mob. That kiss meant something to him and he has never been able to forget it. You can imagine his shock when after three years he sees her again and she isn't alone. She is married to a man and he is old enough to be her grandfather. Aurora has never forgotten Jack either and has lived a life that is the stuff nightmares are made of. She has never told anyone ever what she has endured at the hands of this monster. But one day she can't take it anymore and has to tell someone. Jack however finds her in desperate need to protecting and he is going to do it if it is the last thing he ever does. Can he get the job done and save her or is she destined to live the nightmare until she takes her last breath? You have to listen to find out. I loved this book. It kept me one the edge of my seat a lot of the time and the characters are just amazing.

Captivating!

This is the fourth book in the Brooklyn Kings Series, a Mafia Romance. Aurora and Jack's story is emotional, and entertaining, filled with danger, and twists and turns. Aurora is such a beautiful and strong character. Her story is heartbreaking. Jack is handsome, protective, and supportive. The storyline is captivating. This is an excellent slow burn romance. Curt Bonnem and June deBorahae did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. This is a great team author/narrators. I highly recommend this series. #PFPAudio

A perfect mix...

A perfect mix of heartbreaking, hope giving, resilence, instant chemistry yet slow burn... Jack and Aurora "Rory" have this amazing love story set within a mafia world they were both born into, full of arranged marriages and inherited obligations. But luckily for them fate had better plans even if the road there had to be filled with overwhelming trauma, blood, and desperation. Jack was such an amazing man for her with his patience in knowing what she needed, and dedication in giving her back control of her life even if it meant he needed to take a backseat. And she grew so much, overcoming her past traumas and blooming into the woman she should've had the chance to be all along. Love that Jack's family dedicate themselves to rescuing trafficked women and destroying those vile men that believe in this horrific industry. Narration to bring it to life.
