Mafia King

Young Irish Rebels, Book 2

By: Vi Carter

Narrated by: Curt Bonnem, Allyson Voller

Emma

I was a willing sacrifice in an arranged marriage.

Until my father made a new deal and gave me to another.

Now I must marry a savage.

A Northerner—the very thing I had been taught to hate.

I vow to never be his. I will never belong to Shay O’Reagan.

I will defy him every step of the way.

He may lay claim to my body, but he will never own my heart.

Shay

In order to secure my place in the Irish Mafia, I agree to an arranged marriage.

A marriage with a willing bride, one groomed to be the wife of a mafia king.

What I get is a redheaded beauty hell-bent on my destruction.

Turns out, she was meant to be the perfect mafia wife—just not mine.

That treacherous detail doesn’t stop me from wanting her.

From needing to taste her ruby red lips.

The fire that blazes in her defiant eyes lights a desire inside of me that demands I claim her as my own.

While she wastes my time defying me with every breath, the North rises up demanding retribution for a crime that was buried a long time ago.

The clock is ticking as I battle a war around me and within my own walls. Every minute takes us both closer to certain death.

I’m unsure of who my true allies are and where my enemies are hiding. There’s only one thing I’m certain of.

I will never give up.

I will fight to the end, no matter the cost.

I am a King and I will die on my feet.

Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This fascinating, action-paced mafia arranged marriage romance is an outstanding addition to the “Young Irish Rebels” series.  It definitely caught and held  my attention within the first few pages and kept it until the end. I would highly recommend it and suggest you read book 1 first to help you have a better understanding.

Book 2 in Young Irish Rebels - can be standalone

This is book 2 in Carter's Young Irish Rebels series and while we got a small taste of Shay in book one this is his and Emma's story. While it can be read / listened as a stand alone I would recommend doing this in series order as characters cross over and you'll get a better feel and history on them. Well written and perfect dual narration - I can not rave enough about these narrators! Dual narration is always a plus but these two are absolute perfection, especially with these irish accents - oh my gracious! Anyway - a great storyline. Reader and listener should be warned this is not a sweet mafia good guy romance - this is dark and mafia murder, twists and turns kinda read but even with that there is a humanity that is relatable and lovable. I really did love this read / listen and can't wait to hear more not only from these narrators but also from these young and thirsty for power, respect and love irish mafia rebels.

I received a free copy of this book at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Entertaining!

This is the second book in the Young Irish Rebels series, a Dark Irish Mafia. Emma and Shay's story is entertaining, fast-paced, and filled with danger, and many twists and turns. Emma is such a fantastic character. She is naive, but so strong, smart, and brave. Shay is handsome, revengeful, determined, and caring. They are perfect together. Curt Bonnem and Allyson Voller did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Mafia Games, the next book in the series. #TheFlock

Mafia King

This is the second book in the Young Irish Rebels series. We got glimpses of Shay in the first book. I love how we got to see his what makes him tick. Shay is determined to find his brother’s killer. Emma is a young 18 year old girl that has been waiting for marriage day. Until she finds out she will be marrying Shay O’Reagan a Northern Irish Mafia king instead of Jack O’Reagan. Curt Bonnem and Allyson Voller did a great job narrating this book.
