Publisher's summary

Jacob

My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven-year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.

I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.

Brenna

My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again, I’m bound by duty.

I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me.

He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?

Short but Steamy

I didn’t realize how short this book was until the end, but it was great. The narration was fantastic and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Captivating!

This is the first book in the Brooklyn Kings Series. Jacob and Brenna's story is well written, and captivating. Jacob, son of the head of the Italian syndicate, is enigmatic, ruthless, and protective. Brenna, granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader, is beautiful, strong, smart, and brave. They are both interesting characters. The storyline is intricate, and enthralling. I liked the twists and turns in the story. This is an excellent Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance. I enjoyed it. Eva Caine and Walker Williams did an excellent job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to The Enemy in My Bed, the next book in the series. If you like Mafia Romance, this series is for you. #TheFlock

would've liked an epilogue regarding the future of Brenna & Jacob, and if they had any kids?

Yummy story

First time reading this author, and I am already downloading the next book in the series. I am looking forward to the next book that centers around the bodyguard in this story. The storyline is pretty good, It is a mafia romance, and the FMC does get slapped and punched a few times, but not by the MMC. He actually has no problem breaking bones to keep her from being hurt again. No cheating. He is very respectful, though he did not want the marriage to begin with. The only thing I can say I wish had happened is the narrators to have accents. The MMC is from Brooklyn, and the FMC is Irish. The narrators were pleasant to listen to, but the story would have been more enhanced if they could have used a Brooklyn and Irish accents. Still did not take away from the story to point I didn't want to finish it. I am onto the next story which was introduced at the end of this one story.

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

mafia romance

I enjoyed lIstening to this mafia romance story. the relationship between Brenna and Jacob developed throughout this story. Brenna was shy, quiet, shielded ,granddaughter of the Irish mob. she had a fire underneath, that made her become, the strong woman she needed to be.
Jacob, strong, dominant was hiding a secret that haunted him. He accepted the arranged marriage, as his duty to his family.
Eva Caine and Walker Williams narration is very good.

Excellent Audiobook

I absolutely love the books LK Shaw writes! She writes well with great storylines and excellent characters. I was so happy to be traveling so I didn't have many interruptions when listening to this! I started this series in the middle. I loved it so much that I began reading the books I missed. Listening to it just brought more to the story. My heart squeezed throughout this book. Jacob and Brenna are favorite characters. I'm so invested in the characters. They are like family.

Eva Caine and Walker Williams are EXCELLENT narrators. I totally zoned out and was able to live in the story. Their performances were perfection. Love their voices.

The Devil I Don’t Know

This is the first book in the Brooklyn Kings series. I think all books will be stand-alone books. This is a Mafia romance. Jacob is the estranged son of the Italian Mafia. He is called to come take is spot as the head due to his father’s health. Brenna is the granddaughter of the Irish Mafia. They are to have an arranged marriage. I really enjoyed this book. Eva Caine and Walker Williams did a phenomenal job narrating this book.

Crazy Awesome Good

The story was way better than I anticipated. The narrators were so good. Emilio (aka Jacob) and Brenna meet on the day they get married as part of a union to bring the Irish and Italian mafia families together for added manpower against the Russians. And Jacob is the new King of the family as his father only has a few months to live. Don’t miss the chance to see how Brenna is stronger than expected and the ways she surprises people. And how the two of them take on the world.
