Recommended reads are always my favourite thing to get. After speaking with a fellow Mafia Lover, she dropped this book recc into my hands.

Lucian follows the story of Lucian and Jordyn. He is the son to one the biggest Mafia Don’s around. And so his family is not only feared but respected.

Jordyn hasn’t had an easy life and with her only form of protection now dead leaving her a widower of sort, she has become club property to the diver bar she works at.

However when Lucian catches eyes on Jordyn the first time his heart and mind can’t help needing to know more about this woman and how the pain in her eyes relates to closely to his own.

We build a whole world in this book focusing a lot on the Maida world, the three brothers, their family and in general the Mafia aspect was done really well.

The plot also was unique there was the touch of Mafia and mix of Jordyn’s life into it all along with a romance that felt natural and raw. It was a brilliant read with so many fun attributes for anyone who loves Mafia books and needs more.

Blurb:

Lucian Marcello is aware of the expectations following him as the oldest son of one of North America’s most infamous Cosa Nostra Dons. Family in his world is more than blood and sharing a last name. It’s the honor, respect, business, and the life. Being a Capo is just a stepping stone until it’s time for him to take on the role of underboss but a chance meeting with her could be the one thing he’d risk it all for.

She is exactly what he didn’t know he was looking for.

Jordyn Reese spends her time trying to stay under the radar of a man who wouldn’t think twice about killing her. Unwillingly affiliated with a dangerous MC gang, her life is dominated by the men surrounding her and her future rests solely in how useful she can be for them. The last thing she needs is some Mafioso gaining her more unwanted attention from the club.

He is everything she should stay away from but can’t.

Notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants, Lucian will stop at nothing to make the target on Jordyn’s back disappear. But sometimes the worst threats are the ones you can’t see until it’s too late. The truth behind Lucian’s history is about to take center stage in more ways than one, and it’ll either save him … or kill him.

This world leaves everyone a little filthy.
