My father owes a debt.

I am his currency. 

 I’m supposed to marry the recently crowned mafia king of the Foley family as repayment for my father’s transgressions. I don’t understand why the Foleys would want me, but I’ve grown up in a crime family, and I know the ugly consequences of not doing what you’re told. 

 But as the wedding date approaches, the deal changes, and I’m about to be wed to a man I know nothing about. 

In fact, I don’t even know his last name.

Instead of becoming a mafia princess, I’m marrying the henchman.

Deklan. 

After one look at him, I’m not sure I’ll survive the wedding night.

This book was PERFECT for an introduction to Shay Savage’s writing. This might be my first book by her but it will NOT be my last. This writing kept me quickly turning the pages and sneaking in some reading breaks at work. I’d have a minute here or there and be staring at my Kindle app with Deklan on it. I’ve found that I’ve really developed a thing for mafia romance but this story really has meat to it, ya know? It just grabbed me from Savage’s first words.

I loved Deklan… he has this bad boy vibe going on that every woman loves! He was so much more emotional than I was expecting… plus he obviously just adores Kera. He treats her like his queen. There might had been a few times I wanted to strangle him. He’s totally a dominating, alpha male but has this sweeter, gentler side. I liked seeing Kera come into her own. She’s always been told what to do and when to do it… and listened. Her friendship with Kathy is adorable. Everyone should have a friendship like that. For such a deep book, Deklan made me laugh out loud several times.

Shay Savage has earned a one-click lifer with Deklan. Just the ability to write a book that has so many different feelings in it… it’s jam-packed with romance (hot and steamy), mystery and suspense, along with some good-natured humor. Savage wrote a brilliant mafia romance that is FULL twists and intrigue. Seriously, I was surprised with how many shocking twists were in these pages.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
