Finn O’Reilly
Stern, powerful, confident. Oversees his hotel and his syndicate with a commanding presence and leadership, knowing any weakness could be used against him.
And he has none.
Except Una Murphy. The woman he lost his heart to and still loves, even though she wants nothing to do with him.
Or so she claims.
When her life is in peril, he won’t stop until she is safe and back where she belongs—with him.
Can he rescue her?
Convince her to stay?
Will she be a part of his world, regardless of the danger, knowing she is safer with him than apart?
She is his world.
He simply needs to convince her.

MY REVIEW

Finn may not be with the only woman he's ever loved any longer, but he still watches over her and protects her from slightly afar. He wants her back, but the reason she refuses to be with him is something that's never going to change, so he has to be content with listening to her sing in his casino, and watching her on the security cameras. He knows he'll probably never get her back, but then her brother's irresponsible choices lead them back to each other. He'll protect her and keep her from the consequences of her brother's dangerous decisions if it's the last thing he does.

Una loves her brother, refuses to see that turning a blind eye to his behavior enables him. Until it's too late and now his choices are having an effect on her own life. Thank God for Finn, the man she still loves, but refuses to grant a second chance because she can't handle his dangerous life. But when she needs him most, he's there, protecting her, loving her, keeping her from having to suffer more because of her brother. Perhaps now in close proximity with Finn, she'll see who she should trust, and it's not her brother. Perhaps she will grant him that second chance because she can't imagine her life without him.

The mafia men of Melanie's are exactly the kind I like - protective, strong, with tender hearts that beat most for the women they can't be without. Finn is the kind of hero I love most, he's willing to not demand a second chance even when it's all he wants most, because he loves Una and won't go beyond her boundaries. Even when her brother brings the real danger to her, he's only protective, not controlling. If it's possible for an Irish mobster to be sweet, Finn is. Don't get me wrong, he's fiercely protective and a ruler not to be trifled with, but with Una, he's loving and patient. Una really irritated me that she could not see how ridiculous she was regarding her brother, to her own detriment even, but she eventually came around and I kind of forgave her. Still, Finn is the star in my eyes, and the perfect kind of hero. Their story is just the right mix of sweet, spicy, and suspenseful. Niall's up next, and I am so impatient to read as he tries to reconcile how he's feeling for Anna.
