She’s my nemesis.My prisoner. I‘ll make her beg for mercy.I’ll make her scream my name. I’ll make her mine.Sheena Hurston’s been a thorn in my side for years. But when she tries to bring my family to ruin, I’m done playing games. She will pay for what she’s done. No one comes before my family. Sheena belongs to me.
This was so so good , non stop action with intensity that will have you biting your nails. Nolan and Sheena have been through alot in their life and these to together are pure fire that can not be put out.
I love how the family bonds and is there for anything, pure yummy Alpha’s this series is amazing and the journey they have to go through to get their woman is addicting.
Absolutely Amazing! Jane Henry brings another brother’s story to her Dark Irish Family. I read this book and felt like I was right there with these characters and
Felt every single emotions right along with them.
Nolan is now Sober and he has to interrogate the nosy reporter Sheena that we’ve m met before.
Nolan has some kinky methods to get the information but it turns out that it’s right up both their alleys.
It was Wickedly fun, scary, heartbreaking, and heartfelt.
The steam coming out of this book makes you think your at the Spa! You live through all these emotions and at the
End is the HEA I had hoped for the whole time! This series grabs your heart and doesn’t let go! Bravo, well done Jane Henry! Another winner in my humble opinion!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
So much more to this story than the blurb. Sheena has an obsession with bringing down the McCarthy’s. Nolan will do anything to protect his family. One phone call changes everything and sets off a rolling thread of actions from that one call. Just the right amount of suspense, totally hot scenes, and totally hot words between Nolan and Sheena. I loved the family loyalty and all the brothers. Family is everything and when someone in your family is threatened you will do anything to help them. I couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed this third chapter in this series. I can’t wait for the next chapter.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so beautiful and all the characters were amazing. Nolan has a heart of gold and Sheena only has one goal and one goal only. To bring all the Mc Carthy’s down. Does she succeeded or will her heart over rule? Heartbreaking, beautiful storyline, wonderful characters and a hea.
Wow. This truly is a dark mafia romance. Sheena has had her sights on Nolan for a while. I don’t want to tell you too much about this story because I want you to feel all the emotions I had, glued to your chair, clan against clan war, action-packed, haunting, scary, twisted and terrifying. You really feel like you are part of the clan as you read this book. Enjoy
Great addition to the series! I’ve been impatiently waiting for the release of Nolan’s story and was not disappointed. He’s everything I imagined him to be from past snippets in the series and more. In fact, I think he’s my favorite of the Clan! Possessive, protective, and dominant – a trifecta of yumminess! The romance between Nolan and Sheena makes the perfect backdrop to an engaging storyline that kept me turning the pages long into the night as I simply could not put the book down. Can’t wait for the next installment in the series!
I received an ARC directly from the author and am leaving my review voluntarily. This is book 3 and is best read in order as all characters are directly linked in the storylines.
Triggers: kidnapping, spanking, dom/sub type relationship, talk of murder, assault
**spoilers**
Nolan, 3rd son in the McCarthy Irish mafia. Always thought of as a party boy who took no responsibility. This book will see a different image of him.
Sheena, grew up poor in the shadow of Irelands mafia families. After her father is murdered and her family falls apart, she gets false information that the McCarthy Clan are responsible. She uses her contacts as a reporter to gain leverage against them.
Nolan and Sheena have instant chemistry and also hate, once they realize who the other is. The author did a good job with Nolan and the story. 4 stars. Sheena, for me was annoying and did not act very smartly considering she has 3 young siblings to watch out for as her mom is a hot mess express. Eventually though I did like her. 3 stars. HEA.
A few missing words but this was an ARC and didn’t detract from the story. Action. Likeable characters. Alpha A-hole men. Sexy times. Quick story. I hope the author continues stories with – Carson, Lachlan, Tiernan. Also, maybe solve the mystery as to who is Caitlyn’s father.
This is the first story I’ve read in this series, I enjoyed reading about the other brothers, so I will be going back and read theirs. I in no way felt lost, I liked that we to see into their relationships, so it makes it very intriguing.
Nolan is the youngest of the McCarthy brothers and has pretty much to his own, he feels he has a lot that needs to be proved to his older brothers. I very much enjoyed reading about the Irish Mafia, the code of the Clan and a look into the family dynamics.
Nolan has to get answers from Sheena, a report who is trying to bring down his family. It started off as an enemies to lovers story, the hate was immense but the love that it turned to was so powerful.
Jane hooked me with the way she writes amazing characters, they bring about such feelings of passion, of angst and some humor as well. It had me on the edge of my seat until I turned the last page.
Nolan McCarthy gives the reader a look into the life of his family. If you haven’t read the series yet, it may act as a reminder that you have some catching up to do. Sheena Hurston takes family responsibility very seriously. But it’s nearly crushing her. It will grip you at how sad things are but you do what you have to because in the end, family is still family after all.
There was one word that kept coming up and it got to the point that it just got itself under my skin. The more pages that went by, it went deeper and deeper until I finally did something about it. Part of the problem became that while I was reading. I kept hearing the wrong accent in my head and I needed to fix that.
It was a very simple internet/dictionary search that would help solve some of the problem. The other problem solver was that the next time I read this book, or catch up on the series, I’m going to play some Irish music in the background. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment of Nolan and Sheena’s story but i would prefer knowing that I was hearing the right accent. Knowing that there’s an audiobook, narrated by two of my favorite narrators, out there will help me with my problem as well.
This story is a great mix. If you like mafia romance, you’ll get that with an accent. Do you like women who do things with conviction but are willing to backdown when the right person comes along. Family plays a big role here and the story shows the different kinds. It’s a story that moves seamlessly from scene to scene. You will get some suspense, some romance, and something just a little darker. The author doesn’t go too dark so there shouldn’t be anything there to offend but some may depend on what you’re used to. This story left me looking forward to more of this author’s work.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
The 3rd book in this series is the best one……..so far. In the first book, I didn’t like Nolan, but by the second book, he was getting his life together. This is his story and wow, I’m totally loving him now. This book wasn’t as dark as other mafia stories but I loved the kink in it!! Sheena and Nolan are perfect for each other, even though they don’t think so. She is a reporter who is trying to get revenge on Nolan’s family for them killing her father but was it really them? His brothers charge him with getting answers from her, no matter how he gets them. We get to seen Keenan, Cormac and the rest of the guys in The Clan. Sheena also has her brothers and sister. There are some twists and turns but no major stuff. This was a really, really, really good story and like I mentioned, my favorite. The characters are solid and the story is amazing! While the story ends with Nolan and Sheena’s HEA, there are hints to another story and I hope that it is coming soon. In fact, there are several people that I would love to see stories of…….Sheena’s brother for one!! Please Ms. Henry… give us more!!!
This is the third book of the Dark Doms series, and it reads as a stand-alone.
Ms. Henry has done it yet again. I thought Cormac was the best in the series, the author ups the power and passion in each book and outdone herself. All I can say is WOW! Nolan is far more than the “enemy to lover” story, the passion and suspense has you turning each and every page. This book is a MUST READ!!!!
Nolan, the youngest of the McCarthy brothers and reformed alcoholic of the Clan. He has been ordered by his brother Keenan to interrogate the nosy reporter Sheena. What is she up to and why is she causing them trouble with town? Nolan has run into Sheena before and dealt with her. He is not happy with the order but will follow it and persuade Sheena with some of his kinky methods to get the information he needs from her.
Sheena Hurston is a tenacious, spunky, smart mouthed, and investigative reporter, who believes the McCarthy are responsible for her father’s death. She has decided she will take the clan on and ruin them by publishing a tell- all exposé. She knows the evidence she needs is in their castle.
I really enjoyed reading the love-hate relationship between Sheena and Nolan. And the passion is breathtakingly hot! The kink and the sex are steamy. Ms. Henry is a true storyteller weaving the feelings (drama, mystery, angst, humor, heartbreaking, and violence) keeping the reader on edge until the end with a HEA.
As advertised book is dark, kinky, and explicit. If that is not your cup of tea, please look for another book to read.
***I received an Advance Reader Copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Enemies to lovers with steam, surprises and sassy sweetness
After his brother Cormac, Nolan is second in line for head of the McCarthy branch of the Irish mafia. He has wasted the past few years as an alcoholic, is now clean and wants to be part of his Clan again. Current chief is Keenan who requires Nolan to prove he’s “back” by finding out from Sheena, a local investigative reporter, what she’s up to. Both Keenan and Cormac have already had their own books. It is Nolan’s turn.
Sheena blames the McCarthy’s for the death of her father and the breakdown of her family after his death. She’s determined to get the scoop on them and do an exposé story to ruin them. Her plan is to go to The Craic, a BDSM club where she has seen many of the Clan. She’s hoping to find Nolan with whom she has a little “history” from a previous book. She has masochistic tendencies which meshes perfectly with Nolan’s desire to pair pain with pleasure. In disguise she goes to the club and gets just what she wants, but maybe what happens eventually is not at all what she expected.
I loved this book. Now, I have to read Keenan’s and Cormac’s books! There were quite a few OMG moments like when they share a shower and wash each other…If you like mafia stories, bad guys who are really good guys and steam, get this book. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book and it comes highly recommended.
Gritty and dark Mafia romance.
Jane Henry did it again. Keenan and Cormac were really good reads. However she out did herself with Nolan’s book. Nolan was a little more kinky than his brothers. Sheena comes back into the picture. She has secrets that need to be told and Nolan is certainly up for the challenge. He requires submission and obedience. However Sheena is not going to take it on her knees. I loved the dynamics between the two. I liked all the gritty fights and struggles between the Clans. I absolutely could not put the book down until I found out whether or not Sheena and Nolan gets their HEA.
Great story. Even though Sheena got on my nerves most of the time, I could see the chemistry between her and Nolan and why he couldn’t quit. The story also has a great sense of family and love that. So not only will the main characters hook you, the side characters will as well.
This is the third book in the Irish Mafia Series. Nolan has had a shaky past as a disruptive, alcoholic reveler and the youngest brother in the McCarthy clan. Through his own determination and rehab, he has admirably pulled his life together. Sheena is an investigative reporter. She is sassy, stubborn, independent, and outspoken. For some reason, Sheena hates the McCarthy clan and is set to destroy them in whatever way she can. Nolan has been assigned the task of getting information about and from Sheena in order to control her damage. Nolan is the hottest and kinkiest of all the brothers. He is an enticingly Alpha Dominant male working with Sheena to control her adversity and lure out her inner submission.
Although I have enjoyed each of the Dark Mafia stories, this is my favorite. It is filled with adventure, danger, violence, fear, rehabilitation, compassion, kinkiness, love and hate. I was impressed by the interplay between all the brothers, their families and Sheena. And, Nolan just took my breath away. As always, Jane Henry has written an exceptional novel that I highly recommend.
