I’m from a crime family. The marriage is arranged. I’m the only one they didn’t tell. Mafia business as usual. But my heart is elsewhere.His hazel colored eyes are perfectly framed by that raven black hair and strong jawline. The masculine scent distracts me when he’s close. Van Bailey. Those inked and muscled arms. The scars. Everything about him would push normal people away. But not me.It’s … away. But not me.
It’s nice to be home after 10 years in the service. Being a girl in the military is pretty tough. But I think I did well. Now here I am, switching one battlefield for another. It’s a different world. My brother and sister, The Twins, run the mob business with no mercy. I don’t know who’s boss. I guess they both are.
Van is a lonewolf. Without his brothers and their MC, all he’d be left with is his heavy motorcycle. An impressive machine that makes any biker turn around for a second look. It’s the perfect ride for a bad boy. But he carries a dark secret. His soul is damaged. I can see the pain in his beautiful eyes. Do I also see hope?
The fire that burns between us is too strong to deny.
I just hope I can survive the flames.
Maybe he protects me so I can save him?

Great story!
PROTECTED BY VAN is a marvelous Mafia romance, full of complicated relationships, violence, and the unique type of non-stop action buffered by a swoon-worthy romance that earmarks any Mafia romance novel by author Melissa Devenport. The relationship between Lily and Van is one of those “love at first sight” kind of things which is at first complicated by Van’s association with Lily’s family. Then, circumstances go from bad to worse for Lily, and Van becomes the only one who can keep her safe. The good news is author Devenport promises a happy ending, but just how that can happen is a mystery only those who read PROTECTED BY VAN will be able to know. If you like your romances to be well-written, with amazingly realistic and worthy characters, then PROTECTED BY VAN should be your next romance purchase! I absolutely loved PROTECTED BY VAN for its crisp, non-stop action and the instant affinity author Devenport’s masterful prose built between this reader and the amazing cast of characters within PROTECTED BY VAN. In fact, every title within the Doms of Club Eden series, so after reading PROTECTED BY VAN, I would suggest that you try some other books within the series. Happy pages!
Van and Lily’s story was fun reading. Filled with page turning action,drama, and suspense, as well as romance, I really liked these two as a couple. Lily’s twin siblings not so much. The twists to their story, and other great characters will keep you turning pages to see how Van and Lily’s HEA plays out. I can say it is a standalone as this is my first read by Melissa Devenport, and I look forward to reading more. **I would like to thank the author for gifting me “Protected by Van” and leave my honest opinion based on my reading.** 4.25 Stars!
3.5 Stars***Van and Lily’s tale is filled with dramatic twists and turns, acts of violence, a forced marriage, and some very steamy hot passion. It takes quite a journey, with lots of ups and downs, to get to their HEA, but the ending’s almost too good to believe. The storyline and characters are appealing, and the dramatic elements add excitement to the story, which amplifies the entertainment factor. For me, it was an interesting and engaging read.
I absolutely love the Bailey Brothers!!
Van is the oldest brother and very protective of his family. He stepped up to take care of his two younger brothers and make sure they were provided for no matter what. So when he is called by Pearl for another easy job last thing he was expecting was the gorgeous Lily to turn his life upside down. But when his family is threatened he will stop at nothing to protect them even if it costs him his own life and happiness.
