The fall of a powerful gangster is just the beginning… Irish crime family. Too stubborn to back down and take the loss, he’s determined to get answers and see justice served.
Sometimes, too much power is the hardest curse to break and Dilan O’Shea is trapped when his father goes into witness protection. Dilan’s devotion to his baby brother and fear for his family forces him into a life of deception and crime. The murder he’s determined to hide is the least dangerous of his secrets. It’s just another piece of the deadly high-stakes game Dilan’s playing when he snatches the snarky, hardheaded medical examiner.
Jake can’t keep his mind off the brutal mobster and the investigation gets complicated when they can’t stay out of each other’s way or keep their hands off each other. Dilan gets more than he bargained for and he has no choice but to trust a man he kidnapped at gunpoint. Can two men from opposite sides of the law solve a mystery together or will their inescapable passion cost them everything?

Let’s start off by saying this is a brand new author for us and we absolutely loved our first story by them.I loved everything about this story and it’s character’s.
This story was filled with love,humor and intrigue, murder, crime syndicate drama,betrayals,brotherly love and a forbidden love story and we loved every bit of it.
We loved Dilan and Roan from the onset of the story as they started things off with a bang and had us enmeshed in the story right from the very beginning to the very end.Roan and Dilan are tied up in the crime syndicate life and its never a dull moment for them and the only thing they both crave is a life less crazy and they want to make it happen.
Jake Tyler is a cop and a medical examiner who lands right into the middle of the O ‘Shea’s shit storm and an unlikely friendship forms between the two men but, Jake is drawn to the charismatic bad boy with those smoldering dark looks and bada** tattoo’s and has no business lusting for the bad boy when he is a cop and Dilan is a gangster.
Dilan was one of those character’s that you can’t help but love with his sexy bod who’s loaded with tattoo’s and has a bada** aura but, we also felt his sadness and and all that weight that he constantly carried around on his shoulders but, we saw a spring in his step any time he was around the sexy Jake Tyler !
Dilan and Jake can’t seemed to be able to fight the chemistry between them but, when they give into their desires things get more complicated and even more dangerous but, they are having a whole lot of fun.We loved Dilan and Jake when they were together as they were super hot together some who say smoldering ! We loved seeing them fall in love and lengths that both of them were willing to go to to keep this new relationship and the love that they had for one another alive if only Dilan out smarts and out whits the demons that follow him around.
A couple of our favorite quotes
Jake –
“You’re like Robin Hood, the Candy Man and Judge Dredd! Awesome,” he said extremely sarcastically and Dilan waved dismissively.”
“You don’t want to know,” he promised. It would have been a tiny McDonald’s sign, just above Roan’s pubes, and proudly declared “Over 1 Million Served”.
Overall the story was amazing and we loved it.It was fun and full of danger and intrigue,betrayals,surprises ,murder and forbidden love and drama and more than a few twists and turns and was all about second chances.The story kept you glued to that pages the entire time just to see what was going to happen next.I have to say that we laughed and cried and we were rooting for happy endings for all parties involved.
A refreshing series that we absolutely fell in love with!
I love finding new to me authors, especially M/M authors. This book is full of action and suspense and is fast-paced. An Irish mob boss and a coroner shouldn’t be together, but they just work. Dilan (mob) and Jake (coroner) have this undeniable chemistry once you get past the fact that Dilan kidnaps Jake. The more time they spend together the more they find out just how compatible they are. I am really impressed that this author make you love a murder and are on his side in the end. This is a page-turner from beginning to end and I can’t wait for the next installment of this series!!! I hope it’s Dolan’s brother Roan! I highly recommend this book!
4 Cranky Stars
Dilan and Roan O’Shea were born into the Irish Mafia.
Their father, Dinny was the boss of one of the Irish gangs and he ruled his family with a fist of iron, beating the boys on a daily occurrence. It seemed that Diiny waited until Delan was old enough to take over from him that he turned informant taking a lot of his friends and allies down with him. This made it hard for people to respect and trust Dilan, who truthfully along with Roan did not want the Mafia lifestyle. Roan always acting the young fool was actually very clever and was moving their assets for the disappearance day. Since one of the bosses had been taken out their was a war to take over his patch, Dilan only acting like it. There were dead bodies found on a daily basis, but when somebody set up the murder of another boss, Bannon, to look like Dilan had done it, he had to think fast. He waited at the crime scene until only the ME and his assistant was left collecting the body. He then kidnapped both body and ME, Jake. Dilan also wanted Jake for another reason!!! The night before he had been stabbed in the back and wanted him to sew it up. Betrayal is a hard pill to swallow, but it was someone close to him that had stabbed him. A spark between the two men started, which they both ignored to begin with but the pull was too much for both of them. A turn of events has Dilan fearing for his life and Roan making a tough decision for his family. Will Dilan and Roan get free? Will Jake turn his back on his profession? This is a very different M/M book with lots of twists and turns….
Snatched, is my first book by this author. I’ve learned to be weary to new to me MM authors. But sometimes I just need to take a leap of faith. And this time, it worked. I’m so glad I decided to read this. I literally devoured this book! I was hooked on the first page, and the author’s writing kept my attention to the very end!
