Forbidden Love but they make beautiful music together
Thug is the story of Kieran Doyle. He is the enforcer in the family less savory business and is good at it. But he also has another side to him which is that of a musician. He meets his match when he lays eyes on Siobhan. She is a violinist but is also the daughter of a rival family who does not know what her family’s business really is. Even though Kieran knows he should stay far away from Siobhan as it could mean not only trouble for the Doyle family but also for him. The connection between them is too strong and the music they play together, both in and out of bed, is like magic. The issue will be if both families can make peace with them being together and with each other.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A modern day “Romeo and Juliet” but with a happy ending!
by sewsummore
Kieran Doyle was the last man that Siobhan Carney should have become involved with but she did, and never regreted it. Spending time together on Martha’s Vineyard away from each of their families allowed them to fall in love slowly without the added stress of their families interferance. She was a classical violinist and he played the guitar with a talent that had never been appreciated, together they made beautiful music while their familes were at war. This was a tender, emotional story, a modern day “Romeo and Juliet” but with a happy ending

Fouth book in The Doyles series that is a forbidden romance between Kieran and Siobhan…their fathers were enemies and that has carried over to the sons…the Doyles and the Carney’s hate each other and will do anything to take each other out of business…..but when love strikes nothing can stand in its way…. Kieran and Shy are so different and have nothing in common except for their love of music and for each other….this book can be read as a standalone but i would recommend that you read all the other books in the series as they are really fantastic.

A riveting book four in the Doyle series and it is well written, well-developed and interesting! The story line is amazing, drama-filled, funny, witty, and fast pace; the writing is fluid and the story flows smoothly. Amazing characters that are from rival families but just perfect for each other; the chemistry between them is intense and instant! Looking forward to reading more from this series! Definitely recommended!

Book three in The Doyles, a Boston Irish mafia Romance series. Novella length can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone with HEA. Each book about a different Doyle brother with their big Irish family as secondary characters. Seamus and Evelyn have been friends sense childhood. At 18 they had different plans for their future and went in separate directions. Now 10 years later they still at odds but have grown up enough to realize a relationship can work between two people who aren’t the same.

There families are rivals in the world of the Irish Mafia but the attraction between them is enough to set the world on fire.
Siobhan/Shy is well aware that her family is involved in illegal activities but she is protected from th harsh reality of that life even if that makes her feel like a bird in a gilded cage. The she meets Keiren he is the enforcer for his Irish mafia family and a more opposite her you couldn’t imagine The attraction between these two is instant and hot but her father is trying to take over the home of Keirens uncle and once both their families realise they are attracted to one another they try to use it to influence things. Can these two survive the family politics will they be strong enough as a couple to survive You will have to read to see
Keiran and Siobhan are smoking hot! Each book that I read in this series makes me fall harder for the Doyle men and their women. At first I wasn’t too sure because it is listed as a Boston Irish Mafia romance since I don’t really care for dark romance. This is so not that! Yes you have some mafia type content but each book has the perfect balance of mafia action/storyline and steamy romance. Here we have Keiran Doyle and Siobhan Carney that have an unmistakable connection between them. The plot is well written and I loved meeting Vinny. Another job well done!

Siobhan/Shy and Kieran are definitely a case of opposites attract. She plays the violin he plays the guitar, she’s elegance and class, he’s more crass and in your face. Siobhan has been sheltered for most of the dealings of her mafia family. While aware of what her family does she is not privy to all of the aspects of it. Her life was privileged but always felt more like a bird in a gilded cage than someone whose words carry weight. Kieran has taken care of business for his father in the past and is taking up the slack now that his dad’s health has taken a turn for the bad.
Kieran is at Martha’s Vineyard to help his family member and not get involved with a member of the rival family.
Their first encounter in town lit the flames for both of them and now that they find themselves away from their families that fire is beginning to build and these two are willing to suffer the hypnotic lure of the fire.
Kieran is finding it hard to stay away from Siobhan’s innocent sexual awakening which is drawing Kieran to her like a magnet. Their families test their beginning trust in each other once their relationship is discovered. They must decide if what they feel for each other is strong enough to withstand years of distrust and betrayal from their families and find happiness with each other. You get to see these two fall in love and learn to let themselves be happy just for themselves. Old family secrets are revealed and lessons are learned along the path to their HEA.

This is book four in the Boston Irish Mafia Romance series. What an addition! I have had the absolute pleasure of reading all the books in this series and I cannot recommend this series enough of you like the mafia themed stories. This book we get to learn more about Thug (Kieren) and Siobhan. These two characters have a major challenge in their relationship from the moment that they meet. They are from opposing mafia families. In fact, Thug is sent out on an errand to make sure there is no funny business with Jim Carney and he finds Siobhan. Can these two find a HEA? Or will their rival families keep them apart.? This book has absolutely everything to make it a five star read. A great story, enemies, lovers, opposites attraction and a lot of steaminess. Enjoy!

Thug is the fourth book in the series and is another fantastic read, I am really enjoying this series but have to admit Kieran and Siobhan may just be my favorite couple but I have more books to read. These two are just smoking hot when they come together. This was a really good well-written book.
