Corrupted Union

The Byrne Brothers, Book 2

De: Jill Ramsower

Narrado por: Lidia Dornet, Gregory Salinas

Keir

The governor’s daughter has gotten herself into a mess.
If I protect her, her father will owe me, bigtime.
But the best way to keep her safe is to marry her.
Claim her as one of our own.

The catch? She’s got a boyfriend she’s not ready to part with.
Good thing an unwilling bride isn’t an issue for a guy like me.

Rowan

How is it that years of toeing the line could unravel so damn quickly?

I’ve done my best to make my parents happy in every way.
But when a six-foot tatted Irish gangster showed up at our house, my entire life began to crumble.

Now, I’ve woken with a ring tattooed on my finger, and I’m starting to worry there’s no going back.

*Corrupted Union is the second book in The Byrne Brothers series. Each book in the series features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone with a happily ever after, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended listening order. A dark romance with adult themes, Corrupted Union may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. For a more detailed content warning, you can visit the books tab on my website.

A Note from the Author: Keir is my Tommy Shelby, and I am so utterly in love with him. A savage ruthlessness hides beneath his calm exterior, which is shattered when Rowan comes crashing into his world. They may not see it at first, but these two are perfect for one another!

For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!

Love this book

Absolutely loved this book and this series is amazing. The author has us tangled in the web for each characters story and this one has me on the edge the whole time!

Great read!

The book has good flow, the story line is good! Hamster meets love story. This is part of a series, all the books have been good so far!

4.5 Stars

Corrupted Union is book 2 in the Byrne Brothers series. This is a mafia romance with a forced marriage. The main characters are 32 year old, Keir, who is in the Irish mob, and 22 year old, Rowan, who is the governor's daughter. Rowan finds herself in trouble and Keir protects her. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I didn't want to put it down. I am looking forward to continuing the series. This book is told in dual POV and both narrators did a good job. 4.5 stars.

author

The author is so poetic.
loved the fact it wasn't drawn out long monologs of inner thoughts . if I thought the first book was good this was freaking phenomenal

I Loved this!

From start to finish, I was on the edge of my seat. I cried, I chuckled, and I smiled feeling like I was right there in the story along with them. I absolutely Loved it! I finished in a day!

Now onto book 3!

Rivals To Lovers With Great Narration

Corrupted Union is the perfect title of this book. You get Mafia forced marriage, rivals to lovers, good girl/bad boy, and tragic past. If those tropes don't get your attention, a tattooed Keir would do it. This man is everything you want in an OTT alpha.

Rowan and Keir have this tension, and it makes the story so much more than just rivals to lovers. When they come together, sparks fly!
Rowan is not the girl who sits and watches things happen. She makes things happen, and she doesn't let anyone tell her what to do.
Keir is over the top but has a softer side when it comes to his wife. There is just something about a man who adores his wife and protects her at all costs.

The audio is really good. I can admit this is my first time listening to Lidia Dornet, and I liked her voice. When Rowan gets into sticky situations, Lidia captures the moments with her voice.
Gregory Salinas is a narrator that I have always liked. He is great at reading Keir's chapters. The way he changes his tones for the moments that are more demanding or cold is perfect.

I would highly suggest reading these in order.

Going to jump into the next one...

It takes a while to get into, but you get sucked in!

I was so excited to run to book 2 after reading book one in one day. This series is so intoxicating. This one took a little while to get into just because of the far-fetched situation, but eventually you start rooting for the couple. These books are the best kind of toxic gray love lol can’t wait to go into book 3.

Great story!

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The characters were great . I loved keir he was perfect even thought he had a hidden agenda. Rowan who suffered her tragedy in silence wrung my heart and to be with such a supposed upstanding guy. How these two met and how keir got what he needed , without knowing how he would want it even more. Watching these two fall I love was beautiful. I love how they discovered treachery in the ranks of the Irish family and also seeing the disposable deeds of certain people. The narration was Beautifully done and brought more excitement to the words that were written .

Irish Devine

Fairy tales was not in my future, but suddenly it was there. I was swept of my feet and all my fighting against it, couldn’t stop the train to collide with me.

Really enjoyed...and it's HOT

Loved this book!! Very good story, the spice was spicin', the MC was smoldering and the FMC was real, strong and relatable as hell. I listened on Audible and I'm SO glad I did....highly recommend the audio!!
