Conner

They thought she was unsuitable as a bride because she was mute.I thought that made her perfect.

Silent. Invisible.

I could pretend she didn’t even exist.

Noemi

I’ve been promised to the Irish.

My father will kill me if I refuse, just like he killed my mother six months ago.

His merciless ambitions stole the light from her eyes and silenced me in the process.

I haven’t spoken a word since her death.

That didn’t stop Conner Reid from choosing me to be his bride.

He threatens my composure and intoxicates my senses.

He represents everything I hate in this world yet summons my darkest cravings.

I can’t escape him.

The worst part is, I’m not sure I want to.

Because my life is in danger, and Conner may be the only man who can save me.

*Silent Vows is the breathtaking first installment in The Byrne Brothers series. It’s a stand-alone mafia arranged marriage romance, complete with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. A dark romance with adult themes, Silent Vows may not be suitable for sensitive audiences.

A Note from the Author: While Noemi may be a silent virgin bride, don't expect meekness. She is bold, fiercely loyal, and one of the few people unafraid of Conner Byrne. These two are electric, and I ADORE them! 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!

Seductive and addicting. I enjoyed the flow and story line. Well written and descriptive. Can’t wait to read book #2 :)

It has a good balance between the mob drama, spice and storyline. The storyline is unoriginal and has a lot of recycled tropes, but that was anticipated for this genre and I’m ok with it. I wasn’t a fan of the male narrator though. He doesn’t do a bad job per se, but his voice is all over the place. Sometimes it’s kind of scratchy (but forced), sometimes nasally, other times effeminate, but never does he sound like a tough mobster. He sounds like a teenage boy trying to act tough. Plus, he sounds a bit monotonous at times. I liked the female narrator’s portrayal of the MMC better. Overall, I’m not disappointed, but a different male narrator would have made it better.

Glad I bought it on sale

I find this story falls flat, no oomph. The narrators don’t seem to give any energy to this story. I found it hard to stay focused. The male narrator does not have a hard edge voice for this type of storyline.

I enjoyed this book. The plot is fairly unique and the main characters are likeable. There is emotional layering and some depth, although I wish it had more. There is angst which held my attention but not disturbingly so. The narration is good and I think the book is worth the credit.
