The Syndicate #2
Ronan
I’ve always known I was different; There was a darkness in me that only seemed to calm in the chaos.
I learnt from a very young age that my job was to protect those around me, to do whatever I needed to ensure their safety.
I have failed a total of three times in my life – the third being the worst.
That one I felt deep in my soul. I knew he was gone before I even got the call.
It broke me and sent me on a path of revenge, a path that will surely lead to my destruction…that is until I meet her.
She has a hold over my soul that I don’t understand, she calms me like only one other person could.
I don’t deserve the calm; I don’t deserve that kind of peace.
No matter how hard I fight, no matter how hard I push her away, she calls to me like a siren, she is the light to my darkness.
My need for revenge consumes me, and I’ll walk into the depths of hell to ensure I make those responsible pay.
My only hope is that her light is bright enough to guide me back out before I’m lost to it.

Okay, so I didn’t know if the first book could be topped, but boy oh boy this book is phenomenal! I loved everything about it. The way the author takes you on the characters journey is incredible.
I don’t want to give any spoilers but this love story is epic, and Ronan may just have pipped Conor to the top spot… OOF! Hot hot hot!
Highly recommend.
Five stars.

Oh wow... this series just keeps getting better. Connor was special, but Ronan. Man. He is just amazing. I laughed (probably shouldn't of as he is very dark), cried sad tears and happy tears. I adore this family. They are just so special. I'm glad they got a bit of revenge. And I'm so pleased Ronan found some light.
I can't wait to read more by toni.

I have been sooooooo excited to read Ronan's story! He had me intrigued from the first chapter of Connor's book. Toni definitely delivered with Ronan's story. Oh my, he is dark, delicious, an alpha and super hot 🔥
Ronan has a demon that needs feeding and he fulfills that with his part in the family business. It has gotten worse since the ending of book #1 but then he meets Liv. Liv can calm his demon and seems to be the only one that can.
Ronan and Liv go on this roller coaster of a journey, of emotion and self discovery. My heart ached for Ronan with everything that he thought he had to shoulder himself and how much he protected his family from it. I really loved these two together and how we saw a different side to Ronan because he was opening up.
Ronan has definitely gone on my fictional book boyfriend list 😍. This book is worth all 5 stars. It has everything you want in a romance but please, if you have any triggers, please check the trigger warnings!
This book does end on a "omg where is the rest!" I really wasn't ready to leave this little bubble when I had finished reading. I can't wait to read the next brothers story and about the family ❤️❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arc Review
😍 The brothers are back!!!
And by god does this series keep getting better. Connor was delicious but Ronan is the next level😍😍
Ronan is in a dark place, full of anger and wants revenge when he meets Liv. She is the light to his darkness but this can’t be anything more than a few days of pleasure and fun.
They connect but don’t know a lot about each other and when the fun is over they part ways.
When Livs life spirals out of control she moves to New York, new job, new city, new faces only one face isn’t new and isn’t so pleased to see her. Ronan! .
Ronans need for revenge is consuming him and Liv is the only one that can pull him back from the deepest darkest depths. But she has secrets too. Ronan loves hard and there is nothing more sacred to him than family.
Can they be together? Can they let their demons go and let the light in?
Book 1 Connor is available now go read it now!!
Book 2 Ronan is released 9th April.
Do not miss out on the O’Farrell Brothers. I promise you will not be disappointed with these two🔥🔥

Toni brought it to the table with this book. Ronan boy is he delicious, dark and alpha but he also loves his family hard.
Liv is sassy and strong and boy does she keep Ronan on his toes, together they are 🔥
Ronan and Liv take you on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey and don't let you off until your ready. The more Ronan opens up the more you fall in love with him.
I loved being back with the O'Farrell Family and learning more about them. Can't wait for Finns book.
Can we also appreciate the cover 😍

Ronan, The Syndicate by Toni Kelly
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶🌶🌶🌶/5
Ronan is the family protector. He has always been the one to keep them safe until recently. He suffered a major loss and it is messing with him. Liz’s life is turned upside down. She loses custody of her daughter and she spirals. The only thing that is getting her through this is Ronan and is family. Can Ronan protect Liz and make both of them whole again? This book is a dark mafia romance and oh so spicy! 😉

Oh my heart, I loved Ronan. A fantastic second book in The Syndicate series, just as I knew it would be. But I wasn’t ready for it to end. I’m eagerly awaiting for the next book in the series. This book definitely has it all and did not disappoint, this series is going to go from strength to strength. But please be sure you check the content and trigger warnings beforehand.

Unique
Stereotypes are obliterated in the second installment of The Syndicate.
Do not take the trigger warnings lightly, some of the subject matter is harrowing, some gruesome and some heartbreaking... All wrapped up in an awesome story.
Ronan and Liv are a different brand of couple. Darkness and light with a lot of spice.

Toni, you destroyed me but you also healed me. At times while I was reading I got tears, I laughed, and I smiled. This is the second book in The Syndicate series which you will need to read book 1 (Conner) before you read this.
Ronans' soul is dark and at times he embraces his demon. For some, it may be difficult to read. For me, I ate this book up like it was my last meal. I fell in love with Ronan in Connors and this just showed me why. Liv that girl was incredible and was exactly what Ronan needed. Some of the things she went through that put me in awe of how she handled it. These two were meant for each other. Now let's discuss those bedroom scenes and how explosive they were. Wow literally just wow. Im sad to see their book end but I look forward to reading Finns.
