Blood Ties and Legacies Duet #2
Heritage of Fire
Luna
The best thing to happen to our family was the murder of my uncle.
My father is the new underboss tasked with cleaning up the recent fallout. He decides an arranged marriage is the best way to mend ties between the Cosa Nostra and the Bratva. As the eldest daughter—groomed since birth and molded into the perfect bargaining chip—I’m forced to do my part.
Choice is defined as selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities; what happens when it’s taken from you?
Nikolai
Loyalty is paramount, but it can cost you.
The Bratva are my brothers, and when a secret society invades our territory I choose to enter an arranged marriage. An alliance is pivotal, and I’m pressed to find answers. It’s a contract—a transaction—I will not bend to make her comfortable. But when I glimpse the fire that ignites in her soft brown eyes, I’m pulled in.
It’s only a matter of time before she leaves. They always do.
Heritage of Fire is book 2 in the Blood Ties and Legacies Duet. While it follows a new couple, it is recommended you read Heritage of Blood first as Mafia elements carry over.

Just wow! This book was so good!
The character development and growth were incredible in this book, I loved getting to know Nik and Luna.
I loved this series so much! It’s gritty, beautiful, and heartfelt, while also having you on the edge of your seat at all the amazing plot twists!
Nik doesn’t have a great past and i understand some of the things he did, again because of his past and trauma, but then came Luna and turned his world upside down in the best possible way🥹🩷 The way he fell for her was so sweet and raw, it was beautiful to see. He was protective of her and it was so swoony🫠
Luna didn’t want this marriage and she was tiered of never being wanted and never enough, but Nik came into her life. And she fell for him, she chose him, and he was in awe of her- it was so freaking sweet and emotional to see🥹🥲
This book did have a lot of dark topics (look at the CW on the bottom of this review) but they were handled well. And oh my - the plot twists were so good! Had me holding my breath and gasping at the suspense, it was GOOD!!
And I also loved seeing more of Luka and Kate🥹

September 21, 2025The MMC is just so mean to the FMC and the small romance glimmers we got so far feel off. I’m not really feeling any sort of connection to them or the story. She’s also so young and naive (20 to his 33) and it’s not made out to be a big deal in the book but I’m struggling to not be icked. The action was just starting to pick up but I’m just not feeling it. It probably would have been a fine book but I’m not in the mood to push through.
I love that this author writes gritty, closed door mafia romance and I’ve read an enjoyed other books by her and I plan to read more.

IM DEAD WHAT AN ENDING!!! why am I already in love with Kieran and he's said like 3 things? 10/10
June 14, 2024
2.5⭐️ Lots to unpack here. I really enjoyed the first book so I had super high expectations going into this one. I mean a closed-door mafia romance?? Yes please. Especially since it’s an arranged marriage, (we all know this is one of my fave tropes) buuuuut ultimately, it fell flat for me.
I liked Luna as a character. She was sweet and her POV was enjoyable to read, because there was actual substance to her character and thoughts. I usually enjoy the MMC’s POV more, but when we got to Nik’s, all it was were sexual thoughts and keeping his actions under control. He was a 33 year old man thinking about his 20 year old wife in that way. And that was seriously all it was! It felt super surface level and shallow. And I was like, does he feel or like anything else about her? Her personality, the things she does, actual love? It was so monotonous and icky. So I just did not like Nik at all. Which is sad cause he was so fun in the first book.
There was also waaaay more swearing than the first book. I can handle swearing in moderation, but I thought it was excessive. And this wasn’t just closed-door, it was fade to black. I think there were 3 instances of them leading up to intimacy. It never got explicit or anything and they were married, but it still made me a little uncomfortable. Pushed that envelope just a little bit.
Another thing that was weird was that the book kind of just ended and some things didn’t happen that needed to. Luna asks for help in self-defense, but she never ended up getting into another situation to defend herself. She also has an eating disorder throughout the book, and the author said Nik helps her with it, but it never got resolved, and he never really thought about her not eating in his POV. It was almost like he didn’t care. If that makes any sense. It just bothered me. And Luna never really got a character growth arc. She lived under her father’s thumb all of her life and was beaten down, used, and was forced into an eating disorder, and none of that was resolved in the end. Her character felt unfinished.
I guess all in all, this book was sadly not for me. I enjoyed some things like the raccoon scene, if you know you know, the rescue scene, (again if you know you know) and some of the things Luna and Nik did for each other and together. But if you are looking for a gritty, closed-door, mafia romance, this book will probably be for you. Sadly, it just fell flat for me.
Read if you enjoy:
- Dual POV
- Arranged marriage
- Mafia romance
- Age gap
- Fade to black/closed-door/kissing only
- Protective MMC
TW:
- Moderate frequent language (s**t, d**n, h**l, b***ard, a**, and G*d)
- Kidnapping
- Attempted SA
- Eating disorder
- Violence/torture
- Toxic family relationships
- Mentions of drug use

I’m always down for a marriage of convenience story. I loved getting to continue in the mafia world created by KP Haven! I am drawn deep into this world. The stories can be dark and gritty, but full of life and love in the midst. I was impressed by Luna’s progression throughout the plot, and I was so excited to read about Nik. I loved him in book one. I was a bit let down by his decisions often, throughout the book though. Still an excellent read that takes you through all of the emotions!

Holy Cow! KP Haven blew this out of the water!! I loved Heritage of Blood but this was even better. The slow burn, the tension, ugh all of it was so good. There was such a great slow build to the relationship between Nik and Luna and the payoff was amazing. The plot outside of them was a bit slower but once it took off, it reallly took off. I absolutely loved it and couldn’t put it down.

3.5 stars. I didn't like this one quite as much as the first but it was still good. I hope this author comes out with more books!

6 stars!! The last line made me weep.
“This is what I live for.”

*Adult Romance
Check Trigger Warning
I jumped into this book immediately after book one because of that ending. Nik is Luka’s number two—his right-hand man, protector, and overseer. He comes across as flirty and seemingly carefree, but he’s suddenly faced with the idea of an alliance marriage with the Cosa Nostra to help take down a dangerous organization, the Echelon Vanguard, that’s trying to infiltrate NYC.
I absolutely ate this book up. It had some of my favorite tropes, and the tension was insane. The characters were compelling in their own right, and the action kept me hooked. While these are morally gray characters—and definitely not perfect (it is a mafia romance, after all)—they’re also working to prevent some truly terrible things. I was all in and couldn’t put it down!

Another wonderful read by Haven! Sweet Luna quickly won me over and I already loved Nikolai from the previous book, so I loved getting more of him!
Haven did a great job and maintaining the elements from Heritage of Blood that I loved, while also letting Luna and Nikolai having their own story and being their own characters.
This book felt a little darker to me than the first one, so please pay attention to the warnings. Obviously, I recommend this one and I look forward to reading more by Haven!
(I received this book for free from the author and am voluntarily leaving this review.)

I don’t think mafia books are for me. Even clean ones ha. I couldn’t get over the fact she was 20yo and he 33… especially an arranged marriage. This one felt like it had more swearing too. I love the characters and it is definitely action packed. I love the rescuing scenes. The things the evil men did to women though made me stop reading. Check the trigger warnings!!
SPOILERS and book notes:
I DNF at 80% bc I couldn’t feel the spirit while reading
Nik Russian and Luna Italian. They don’t even know what they look like! Nik lives above a weapons warehouse. “Will she replace my food with chick shiz? I shake my head, determined to knock the irritation away. She’ll have to deal. I’m not bending to make her comfortable.” I love all the Luka and Kate content! “She grins at him, and he steals a kiss. It’s chaste and sweet and everything Luka is not—or, wasn’t. Kate has definitely had an effect on him. It’s for the better; she balances him.” Senator hope not only was taking bribes from Luka and Antonio but a third member too. The club with cufflinks for members with initials EV. “My brothers. My family. (Luka, Ivan, Igor, and Kate) All of whom I would die for. This marriage is a little like that. I’m surrendering for the good of the Bratva; for the good of my family and it hurts a little less.” I love that Luna loves books. He first sees her walking down the aisle: “Luna Buscetta is beautiful, and I’m pissed.” He notices she didn’t eat and cares. Kate is so sweet to Luna too. Luna had picked out his wedding ring and he loves it. “While I walk down the stairs, I can think of only one thing. He was wearing his ring.” About EV: ““EV is a group of some of the most powerful men across this country. They aren’t motivated by family, loyalty, or blood ties. Wealthy businessmen, politicians, and even large drug kingpins are members.” Why they (Russian and Italian mob) are going to make an alliance to fight them: ““EV, also known as Echelon Vanguard. A club for the powerful and wealthy to play with all this depraved world has to offer. Selfish desires motivate them. They have locations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami. They want power, Mr. Morozov, and they have their sights set on the Cosa Nostra and Bratva.” I love how spastic she is with spilling water in her lap and burning dinner. But he thinks it is funny. I love their exploration of the city of Moscow Russia! Getting caught in the rain! Then a car chase!!! Aw!! I love how low maintenance Luna is. Just chill girl next door vibes. I love Nik’s nickname for Luna: Moonbeam. “A beacon, illuminating my way past every fear I carry in the dark.” I love that a raccoon gets in the warehouse and all 7 workers scramble to get it out bc Luna won’t let them shoot it. And Nik helps too. This is when he finally hears her laugh. Dimitry gets killed by EV for trying to help a girl. They are so sad. She helps with his tie. So sweet. ““Can I help you?” I ask, eyes going to his tie. “Nah. Been doing it myself since I was a young boy.” He smiles a weak smile. “Yeah, but you don’t have to.” I hold his gaze, desperately trying to convey to him I’m here for him. Regardless of how we were brought together, we are together, and he doesn’t have to deal with any of this alone.” He hasn’t used the word “wife” yet and at 75% he finally cracks: “The need to know where Luna is throttles me, and I explode. “Where is my wife?!” I ball my hands into fists at my sides to keep from pulling my weapon and shooting every single one of these men. They have her, and I need her back. She’s mine. My wife.” He is going to get his wife. Even if her father doesn’t want her. Nik rescues her from a shipping boat. It’s going down in flames. After words he is the only one at her hospital. He is going to make her feel wanted. Since her dad chose not to come after her. When they got home to their apartment he had bought her a bookshelf in the living room and filled it half with thriller and mysteries bc he noticed that is what she read. “A figurine on the top shelf captures my attention. A raccoon. Grabbing the little guy, an envelope falls to the floor. I open it to find a rather large gift card to New York’s largest bookstore.” the card said: “fill the rest of these shelves moonbeam -Nik”

🌶️🌶️: FTB w/ some descriptors (removal of clothes before door closes)
🤬: mild
*check TW before reading this book. This is an ADULT romance containing dark themes*
WOW WOW WOW. I LOVED this book. Book 1 was good, but this one absolutely knocked it out of the park for me. I loved the marriage of alliance aspect (MoC is my fav trope), it brought so much tension and angst to the story. I also love that we got to see more of an emotional relationship develop between Nik and Luna (something I felt was lacking in book 1- but also was partly due to the difference in character personalities and their roles within the Bratva organization).
Neither Nik nor Luna wanted the marriage, but duty demanded it of them. The more time they spent with each other though, the more they couldn’t stay away. They didn’t want to like each other, but they just couldn’t help themselves. LOVE when that happens! 🤌🏼 There were so many great parts that made me smile from ear to ear and swoon. When Luna tries to make dinner but burns herself, then Nik takes care of her injury. When Nik surprises Luna with a bookshelf and takes her to the bookstore. When Nik FINALLY introduces Luna as “my wife” for the first time. When Luna tracks Nik down (ON THE JOB - mind you) and puts him in his place… yas queen! UGH I could go on and on. 🥹
This book was everything I could have asked for, my only wish was that we got 10 more books with these Bratva men. 😂 anddddd maybe a longer epilogue. The epilogue was sheer perfection, but torturous only giving a small glimpse into Nik/Luna and Luka/Kate’s futures.
If you like books with darker themes, but that won’t push the limits like others in this genre, then I highly recommend this series.

I really wanted to like this. Close door, mafia romance is hard to find and I was so excited for it.
But after slogging through it all evening long and making it to just barely the 50% mark and there’s still not a whole lot of understanding of who each of the main characters or why they have any sort of chemistry at all- I just have to give myself permission to put it down
It seems like both characters are almost fully developed for their motivations and for who they are or want to be individually but you get little spurts of fire in each of them that don’t really fit the rest of who they are. It’s almost like another character OSS being described for a a brief moment.
this completely throws their chemistry off other than being explained by instant connection that the they both want to deny. And there’s too many times where one of them suddenly understands what the other one was assuming about them and correct it with little to know reasoning behind this. even though the reader knows that the MMC is thinking one thing or another, he has given no reason to the FMC to understand any of it.
I get really frustrated with details such as Luna being stuck in the warehouse for a month by herself, but then suddenly not wanting to be alone when Nick goes to Russia. Why is she worried? She’s alone every single day all day all the time!
And why the heck did Kate not invite her over to hang out for like three months?! You would think if Kate was worried about her she would have invited her over on day two and they could’ve formed a friendship and given Luna something to live for besides Reading all day I guess?

Arc Review| 4.5⭐️|closed door
“I don’t want to be with you for the sake of duty, or for an alliance. I want you for you. I want to make a life with you. A family. We go beyond duty now, Luna. You’re mine—my life. I’m madly in love with you.”
Luna Buscetta spent her entire life locked away on the estate of the Cosa Nostra. A mafia princess only seen as currency in their world, her father offers her to the Bratva for marriage so that he can form an alliance that will prove to be beneficial to both entities.
Luka Balakin, the second to the Pakhan, has completely sworn off women ever since his mom left as a child. Though he’s unable to commit to any relationship he’s a known charmer whose loyalty lies with the Bratva and soon enough Luna.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The story was medium paced, learning about both MCs was also cool and seeing them develop over the course of the story was everything for me. Reading Nik’s POV was also really funny because he kept trying to give himself little pep talks so he didn’t fall for Luna, but that didn’t work out all too well because he fell fast and hard for her😅. I definitely recommend check out this book. It’s book two in the Blood Ties & Legacies Duet, and I totally recommend checking out the first book before reading Heritage of Fire.
Some tropes to consider:
🔥arranged marriage
🔥where’s my wife
🔥secret society

After Salvatore's brother was killed by Luka for conspiring with Senator Hope against the Bratva, the Cosa Nostra is seeking an alliance. When Salvatore suggests a marriage between his oldest daughter, Luna, and Luka's second, Nik, he immediately rejects the idea. However, Nik sees the value in an alliance, especially since they are up against an unknown threat.
I liked Nik's character in the first book and was glad he got one of his own. He is loyal to the Bratva and to Luka and is conflicted as to how he can reconcile his growing feelings for Luna with his position in the Bratva.
Luna has been hidden away from the world and has been allowed few choices of her own. She doesn't want to get married to some man she's never met, but she does what's expected of her.
I liked that Luna determined to make the best out of her situation and that she learned to grow a backbone and stand up for herself and those she cares about.
Trafficking of young girls is a theme in this book. There is also a scene where a man tries to force himself on Luna, although he is interrupted before anything can happen. So, I would suggest reading the trigger warnings.
There is mild cursing in this book. This is a slow-burning, fade-to-black romance book. I did think her descriptions before the fade got a little longer in this book.

Nik is an easily lovable character that hooked me in book one, but man… the dude was so frustrating through the first half of this book!!
Nikolai & Luna are thrust fully into a whirlwind arranged marriage so the Italian and Russian mafia can unite against a common enemy. At first, it does not go well. Neither of them want this, and it is awkward, uncomfortable, and, for Luna, quite lonely.
However, it all starts to shift! But just when you think the HEA is on the horizon BAM! Some wild events take place, and the absolute storm continues. Take it from me, it’s fabulous.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Beautifully written and full of heart
Wow — where do I even begin? Blood Ties and Legacies completely pulled me in. I think Nick and Luna’s story ended up being my favorite. I’ve always loved a slow-burn romance, and this one delivered perfectly. Both characters had their own walls and vulnerabilities, and watching them slowly open up and grow together was so satisfying.
What I especially appreciated was how real their emotional connection felt. It wasn’t rushed or shallow — it was genuine love built on trust and understanding. Even though the story takes place in a mafia world, it still manages to focus on healing, protection, and finding safety in love.
And can I just say how refreshing it was to have all the chemistry and tension without explicit scenes? That made me love it even more. I’ve been wanting to find a mafia romance that focuses on love and connection rather than just lust — and this was exactly what I was hoping for.
I can’t wait to read more from this author. Highly recommend if you enjoy slow-burn, emotionally rich romances with depth and heart.

I’ve been waiting for this book since I stumbled upon Heritage of Blood a few months ago. GOSH I loved it. And I’m here petitioning for a Kieran story! 😂
Heat and sizzle pop in this closed door Mafia romance about Nikolai, the enforcer to the head of the Russian Mafia and his arranged marriage to Luna, the daughter of the head of the Italian Mafia. I loved Nik in book 1 as the third wheel and cheerleader to Luka and Kate, and his story was impossible to put down.
Tropes:
- arranged marriage
- age gap (she’s 20 and he’s 35)
- one bed
- touch her and die
- found family
Content:
- disordered eating
- attempted SA
- references to sex trafficking and descriptive visuals of trafficked women in a club
- heavy drinking
- minimal language (a**, h***, d***, s***)
- closed door but STEAMY with a good amount of heat and description
K.P Haven PLEASE keep writing. I will read and would be happy to ARC any story you want to bless us with 🩵

I loved it! It was such a good follow up to the first in this duology. And I appreciated how distinctly different it was from the first in terms of Luna & Nik vs. Kate & Luka. Each couple has their own unique quirks. With Luna, I felt like she was a klutzy bookworm. And with Nik, I felt like his mommy issues meshed well with Luna’s childhood trauma. Yay for trauma bonding. Although a bit slow in the beginning, the main plot was interesting enough to stay curious about the secret organizations. The romance between Luna & Nik was more awkward than with Kate & Luka but it turned out super cute in the end. Like I said with the first book, I could easily imagine this as a tv show or a movie because of all the action and slow burn romance. Oh and I almost forgot! The spice in this book is basically black pepper. Not boring, but not Rated R either. It was well done to me and left lots to the imagination!

📚Book Review: Heritage of Fire by KP Haven
4.5⭐💫
📖This is book 2 in the interconnected Blood Ties and Legacies duet. Luna is the eldest daughter of the Cosa Nostra (Italian Mafia) in NYC. From a young age, Luna has been groomed to be a princepessa--sold into marriage to strengthen the Cosa Nostra mafia alliances. So, she shouldn't be surprised to be married to Nik, the second in command at the NYC Bratva Russian Mafia. Told from multiple perspectives, we follow Luna and Nik as they navigate an arranged marriage, deal with life threatening situations, and understand the importance of love.
📚What you can expect:
• Closed door fade to black romance
• Arranged marriage / marriage of convenience trope
• Available on Kindle Unlimited
• Crazy dramatic ending
• NYC setting
⚠️mild cursing / mentions of drugs / emotional and physical abuse
🌶️none
💖I really enjoy these books! KP Haven knows how to write and I am officially a fan. The arranged marriage / marriage of convenience trope typically comes in historical romance, so I was really intrigued with the setup in this mafia romance. The characters were written with such emotion and personality, and wants and desires that they felt real. This romance is more tender than the first book, and explores themes of building a family and how to love someone well under intense circumstances. The age gap between the couple was also done well and didn't bother me.
😣This was so much fun to read! This book is equally as good as book 1, but I think I prefer the first book's love trope better. I highly recommend this series if you're ever looking for a closed door suspense romance book!

Heritage of Fire by KP Haven
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read book 1 of the Blood Ties and Legacies Duet last year as an ARC and have been dying to read book 2 since I finished! I was very excited to receive this ARC and I’m happy to say Heritage of Fire did not disappoint!
I loved this story from page 1 right on through the epilogue! Nik was one of my favorite characters from book 1 so I was thrilled that this book was his story! Nik and Luna were so much fun to read and as their romance unfolded I found myself swooning over and over. The mafia aspects of the storyline were really exciting to read too! Overall, I really enjoyed reading both books in this duet and am so grateful to have been chosen to read both books as ARCs.

this was a good sequel! i loved nik in the first book, so when i realized this book was about him— i was over the moon. this book features a new character, luna, who i adore. she's so sensitive with her emotions and surroundings, closing herself off for most of the early years of her life, to being more bold and confident. there were quite a few tropes in this book: marriage of convenience, age gap, and unfortunately, a lot of miscommunication. if you plan on reading this, do check the trigger warnings. it proved to be intense at a few points. the characters' arcs, the shared moments, and the relationship we got to see from the first book come back in this book were all the convincing i needed to read this book! excited for what's next!

I just can't believe I read not one but two mafia romances in a row that are closed door. I can finally go to haven.
This one I liked better than the first one. The structure issues from the previous book were not present in this one. Everything fell into place at the right moment to keep the story interesting. And the genuine issue regarding the romance was well done. Nik was so fucking good, I can't anymore!!! And Luna was reserved but so mentally strong.
What can I say, I need more from this author soon.

Oh my goodness this was so good! I would give this All the Stars!
I don't think I could love this more than the first book but I did!
Watching Nic (and Luna for that matter) grow in this book was remarkable. Watching Them fall in love was so cute the perfect amount of action.
This was the perfect ending to the duet.
The way I NEED a spinoff series immediately is not funny.....
Such a great marriage of convenience, Mafia, closed door romance.
This book feels like a comfort read from the first page

I liked it!
I liked it, but not nearly as much as the first. It's still a good book, and you should definitely read it. The emotions felt real. It wasn't a quick strangers to lovers flip. Your heart breaks for her the entire book. Especially at the climax of the book. Speaking of climax, this is a very steamy, descriptive kisses, descriptive desires, fade to black book. He says good girl, but isn't nearly as hot as Luka saying it. I love Nik and I'm so happy he got his own book and HEA. Like I said before, READ IT!!!

Another absolutely fantastic book by Kp Haven. I devoured this one. It was so different than Heritage of Blood. I’m one of those girls that buy the paperbacks of their favorite books & this is one of my top favs of this year! I would HIGHLY recommend this series and this book. I can’t say how much I loved this! I would literally reread it in a heartbeat.
Cw: it does have HEAVY topics including s3x trafficking, abuse, etc. it is fade to black.

A delightful tale
I really enjoyed reading this story. Even though it is within the Mafia genre, it’s not as brutal the some. The slow burn romance is sweet. I enjoyed all the different characters. The author achieved her aim at tugging on the reader’s heartstrings, portraying a very lonely, isolated female protagonist, Luna. While the plot isn’t startling, the writing is good, and it is simply a lovely story.

I loved this sequel to Heritage of Blood! Nik and Luna's slow-burn romance was perfect, and a fun following up to Kate and Luka's story since you are able to see their characters as well. I think I may have even enjoyed this book more than the first one. I know it says it's a duet, but I would love a book about Bella, Luna's sister. Definitely a 5 star read if you enjoy mafia romance!
