Wow, I was absolutely astounded while reading this book, the story was written well and the characters were really captivating.

There was a lot of twist and turns, family troubles and threats then she gets kidnapped now Finn is panicked that he won't be able to save her in time.

If it wasn't for Christian Herrera, the former head cartel leader who decided to provide him with protection for the three years that he was incarcerated he would've been dead in prison. Finn's father believes that he has been a disappointment to the family and was still controlling his life even in prison and he wants him to prove himself to the family after his release.

He sold her sister Zoe to a human trafficker Shayne who was about to put her into the international human trafficking ring but was unsuccessful because Christian Herrera her husband and his sister Camilla saved her. The thing was he had sold her to two people Christian and Shayne but Christian had no idea of his underhanded game.

However, she later changed her mind and decided to take him up on his offer. Christian went to see Finn a week before he was released from prison. He tells him that he had already protected him for the three years and that there's no place in Tennessee for an Irish mob assassin.

He also was very suspicious of his story of being a retired assassin and wanted him to prove himself by killing a couple of guys that he had been trying to get rid of. He gave him the pictures of the men and one of his trusted man Dawson to show him the ropes. He also tells him not to ever lie to him again.

Ava was also given the closure that she was looking for as it pertains to her dad.

Because both she and Finn kept secrets from each other his family was able to get to her and had she tell Christian who she was going to Oregon with he could've looked out for her and watched Declan and his dad's movement to better protect her from danger. Finn decided to take a permanent job with Cillian organization because he love working in the mob plus that's all he knows. The two later got married when they went back to Oregon.

This is the fourth book in the “Mobster's Obsession Series” and the first book of Kira’s that I have read. It will most definitely not be the last - have to purchase the first three in the series to read! I thoroughly enjoy reading dark mafia romance books/authors and if her other books are as good as this one, I’m hooked!
Finn and Ava’s relationship starts as a business deal and very quickly develops into more. I love these two characters - things heat up very quickly. It is a beautiful love story surrounded by passion, heat 🔥🔥suspense, drama, intrigue, violence, family drama and friendship. The story has an range of people pivotal to the storyline that you will enjoy getting to know and where they fit in overall 😊
A thoroughly enjoyable read from one chapter to the next - at times you are metaphorical “on the edge of your chair” wondering what will happen next. You will fall in love with Finn and Ava, hoping that everything with work out for them and if they have a future together. Overall, I would highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed 😊
Probably my favorite book in this series so far... Books one, two, and three in this series have been awesome and I didn't think they could be topped. That was until I read this one. Book four, Exile and Embrace, featuring Ava and Finn. This story was action-packed. There are twists and turns that left me reeling. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. The characters are great, and everything is brought to life so well that I could feel the emotions of them throughout this story. There were moments I was on the edge of my seat, moments I found myself clenching my teeth, moments that made me laugh, and cry, and of course, the steamy moments left me aching right along with them. It feels like a reunion and the main characters from the previous books show up in this story and it all makes perfect sense as they are all intertwined. Kira does an amazing job creating these dark and dangerous worlds while making the characters so likable (or unlikable--on purpose, of course). If I could I'd give this book more than the 5 Stars I gave it. For those who enjoy suspenseful, mafia, cartel books with steamy romance, I highly recommend this one!.

This is the fourth book in a series “The Mobsters Obsession” that is fantastic! We get to visit a lot, if not most of the characters in the prior books. Finn (Finnigan) is our thirty two year old handsome MMC and he’s in prison in Tennessee for a crime he didn’t do. Although he is the assassin for the Irish mob. But he will be getting out soon. And… His mob boss father wants him to find a women to be his fiancee, infiltrate the Oregon Mob. His dad’s got dirty plans. Ava is our beautiful MFC. She is a nurse in the prison where Finn is incarcerated at. They come to an agreement for her to be his fake fiancee and he lets her ride with him to Oregon. They each have an assignment to accomplish that they keep secret from the other…At first. This awesome story is about second chances, everlasting love and found family. The MFC has affairs with two brothers, so that’s not for everyone. Also very spicy but so well written it dosnt take over the story.
I have LOVED every single book in this series! Each book seems to be better than the last. I loved Ava and was completely smitten with Finn! Finn, like the other MMCs in this series, was in the mob, and like the others, there was more to him. He obviously had a bad boy type vibe, but he was just so sweet with Ava! It was clear that he was developing feelings. Every time he said that she deserved better than him made my heart ache. As much as I liked Ava, and there was plenty in this one about her and her father’s past, Finn was THE character! He was the one I couldn’t get enough of, the one I was rooting for, the character that, for me, really carried this story. I do wish that Ava and Finn had had an honest discussion about her past with his brother, namely all that he’d done to her.

Exile and Embrace, book four in the Mobster’s Obsession series follows Ava Redford (Zoe’s sister from Marriage and Malice) and Finnigan Byrne, aka Finn. Finn is the youngest son of Seamus, a notorious Irish mob boss who treats his son like his personal assassin. When Finn gets out of prison, his father sends him to Oregon with one job, find a fake fiancé and infiltrate the O’Reilly mob and kill their leader Cillian so he can expand his territory. Turning to Ava, his brother Declan’s ex, and the nurse at the prison he was incarcerated at, she agrees since she’s already looking for a way to Oregon, and they leave Tennessee behind, both with their own reasons for wanting to go there. But what happens when secrets are revealed? And when the lines between fake and real feelings start to blur?
This was an amazing story that was emotional, suspenseful and original.
Ex con Finn was made to move to Oregon to infiltrate a rival Mafia to kill the leader, taking with him a fake fiance, Ava.
The danger and suspense was high in this story and always present on the fringe. Finn and Ava were a match made in heaven although their life was anything but. Full of secrets and lies made the drama all the more enticing.
This book held me captive from start to finish, and I loved that it didn't let me go till the very end.
Very well done, this book and the series are very much in my must read list. So so so good!!.

MMC/FMC- Finn and Ava POV- 1st person dual Genre- Mafia Romance (Irish Mob) Heat- 🌋🌋🌋 they do the things and name the parts, using the female P word and the male C word. Series? Y Safety? N Triggers- Abuse, Trafficking, Graphic Violence, Explicit Erotic Content, Language Tropes- Simply Mad About the Mob, Dysfunctional Family FTW, Fake Fiancé, Ex’s Brother, The Couple Who Slays Together Stays Together. What I liked- the book was never boring. I liked both main characters and loved to hate the bad guys. What I didn’t- I know it’s a Mafia Romance and therefore not realistic, but there were some moments that didn’t ring true.

MUST READ! OMG this story was so fantastic. When I saw this book cover it has a sexy handsome man on the cover and it look like he will be trouble but a little fun that will go long for any young woman that he will run into. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was sensational intense. It was addicted and mind blowing. Finn ran into his brother's ex' girlfriend name Ava for a favor to help him and his father was the Irish mob and he was his son. Will Ava fall for Finn will this be her life right now. It has many twists and turns with them all. I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed . I am voluntarily leaving my honest review. Trina Jones
This is Book 4 in the Mobster's Obsession Series by this author. It is an off limits romance between Ava and her ex-boyfriend''s brother Finn. These two flawed but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. What starts out as a fake relationship turns into something more. It is a love story with drama and steam, danger and suspense, sexual tension and chemistry, and twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner. It can be read as a standalone but you enhance your reading pleasure if you read the other books in the series.

This book is amazing. I’m regretting delaying reading this. It’s not as dark compared to the others. The suspense and drama between family. The secrets and lies. It’s something to look out for. And the attraction Finn and Ava has since a long time ago. Through so much obstacles they were able to find their own family with each other. Love the supporting characters too. Their parents are shitty and annoying. Glad it was a happy ever after. Thank you author😘

I knew this was going to be good when I saw it was a Kira Cole Novel! She is just soooo good at writing male characters, specifically MMC's who just adore the FMC and I loved reading every second of it. I could not put this book down at all! It was so good, at the end I found myself screaming at my Kindle for more! lol. This is definitely a must-read series if you have ever read a Kira Cole Novel. You wont be disappointed!
I am so happy that Ava got a story, but for it to be with Finn….perfect!!! I was so curious about him when he was mentioned before and I fell in love. They are both so fierce and protective with amazing hearts. Unexpected twists and turns that lead to falling in love, really hot scenes and happily ever after. I have truly loved this series and all the interconnected characters!!!.

I recommend this book to all dark mafia romance readers.

The characters. The storyline. The twist. The spice! Everything was put into so much detail! The whole storyline was so very believable. Very mafia of course. The fare ride scene was probably a favorite spice scene haha. I loved the twists for both Avas family & then fins family. Threw me off completely. Thgh I did kinda get a vibe when Becca & Cillian came over for dinner something was there.. I would def love a story next on Dawson! J.s

Exile and Embrace is such a fun read! This darkly daring mafia romance has a twisted and engaging plot, highly dramatic and action-packed moments, and burning hot chemistry between the two main characters. I love how author Kira Cole formulates Finn and Ava’s story, the push-pull between the two keeps you on edge, and their chemistry is off the chain. This is a fantastic final book in this series; loved it!
