Ash
Republished in 2025.
A dangerous empire. An impossible choice. A love that defies the odds.
Gabriel Pada has spent his life as a pawn in his father’s empire, but when betrayal and desperation collide, he strikes a deal with the devil himself—Ash Santori, the ruthless mafia king who holds the key to Gabriel’s freedom.
Ash doesn’t trust easily, and Gabriel’s reckless defiance only complicates the high-stakes war brewing around them. But as secrets unravel and their connection deepens, both men are forced to confront their darkest fears and deepest desires.
Caught between loyalty and survival, Gabriel must decide if he’s willing to surrender not just his body, but his heart. And Ash? He might just discover that power means nothing without someone to share it with.
But in a world of betrayal and bloodshed, love comes at a cost. And the ultimate question remains—how far are they willing to go to protect what matters most?
ASH is a gripping MM mafia romance packed with sizzling tension, explosive action, and a love story that will leave you breathless.
PS: This is a rewrite of the book I published in 2024

That was disorienting. The editing, the writing, the scene building, it was all so disjointed.

Get ready for an absolute thrill ride with ASH: The Santori Brothers! Luna J Kent totally nails it with this addictive, tension-filled romance that you won't be able to put down. The chemistry between Ash and Gabriel is off the charts, making every page sizzle with intensity.
Ash is the perfect charming troublemaker, and his relationship with Gabriel is a wild rollercoaster of emotions. When Ash swoops in to free Gabriel from his overbearing dad, things get seriously heated. The push-and-pull dynamic between them is electric, keeping you hooked from start to finish.
Kent’s writing is sharp and engaging, pulling you into the fast-paced world of the Santori brothers. The plot is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing, and the vivid descriptions make you feel like you’re right there in the middle of the action. Plus, the balance of drama and humor is just right, adding an extra layer of enjoyment.
I tore through this book in one sitting—it’s that good! If intense, character-driven romances are your jam, you’ve got to check this one out. Luna J Kent has a knack for creating deeply emotional, snappy dialogue that makes the characters come alive.
I’m already dying to get my hands on the next book, Max. If you’re looking for your next book obsession, ASH: The Santori Brothers is the one. Trust me, you’ll want to grab a copy and dive in ASAP!

I don't like the writing style, there's no reflection on actions/emotions. I don't know why they are doing what they're doing I have no basis for anything.
"Prove yourself" huh ok! And then goes and "proves himself" with actions I have zero idea what it's supposed to prove or do.
And there's no downtime, just straight from one situation to another. No explanations no reflection so you can surmise their reasoning or thought process.
At Paige 86 and I would not classify this as dark MM and zero romantic/sexual attraction between them so far.

Not long, but I loved every minute.. very unhinged characters. It does live up to the Dark MM Mafia Romance trope..

Read the updated version.. I love this storyline better. The romance between ASH and Gabriel is a slowburn type. But you can feel their emotions, all those small moments is what I love.
Then we have Victor who I hate.
I love how ash was willing to risk everything for Gabriel.
And it's longer than the 1st version which was published in 2024.
10/10
