Helping the Housekeeper: An Instalove Irish Mafia Romance Novella

Rate this book
The first novella in The O'Coill Crime Family Series. The O'Coill's have ruled Las Vegas since the late 60's when their grandfather came over from Ireland. Fionn's dad is retiring as head of the family and Fionn is set to take his place.

Fionn didn't expect to meet the other half of his soul when he ran into a housekeeper for their largest hotel on the Vegas strip. But as soon as he did, he knew she was meant to be his. And he will do anything to take care of her.

Love was the last thing on Layla's mind when she met Fionn O'Coill. She had too much to worry about and too many problems to deal with. But when her problems became infinitely worse, Fionn was exactly the man she needed in her corner.

Helping the Housekeeper is a short and spicy insta-love novella with a housekeeper in trouble and a protective, possessive mafia boss who will make her his.

Fiery and addictive! This mafia insta-love story delivers on all fronts. From the first time Layla and Fionn meet, sparks are already flying and it does not slow down from there.

The pacing is perfect for a novella, it had a good balance between plot and romance. The mafia aspect added just the right amount of grittiness and danger, while the insta-love brought out all the swoon-worthy fun moments. Fionn is a possessive, obsessive, dangerous alpha, but has a sweet spot for his girl. The passion was 🥵 but their relationship was also sweet and had depth. Despite the length of the book, the author does a great job of creating believable, thought-out characters and an interesting plot.

This is pure guilty-pleasure romance done right! I can’t wait for the next installment in this series.

Fionn and Layla

I had so much fun reading this novella. Fionn knew what he wanted and didn't stop until he finally got Layla. They were adorable together. He wanted everything with her and Layla wanted to be with him. They complemented each other well. The story was fun and steamy.
I can't wait for the next book!

This was a fun, quick read! Fionn was smitten with Layla from the beginning and I loved it. Some parts had me giggling and kicking my feet 🤭 “I will not kiss my boss. I will not kiss my boss.”
Can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the O’Coill family!
