If you’re a fan of the Irish Mob trilogy, like me, you probably found yourself wondering what became of Fiona Ingram when her plans in Philadelphia went awry. Fiona was far too captivating a character to be left in the shadows, so imagine my excitement when this new series emerged, centering on Fiona and the gritty world of the Boston Irish mob. There’s one thing you can say about Fiona: she’s got enough self-confidence to fuel a small country, though that often leads her to make impulsive decisions that land her in hot water. Naïve as it may seem, she truly believed she could just waltz in and take over her father’s organization. Unfortunately, her Uncle Aran was more than happy to disabuse her of that notion—and he wasn’t about to let a woman run the show, no matter how formidable she might be. Enter Patrick Moran, the dark horse no one saw coming. From the moment he found Fiona beaten and bloodied after a run-in with Braiden’s brother, Madden, he felt a fierce and unexpected urge to protect her. What started as a quick escort job to Boston quickly turned into something deeper. With each glimpse of Fiona’s fiery spirit and unshakeable determination, Patrick kept finding reasons to stick around. Patrick’s neurodivergence added such a fascinating layer to the story. Watching how he navigated his challenges and how Fiona had this calming effect on the “squirrels” in his head was absolutely compelling. At the same time, Patrick offered Fiona a much-needed anchor in her chaotic life, a safe harbor amid all the power plays and blood feuds. The delicious age gap between them only added to the tension, especially the first time Fiona called him Daddy. That dynamic brought a whole new layer of heat to their relationship, giving Fiona a rare chance to let go in the bedroom, even as she stayed icy and ruthless everywhere else. Their partnership was electric—Fiona and Patrick working together to take down Uncle Aran was nothing short of exhilarating. But just when you think they’ve won the battle, a new adversary emerges, throwing everything back into chaos. Fiona’s quest to seize control of the Boston crew is far from over, and I am absolutely hooked. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Her Irish Savage is absolutely suspenseful and a page turning Irish mafia romance. The story is captivating from beginning to end, entertaining and an enjoyable read. The novel follows the adventures of Fiona and Patrick. The characters are fantastically written and phenomenally executed throughout the story. The chemistry between the main characters is undeniably irresistible and smoking hot. I adored getting to know both Fiona and Patrick as well as seeing their journey unfolding throughout the book. If you’re looking for an Irish mafia romance to read, then you should checkout and give Her Irish Savage a read. Her Irish Savage is fantastically written, exceptionally balanced with action/romance and beautifully executed by Alix Key. She continues to showcase what an incredible author she is with each novel I’ve read by her thus far. I’m looking forward to reading more phenomenal romances from this author in the future.

This book is so damn good! The age gap is delicious, as is the neurodivergent representation, and the accidental unlocking of a new kink for the both of them - D/lg. It happens so organically, and I thought it was, well, hot.
If you read the Irish Brute series, you've been introduced to our 2 main characters, Fiona and Patrick. She's the super competent daughter of the Boston Chief of the Irish mob, while he's the Warlord of the Philadelphia branch of the Irish Mob. She's young and can be impetuous, while he's been around for a while and becomes her teacher.
You don't need to read the Irish Brute series to read this new series, but there are overlapping timelines, and some things that happen are given more detail in the first three books.
This book is fantastic. I couldn't stop reading and really fell in love with the characters. 5 Chili Peppers for spice! I love Ms. Key's writing and eagerly await another trip to this universe.

Diamond Ring Boston Mob series book 1 is Her Irish Savage. Fiona Ingram and Patrick Moran are perfectly matched. Daughter of the Head of the Irish Mob in Boston, Fiona learned at an early age how heartless and cruel the lifestyle could be. Because of that she became a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Patrick is in with the Philadelphia Irish Mob and he has his work cut out for him with Fiona. These two are explosive together, it's yet to be determined if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Book 2, Her Irish Protector, picks up their story for the next part of their journey in this trilogy. I can't wait for what's to come with these characters!

This series, this 📚 book

I am enjoying this series, this book was enjoyable and I was able to read it in a decent amount of time. I again wish the transitiona between chapters / scenes were smoother and better written but the storyline is well planned and it's spice is about a 3 out of 10. I wish there were more spicey scenes and more details to the whole thing. Worth a read though!

This is the first book in the Diamond Ring Boston Mob trilogy. It’s a very good age-gap, Irish mafia romance. Patrick and Fiona are a great couple. The plot is interesting, entertaining and HOT! Lots of action and drama. I enjoyed it and found it hard to put down. Excellent series starter

I loved it!

I really enjoyed this - great characters and I enjoyed the premise. I found reading a previous series also helped with context but not ncessary, works without. A great read.

What's not to love about a HOT AF Irish enforcer for the Irish Philly Mob who falls apart when the SEXY AF Daughter of the Irish Mob in Boston calls him Daddy? These two are explosive together. Fiona and Patrick are two characters I absolutely love. I need book 2 like yesterday.

[Johanna Marushak · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love me a good, slightly dirty, mafia romance especially if it includes families other than Italians
Don't ask me why. This one was well written and kept me up way too late.

Her Irish Savage by Alix Key is the first book in a new trilogy entitled Diamond Ring Boston Mob Trilogy. It has so many tropes and it was a good book.

While the beginning of Her Irish Savage made me incredibly mad, as I'm assuming it was designed it, I loved Patrick! I liked how thoughtful he was and now I'm eagerly waiting for the next book.

Did not finish

This book wasn't for me, I made it through the first few pages. I just don't like it when the heroin uses her sexuality to seduce men, trashy. She doesn't have to be an innocent virgin but I don't like it when she's an alley cat.

I really enjoyed this book! The tropes were sexy and romantic. Irish mafia men have been haunting my dreams since and I’m not complaining!!!.

I really didn’t like Fiona’s character in The Irish Mob Trilogy of Samantha & Braiden’s story. But as I started to read it I found I started to quite liked her. Her struggles to claim her mob because she’s a woman & the relationship between Irish mob enforcer Patrick that protects her! Will definitely be reading the series.
