Kings of New York Series
Ciara
I can’t remember much from before the accident that killed my mother. I have these dreams that show me glimpses of that day. Those dreams and my little brother are all I have left.
My stepfather and his children have never treated me or Ciarán like we belong. We’re more like slaves they gained with the loss of my mom. When Theo’s son Sean goes too far, I risk it all and end up in New York for a chance at a new life.
The huge blond with the mesmerizing smile that tickles my brain is the last thing I expect or want to find when I get there but he’s determined to protect me like I’m his.
Dylan
At ten, when I made that promise, I planned to keep it. I didn’t know my family would move away and keep me from ever seeing her again. It’s been my goal to make my way back home for good.
Ireland is where I should be. If I’m there she’ll come back to me. The problem is, I’m not safe there on my own and my family refuses to allow me to return.
I’ve been training and fighting to make the money to go on my own. Logan and Brooklyn would kill me if they knew I’ve been in the underground rings for more than business. I go through a lot to keep my brothers off my back. Too bad Uncle Ronan and his right hand know me so well they know exactly how I move.
Then she walks back into my life and everything changes. I thought it was a dream the first time. Then she walked into my gym. Felix couldn’t find her for me, but fate brought her right where she belongs. This time I’m not letting her go and I’ll beat the shit out of anyone who says otherwise.
Can our secrets tear us apart? Will my family have my back when the truth is revealed? My cousin has become an African king, but I’ve always been a king of New York. Who will have the balls to test my reign?

Absolutely Magnificent Fantastic and Awesome Experience
OMG this freakin story is absolutely awesome!! It’s a another of my favorite from Blue Saffire. I have really love and enjoyed Dylan and Ciara,” The characters, are so captivating with romance, the vengeance and including all the action, it all made this story so special for me. Ciara,” is the absolute epitome of being a bad MMA fighter with grace, and her independence in the face of all she goes through I really adored her. She enjoys being taking care of her little brother and she enjoys fighting the way her father taught her but she refuses to fight illegally for Theo. What I enjoyed the most is the fire in her. The woman absolutely destroys Sean and his friends and deserve all the whippings she gives them and if you are like me you'll enjoy how her and Dylan is so fire together they find each other irresistible. Now speaking of Dylan I could never imagine a character like this man he will steal your heart. He’s protective of the people he loves (which makes the story), he's made a promise and kept it for years as most O’Brien men are, He how to take care of a woman But the way he notices little things about Ciara like her tells and how she take care of Ciarán. Then he gives her all the things she wants and doesn't want, now their time spent together has so much personal meaning. I absolutely adore their relationship as it develops, especially as she gets her memory back. He's quiet sometimes which makes people underestimate him and his favorite past time is fighting.The chemistry between these two is absolutely intense, it's also antsy, steamy and very addictive.This is a gripping and all-consuming slow burn with a mafia vibe romance that takes your breath at times. It's a story that will have you kicking your feet, giggling and talking to your reader type of read. I'm totally obsessed with the Alliance and I can't wait for more. I give this one five stars but it's worth so much more and I Highly Recommend you read it!!!

Book 2 of the 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒐𝒓𝒌 series was worth the wait. The emotion hits strong, the tension builds fast, and the pacing stays tight from the first chapter. Ciara carries the story with strength and heart. Dylan brings steady loyalty that works in every scene. Ciara’s pull toward more than Dylan raises the tension and tightens the pace. Her bond with Ciarán stays clear and gives the story real heart. I felt every shift in pressure and every moment of connection.
The writing builds each detail with care, and nothing feels wasted. I laughed, felt the weight of the tension, and stayed locked in until the last page. By the end, I wanted the next book right away.
If you enjoy romance with strong character bonds and quick pacing, this novel is an easy pick. It is heartfelt, sharp, and addictive in the best way.

Forever Mine
Dyan and Ciara's love story is so special. Who would have thought that a promise made by a boy to love and protect a girl would carry over to adulthood? But, Dylan made that promise and he was determined to find his girl, Ciara. Their love for each other is so fierce that it would burn anyone who tried to come between them.
Ms Blue, the way your mind works is truly amazing. How you tied all these missing pieces together is just unbelievable. You had me talking to myself. 😀 I can't wait to see who you have next in line, I just know it will be amazing and jaw-dropping. On to the next King.

Blue you did it again! another well written book. If this is the first time reading this author's book, in order understand the characters and the family dynamics you should read her first book in this series "Ronan" at a minimum. To fully understand and get the full experience read "Legally Bound". There are several books but each character story is explained. I promise you will not regret it. I love all of the characters and fell in love with all of them. I love how the FMC are so fierce and the MMC will do anything to protect them. I can't wait for the next book.

I love this family 😍
Imagine meeting your soulmate as a kid and never forgetting them—then, imagine your childhood friend and her family just disappearing, and no one knows what happened. As a kid, that kind of loss is hard to even grasp, let alone talk about. Dylan and Ciara had this great friendship and trust. But then Ciara's life takes a crazy turn, and she's all about surviving and protecting her brother, Ciaràn. Moving to New York totally changes everything for her. I love how their story starts to come together and unfold. It's a really good read.

Mmmm mmmm mmmm 😋
From the first book I picked up many many years ago by Blue Saffire, I have been hooked. And it hasn’t changed. Over the years and through all of the books, she has sucked us into her #BLUECRACK world. And now this book keeps it going. I don’t give spoilers in my reviews. I’ll just say this… BE READY. I have read them all so many times and this will be re-read just as many.

Promises Kept
Imagine a 10 years old boy making promise or ptomises to an 8 years old girl and even though circumstances separated them… he kept fulfilled every single one of them. Dylan O’Brian was “oh la la” !!
Ciera and Dylan will keep enthralled, and not to mention you will spend time with a lot of your old friend … like LaSelle 😉
Great read!!

Love that lasts
Wow. Although I thought Brooklyn was next, I loved Dylan & Ciaras' story. They were so cute and beautiful. Love the mention of previous characters. This Alliance and how it comes together is so complicated. I love it. You keep us guessing. They way you weave your characters together is mind blowing. Good job. I can't wait for the next book.

Dylan and Ciara…
I enjoyed Dylan’s story. I think he and Ciara were perfect for each other. I love how their bond from childhood lasted through their separation and growing up.
I loved Cieran, Ciara’s little brother and how strong their bond was.
I always enjoy getting the Irish and Scottish and American extended families when they all come together.

Love is finally home.❤
Love has returned to the two hearts it finally belongs to, with the separation it has never died but now it's where it truly feels happy.
Dylan knows that a promise he made to Ciaria is finally home and his dedication to the one he loves.🌹
