A King of New York Mafia Romance
She was taken.
And the city went to war.
Lucky was never meant to be a queen—until she was ripped from the arms of the most dangerous man in New York. Kidnapped by an enemy who knows exactly how to hurt him, she’s dragged into a world even darker than the one she survived before.
But Lucky is done being underestimated.
While her captors believe they’ve broken her, the king of New York unleashes hell. He doesn’t negotiate. He doesn’t forgive. Every street becomes a battlefield. Every betrayal is answered in blood. Because no one touches what belongs to him and lives.
As enemies close in and loyalties fracture, Lucky is faced with a choice that will change everything—wait to be rescued… or rise and claim the power that was always hers.
This time, she won’t be saved.
She’ll rule.
Dark Reign is a scorching dark mafia romance filled with obsession, vengeance, and a heroine who rises from captivity to claim her crown. Perfect for readers who crave ruthless anti-heroes, fierce heroines, and a love so powerful it burns empires to the ground.

I very much enjoyed Dark Reign – A Mafia Romance by Kerry Kennedy. A true romance set in the world of a mafia boss doesn’t seem too compatible, but Kennedy blends the story perfectly. Take away his story as a Mafia boss and she portrays the romance beautifully. Take away the romance and we have the God Father. As with all great thrillers I ask, ‘What could go wrong?’ Each of Kennedy’s books is different from all her other books. One aspect of Dark Reign that I particularly liked is that the book is written in the First Person, but not always the same person. She has a knack for capturing the thought process of each character that she represents with a spooky precision. Great presentation, great story, quite the thriller, and very definitely an adult read – Dark Reign – A Mafia Romance by Kerry Kennedy. For me, five stars.
