KEENAN--CORMAC--NOLAN--CARSON

One thing I can always say, Ms. Jane Henry never disappoints with her writing, bigger than life characters, and scenarios. What a great start to this new series, Dangerous Doms, and with it, you have the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Keenan: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms) 
MY HEART IS IN YOU

The story keeps the pages turning with a powerful, dominant man, Keenan, Captain of the McCarthy Clan, and future heir to the throne. Then there is Caitlin, a secret hidden away and just found—but is she the enemy?

“Most men aren’t pure evil or pure good. Most war with good and evil.”

Caitlin was raised by Jack Anderson, the keeper of the lighthouse and a man she called Father. She was always told she must stay inside, that outside is full of evil men that will do her harm. The man she believes is her father will die, and now, if she doesn’t find food, she will die too. Her first foray into the outside world will bring angry men, and one of them has taken her as a prisoner, he says he has a way of learning the truth. Not only is he stern, but he also stands up to others, and lets it be known that she is his and he will deal with her in his own way—and takes her to his room.

“This woman is mine. The first woman that’s ever been taken to my private quarters. The first I’ve taken prisoner. The first I’ve shielded from my father’s wrath. She could be the one. Don’t be frightened, lass, I’ll not hurt you.” --Keenan

“That’s a lie. You’re so capable of hurting me; it frightens me.” --Caitlin

The story is full of secrets, with plenty of violence, revenge, warring clans, and loyalties of the McCarthy clan to their own. It will have Keenan protecting Caitlin, but also disciplining her as he sees fit. Caitlin isn’t one to hold back, she says her peace, even knowing she will meet with his disapproval, but she also craves his dominance and knows when to submit to him. The chemistry between Keenan and Caitlin sizzles off the pages, and they just belong to each other.

“Your very presence pleases me. A man like me craves the submission and trust of a woman, and you grant that to me without a second thought. And I didn’t know how badly I craved your innocence until I tasted it.”

The story is an action-packed adventure that takes the reader inside the Irish Mafia and how they operate. It includes strong, feisty women, who support the men they love, accept that they must step back, and allow them to conduct business and not ask questions. It is power, control, dominance, discipline, and clan loyalty that ties this tale all together. It is uncovering a long-hidden secret of innocence and naiveté. Keenan must keep Caitlin safe, and together, they can change two warring clans—but will it come too late?

“It was lonely in the lighthouse. But with your family—I feel at home. I could—I could grow to love them.”

“Unencumbered with the ways of the world, she faces everything—life and death, marriage and circumstance, the violence and loyalty that forges our brotherhood—with steadfast loyalty and honesty.”

The story does depict scenes of violence, kidnapping, discipline, but the sex scenes are consensual. I don’t know where this series will take us, but I think Keenan was one of Ms. Henry’s best, and I have read them all.

Cormac: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms)
IT’S ALL IN HOW YOU MAKE IT

The story keeps the pages turning with a powerful, dominant man, Cormac, second of the McCarthy Clan, and while he is a heavy, he is also a man who is willing to step up and take responsibility---for the good of the clan. Then there is Aileen, a pawn, the youngest of the Martin daughters, a tribute to keep the peace.

It is one thing to be Irish Mafia---and just like other things in life, there are standards—and then those, like the Martin’s, who are less than others. The Martin’s owe the McCarthy and make an offer of the youngest daughter, Aileen. When she learns that she is to be given to the McCarthy clan, she will escape, but not for long. On the day of the marriage, the McCarthy clan shows up, only to find things in an uproar. When Cormac finds out that Aileen ran away, has been found, and is now to be punished, he demands it is his right as her betrothed.

“If she is mine to take, she’s mine to punish.”

The story is full of mystery, suspense, secrets, control, passion, and power. Aileen has her own secrets that she will share with Cormac. While he starts this union as a duty to the family---he finds he is developing feelings for his new wife. He isn’t easy on her---and their wedding night has a way of leaving a bitter taste in his mouth—but not because of her. The rivalry between the Martins and McCarthys is deep, and a wedding won’t be changing that anytime soon. Then there are intruders on the property, a life, and death threat against the main women of the clan and other issues.

Will Cormac and Aileen find a middle ground for peace and happiness? Will she still want to escape the McCarthy family when they treat her so well---no matter what, she will go from one prison to the next and yet have no control in her life.

The story is an action-packed adventure that takes the reader inside the Irish Mafia and how they operate. It includes strong, feisty women, who support the men they love, accept that they must step back, and allow them to conduct business and not ask questions. It is power, control, dominance, discipline, and clan loyalty that ties this tale all together. There is excellent chemistry between Cormac and Aileen---he reminds me of candy, with a hard, dark crunchy outside, but deep inside is this decadent truffle filling that makes you close your eyes and savor its deliciousness. Aileen is a woman of many layers; she is tough but can submit and allow her husband to control her.

“You’re an unconventional lass, so it only suits that I won you in an unconventional way.”

The story does depict scenes of violence, explicit discipline, and the sex scenes are consensual. I don’t know where this series will take us, and while there is no cliffhanger, I think some characters mentioned may segue into the next story.

Nolan: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms) 
SINCE MY BROTHER TOOK HER AS HIS OWN

The story keeps the pages turning with a powerful, dominant man, Nolan, youngest son of the McCarthy Clan, and while he has a past that included drinking to excess. Still, he has changed, and now he is also a man who is willing to step up and prove he is responsible---for the good of the clan. Then there is Sheena Hurston, a nosy reporter who has caused trouble for the McCarthy clan in the past, but she has stirred the pot lately, having the locals questioning the McCarthy Clan.

“She’s a drug, that woman, beautiful and dangerous, her mission in life is to bring us down.”

The plot will have Keenan instructing Nolan to deal with Sheena and learn as much as he can about what she is doing and why. For some time now, there has been this love-hate relationship between Sheena and Nolan—but it is going to escalate, and she will become his prisoner. The chemistry between these two is like oil and water, but oh my goodness, when you throw in the erotic spiciness and shake them up, it’s like a fantastic dressing all blending together.

“Hate’s just the start of a relationship,” Cormac says with a smirk. “A very good start, and one you can work with.”

The story is full of mystery, suspense, secrets, control, passion, and power. Nolan and the McCarthy family will learn more of her past, and with the past comes three innocent siblings, Tiernan, Fiona, and Sam—a crappy, useless mother, and a rival clan, the O’Gregors. Having a prisoner is one thing, but when the lives of innocent children are involved, the McCarthy clan will take a stand, bring them in and protect them.

“She’s the most beautiful, dangerous enemy we have.”

The more Nolan and Sheena are together, the closer they become. When it comes to their love of kink, they are on the same page—and both have a loyalty to their families. So, where does that leave them? Will Sheena learn the truth about the death of her father, and what she has believed all these years was a lie? How will the McCarthy Clan trust her after her vicious attacks in the papers—and can she correct them and make amends?

“Love and hate are so closely entwined, both friends on the spectrum of passion. Sometimes all it takes is one tiny action to make the two collide. I hated the man I thought he was. I’m in love with the man he really is.”

“Lass, I won’t ever lie to you. You’re a hard woman to love, Sheena Hurston. You need someone willing to break down the fortress you keep yourself in. This is no rescue, doll. This is a plundering. Ravaging. Taking home the spoils of war.”

The story is an action-packed adventure that takes the reader inside the Irish Mafia and how they operate. It includes strong, feisty women, who support the men they love, accept that they must step back, and allow them to conduct business and not ask questions. It is power, control, dominance, discipline, and clan loyalty that ties this tale all together. There is excellent erotic and kink filled chemistry between Nolan and Sheena. He loves to dominate, and she gets all melty with submission.

“It’s a different world, isn’t it? I say. “Facing the same things today as we did yesterday, only now we do it together.”

The story does depict scenes of violence, explicit discipline, and the sex scenes are consensual. I don’t know where this series will take us, and while there is no cliffhanger, I think some characters mentioned may segue into the next story.

Carson: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms) 
IT’S BETTER TO ASK FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION

The story keeps the pages turning with a powerful, dominant man, Carson Fynn, but a broken man on a mission to get retribution for the murder of Eve, mother to his daughter. Throw in Eve’s friend and the cousin to the McCarthy Clan, Megan.

“For one night, I want to forget my responsibilities, my job. For one night, I want to be a man with a beautiful woman on his arm.”

I will say, I love this series, and Jane Henry brings a fresh perspective to her Dangerous Doms series that her readers seem to love.  Too many authors have jumped on the "mafia" bandwagon, but the stores are so 'cookie-cutter' that they have nothing new to offer.  That is not the case with Ms. Henry's books--nor this Irish Mafia series.

Ms. Jane' Henry's characters are powerful men, not without imperfections, and nothing that happens in her books are over the top.  Her books are page-turners with plenty of mystery, suspense, danger, and action.  Throw in a dominant man, Carson; he is brains and brawn--and then Megan, a cousin to the McCarthy Clan, things are going to get interesting.  Together, they sizzle!

For Megan, she has always had feelings for Carson but has kept them hidden, and she respected the relationship Eve, and Carson had, which resulted in a child, Brenna. Carson is unlike any man she has been with before; he is dominant and brings out a submissive side she hasn’t explored but craves what he has to offer. How will they keep it a secret from her cousins and not cause issues? Before these two know it, they are in deeper, not just physically, but lines are crossed in Stone City, a life is taken, and retribution could come down upon them. How will Carson keep Megan protected? What will happen when he learns a secret she has been hiding? Is Carson a spy? So many unanswered questions.

“If I choose a member of the Clan, I’m in this for life. All of it. The good, the bad, the ugly. Their old-fashioned, domineering, but protective ways. Their fierce loyalty and dedication to Clan code. The battles that take lives.”

The story is an action-packed adventure that takes the reader inside the Irish Mafia and how they operate. It includes strong, feisty women, who support the men they love, accept that they must step back, and allow them to conduct business and not ask questions. It is power, control, dominance, discipline, and clan loyalty that ties this tale all together. There is excellent erotic and kink filled chemistry between Carson and Megan. He loves to dominate, and she gets all melty with submission. It is life and death, the revelation of secrets, new beginnings, and yes, the elusive happy ever after ending.

“I know then, something I’ve known since I was just a Clan child, that life is a series of gains and losses, and the gains may be more powerful with the intensity of Clan life. But it balances it out. It all balances out.”

The story does depict scenes of violence, explicit discipline, and the sex scenes are erotic and consensual.  I don’t know where this series will take us, and while there is no cliffhanger, I hope some characters mentioned may segue into the next story.

1. Keenan
Did someone say Jane Henry has a new book out? Yes, that had me searching rather quickly! "Keenan" is the first book in the "Dangerous Doms" series and, if you've read any of her books, is absolutely drool-worthy. There's the harshness of the Irish Clan. Especially since Keenan is the firstborn son to the Clan chief and is due to take over the reins anytime. She also gave us a HUGE mystery that includes a young woman, Caitlin, found at the lighthouse property. But even that was a secret that was only shared in a cryptic revelation. Then there's the spy element concerning the Clan's activities. Coming from an old-world Italian family, the world-building and family structure were so relatable. The characters and their interactions were so perfectly flawed I felt like I knew them personally. This was an absolute pleasure to read with all its familiarity, twists and turns of the plot, and revelations from a mystery being solved that I couldn't put down until it was finished.

2. Cormac
Cormac's father was killed by a Martin clan sniper, an act of war according to the iron-clad code they follow. Then shortly after his death, their rival, Mack Martin, offered a virgin tribute to Keenan, to be given to one of their men. Marrying the Martin girl would ensure peace between the clans. It was agreed the girl wouldn't marry until she graduated but now, she had, and it was time. As the second oldest McCarthy brother, Cormac was next in line to the throne. If anything were to happen to Keenan, he'd have to take his role by Clan laws but only if he were married. What's worse, if he refuses or the clan rejects the tribute, it's an all-out war between the two clans. Aileen was the sixth daughter. Five before her had been sold to Mack Martin by her father. One even took her own life so she wouldn't have to be subjected to the atrocities. The night she heard her parents fighting and found out she was to be sold as well to be used as a tribute to the McCarthy's she knew she couldn't do it. She ran, shooting her brother in the shoulder on her way out. She wanted no part of modern-day slavery. Jane Henry has the innate ability to create such flawed characters they immediately become relatable and then take them through twists and turns that absolutely had me entranced. I loved Cormac and Aileen's story and would highly recommend it.

3. Nolan
Have you been following the "Dangerous Doms" series? If so, then you're like me and have been anticipating the release of "Nolan". This one just made my stomach clench and my heart melt. Nolan has been the one son that has gone through so much personally with burying himself in drink and becoming irresponsible and a disappointment to his family and clan. He's worked hard to overcome those obstacles and prove himself to be an asset. Now it's put to the test when he's given the job of finding Sheena and getting answers. For me, this was a powerful story I could relate to. Not so much the mafia part but the pull of loyalties and the battle to overcome a shortcoming. This one pulled me in for one reason and just won't let go of another. What a great story and now I'm antsy wanting "Carson".

4. Carson
For those of you who have been following Jane Henry's "Dangerous Doms" series, you'll feel like you've watched Carson not only grow up but come into his own. The Clan's nerdy geek shows so much strength and character in this book and Megan? These two are considered family but are they really part of the Clan? The twists and turns in this storyline had me chasing the conclusion with chuckles, tears, and anticipation. I can't wait for Lach's story next.

Good enough but no build up

Each story was good. Wish there was more backstory for the girls and there was little more non sexual affection by the male leads. But overall okayish

Romance genre: bdsm
Series: Dangerous Doms
Length: 1069 pages

Book 1: Keenan and Caitlyn - Keenan is the heir apparent to the McCarthy clan, a powerful Irish mafia family. One day, he finds a woman hiding in the lighthouse. She's never been out and knows nothing of modern life except what she's read in books. Keenan is supposed to make sure she's safe and somewhat imprisoned - she might know something important and she could be in danger. It seems the best way to take care of her is to marry her. Is either of them ready for that?

Book 2: Cormac and Aileen - Aileen is the promised tribute from another family. Cormac doesn't necessarily want to marry her, but as the second son, he's next in line. But it turns out that while Aileen needs saving, falling in love with her may save Cormac as well.

Book 3: Nolan and Sheena - Sheena is an interfering reporter hellbent on destroying the McCarthy. Nolan, the youngest McCarthy and the one with the most to prove, decides he will take care of her, in whatever way necessary.

Book 4: Carson and Megan - Carson is the clan's accountant and Megan is their beloved cousin. Carson is still grieving the death of his partner and the mother of his child, but he's ready to let Megan in. She'll help him find the missing information that will make a difference for everyone.

Jane Henry always delivers some serious bdsm in her books, and this set was no different. In this case, for the most part the women want it. There are a couple of times when they aren't completing consenting. It is a consolation though that the men are absolutely adoring once they fall in love.

A couple of minor errors, but some of them are distracting.

Next book in the series: Dangerous Doms Box Set, Vol. 2
