Llir: The Tirana Brothers

Tirana Brothers #1

by K.L. Ramsey

Elira was in the wrong place at the wrong time and now, she was living in the middle of a nightmare. She was easily forgotten and the men who took her knew that no one would come looking for her. She was expendable but placing her up for auction turned into their biggest mistake. She walked into a disaster that she wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to find her way free from. Llir watched her being paraded around on stage, wearing close to nothing, and he nearly swallowed his damn tongue. How could he let someone else bid on her, win her, and make her theirs? The simple answer was—he couldn’t. No, he wanted her, and he’d be damned if he was going to let anyone else have her, even if it went against his father’s wishes. As acting head of the Tirana Brother Syndicate, he should be able to make his own decisions and choose what he wanted. He had already given up the love of his life—Tarek because he was afraid of admitting the truth to his father. Llir wanted the sexy little hellcat up on stage—God help him, and he'd be damned if he was going to make another sacrifice for the good of his family. Llir is book one of the Tirana Brothers Series, in the Social Rejects Syndicate, by K.L. Ramsey.

ღ what an Incredible beginning, to a brilliant new series ….. And believe it or not romance story….
Elira, Llir & Triana

I don’t know how I can explain to you about how Elira’s tragedy turns into something so Incredible… At first, I thought I would have hated this book, cuz of Sex Trafficking part of it, but surprisingly the author turns it around into very sweet romance read

She had been used, broken, and had her spirit beaten out of her. When they first took her, she still had some fight that made her hope for rescue. She never would have believed that she’d end up in a cage for three months, begging for death, or that she’d be sold to the highest bidder at auction.

Llir Tirana -As the oldest son, he had been groomed his whole life to take over as the head of the Tirana family. Llir’s father was a tyrant, but Llir was willing to do just about anything to have his father’s approval, until that night he seen Elira up for auction


Triana Garo - his family ran a crime syndicate that rivaled the Tirana’s.
I think that I might have said too much already about these three & their crazy story , but I must say

📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book.

Happy Reading --- Enjoy ……. Paulette Review

Oh my goodness! Elira's story is just heartbreaking and so tragic. Llir Tirana seems to be Elira's salvation but his father has other plans and going up against the head of The Family proves to be easier said than done. Llir and Elira have quite the journey and there's no shortage of excitement and twists and turns for this couple. K.L. Ramsey, as always, has brought us a fabulous beginning to a brilliant new series.

This was a great read about going against your family for someone you want and trying to break free from the control your family has over you and what they want you to be and following your heart and protecting the ones you love at all costs to keep them safe.

[Nicole Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my oh my. Such an intense story. I could not put this book down. I was sucked in from the first page all the way to the last. I loved everything about this trio. There story is intense. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Llir Tirana is the acting head of the Tirana family right now and he is being watched constantly. Everything he does is a test and will be reported back to his father. He can’t do anything that will make the family look bad or make himself or the family look weak.

Elira wants to fight, but she knows that if she keeps fighting there will be nothing left to fight for. She has been broken and weakened and they want her that way. No one is looking for her and there is no one in her life that even knows she’s missing.

The Tirana family is part of the Albanian Syndicate. They’re powerful, respected, and lethal. Llir is the eldest son and next in line to take over as head of the family, but their father has a hard time letting go of the reins and expects complete loyalty from his crew as well as his sons. I enjoyed this story of a mafia family that has a bit of a twist to it. Llir and Elira are strong characters and their paths in life started out differently, but their future could be the part of their lives if they can find a way to be free to live it the way they want to. I give this story a 4-star review and suggest it to reader that mafia families, strong women that may be broken but can be made stronger in the process and men that are possessive and looking to live their lives by their own rules and desires.

Elira was kidnapped, raped and held captive for months and now she's about to be put on the auction block for sale to the highest bidder.

Tarek Garo is a photographer and loved Llir for three years before giving him an ultimatum to come out to his family or walk away.

Llir Tirana is the oldest son and acting head of the Tirana Family. His father runs a human trafficking and a gun smuggling ring. He's bisexual but gave up the love of his life because his famlly would not accept his desires.

When Llir sees Elira on the auction block he doesn't think he just acts, jumping up, paying for her and whisking her away to safety. He's broken a family rule and they must run and hide to evade his father's wrath.

While things start as ugly as you expect a mafia dark romance to start, it develops into a three way love affair as Elira heals and opens her heart at first to one man and then the other.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/

Yet will they be able to leave the mafia without consequences???? Can they have it all together??? Can't wait for more to come. Lives are on the line for everyone. The ending of this book comes with a cliffhanger. We just need more from K.L

What an intense, dramatic beginning to this series! I wasn't sure that I would get into it, but after a few pages i was hooked and went down the dark rabbit hole of this brutal mafia family. Llir Tirana is the head of the Tirana and is controlled by his father at every turn. Elira has been kidnapped, beaten, raped and being sold on the auction block . Tarek is a photographer and has been the love of Llir's life for a few years, but he knows his family will not accept his choice so he keep it hidden from them until one day he sees Elira on the auction block and everything changes for all three of them. These three broken souls will start on a journey of healing and love. An amazing start to this series and I volunteered to review this story.

Elira had been taken and was up for auction when Llir Tirana, the son of the head of the Tirana syndicate and the host of the auctions sees her and for some unknown reason wants her and goes against his father and buys her. They go on the run and with the help of Llir's ex boyfriend Tarek, who he still loves they go to the US and Llir's brother Altin sets them up in a safe house.

This is a really good story from the very beginning and is first book about the three brothers and their relationships.

[Windi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Llir Tirana lives in a world of corruption and greed. A world where he is expected to do what his father wants him to do. He may be leading the family, but there are still rules he must follow. Loving a woman who he rescues from his family’s human trafficking ring is not a part of the rules. Neither is loving another another man. But Llir decides to turn against his family and live the life he wants with the two people who mean the world to him. This was such an emotional read. Have your tissues ready!

[Book Lover · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elira was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Llir was at the right place at the right time. Llir knew that Elira was the women for him but he was still in love with Tar. Llir was just getting Elira to trust him after all of the cruel things had been done to her but he didn't know how to help her adjust to another man in their relationship. K.L. Ramsey does an excellent job of putting all their stories together and throwing in a suspense with what Llir's father will do to them if he finds them

[Kim Kurtz · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW! A little dark at first. I wanted to hate Llir for his acceptance of his family business. But he pulled through to see Elira and Tarek safe and loved. Elira had a terrible childhood into adulthood (so sad), but she wasn't bitter, she dealt with life as lived.. I loved Altins sacrifice for his love of his brother.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just finished Llir and while at first I was hesitant and almost gave up due to the human trafficking and it seeming like Llir was ok with it, I’m really glad I didn’t.

It gave me feelings and I don’t like that (jk I cry at everything). I felt angry and happy

Starting Alton now and can’t wait for Veton on July

Also how do you pronounce Llir

[Ivy Blacke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredible

Llir, Elira and Tarek....They were incredible together. The fire and heat between them was hard to ignore. The hiding from his family was hard but necessary. It sucks the sacrifices they all must make, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Can't see to read more about this family.

[Mona williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

[K. Logan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story, had me pulled in straight from the get-go. I loved it. I am eagerly awaiting book two to come out so I can see how the ending went!!!!

If you like the mafia and are interested in books with twists, turns, and heat, you need to read this. OMG

[Penny Manis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book. Like that all 3 of come through their own issues and make it so they can be together. Great start to a series can not wait to read Altin.

[Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I knew this was going to be good and different but it threw me for a loop. The story, the chemistry, and the twists it took had me unable to blink. I can't wait for more!

[Carmen Torres · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved these characters. They were beautifully written. The same for the story well written and wonderfully fleshed out.

[tracy johnson]

A great read!

Love this author! She always delivers a great story from start to finish. Can't wait to read the other two books!

[Latifa Morrisette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Llir by KL Ramsey is intense from the get go. Elira and Llir's story made me hurt for both of them. I can't wait to see what KL Ramsey has in store for the Tirana brothers.

[Deborah Peach · Rating 4 out of 5]

Llir Tirana, who is part of the Albanian crime syndicate, rescues Elira from his family's sex slave auction. Elira was abducted off the street and has no family to report her missing. When Llir saw her, he felt compelled to jump onto the stage and claim her for himself. He knows his father will stop at nothing to put an end to her and, as the acting head of the family, Llir knew better than to interfere with the auction. He hides Elira and himself in an apartment that his father knows nothing about. Llir must find a way to save them both.
