Silent Vows: Special Edition Print

Product Information

Silent Vows is the breathtaking first installment in The Byrne Brothers series. It’s a stand-alone mafia arranged marriage romance, complete with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. A dark romance with adult themes, Silent Vows may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. They complemented the suspense part of the plot. Because in a mafiaverse, besides the blood family, you have the Family–the organization one is a part of. Sometimes, they’re one and the same, but not always. Here we get two different situations with Noemi and Conner, which was interesting. Also, organizations fight for control, and the rivalries and alliances form the core of the suspense. There’s action and violence and it keeps the reader interested. Both Conner and Noemi would emotionally leap during this story. One minute they're just attracted to each other, but then the next, they randomly decide they want every part of them - their mind, body, and soul. I didn't understand where these deep feelings came from. Seems to me it was done to push the romance forward and give the characters a deeper connection than they really had. At one point, Conner even thinks, "How had I gone from begrudgingly agreeing to marry a woman to obsessing over her thoughts and feelings?". I'm here wondering the exact same thing! Her father spends the next 6 months threatening her to keep her mouth shut or he would harm her and her younger brother. Who btw was absolutely clueless the entire book and was blinded by his idolization of his father. I felt like Noemi coddled him even though he was 17! He was not a child but acted like one a lot of the times and just in the end started growing more aware of the truth but didn't really buy it until it hit him in the face.

Noemi has been purposefully silent since the death of her mother 6 months ago. She is threatened daily by her father and she fears for the life of her young brother who is fully under her father's spell. She has no dreams or hopes for a pleasant future and just tries to stay out of her father's way. When the mandate to marry an Irish rival comes about, she fears like she will go from one prison to another. No hay nada mejor que un libro de mafia con un matrimonio arreglado es de mis combinaciones favoritas. For some reason, waitresses LOVE to touch Conner, and Noemi gets extremely jealous. I have never personally been touched or seen anyone touched by the wait staff at a restaurant. But this happens every time they go out. This is an unbelievable situation that is only there to further the romantic plot. To say I was excited to dive again into the author’s mafiaverse is an understatement. Each of her books in the Five families series was a hit for me, and to get the story of the Irish half brother was thrilling. I wasn’t disappointed at all.El matrimonio se da entre dos personas de diferentes organizaciones la Italiana y la Irlandesa, me pareció interesante porque nunca había leído está combinación. One of the reason i give four stars because of the epilogue was only three weeks later😳 I need more author lol. But hopefully in the future books of the series I will see their future! HOT SMUT SCENES 🥵🥵🥵🥵 The hero really loves to worship the heroine’s body and always steals her panties 🤣🤣🤣 Conner es sobrino de uno de los jefes de la mafia irlandesa y ellos quieren recuperar el control y el poder que tenían en el hell´s kitchen por lo que él es el candidato para el matrimonio y elige a Noemí por su discapacidad ya que lo ve como una ventaja una chica silenciosa que lo va a dejar hacer su vida pero las cosas no resultan como él las planeó. HEROINE is very immature sometimes because of her age and also her father is so protective of her so she doesn’t get out much. I mean literally her father treats her like a prisoner in their own house. So I understand and don’t get too bother with her immature thoughts and words. Also be patient with her thoughts okay cause sometimes her thoughts be so overthinking🤣 But despite all of that, the heroine is a very nice woman and friendly to nice people. She got a good heart. She’s not too sassy but sassy enough to defend herself. I prefer a sassy heroine though🤣

Conner and Noemi's reasoning was hardly ever sound. Whether it was their reason for falling in love or justifying some of their actions, the logic didn't quite add up. With an entertaining plot, two compelling characters, a steamy romance, and some well written sentences, definitely a book to read. I can’t wait for more. With Jill’s books, you can count on confident heroines, plenty of steamy tension, and deliciously assertive leading men. There are no guarantees in life, but with her books, you know everything will work out in the end. However, a perfect ending would not be nearly as satisfying without a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Jill loves to add plenty of adversity in her stories, creating unforgettably dynamic characters and sneaky plot twists you will never see com Jill is a Texan, born and raised. She manages the hectic social calendars for her three active children and occasionally spends an evening with her dashing husband. Aside from being an author and a mom, she's a travel junkie and loves to read when she is not lost in her own stories. As for the love story, though there were some cliché–the instant protectiveness Conner feels for Noemi, the slight dominance, the love that comes from nowhere–it was entertaining to read. Noemi and Conner are fire and ice, equally hot but hardly compatible. At least at first. They’re both an enigma for the other, showing qualities that contradict their expectations. They have nice tense moments, some more intimate and tender scenes, and of course the scorching sexy. THE HERO ALWAYS SAY TO THE HEROINE AND TO HIMSELF AND TO MANY PEOPLE THAT THE HEROINE IS HIS WIFE AND MINE. MINE.

It’s also the theme of the book. Both characters have lost family members; they also have siblings–or not–and close cousins they consider as siblings; terrible family secrets threaten to break those tight bonds. There’s love and jealousy, hate and fear, feelings of inadequacy and otherness. I thought all those relationships were nicely done. This 1st book was a good start to this series. So I do have plans to return for book 2, Keir, Conner's cousin. Was very intrigued with his intro here.. Hopefully his story will be a bona-fide 5 🌟 read for me?🤞 The hero even asked the heroine how many boyfriend she had and what parts of her body that the boyfriends touch🤣 MANY UNNECESSARY CHILDISH DRAMA. MOST OF THE DRAMA IS ABOUT THE FAMILY, MAFIA, ENEMIES, AND THEMSELVES.
