– USA Today Bestselling Author, Faith Summers

Totally Booked UK Review: Brody O’Connor was making his way across the pond to Belfast from New York with his brothers, however, his family plane developed a fault and they were diverted to London. After grumbling about how cheap his Da is and won’t upgrade their outdated private plane he pays a visit to one of his father’s trusted men, Ronan, to see why things have taken a down turn in London.

Losing the racetrack was a blow for them and he needs to work on getting in back from the O’Leary clan. Although finding out that Alaina O’Leary is the one running things in London surprises him but nothing like the shock when he first sees photos of the beauty.

Alaina O’Leary is forever fixing issues that her brothers create, messing up the simplest of tasks she proved her worth time and time again to her Da. Attempting to ensure that she has the racetrack running smoothly so that she can return back to Ireland. Things are still not settled so she is stuck in London for the time being but at least she is away from Tommy her Da’s underboss and the man whom her father keeps threatening to arrange a marriage to her – at thirty-five she is considered past her prime but her loyalty is to the clan not about getting married.

Meeting Brody by accident Alaina agrees to a date with him even though she knows that her life is complicated, especially when dating outside of the clan. Brody hiding his true name and using Kelly as his surname whilst he gains her trust and info on not only the racetrack but family business too. Despite the obstacles in their way when they are together it is as if there is nobody else in the world.

Reality hits as her Da marries her younger sister to Tommy and her brothers set her up to fail at the fight club. But as Brody’s identity is revealed can Alaina trust that he is still true to her or is his just loyal to his family?

He kidnapped me for vengeance against my husband.
The husband I’ve never loved.
The cruel man my father forced me to marry to teach me a lesson.
My husband didn’t think twice about how to carry out those lessons.
Now, I’ve gone from one prison to another.

My captor is just as ruthless as my husband. He’ll kill, torture, and do everything to hurt my family until no one is left.
Except for me.
Aidan’s made it clear he’s keeping me as his trophy.
And the more I understand his twisted thoughts, and crave his heated gaze, the deeper I drown in our world.

It’s where everything that shouldn’t happen does—the place that defies all laws and rules—the one where guilt reigns and you still can’t help but want what you shouldn’t.

Keeping her in a remote cottage whilst he formulates a plan of what to do with Tommy, he goes against his Clan leader brother and Scarlet’s sister too

Running away from home, Scarlet O’Leary never though that she’d be found, recovered and forced to marry within the space of a day. She has been hidden away, starved and abused by her much older husband and is shocked when someone comes to rescue her. Unsure what to make of her new reality in a remote cottage with Aidan. Seeing sunlight for the first time in a long time and realising just how skinny she has become. Spending time with Aidan confuses her as she finds herself attracted to him but she is a married woman – whether she agreed to the marriage or not.

Drawn together they each provide a sense of calm and comfort in each other’s lives. But as reality calls and they need to relocate due to danger Aidan is putting things on the line, not listening to orders. Scarlet still coming to terms that he is an O’Connor, her sister is married to his brother and her Da is dead. Forced back to Belfast she stands up for Aidan against her sister and his family as she realises her love for him.

With Tommy still out there their love is still tainted by him, Aidan doing all he can to find him and finally release her from the arrange marriage. Trials and tribulations come their way – will they be able to get their happily ever after?

We were several shots of whiskey and two pints of Guinness in when Devin suggested we play his game.
That hour turned into the next morning.
Then all hell broke loose.

I ransacked his wallet to find his identification card.
Our bliss disappeared into anger, hate, and accusations.

He left me with a forever reminder of that night—the mix of two enemy bloods.
And now no one can ever know…including him.

At the mercy of a tyrant who leers at me with green heated eyes until I beg him for things I shouldn’t.

Every day, I promise myself I’ll grow stronger and resist the urge to appease him.
It’s a losing battle I can’t win.
All I want is to love him, but I tell myself not to be foolish.
After all, a monster will never love.
He’ll only go deeper into his sinister ways.
