Killer. Heartbreaker. Husband…?

Blaine I hurt, break and kill for a living. The Family point, I deliver. But this time, they ask too much. This time, they want me to marry the one woman who knows my secret. She has reason to hate me, I know, but I'll take her, I'll break her, and I'll make her mine. That's the only way I can keep my secret.

Mira When I ran away eight years ago, I thought I’d escaped the underworld I'd always known. I made a life for myself. I thought I was free. Then my past came knocking at my door. Now I’m marrying the son of London’s biggest crime family. A man who hates me as much as I hate him. He’s ruthless, brutal, and dangerous—everything I’ve always feared. He's taken away the life I built, he's taken my freedom. And now, I fear he's taken my sanity, too. How else could I be falling in love with him?

*Dangerous is a full-length mafia romance novel with a guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger!**

How a Mob Romance Should Be Written!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Gritty, violent, and crime-filled is how you expect a mob book to be written and Nora Ash does not disappoint in “Dangerous”. What you don’t expect to find is the layers of relationship between the Steel brothers and the romance that builds between Mira and Blaine. Listening to two people that cannot stand each other only find out their familial past & present bind them in a way only they can understand is heart wrenching and moving. Even better than reading the excellent story Ms. Ash wrote was listening to the magnificent voice of Shane East as Blaine Steel and the new-to-me narrator Rachel Knight.

Mr. East gives a performance that is remarkable in the variation of characters voices and the ferocious main character that is Blaine Steel. His cockney accent and growly voice are pure aural perfection when he’s communicating the passion Blaine feels for Mira. When speaking as the patriarch of the family, East’s speech turns into a combo of Bob Hoskins & Michael Caine (circa Italian Job) letting you know the Father is in charge of this family and is ruthless enough to turn on his own family to stay in control.

Mira is given voice by Rachel Knight and while her cadence and acting emotion are spot on for the characters, there is something different about the production that is just off dragging me away from the performance. Ms. Knight appears to be speaking directly into the microphone while narrating, but steps back when speaking the character dialog. However, the performance given to the various character voices is fantastic and the excellence continues throughout the series. Her conversations with Marcus were so emotional that I couldn’t wait to get more of his character – and I was not disappointed to see he would lead Book 2.

More Nora Ash books are definitely in my future and I need more of this “Dangerous” world of Blaine & Mira.

Good, but short

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

Verified Purchase

Both the plot and writing of this book are very good. However, it needed to be much longer. There was too little said regarding Mira’s relationship with her family, and the way her and Blaine so quickly fell in love. There is real potential for this to be a lot longer, to really delve into the background of both of these characters.

Loved this Mafia Romance - dark and dangerous

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Dangerous was such a surprising read, it was fast paced, flowed well for me and the two main characters had a great personal connection. Whilst reading Dangerous I could feel the emotional pull between these two headstrong people.

Mira was beautiful and very easy to love, her life has been so dramatic and dangerous. The way Blaine wanted to protect her in his own stubborn way was amusing at times and frustrating at others. The Mob story held my interest and was intense and sad at times in particular for Mira in what she endured at the hands of her father and brothers. There are not many sex scenes between the two but when they do it is passionate. The emotional build up is wonderful and relative to the story and helps build their relationship.

Blaine’s brothers provided such interest that upon finishing this book I immediately went and purchased the other two books in this series. Marco is just so dark and intriguing, I cannot wait to meet the woman that breaks down his barriers. The two twins are funny and relentless in their support of their family.

My only complaint was the way this ended, it was too quick and I wanted the conclusion with the story. Thank god you can sign up with the author and you get a bonus chapter which gives you answers. I hope we get to see more of Mira and Blaine in the coming books.

An arranged marriage between mafia families

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

I found the blurb of this book a lot better than the actual book itself. Mira ran away from her abusive and controlling Irish mafia family, changing her name and creating a new life. Her family manage to track her down and force her to marry Blaine, the son of London's crime king pin, in a business arrangement as the later's family owe the former a favour and hope this will bring them up in the underground. Blaine isn't happy about the arrangement either, but not being one to go against his daddy, complies.

While I liked the premise of the book, it was too disjointed for me to fully get into it. Blaine was a bit of jerk. He went and saw Mira as a patient after needing a therapist and his behaviour was pretty ordinary. I think the author wanted him to come across as cocky and alpha, but to me he was just a chauvinistic pig. He basically sexually assaulted her at her practice and then they're all good because he helped her out when a group of undesirables were hassling her. Come again? My question would be why the heck was he hanging around her office that late.

The book repeated the same themes and words throughout. Mira brought up her traitorous ovaries so many times, I suspect the author may have been receiving a commission for it. There were cliche words for arousal used that had me rolling my eyes (think dripping). While the actual premise for the arranged marriage could be believed, the follow through wasn't. They're both adults but are forced into permanency in a matter of weeks without even meeting each other. When Blaine realises that Mira was the therapist he went and saw, he becomes aggressive. It's not really mentioned again and there's little reference to the events that made him seek out counselling, so I'm confused as to why it was even written into the book. Of course, even though Blaine and Mira didn't want to get married, they're instantly attracted to each other and things heat up on their first night together. And even though Blaine is a douche and won't let Mira leave the house or live her life, she's still super attracted to him. Sigh.

There were typos occasionally throughout the book and some aspects of the story just weren't consistent. Blaine is covered in tattoos but we're given no description of them. Oh, and he tortures people in his back shed. I'm no gangster, but isn't it Mafia 101 to not commit crimes where you live? The cops there must be incredibly stupid or lazy. And there was the problems with his father having one of his brothers arrested that was brought up a few times but went absolutely nowhere, just like the contrived therapy session at the beginning of the book. I know it's only a story, but small things like this annoy me as they end up making plot completely over the top, which this book was. Despite all odds, Mira and Blaine start to care for each other. Mira's family cause trouble, causing a bit of action, but that was pretty much it.

The book was okay, but predictable. I'm not rushing out to buy the next one. That being said, the next installment is on one of the brothers, Marcus, that I really liked in the story so for the right price, I'd give it a go.

"Dragged to the sacrificial altar for "The Familiy"."

Reviewed in Germany on May 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

"Dangerous" is a Dark Mafia Romance about a forced marriage between the London Steel Family's son (Blake) and the Belfast Clery Family's daughter (Mira).

Although violence plays a big role here, the story never loses its focus on Blake and Mira's feelings. I liked that Blake and Mira were far from perfect. Emotionally burdened and the (understandable) initial lack of trust made their mutual approach immensely difficult. Luckily, they both felt attracted to each other from the start. - Otherwise it could have ended badly here - at least for Mira.
