Distance: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beneath The Mask Series) Paperback – 22 Feb. 2023

First book from this author ( don't know why) and it was a great read.The characters were cracking together and the storyline gives the reader love, pain, sadness, battered childhoods, more love, sexy bits and friendship. Altogether a smashing combination.The author is such a good writer as I found no waste of time paragraphs or rubbish bits to eek out the text.I'm hooked, off to read more of Luna Mason books to read.Enjoy

So this is this author’s debut I believe and I really look forward to what’s to come next.- Sports Romance - boxing- Mafia- Dual POVs- Dark themes- Spice- Insta-lust/love with a wee bit of a slow burn vibeOur two leads are Keller and Sienna. Neither of them are looking for a relationship, Sienna having just gotten out of one and Keller with too much going on. But one night she literally falls into his lap and he can’t seem to let go.Keller - My holy hotness 🥵 this man is demanding, dangerous, protective, possessive and dirty! Do I really need to say more than that? Nope, but I will.He is a pro boxer and part time mafia hitman for his brother. He is the monster his brother sets loose when all else fails, which is something Keller never does. He had a hard childhood and got in with the wrong crowd until he meets his ‘brother’ and they get taken in by a lovely older woman.He doesn’t have time or an interest for a relationship but from the moment Sienna falls into his lap he can’t get her off his mind. Her light shines on his darkness, he knows he doesn’t deserve it but damn it he wants more and want he wants he’s going to get.Sienna - I freakin’ love this woman and her personality! She is sassy, confident, kind, beautiful inside and out.. oh and she gives Keller as good as he gives. She too hasn’t had the best childhood and now she wants to help other children in similar situations to herself and Keller.Her ex cheated on her, she was hurt but quickly realised it wasn’t love. Her best friend convinced her to go out for her pre birthday and she is so embarrassed when she falls on Keller but even she can’t deny the attraction.Their attraction is undeniable, they may be hesitant but neither of them can stay away either, especially when fate keeps throwing them together.They are twin flames if I ever did see them!! He may be darkness but she has enough light to shine for them both and he has enough stubbornness to make sure it sticks.Throw in a stalking exSecretsDangerous situationsAnd you got yourself a pretty damn awesome read.One thing happened where I personally thought because of Keller’s demanding and protective personality should have been done differently. I thought he would have held tighter not let go…Highly recommend and look forward to the next in this series

I’ve had this book on my kindles TBR list for months. I’m kicking myself that I haven’t read it sooner. But I’m equally gutted that it’s over.This is the perfect mix of action, angst, spice and fun. I devoured it in 5 hours.Keller is the ideal morally grey, protective alpha male MMC. He falls first for FMC Sienna who is dealing with a number of abandonment issues as well as a stalking cheating ex. She doesn’t get a knight in shining armour, she gets a dark knight who’s willing to burn the city to the ground to protect her.

I read this book in a week, I really enjoyed the plot but it was a bit repetitive. The sex scenes were described the same way, a bit too much for sex but it was still a very good read!

I think I have fallen in love with Mr Keller. I love this story and have no doubt that it will be added to my rereads this year

between 3.8-4 starsspice level was top notch, plot was good, setting up for a lovely easy read series. and who doesn’t love a big bulky boxer with an 11 inch willymust say i wasn’t a fan of how much the word ‘assault’ was used in this book, from a verbal assault to a punching assault to a nose assault. seems to be this writers favourite word!also i found the plot towards the end was a bit all over the place with keller and i didn’t really understand why he kept pulling away in attempt to win her back? bit strangealso it’s marketed as a dark mafia romance but the mafia content is minimal :/i feel like a few extra twists and turns would have really made this book 4.5-5 stars as the writing in parts was amazing!fun little read, excited for the next one but i don’t think it’ll be at the top of my reading list

The authors note was enough to hook me in. I love Lunas books. This was great. A great mix of everything! First paragraph the Salvatore brothers are mentioned, need I say more!

Great characters, excellent plot, intrigued, suspense, hot guys, a rollercoaster of emotions, it was fantastic a definite must read, I highly recommend it 😀
