Summary
Gabe Marchionni, New Orleans’ most eligible bachelor, has a problem...and it’s wrapped in a pink blanket.
What in the heck is the reluctant new head of a mafia family supposed to do with an infant?
Simple. Go find the woman he dumped years ago and convince her to give him a second chance.
Maggie Guthrie is broke, exhausted, and raising her deceased sister’s kids. She’s also a reporter by day and desperately needs to get the scoop on one of the most illustrious families in the French Quarter, the Marchionnis...even if that means running into her ex.
Unfortunately, wishes do come true.
So when Gabe shows up on her doorstep with a newborn and a proposition she should refuse, Maggie knows better than to let him into her house...and into her life.
Especially when falling for him again might cost her more than her heart.
Absinthe Minded is a humorous second-chance romance filled with new dad fails, serious groveling, and five delicious Italian brothers—who want nothing more than to leave the "family business" behind them. You’ll love this romantic comedy with a smidgen of suspense, because everyone loves a bad boy trying to be a good man.
Each book in the Bourbon Street Bad Boys' series can be listened to separately, though they are best enjoyed when listened to in series order:
- Absinthe Minded
- Highball and Chain
- Single Malt Drama
- Hot Momosa
- Gin and Trouble

Maybe not so regular romcom
It starts as your regular romcom–guy gets stuck with his surprise baby while the baby’s momma goes on a cruise, and he shacks up with the love of his life so she can help him while she raise’s her dead sister’s children. Okay, maybe not so regular. But still.
The situations are quite funny. Especially seeing this bad boy/mobster trying to take care of kids of various ages. Because, yes, the male character is also an unusual one for a romcom. Heir of a Sicilian family that dabs into illegal matters, Gabe is also a rich bachelor, a bar owner, and an overall good guy who wants out and hopes for a second chance with his ex-girlfriend. Maggie is more typical as a damsel in distress–except for the fact that she’s quite strong for a weak woman, and stands her ground.
So, that’s how it starts, but that’s far from how it ends. There are touches of dark right from the beginning–at least from the involvement of the mafia, and the mysterious death of Maggie’s sister and Gabe’s brother–but it becomes darker and darker when secrets are revealed. It’s still pretty light compared to straight up mafia romances.
The romance was cute with a bit of sexy. Gabe is supposed to seduce Maggie because his father asked him to, but he agrees because he still loves her. They have several romantic scenes together that’ll make you swoon.
The audiobook was quite enjoyable. Both narrators did a good job expressing both the light humor and the darker moments. I couldn’t always distinguish the kids’ voices though. That’s okay, at least they HAD kids’ voices.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
