About this listen

Keir

The governor’s daughter has gotten herself into a mess.
If I protect her, her father will owe me, bigtime.
But the best way to keep her safe is to marry her.
Claim her as one of our own.

The catch? She’s got a boyfriend she’s not ready to part with.
Good thing an unwilling bride isn’t an issue for a guy like me.

Rowan

How is it that years of toeing the line could unravel so damn quickly?

I’ve done my best to make my parents happy in every way.
But when a six-foot tatted Irish gangster showed up at our house, my entire life began to crumble.

Now, I’ve woken with a ring tattooed on my finger, and I’m starting to worry there’s no going back.

*Corrupted Union is the second book in The Byrne Brothers series. Each book in the series features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone with a happily ever after, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended listening order. A dark romance with adult themes, Corrupted Union may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. For a more detailed content warning, you can visit the books tab on my website.

A Note from the Author: Keir is my Tommy Shelby, and I am so utterly in love with him. A savage ruthlessness hides beneath his calm exterior, which is shattered when Rowan comes crashing into his world. They may not see it at first, but these two are perfect for one another!

For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!

Amazing

This is my first book from Jill Ramsower and I really enjoyed it . The chemistry between Keir & Rowan was there from the start and when she needed someone to help her he was her first choice . Greg narrated perfectly as usual and Lidia is new to me and she did an awesome job .

Love those Byrne Brothers!

Thank you Jill Ramsower for keeping me entertained for hours! She is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors, and every time delivers the goods. This book features Keir, whom we met in Silent Vows. Stealthy, quiet, only speaks when important, he is always focused. When he meets Rowan, the governor's daughter, she begins the scrambling of the brain. He can't think of anyone else, and his protective side is immediately engaged. Their meet cute is unusual, and from the very first sight of Keir, Rowan was taken. Not scared or intimidated, she feels the same attraction. Little do they know just how involved they will become. Ramsower takes us on a journey of deceit and evil. She slips in current issues that are prevalent and makes you wonder what really does go on in the house of your friends. Rowan proves how independent and brave she is, sticking to her guns and going after what she believes in. Keir is the ultimate protector, and his presence is enough to give that feeling of being safe. Another fantastic listen, full of twists and turns and spice, grab it now!

Gregory Salinas and Lidia Dornet are our storytellers and they do a fantastic job! I loved both of them, and they dove right in, giving the characters their spot on personalities and keeping the suspense and thrills high. I loved their performance.

As Expected....

...Compared to book 1, book 2 a more substantial story. Began with a bang from the off. Immediately obvious Rowan was troubled by some trauma in her past and was a little flaky in how she dealt with the world. Keir, who turned out to be a sweetheart with a romantic heart hidden beneath gruff and menacing mafia exterior, helped her a lot.

Wish direct interaction between MFC and MMC was a duet rather than woman talking as the male, and vice versa. The ending was perfect !

Empowering

Loved the story. You think life takes you on one path, only to change direction and learn to deal with the past to move forward, which is not always easy.

I am enjoying this series

A fantastic performance from the narrators

A fantastic Irish mafia romance and the second book in the Byrne Brothers series centred around a marriage of convenience……although does it still count as convenience if the bride is drugged into saying I do? Their initial meeting might have been a bit unconventional and Keir and Rowan are complete opposites from different worlds with Keir the older Irish mob boss and Rowan who has devoted her life to being the perfect politicians daughter but Keir is the only person to ever really look at her and see the pain she carries daily. With a gripping storyline involving human trafficking and familial treachery Corrupted Union was a fantastic addition to what is quickly becoming my favourite series from Jill Ramsower.

As I’ve come to expect, Gregory Salinas gave his usual sterling performance as the broody Keir Byrne while Lidia Dornet, a narrator I haven’t listened to before, did a fantastic turn imbuing all the emotions into Rowan. The one thing that did make me cringe in this audiobook was when they tried to do an Irish accent. It was just a bit too what Hollywood thinks the Irish sound like - all shamrocks and leprechauns - and jarred an otherwise excellent performance

I enjoyed it

total escapism and this has everything you need to escape real life, as let's face it that's why we listen to these books. a man who falls hard and fast for you and who understands you intuitively, touch her and you die. call me shallow but I found it thoroughly enjoyable and am heading straight for the next book.

Lacklustre Insta love and a bit weird

You know it's a dud when the names are already fading.. as is the flimsy story.

Well Rowen appears to be a deranged mentally ill person who talks to herself and throws destructive tantrums in which everything around her gets thrown and broken.

When she has another episode after being married, her husband somehow (telepathically) knows it isn't due to being married, but that it's due to something else. This is remarkable considering he's only known her less than week.
