I’ll burn her world to the ground.
Then I'll make her my bride.

Tara Donnelly’s a spitfire in heels and hotter than a flaming shot. As soon as I see her, I know I got to make her mine.

Unfortunately, I killed her father. He deserved it, but that’s hard for Miss Sweetheart to swallow.

Now my Don wants me to marry her as a test of my loyalty. And Tara wants nothing to do with me.

That’s fine. I’ll win her over and give her everything she ever dreamed of on her wedding night.

But my world heats up when her family comes to take her back.

Nobody steals my bride. I’ll fight, and I’ll win.

And Tara will thank me in the end.

Get ready for some dark steamy possessive mafia action!! It’s the start of a new series with a new family, new drama, new excitement, new hotness! Watch Tara and Ewan get caught up in a tornado romance while the city burns around them. As always it’s a standalone with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a happily-ever-after guaranteed. Enjoy! XO BB

5.0 out of 5 stars Ewan and Tara

This enemies to Lovers Mafia story held my interest and I found that I couldn't put it down. Spent reading so I could find out how Ewan and Tara would finally get together if indeed they would. A killer he didn't come across as since he seemed to have a true moral complex, but this book was truly well written and was most enjoyable.

The Killer’s New Wife is the first installment in The Valentino Crime Family series penned by B.B. Hamel. In it, readers meet Ewan and Tara. As a teenager, Ewan, was welcomed into the Valentino family. He became a contract killer for them. He suffers from emotional wounds inflicted on him from his early years with his parents. His mother, had a distant connection to the Healy family. She was prostituted by his father who kept her as a drug addict. She dies from cancer and his life changes forever. Ewan vows never to use women that way. Unbeknownst to Tara, she is devastated when she learns her father was a notorious sex trafficker. She, too, has a distant connection to the Healy family. When Ewan is assigned to eliminate her father, she is placed in his protection. Then his Don orders him to marry her. It is the Don’s intention to use her as a pawn in destroying the Healy crime famil and take over their sex trade business. Can Ewan keep true to his code of conduct? Will he keep Tara safe? Will Tara and Ewan overcome their emotional wounds? Can they find happiness? To discover how their journey unfolds, you must read this book.
Once again, Ms. Hamel does a superb job blending romance and suspense in this book. Ms. Hamel does a remarkable job with literary devices such as dialog, point of view and descriptive language. Her dialog is solid. Their internal dialog gives readers a glimpse into their true struggles. The dual point of view further endears readers to these two. The descriptive language makes the scenes vivid. Together these devices move this plot along and a smooth pace that captivates the readers’ attention. This is a delightful read.

This was a quick read, but I needed more.

Ewan (30s) killed Tara’s (23) father in front of her because he was a trafficker and was doing some shady actions. Tara didn’t know anything about what her dad really did; she always believed he was an accountant, so she was blindsided by all of it.

Ewan’s always been a loyal man. The Don basically adopted him when he lost his mother to cancer many years before; ever since then, he does whatever the Don asks him to do- except kill children or women. In fact, he despises anything and anyone to do with trafficking. He’s all about giving women choice and freedoms.

So when the Don asks him to marry Tara so that her family, the Healys, don’t get to her first, he has a hard time accepting it easily. The Dons giving him up to a month to make it happen- a month to maybe convince Tara to do it on her own free will.

What I liked:
—the fact that Ewan had a moral compass. I felt his pain when he talked about what he’d witnessed and his childhood. Not killing women or children made me 🥰 him in my eyes ❤️

—the few 🔥 moments. Sigh. We get a few tense-filled scenes and ONE, yes, ONE 🔥 scene… but it was a decent one

—getting rid of the bad guys. Although Ewan is a killer (it’s in the title) he only went after bad guys 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sounds good to me 💅👏🏻

—how protective he is of Tara 🥰. Swoooon. Don’t try to get to her, or else your last memory will be that of a toilet 😅😬🫣. Ewan doesn’t hesitate in this respect 👏🏻

—we get a chapter 2 years later. I love that Ewan stuck to his guns and didn’t comprise his morals ❤️

What I wanted more of: SPOILERS
—the title says new wife, but they don’t get married until after 90%! 🤦🏻‍♀️ that’s basically almost the epilogue 🤷🏻‍♀️

—🔥. Sigh 😐. We get ONE 😑. Only ONE 😒 scene. There was at least one FTB scene, so I was hoping we’d get more later in the book. But nope. Just one 😒 and it was an okay scene 😐

—info on their history. We have no idea how dirty Ewan’s d is or how experienced either mc is. They don’t even use protection. I’m not the type of reader who assumes everyone’s clean, so I found myself cringing a bit

—considering Ewan figures out what the Don really wanted from Tara (to find out the info she knew about she dad’s trafficking), I’m surprised he remained civil with him. It goes against his moral compass 🤷🏻‍♀️ make it make sense

—the ending felt anticlimactic to me. Again, it goes back to the previous point. Basically, Ewan leaves that life, which is fine, but I just felt like I was missing info. I needed more

—a proper epilogue. The “epilogue” we get is of a new character named Gian. It’s leading to book 2, but I don’t remember reading about him

Overall, this was a nice read but I wanted more

I’ll admit when I first started the book I almost stopped reading but decided to keep going! And I’m so glad I did the character development in this story is on point! The story has enough plot to it with a sprinkle of smut. I’m definitely reading the rest of this series!

Tara and Ewan bring a wonderful push-pull to the story. Tara hates him until she starts to understand him. Ewan's story weaves its way into your heart and makes you see why he is the man that he is. Their story is heartfelt... I loved how the dust settled.

Great idea, but not in great detail the Hot Steamy Parts. They were lightly mentioned. No great details given. Sad for girls & women and children being trafficked and hero was a stand up guy with Morals.

It has all the ingredients for the perfect dish but still fails to deliver an excellent one. Good plot that refuses to turn into a great story. My biggest issue was zero chemistry between the main characters.
