From USA Today Bestselling Author KL Donn comes the Mafia Made series, featuring novels from Award-Winning Author E.M. Shue. His Protection is book 7 in the Mafia Made Series.
Maso Cardarelli is the oldest brother.
The protector.
He makes the hard choices and the biggest sacrifices.
When the opportunity to give his new sister-in-law closure presents itself, he doesn’t hesitate to step up to the job.
What he didn’t expect was to fall in love with the girl he was sent to rescue.
She doesn’t speak with words, but her eyes…
They say everything.
And she stares at him with stars in the deep pools of blue.
After swearing off women years ago, Maso is torn between being her hero and breaking her heart.
Bria Marino is not prepared to fall in love with her dark protector.
He swears he’s not the one for her.
But with his touch…she feels coveted.
Men lie, betray, and break women like her.
But she’s ready to put everything on the line if only Maso will too.
After breaking down her walls and opening her heart to love, will Maso be just like every other man in Bria’s life, or will he put her back together piece by fractured piece?
Author Note: While His Protection is set in a Mafia world, it’s on the light side, and focuses more on the relationship between Maso and Bria and the emotional turmoil she goes through.
Trigger warning: There is mention of, and flashbacks of, Bria’s past physical and sexual abuse.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Maso Cardarelli as the oldest brother takes his job as protector very seriously. He sacrifices so much and makes really hard decisions when they need to be made. However he has found the opportunity to give his sister in law closure he steps up for the job right away. What he never saw coming was the girl he was sent to rescue. She might not be able to speak in words but her eyes say everything. Bri Marino wasn’t prepared for Maso either. He is her dark protector and she is falling for him. He might say he isn’t the one for her but she knows he is wrong about that. However that also gives him the power after breaking down her walls and making her see and feels things she never thought possible, will he break her heart or be like every other man she has always known? But he could also be the one to put her back together again. But will he?
You have to read to find all that out. I loved reading this book. I feels so hard for Maso and Bri. They have a story to tell that will run the emotional roller coaster you didn’t know that you were getting on.

“Maso,” her sweet voice carries across the early morning breeze as she emerges from our hut on the beach. “It’s time,” she whispers, tears streaking down her face as I approach.
