Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really don’t get on well with stories that have unbelievable relationships, or relationship development that feels too quick or forced. As such, I found this story a little bit difficult to get into and as it isn’t my sort of thing, I felt like it was lost on me. It is well written though, even if I don’t like the story being told I can appreciate the talent of the person who is telling it and Johns and Jesus write very well, their combined styles seamless.
Braelynn Shaw is a hotshot lawyer who is awesome at her job, but she has a bit of secret that she can’t tell anyone, as this may affect her career path, and is close to being made partner she does not want to jeopardize it. Seth Giordano is her dirty little secret, both her boyfriend and the youngest son of the Sindicato, a nice harmless group of mob families. When Braelynn crosses an ethical and moral line Seth steps in to help her, meaning that their closely kept secret has to be brought out into the open, which spells a problem as the mob families, surprise surprise, aren’t the most accepting. Who’d have thunk it ay? What’s that old adage though, the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Well, when a common enemy rear their ugly head then the families seem to forget years of tradition and begrudgingly accept their relationship and the strong-willed Braelynn.
I don’t really know much about mob families, but I found their quick acceptance of the relationship a little hard to swallow, just felt too quick especially considering the emphasis on years of tradition and whatnot. As I said before this is not my type of tale and as such, I found it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story and in the plight of the characters. Still Johns and Jesus (sounds almost biblical) are competent writers and obviously work very well together. Would recommend this to anyone that loves a good dose of angst with their romance.
