Description

"This story dragged me in and didn't let me go..."

Nolan Burke was never really a criminal.

He’d joined the Syndicate to learn how to be a man. Pissing off his socialite mother was just a bonus, as was hanging around South Boston with Bridget Monaghan and his best friend Will. But that was before Bridget dumped him without explanation. Forced to pick up the pieces, Nolan returned to law school and set about fulfilling the real purpose of someone of his station — making money.

Bridget Monaghan has never been ashamed of her working class upbringing.

She loves everything about Southie, loves living with her parents and brother in their small row house and knowing everyone she passes on the sidewalk. Going to night school to become a lawyer was a way to do something meaningful with her life, a way to make the world a better place. Then her brother was diagnosed with ALS and she was forced to make the most painful decision of her life — accept a secret payoff from Nolan's mother in exchange for ending her relationship with Nolan.

Four years later, the money has run out. Bridget is working as a lawyer for the Irish mob in order to continue covering her brother’s treatments when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a war between the Syndicate and a former I.R.A. operative running South Boston's criminal underground. When the Syndicate asks for Nolan’s help, he and Bridget are drawn into a deadly turf war that will force them to decide if they should save themselves — or risk everything for a second chance at love.

But even as old passions ignite, Bridget's secret threatens to destroy them. Will she have the courage to tell Nolan about the money she took to break his heart? Will she survive long enough to try?

    What a great book to start the new Boston Mafia series! From the first page to the last is a edge of the seat page turner! You can’t help but love Bridget and Nolan . Bridget gave up Nolan for money to help with her brothers medical care and Nolan thought she didn’t love him. Nolan finds out Bridget and his best friend Tim are in the middle of the Irish Mafia and the new syndicate and wants to help protect them. The chemistry between the characters is wonderful. This book is a great read and I can’t wait to read the next installment! Highly recommend!

    Thicker Than Water introduces us to Nolan Burke, who is approached by the Syndicate to help with the takeover of the Boston territory. He reluctantly does so in order to protect his ex-girlfriend, Bridget, the love of his life, and his best friend Will, both of whom work for Seamus O’Brien, the present boss of the territory. In order to do this, Nolan has to rejoin the mob that he left years before to pursue his law career. This first book brings us everything that we have come to expect from Michelle St. James.

    Now the Syndicate has their eyes set on Boston. Seamus O’Brien has been running it, and is given the option of fall in line, or be taken over. Nolan Burke is asked to help take Seamus down. He does in order to help his best friend Will, and ex, whom he still loves, Bridget. Bridget is torn between her love for Nolan, and guilt for leaving him in order to help her sick brother. Another excellent job by Michelle for introducing us to new characters in her Mob world to fall in love with, and giving us more of the men we have already fallen in love with. Can’t wait for the conclusion!
