Diesel's Keepsake: A
Dark Mafia MC Romance by Jill Shannon is the third book in The Celtic
Demons trilogy, a book that reads beautifully as a standalone novel. When Ciara
O'Malley accepts a position at the Horry County coroner's office in South
Carolina, it is in an effort to recreate her life. She wants a fresh start and,
if possible, a new Dom. Romeo 'Diesel' Diaz is a broken man and he has
carefully built solid walls around his heart. That is until the sudden death of
his sister, Isabella. Consumed by grief and pain in his heart, he is surprised
about the feelings that Ciara, the seemingly submissive medical examiner, stirs
in his heart.
When readers meet Ciara O’Malley, she is frustrated at not
being able to find a BDSM dungeon accepting new memberships. This is
how Jill Shannon introduces mature sexual themes. Readers encounter
characters that are, as usual in this trilogy, complex and multi-dimensional,
and Diesel is an epitome of an honestly flawed and broken character. The story
features a great setting with impeccable world-building and the author does a
wonderful job of creating social and intimate relationships that are real. The
sparkling dialogues are cleverly crafted to create drama. The scenes are
focused and the points of view are written with unusual clarity. While the
stakes in this last installment are lower than in the two previous entries,
Shannon invests in characterization and transforms the story into an
emotionally and psychologically rich romance with steamy scenes. The leisurely
pace and character depth make for a swoony, enjoyable read in Diesel's Keepsake: A Dark Mafia MC Romance.
I look forward to discovering more of Jill Shannon’s creations.
