*Book Review- Glitter and Greed (Brooklyn Brothers Book 4) by Melanie Munton

    

General Fiction (Adult), Romance

We are the Rossetti’s.
The exiled “sixth family” of the New York mafia. We’re the good guys.
People don’t fear us…much. They respect us.
The five of us? We’re the Brooklyn Brothers.
And we protect what’s ours.

Don’t ask me what made this girl different, what made her stand out. I’m not proud of it, but it wasn’t exactly my first ever lap dance. The last thing I expect is for the same woman I’ve been obsessing over for two months to waltz right into my gym.

Catalina “Cat” Vasquez is the most alluring, sensual woman I’ve ever met. She has secrets, and I want all of them. It’s the only way I can protect her. Because it seems I’m not the only one who’s been looking for her.

Just my luck that I would fall for a woman who has connections with the Mexican cartel. Who would have thought her stalker would be the same man who’s about to wage an all-out war on my turf?

I’m a fighter by nature.
I fight for what’s mine.
And I’m not about to lose to someone who wants to steal Cat away from me.
If he thinks his guns will save him from my fists, he came to the wrong city.

This story was gritty, beginning with the Prologue and continued  all the rest of the way through.  It was also a bit darker than I normally  enjoy.  Because of that and all of the detailed sex and language, that also brought my enjoyment down even lower. I began to at times think I was reading a porno. Which is a shame. I ended up skimming past some of that because in other ways the story had depth.  
I also did like both of the M.C.'s and how complex that they were.  They had several things in common besides just their intense lust for each other.  They both found it really hard to be still for any length of time and they also dealt with their emotions by physically purging them.

One of the pluses was when it came to how close Luka's family was.  As a family they also had an unusual agenda when it came to "policing" the evil around them.  
 There's a lot of action, and violence but also a H.E.A. for our couple.
