Guns ‘n’ Boys Series
by
K.A. Merikan
‘Guns n’ Boys’ is a twisted, dark erotic romance mixed with a crime thriller. It’s a long, turbulent journey of one couple deeply entrenched in the dealings of their mafia family. Behind the morbid humor and extreme violence hides the intense love affair of Domenico Acerbi, the mafia’s best hitman, and Seth Villani, the Don’s son.
Together, they have to deal with their blooming affection for each other, their family’s homophobia, their own prejudice, lust, jealousy, and violence. In true anti-hero fashion, they do so in most morally ambiguous ways.

Bloodbath
(Guns N’ Boys 06)
by
K.A. Merikan
“I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
“All you need to know is that you’re mine.”
Seth would follow Domenico to the depths of hell. He promised to always be at Domenico’s side. But hell becomes all too real when they infiltrate the world of Toro – a notoriously security-obsessed arms dealer, who has eyes and ears everywhere.
Seth becomes unable to steal even a moment of intimacy with Domenico, and the tension grinds them down each day. Beyond the deceptive paradise of Toro’s villa, violence is an everyday occurrence, and the swimming pool could just as well be filled with blood. To survive, Seth has to become the man Domenico needs him to be, but in the process, he might lose who he truly is.
With Seth trained up, and Mark as backup, victory is so close Domenico can taste it. They just need to prove themselves to Toro as valuable assets. With each day though, Seth seems to be drifting away from Domenico, hidden behind a mask of cruelty and indifference. It is exactly what Domenico asked of him, so why is it so difficult to see Seth become his mirror image?

The ugliest truths blossom into the prettiest lies.
A year into the relationship with Domenico, Seth still wants him as desperately as ever. Nothing is better than being intoxicated with lust for his deadly man and feeling his steady hands all over.
No matter the misunderstandings, the fights… The crash. The burn.
Crossing the Mexican border has been a goal for Seth and Domenico for a few months, but the trip couldn’t have ended in more of a disaster. While Domenico is stuck at home, for Seth each passing day becomes more difficult. Desperate to keep his family afloat, he accepts a job offer from Los Sepultureros. The Gravediggers.
When Domenico’s need for control starts eroding their trust, Seth is sure their love can conquer all. But when Domenico rips open the wound left after the violence at the beginning of their relationship, it gushes blood all over their cozy lies and this time, there may be no way to seal it.

Title: Swamp Blood Series: Guns n’ Boys # 3 Author: K.A. Merikan Genre: Dark, twisted erotic romance / crime thriller Length: Novel (387 pages) Publisher: Acerbi & Villani ltd. (September 3, 2015) Heat Level: Moderate Heart Rating: ♥♥♥3Hearts Blurb: — Faking their own death was the easy part. —
After months of recovering from his injuries, Seth struggles with who he has become. Afloat in a reality he never planned, he tries to find the lost pieces of himself again. Find the purpose, motivation, and strength to get back into shape. He is sick and tired of being a burden for Domenico, who seems to have it all together.
When Domenico’s jealousy pushes them into the spotlight of a biker gang with connections to their former mafia family, Seth decides to step up, and make his own decisions, no matter what risks they might entail.
Domenico Acerbi can’t trust anyone. Nightmares of Seth’s torture are still haunting his dreams, and if he and Seth are to leave the country quietly and disappear off the mafia’s radar, he needs to stay in charge and keep everyone under control. What he doesn’t need is Seth giving him attitude, keeping secrets, and distancing himself for no reason. And as if Domenico didn’t have enough on his plate already, Seth forces him to help some hooker.
Being stuck in the swamp with a kid hunted by a bunch of bikers is not Domenico’s idea of lying low.
WARNING: Adult content. If you are easily offended, this book is not for you.
‘Guns n’ Boys’ is a gritty story of extreme violence, offensive language, abuse, and morally ambiguous protagonists. Behind the morbid facade, there is a splash of inappropriate dark humor, and a love story that will crawl under your skin.
Review: This is the third book in the Guns n’ Boys series. Seth is recovering from his ordeal he went through in the last book. Dominique is still a badass with violent tendencies when the need arises. There is violence in this book so if you’re not interested in that I would advise you not to read this book.
There are some hot sex scenes throughout and I’m sure readers would love them but I still have mixed emotions about this series considering the main characters are related. I liked everything in this book except the intimacy between Seth and Dominique so I skipped those parts after reading the first scene.
All in all it was an o.k. read.

The Family is always right.
The Family doesn’t forget.
The Family pays for blood in blood.
Domenico Acerbi grew up in the shade of Sicilian lemon trees ready to give his life for the Family. Ready to follow orders and exceed expectations. A proud man of honor.
When Seth, the younger son of the Don is kidnapped, it’s Domenico who is sent to get him back. The man he finds though, is not the boy he knew all those years ago. Lazy, annoying, spoiled, and as hot as a Sicilian summer.
Seth Villani wants nothing to do with the mafia.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t get a say when the Family pulls him right back into its fold after his mother’s death. Thrown into a den of serpents otherwise known as the Villani Family, Seth has to find a way to navigate in the maze of lies. But when Domenico Acerbi, the most vicious snake of them all, sinks his fangs into Seth, the venom changes into an aphrodisiac that courses through Seth’s veins.
Domenico knows his life is about to change when he gets the order to train Seth up to the role of future Don. Seth isn’t made for it. He isn’t even made. But a man Domenico knows he would never have to fear might just be someone he’s always needed.
If Seth is doomed to follow in his father’s footsteps, he might as well enjoy himself—with the most intoxicating man, he’s ever met. Maybe he can even fool himself into believing that Domenico isn’t a handsome sociopath who kills for a living.

Review: I was excited to read this book after reading the blurb. Very well written, action packed in some scenes, and intense. After being kidnapped by the Chinese and tortured, Seth is traded for another man and taken home. While there, he learns that, he is to become the next Don.
After tailing Vera one time it seemed that page after page was nothing but Domenico trying teach Seth about being a don. I didn’t see it myself as I didn’t understand how raping(If someone says no and the other person keeps going that’s rape and there were rape scenes several times in this book) him several times, degrading him, continuously putting him down, mocking him and hitting Seth.
From what I could tell, Domenico was jealous of Seth as he felt he would’ve made a better don and it mentions that in the book and he abused the trust that was given to him to hurt Seth because of that. Domenico and Seth are actually half-brothers.
While this story was good, I had problems with some of the so-called intimate scenes. But the rest of the story is quite good. Full of action, drama, mystery, and intense fight scenes. I can’t wait to read what else happens in the next book considering Seth is ordered to marry a woman so that should be interesting to see if he follows through or if something else happens.
Good read.
