The finale to The Irishmen Duet

If you enjoy mafia romance with action, emotion, and a protective hero, Niall is a great pick. This is the intense and heartfelt finale to The Irishmen Duet, following Niall Black, the loyal right-hand to Finn, as he meets Anna and everything in his life begins to shift.

Their connection forms in the middle of chaos but quickly becomes something deeper. Niall is rough around the edges but deeply caring, and Anna’s quiet strength makes her a perfect match for him. I loved how their bond developed with trust, comfort, and emotional growth. Finn’s playful teasing was a fun touch, and Roman's presence added just the right amount of tension.

The suspense keeps the story moving, while the romance gives it warmth and depth. Anna’s friendship with Una was beautiful and added so much heart. The story closes with a sweet and satisfying ending that fans of the duet will love.
Highly recommend reading both books in order to fully enjoy the journey

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

My Niall is here!!!

Niall! My Niall is here!!! I was smitten and in love with him from his first appearance in Finn’s book. And I wasn’t wrong—the man is pure perfection. I love him, oh yes, and he is mine. Melanie knows it. I love how he takes care of Anna. I love how he does everything and anything for her, how he is the sweetest with her and ruthless and grumpy with everyone else. I definitely love him—his possessiveness, protective nature, leadership, love for his mom, and his bond with Finn… again, perfect! His relationship with Finn is pretty amazing; the connection they have it’s like real brothers. The audiobook? Of course I loved it! I’m a John Lane fan forever, and adding that Scottish accent… gosh, it was swoon-worthy. Maxine, as always, did an excellent job. I loved her Scottish accent too. And we can’t forget—I still love Aldo, Roman, and Luca. They are amazing. But I have an important question… can I have Sully’s story too???

Steamy, emotional and action packed

I was so excited to start this book and it was a fantastic conclusion to this duet. “Niall” is a steamy, emotional, and action packed romantic suspense that I finished in one sitting because I could not stop listening.

After rescuing Una with Finn in the first book, Niall had rescued Anna Lewis in the process from the horrible kidnapping that they had been a part of. From the moment he rescues her, he is protective of her and he’s the only one that she trusts. As she heals under his care and protection, feelings start to develop between both of them. But Niall doesn't believe he’s made out to be in any sort of relationship because of his side activities. Anna knows that they can make it work and when the evil they thought they got rid of comes back for her, Niall will burn the world down to get her back.

I loved “Finn” and I was so excited to start this audiobook. I was hooked from the first chapter and I couldn’t stop listening. Niall is kind, protective and will do anything for Anna from the moment he rescued her. He was instantly her safe space from all the horrible things she witnessed and went through. Anna is kind, caring and a survivor. She went through something horrible but came out on the other side strong. I loved her from the beginning and it grew as she found herself again. The connection they had from the beginning was strong and only got stronger as they spent time together. I loved how fast Niall fell for Annab and wanted to provide her with everything she could dream of. Their steamy scenes were great and showed how connected they were. The action of the story was captivating and balanced out their story perfectly. The ending was great and I enjoyed this duet so much.

John Lane and Maxine Mitchell were fantastic as Niall and Anna. John’s Irish accent was fantastic and he brought the protective and caring Niall alive perfectly. Maxine was perfect as Anna. Her narration was sweet and vulnerable just like Anna.

Incredible story...brilliant narration!!

Oh, Niall...you stole my heart in your story, just like Finn did in his. Everything about Niall and Anna together worked so well, and I was hooked from the start. It was packed full of suspense and spice, but also family and love. There were also a few surprises that had me gasping, as I had an inkling that something wasn't quite right, but the twist hit perfectly.

I once again had the pleasure of listening to the brilliance of John Lane and Maxine Mitchell as they narrated this brilliant story, and I loved every minute that I got to spend with their voices in my ears. They understood the characters and the story so well, and all the little nuances in their voices as they brought this story to life just made the story even better.

Melanie Moreland is definitely a force to be reckoned with when she's in her Mafia era...and I truly hope this isn't the last we'll be in this world as these are hands down some of my favorite stories from her.

Bravo for the author👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is the kind of mafia/dark romance books my heart can handle. Yes, there’s some dark, ugly things in the story but no one’s being tortured or humiliated. The story has over protective men who will do anything for the women they love especially after the women were kidnapped by some bad men. The story has enough action to keep my heart rate elevated and me cheering on the good guys and fall madly in love with them especially the hero of the book, Niall. The narrators were perfect as always, Maxine Mitchell and John Land are one of my favorite narrators, they make the story feel all so real. All around 5 stars for the story, the plot and delivery of the story.

The Irishmen are now my favorites

I have been a longtime reader of Melanie Moreland and love all her books. With each of her books, I think they are my favorites. With Niall, just like with Finn before, I am reside to the reality that each book will be my favorite.

Niall is definitely my favorite of the two Irishmen novels, which is saying a lot. Listen to John Lane in the scenes when both Irishmen were speaking was just pure genius! I never got confused as to whose voice I was listening to. Both speaking either their Irish accents, but both distinctive! What a talent! John and Maxine made this experience a greater than I could imagine!

Do I have to go to CA or IE to find a Niall??

Niall Niall Niall, what the heck CAN’T I say about Niall. He is Finns right hand man when it comes to the syndicate, and they are as close as brothers. But Niall couldn’t be more different than Finn. Now, you can enjoy this book as a standalone, however it is best read as the full duet with Finn, if you have not read his story yet, proceed with spoiler cautions. While Finn was doing everything and anything he can to prove to Una he can be trusted with her heart, Niall was doing anything and everything he could to push Anna away. From the moment they met in the raid to save Una from her kidnapper, there was an instant connection. Anna wanted Niall around all the time, she felt protected and safe around him. After first she only wanted to be around him or Una all the time, but she slowly started to gain her confidence back and started branching out doing things on her own. While Niall tried to keep her at arms length, she did everything she could to show him he deserved love and that she knows her own mind and her own heart.

OOOOOO BOY!! I thought I loved Finn and then Niall came around and said “hold me ale”. Something about that alpha protector who wants nothing but to keep you safe, but also feels you need to be kept safe from him is so alluring. And the BANTER Between not only Anna and Niall, but also Finn and Niall. The crap Finn gave him about denying his feelings had me with tears in my eyes from laughing. I love when Melanie Moreland gets into her morally gray side because it’s the perfect mix of Spicy, Dark and a pinch of humor in there. I have already devoured this story a few times. And the trifecta of awesomeness is made whole with the outstanding narration by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane. The way John can narrate a conversation between Niall, Finn and Roman (Men of the Falls book 2), all of whom have different accents, so seamlessly is sheer perfection. What can I say about Maxine that has not been said before?? She can bring these characters to life like no other. I can’t give too much away without a major spoiler, but all I am going to say is I hope she reads more psychotic characters in the future because she’s so good at them and gives me CHILLS!!! Anna was such a deep and strong character and there is no one that could have voiced her better, Maxine was perfect.

I would recommend this book in general, but especially if you like morally gray heroes, strong and fierce FMCs, some yummy Spice, and excellent character banter.

Loved it

I could not wait to dive into Niall Black and Annabelle Lewis’s story. It was everything I was expecting and more. Having met both in Finn’s book I was excited to see what Ms. Moreland had in story for Niall and Anna.

This book picks up where Finn’s left off so if you haven’t read Finn, then STOP as these two books need to be read in order.

After rescuing Anna and Una, Anna connected with Niall as she sees in him the n man who saved her. For Niall there is something about Anna that calls to him despite the fact that he doesn’t do relationships.

Anna needs Niall emotionally and physically and he does whatever he needs to do to give her a sense of safety and security.

However fate had other plans for Anna and once again she is put in harms way. It will be up to Niall do everything he can to save her once and for all.

The narration by by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane was brilliant. Their voices are easy to listen to and they did justice to the characters and the story that Ms. Moreland wove. They brought out the passion, danger and emotions that Niall and Anna both went through and I was riveted to their performances.

I don’t normally gravitate to stories where characters are morally grey, but this author’s writing is so compelling that I knew I had to read this duet.

A perfect ending

Having to wait for the conclusion was hard and I am not very pleased with how this ended. I loved how protective Niall was. Anna provided hope for someone who felt undeserving. Loved it.

oh the Irish

these protective men you got to love them especially when they come with an Irish accent. Nile was just as protective as Finn was in the first book this is the second book of the Irishman and it did not disappoint you have some drama of course and you have her working through her fears and you have very protective men and you have very loving couple it was a really good story entertaining I enjoyed it
