Jonah Bennett by TijanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC via the author, all opinions are my own.
I really love the 1001 Dark Nights novellas, they give you a glimpse into a series or a world and author has created. In this case we get Jonah Bennett's story. This novella is a standalone, but if you want really understand who Kai is or how the Bennett Mafia operates, give Bennett Mafia a read. I would say you could read this before or after. This also has ties to The Not-Outcast, but you don't need to read that to really understand what is going on in this book. If you want to know more about Cutler Ryder, check that out.
Jonah isn't like his brothers. He isn't part of the family business. He's a doctor, he saves lives instead of taking them, but he's also a Bennett. When a hitman kills his fiancé for no reason other than his name being Jonah Bennett, he wants revenge. When the forensic technician who ran the tests on his beloved happens to end up at the same club as Jonah, his hackles rise and the family goes into mafia mode. Carson, the forensic tech, was basically at the wrong place at the wrong time. The first time when she met the Bennetts she was just doing her job, the second time they thought she was up to no good. She wasn't but someone else was unbeknownst to her.
Jonah and Carson despite their circumstances, were instantly attracted to each other. She is a balm to his broken heart and soul, but he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt because of who he is and who his family is. Jonah quickly comes to realize that he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep Carson safe and he isn't willing to let her go.
I really enjoyed this novella. It had a fast pace and an engaging storyline.
