An exciting introduction to the Irish mob in USA Today bestselling author Lucy Monroe's Syndicate Rules series.

Anna
The world is too loud, too bright, too everything. Until I meet him. His touch sends me to a place I've never been. I want more of him, bloodstained hands and all. What happens when the one person I need is the utterly ruthless boss of the Irish mob?

Cian
Some call me a psychopath. I don't feel. Until I meet her. I need to know she is safe. Every minute of every day. I hire her to work for my legitimate business. I watch her. I crave her. I will never let her go. But I am a monster. What happens when the one person who makes me feel is pure, sweet innocence?

For readers who love forced proximity and their mafia romance with delicious morally grey heroes with a penchant for stalking.

This is a stand alone steamy mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers. No cheating for either of the main characters.

CW: explicit intimacy, graphic violence, implied assault of secondary character, death of parents, foul language, stalking behavior.

Editorial Reviews

Review

DEMANDING MOB BOSS is a beautifully written read for and about those who live outside the accepted box. - Fresh Fiction Reviews

Demanding Mob Boss has all the best elements of a great organized crime romance; it's sexy, scary, mysterious and very suspenseful. 5 Stars - Amazon Review

More from this review: This is a gorgeous love story with a character's neurodiversity written not as a novelty but as a matter-of-fact part of who she is, and beautiful, subtle characteristics that the hero comes to love and that resonate with his own understanding of the world and human emotion.

I will be immediately going straight toward this authors back catalog and I recommend that anyone reading this should do the same- right after reading this book first. 5 Stars - Amazon Review

I couldn't put it down. Very beautiful and touching. Great ending. 5 Stars - Amazon Review

Part of the Syndicate Rules series each can be read as a standalone with an overprotective boss the women who captures his attention he will do what it takes to keep her so so hang on and double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha's personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D's (dark, delicious, and dirty) . 5 Stars - Amazon Review

This story has you hooked from the start! Engaging depth of character, Anna's portrayal is the perfect mix, and Cians dark depth know no bounds. 5 Stars - goodreads

Demanding Mob Boss is a well written tale that makes sense of topics that shouldn't make sense. I highly recommend this book and this series. Looking forward for the next one in the series. 5 Stars - goodreads

    Although I skipped a lot of the bedroom stuff, I was more interested in the story line. Anna has a touch sensitive problem, it's a rare disease I do believe. The story was interesting, full of the Mafia type books you love guns, revenge & love. The one thing I didn't like was making Anna sound like a child throughout the story. Yes I know she had problems that had to be explained, but in no way was she a child. A grown woman who found love & her person in Cian her boss, husband, safety, protector. Definitely educating about Anna. I gave a 3 only because I wasn't fond of her sounding like a child. She was better than that. Read my peeps, you'll enjoy this story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So different, and I loved it- not your typical mafia trope
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    The author starts with a statement about how autism is as diverse as those that have it, that there is no one right way to be autistic. The way she wrote the FMC had me engrossed in the story from the beginning because you can tell these are real situations people struggle with. The story is interesting and feels real, not a comedy of errors to entertain but the struggle of a person to live in our society (the spice is nice too!). She also briefly mentions how the family (her parents) and friends can struggle to understand but accept the person, and those that refuse to acknowledge the struggles and think the person is attention seeking (FMC extended family). And the awesome thing is these are small parts of the story that help you understand the FMCs struggles while growing, and I haven't touched on the crazy that is the MMC! I have listened to the audio book at least 3x by now and see myself gravitating to it regularly. Highly recommend!!

    It started good but the whole plot about the mafia takes more pages than the love story itself. So I had to skeep several pages to get to the dialogues and encounters between the Heroe and Heroine.
    Anna seems coherent but the author relies too much making her look lost in her world and instead of allowing the reader to perceive her as vein around the autistic spectrum and all her conditions, she missed so points making her look dumb. Terrible.
    Cian es a good heroe, but I couldn’t get sympathy for him at all.
    Monroe’s book are nice, but she says Cora Riley, Geissinger and other mafia-styled/gray-moral-hero authors, are her inspiration; she tried to capture the essence of those author’s writing, she just can’t. Monroe’s style lacks a catching edge I wish I find because she tries to do a good job. At some point maybe her voice is just not made for this kind of books.

    Anna has autism and things work differently for her she doesn’t like a lot of noise; crowds and she’s hoping that this job interview will finally put her somewhere that she can cope. At the interview foyer she’s struggling everything is too much, until a man walks in the room, and everything is quieter.
    Cain knows he can’t love, he can’t feel, when he sees the woman in the interview room something about her gives him the smallest feeling. They always leave he’s too much for women too demanding, needing to know where they are at all times and this woman, he knows he will consume her with needing to know and have eyes on her at all times.
    Cain doesn’t do anything different but his calmer with Anna around, Anna can’t believe that Cain makes things quiet, he’s different she can give him eye contact, touch him and it doesn’t bother her.
    What Cain is most surprised about is, the camera’s the trackers that he needs, Anna supports it helps calm her, and Anna can calm Cain with just a smile.
    They might not work with anyone else, but they do work together.

    The characters in this book were everything; both edged in jagged pieces that only fit together with each other. It made me learn and understand more about the autism spectrum in a way that showed that anyone can blossom beautifully if only they are accepted for who they are. To do that while also making an interesting and sexy story shows an incredible author. I will be immediately going straight toward this authors back catalog and I recommend that anyone reading this should do the same- right after reading this book first.

    I loved everything about this book. Showcasing neurodivergent individuals and how love and differences can be beautiful. I loved the little jeopardy quotes. I love how pragmatic Anna was. I love how ride or die Ini was. Cian’s Possession was perfection. Connor was an excellent charger. And showcasing a transgendered character in the mob, Elliot was sweet and perfection. This was such an amazing read I adored it. Cannot wait to read more from this author.

    Oh this story was a pleasure to read . I read it in one sitting and didn't want it to end .
    I adored this storyline because i have two girls who are autistic and as their mum i pray that they find a man who will love them unconditionally the way Cian did with his love for Anna. Although not as obsessively lol 😂.
    Wonderful story of a man who held no emotion and a woman who only wanted a family who loved and accepted her regardless of her quirks. It was so good to see a book about a main character who is neurodivergent shedding light on what it's like living with ASD and how it affects them and those around them . The author certainly did her research or perhaps knows or lives with some one with ASD because she wrote Anna's character superbly. This book holds a special place with me and I will be reading it again . Well done .

    This is a great book. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of neurodiversity, which was done in a meaningful way that allowed for understanding and meaningfully woven into the story. I appreciated the way that Anna and Cian met a need in each other that not everyone could understand, which was enhanced by having their views and insights. Lucy Monroe is skilled at writing characters that draw you in and make you care for them.

    There were some links to characters in other books, which I enjoyed although you don't have to be aware of them to enjoy the story. I'm already rereading and enjoying it.
