A forbidden love affair in the time of Gangsters and Prohibition set in 1920s New York
This is a romance with M/M relationship and scenes of sex and gang related violence.
I loved this tale of forbidden love between an Italian gangster and an Irish rum runner during a time when society believed there were few worse evils than being homosexual.
This book is filled with all the action, secrecy and violence that you’d expect during the time when organised crime ruled the streets and courthouses and the local speakeasy was the only place to get alcohol. When the poor starved to death and for many, a life of crime was the only way to make ends meet.
The writer has clearly researched the language and social structure of that time and the story is well written. The historical tensions between the Italian gangs and the Irish gangs, which frequently led to bloodshed and death, is well documented and comes to life in this book.
