Thank you to Luna and hambright pr for this ARC

Luna never fails in amazing me with her books. This was no different (I have read them out of order, and had no issue) highly recommend picking this up. The plot, the spice, the characters & their growth. I loved it!

What a fun, fast paced and SPICY mafia romance!!! This has been on my radar/tbr for forever… when I learned it was getting traditionally published, I immediately became even more intrigued. I thought this was a good time dark romance. Was it life changing??? Hmmm no. However, I blew through this one once I got into it (took me about 70 pages) and after that point I couldn’t stop reading. This story was very addictive🤭

This was a good story for me to read. The plot kept me reading and the spice made me blush. I feel that i did not want to stop reading it.

"It's right there in ink. I belong to you. forever. be angry all you want, even better.....how about you ride me like you hate me, then I'll f**k you like I love you. how does that sound?"

listen....
the way this man has me foaming at the damn mouth and barking at my kindle.
Keller mf Russo. lord.
this man had me in a chokehold and would not let go until I turned the final page.
while mafia is not my normal go too, I loved this. The plot was good. the spice was so so good.
I found it to be a fast paced read. read your trigger warnings. and enjoy.

The book had potential but I just couldn’t finish it , I kept coming back because I really wanted to finish it .
I found the character a little bit annoying

🚨🚨 Someone call 911 because Distance from Luna Mason just set my soul ON FIRE 🔥🖤

We open with Sienna walking in on her trash fiancé mid-cheat and I was SCREAMING 😱📢 Like, sis, you deserve better and THANK GOD she walked away ✨👑 (no second chances for clowns 🤡).

But y’all... the secrets that unfold??? The way her ex REFUSES to let go??? It’s giving obsession in the creepiest way and had me clutching my Kindle like 😳📱. When the truth came out, my jaw was on the literal floor 🫨.

And then... KELLER — massive, tattooed, mafia enforcer and FAMOUS BOXER 😮‍💨💀💘. The way he immediately protects Sienna??? Dead. I’m dead. Bury me next to this book because no one is topping him.

And don't even get me started on the SPICE 🥵🔥 — it hits EARLY and it hits HARD.

Honestly, this book had everything — danger, steam, romance, mafia drama — and even though it could’ve been a tiny bit shorter, I devoured it like my life depended on it 🖤📖.

@LunaMason if you see this — your brain needs to be protected at all costs 🛡️✨ thank you for giving us Keller and Sienna — can’t WAIT to inhale the next one 🖤🖤🖤

Absolutely loved the writing style

Keller and Siennas story is one to fight for.

The danger and banter in this story draws you in

This is my second round reading Distance and let me just say, it feels like I am reading it for the first time. With the new release of its brand new cover, I was able to get an ARC from Hambright through NetGalley and I have been enjoying it. I have forgotten how much Keller and Sienna brought to the table with their story. Luna Mason is a stupendous writer but give her some Mafia Romance and she will have you reading this stuff on speed.

These characters are very likeable from the start but also processive. Please check triggers before going into this one, as it does discuss certain topics that can trigger and be hard to read.

Keller-is a boxer trying to find his freedom from working in the mob. He not only owns a nightclub but this is where he meets Sienna. The woman who will take over not only his mind but heart.

Sienna-A heartbroken girl who discovers her cheating fiancé' with another woman and decides to go out with her best friend to get out of her funk. In the club she meets Keller and they hit it off right away. The sexual chemistry is buzzing the moment they lay eyes on each other.

These characters will come to not only fall head over heels but obstacles to be able to move forward and have the future they want. Overall, this book is a 5 star in every way possible. Luna Mason kept me on my toes with this one. I was so engaged in this reading that even the second time around I was done in no time. If you enjoy Mafia Romance then this one is definitely for you.

Distance is a dark romance story with mafia ties. I love a good dark romance, and this is one with a QUICK Burn. Sometimes, love at first sight... or lust... just happens and that's exactly what went down in this one! Sophia is fresh off a breakup and her best friend has tickets to the opening of a new club in town. At the club, Sophia stumbles directly into a beast of a man, and one thing leads to the other... and Sophia thinks she's going to hit it and quit it for a fun time!

Well... that beast is Keller, champion boxer, club owner, mafia hitman... and a man who decides he has to have Sophia. This story is super spicy, just a heads up, but yall already know I liked it lol. But there was more than just spice to this story. Sophia's ex is stalking her and the warnings Keller gives him to stay away are ignored, repeatedly. So there's definitely some suspense as well, which was a nice addition!

I really liked Keller and Sophia both. I always love MMCs who are dark, broody, dangerous but then just turn into teddy bears with the right woman. Why is that? Both MCs had troubling childhoods, which I felt added to both their characters. Sophia is sweet but also she can take on the world. While no one ever needs a man, Sophia knows how to balance that line between independence and love.

I'm excited for the next book, because I want more from these characters- especially Maddie. I need her story!

I requested this book because I do love a mafia romance so I was super excited to pick this up. I am someone that loves a blend of plot and romance and I think there needs to be a good balance of both in a story to keep the reader interested. What I found with this book was that we jumped straight into a relationship so quickly that I felt myself losing interest in the couple quite rapidly. I felt that there wasn’t much of a storyline until we got to around 70% of the book. It picked up and I was suddenly very excited for what was going to happen for the FMC… then we had a third act breakup which felt really forced and then the dreaded pregnancy trope…. It is a shame because I was really interested in the mafia side of the story and blending this with a boxer that wants to get out of his ‘mafia chains’ so to speak. It just felt like a lot of spice with not a lot of substance. This book is great for anyone that likes to read mostly spice and focuses more on the relationship. Unfortunately it just wasn’t for me.

This was such a good dark mafia romance! I needed something darker after all of the small town fluffy romances I’ve read recently and Keller and Sienna were perfect for that!

This book was fast paced, and I loved the instant attraction between Keller and Sienna. I loved seeing the growth between the two and their scenes were extra spicy. I especially loved the banter between their best friends which added to the mix . The writing and plot were engaging and fast paced. I like the found family trope which was present in this book. This was a very enjoyable read, and I look forward to more


Thank you to HamBright PR and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

"Don't ever think I want to hide you, Sienna. I could feel your thoughts the second I walked into the room. I want the world to know you belong to me and that I am only owned by you,"

Sienna is no stranger to heartbreak and people leaving her so when she finds her fiancé with another women she expected it. Everything in Siennas life is full of disappointment besides her bestfriend and roommate Maddie. With take her mind off her cheating fiancé they decide to go out and have some fun. What Sienna didn’t expect is to have caught the attention of a heavy weight boxing champion Keller. What happens when Keller doesn’t want only one night with Sienna? Will Sienna walk away after she finds out what Keller is really apart of?

I could not put this book down and finished this book in a couple of hours!!!

The concept of this book and the first few chapters really drew me in. In the beginning, I really enjoyed Keller and Sienna’s characters. Their spicy scenes were scorching! However, throughout the story, I felt as though their relationship was just lust with no real depth and a big lack of communication. The overall plot also felt a bit chaotic, there were just so many different things happening that Keller being a Boxer or an enforcer for the mafia just felt forced at times.

Distance
By Luna Mason

This is book one of The Beneath the Mask Series. Keller and Sienna have an explosive connection from page one. They meet by chance in Keller’s bar after Sienna’s roommate Maddie convinces her to go out because she’s been depressed at home after finding her boyfriend cheating on her.

Keller is a famous boxer and has ties to the head of the mafia. He doesn’t want any distractions; he can't afford them. He’s preparing for the fight that will get him out of his mafia ties. Keller becomes obsessed with Sienna after just one taste. He is the perfect protective alpha male. As Sienna deals with the baggage of her ex boyfriend, now turned stalker, Keller becomes her place of safety. Their connection is fast and extremely explosive. This was a steamy read that will have you hot and bothered.

Sadly I got 50% though this book and then I DNF’ed it. After reading the blurb I thought I would enjoy this book so much unfortunately it just felt flat for me, I struggled to find a connection to the characters and the plot.
