If you're looking for an ott obsessed mmc who will literally kill anyone who looks at the fmc, this is the book for you (who doesn't love a morally grey mmc). Keller is obsessed from the moment he sees Sienna and he falls harder every moment of every day. Sienna needed to learn to love herself after she got out of an abusive relationship, but she grew to trust and love so much more throughout the story.
The story had a lot going on and it kept going at a decent pace. A great start to the series, letting us get to know a lot of characters!

“God, I want her. I want to possess her, claim her, and make her mine. I want to protect her and care for her.”


Really enjoyable read. It was fast paced and full of action which I really enjoyed. Keller Russo is a boxing champ by day mafia enforcer by night bad boy. Sienna Anderson is a British girl wanting to help kids who have had a go start to life and is down on the dating luck. She meets Keller and the chemistry is undeniable. And their chemistry is HOT! 🥵
They go through a lot of setbacks and troubles but Keller is down bad and won’t quit in his determination to keep Sienna as his. Very fun mafia read!

Absolutely loved this book! I have heard so many things about it as well as this author and I’m so glad I read this!

Distance is a wild ride from page one—dark, intense, and completely addictive. If you’re into mafia romances that don’t tiptoe around the spice and aren’t afraid to get messy, this book is your next obsession.

The male lead? Broody, possessive, and gives off major Damon Salvatore energy—if Damon was darker, more dangerous, and was in the mafia. He’s the kind of antihero you know you shouldn’t want, but can’t help falling for anyway. There’s a stalker ex lurking in the shadows, adding that delicious tension and danger. And let’s talk about the groveling—YES. Actual, satisfying groveling that makes all the chaos worth it.

The FMC is a dark romance reader herself (iconic), and watching her navigate this storm of love, obsession, and trauma while staying true to herself made me root for her so hard. She’s not just a damsel in distress—she knows her worth, even if love tries to rip her apart.

This is not a slow burn. It’s fiery, intense, and a little unhinged—in the best way. Perfect for fans of morally gray men, messy love stories, and plots that keep your heart racing.

Well, well, well… that was a fun one! I devoured this book and finished it in a day! I couldn’t put it down. Keller “The K!ller” Russo and Sienna were so good together.

I really enjoyed the characters, plot, and the delicious spice! 🥵 The spice in this one was so freaking good. And you don’t have to wait very long it! It starts to get spicy in Chapter 4!

I loved Keller and Sienna. They were so good together. And how they met was so funny. 😂 The push and pull between these two was really good. I loved how Keller tried to stay away, to keep Sienna away from his dangerous life. He wanted to protect her, but he just couldn’t resist her pull. I loved their attraction and draw to each other.

This was my first read by Luna, but certainly not my last! I cannot wait to read more of her books! I especially can’t wait to start the Beneath The Secrets series. I’m obsessed with those model covers! 😂 Yes, I judge books by their covers… Have you seen them?!? 🔥🥵

✨ Publication date: February 25, 2025✨

Distance is the first book in a stand alone dark mafia series by Luna Mason. This is a refresh originally published in 2023.

Sienna is newly single and trying to piece her life back together after walking in on her fiancé sleeping with another woman. She’s moved back in with her best friend and is just trying to lay low and focus on her job and friends, not looking for another relationship any time soon.

Sienna reluctantly joins her friends at the newly opens night club in town and quite literally runs into the owner, not realizing he is also the deal and broody boxer Keller. After their brief run in, neither can stop thinking about each other.

They decide to spend one night together to get each other out of their systems but it only proves how good they are together. Keller is reluctant to bring Sienna into his dark world but when her ex starts working with the rival mafia, Sienna is caught in the crossfire.

This book and plot had a ton of potential. There is a lot of spice but the writing needs some work. These characters are a bit all over the place, insta-love but break up with very little thought. Together, not together, can’t live without each other. I enjoyed the premise for the most part but with this being a debut, the writing could use some maturity and growth. This was a 3 star read for me.

The beginning of a great series that has everything you need from a dark mafia romance, a morally grey man obsessed with his girl and willing to fight for her and a broken hearted girl looking for her happily ever after, can she find it with once the mask has bene removed? Something about a fighter who is willing to use his strength to protect what is his while also being the softness his girl needs just turns me into a puddle.

Who doesn't LOVE a possessive hero in their books. Luna Mason delivered on that front! The chemistry between the two characters, Keller and Sienna is phenomenal and wrote so well. It makes me want more of the authors books immediately.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 book was fast-paced and featured instant love - both main characters were pretty much obsessed with each other from the get-go.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 believes that Keller is a savage boxer, but he’s actually a deadly enforcer in NYC. When he stumbles upon Sienna, the attraction is instant. They’re both hot and heavy for each other, and now he’s trying to protect her from the dangers of his world and a horrible ex.

𝐈 absolutely enjoyed Sienna and Keller's explosive chemistry. Filled with thrilling mafia drama and angsty moments, this is a great binge read for fans of mafia romance.

Ok, like OMG! These characters had me obsessed, how different they are but their beautiful love brought them together. Keller has such a dark back ground and how he was brought up and he was able to turn his life around once he found a stable home and his foster brothers. The authors attention to detail with this main male character will have your lady bits on high alert the entire time. Sienna has a a horrible relationship growing up with her mother, she had a horrible ex that you will follow throughout the story, but Keller enters the picture and his motion changes her look on life. The back and forth pull they have for one another is intense. By the end, I wanted more of their later life. I cant wait to see where book two takes me. Definitely a fantastic read.

Unfortunately this book was just not for me. I had to DNF it at about 50%. I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I may give it another try at a later date but for now it’s a DNF.

I was expecting more from this book. It’s labeled as mafia romance but there was barely any mafia. I like how the FMC was described as firecracker and was very lively and not afraid to speak her desires.
Keller the MMC was a bit much for me. Also the whole story was kind of chaotic. There were a lot of repeats. The third act break up was totally unnecessary.
I am 98% I will not be reading the rest of the series.

sienna catches her fiancé cheating on her and makes the decision to call off her wedding. her best friend Maddie takes her out to the city’s newest club on the weekend to cheer her up where sienna almost falls on her behind but is caught by a sexy-looking man covered in tattoos and muscle.

they both feel an instant connection and electricity - this man, Keller, happens to be a famous boxer who is also the enforcer for the New York mafia which his brother runs. they begin an entanglement of tension and danger.

this was a great story for someone who is wanting to dip their toes into dark romance/ mafia romance.

Oh my god! Why did I wait so long to read this?! I devoured this in a matter of hours and when I tell you that wanted to shake Keller at a certain point but it’s okay he eventually got there on his own.

This was such a fun read and it’s funny calling a dark romance a fun read but it really was! Sienna is a bada$$ and I love her even though she didn’t think she was.
Keller is hiding a dark past and watching him come undone around Sienna was amazing! We LOVE when a man is only soft for his woman and Keller embodies that to a T

Sienna is a woman who knows what she wants especially in the bedroom and she finally meets a guy excited to give it to her and when I tell you they are 💥 together that’s no joke!

Sienna & Keller were absolutely amazing!

I loved the fact that it was an insta-love kind of romance. These two, when together, were absolutely fire. Their connection was fast & intense.

Sienna was just getting over the fact that she caught her ex-fiancé cheating on her. Her best friend Maddie talked her into going out to a new club where she had quite an exhilarating evening. On her way to the bar she almost falls but ends up in the lap of Keller, the owner of said club & boxer.

This starts the beginnings of their love story. Keller is trying to find a way out of the mafia that his brother, Luca, currently runs. He’s hoping that the next big boxing match will be his ticket out. But he never anticipated Sienna showing up & throwing him for a loop.

He was always adamant that there wasn’t love for him, he was too dark for it to happen. But Sienna snuck her way past those walls & he fell hard & fast for her.

They go through some ups & downs whilst also dealing with her not so friendly ex-fiancé trying to scare her. When Keller’s big fight comes up, Sienna ends up having to stay behind because she’s been sick but that only leaves her vulnerable & unfortunately her ex finds her.

He does horrible things to her but Keller gets to her in time but it leaves him gutted that she was even hurt in the first place.

Keller leaves her thinking he’s doing the right thing but they both suffer because of it.

Thankfully he sees the error of his ways & grovels hard. Those last few chapters were tense but after his fight, that he rescheduled, that whole scene in the ring then afterwards… yeah melted my heart.

These two had one heck of a time fighting for one another but it just made it all so much more amazing when they came together at the end.

I absolutely loved this book & I was so happy to have read it. I highly recommend this book, this whole series. The men are so swoon worthy!

Absolutely amazing job!

My god this was an excellent story! I knew from the beginning it was going to unfold! The banter, the character growth, the spice! Who would have thought a bad boy would fall so hard and quick. But with a twist will she fall for him? Will she stay after she finds out? Want to know? You'll have to read it on your own!

I devoured this book and finished it in one day. This is my second Luna Mason book and she doesn’t disappoint.

Our FMC, Sienna, is finally done moping about finding her fiancé cheating on her and decides to have a night out. While at the club, she accidentally stumbles into Keller. He’s our MMC - club owner, boxer, mafia enforcer, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

I loved their story and how they helped each other find their self-worth. He definitely falls first 😉 and has an iconic “F*** it!” moment.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

If you love Mafia, touched her and d*e, a lot of spice, forbidden romance, Strong FMC, Bad a*s MMC and suspense you will love this book. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
