Our Blood, Our Pain by Syn Blackrose

5.0

Jules is an enforcer for the Kozlov brothers. Feared in his own right with reputation that proceeds him. Violence and pain is all he’s known from a very young age. He was abandoned and taken in my his found family, his brothers in arms, Jules has grown and become a force that is unstoppable and loyalty that is unrivalled. He has to take in his step nephew, show him a way of life that may not be all that moral but can protect him and his him something he has been longing for…. Stability. What Jules does not expect is to look at the boy he’s never known and see a grown man. A man with attitude and sass, a man struggling to find his love in life, a man that needs direction and most of all a man that he desires with every fibre of his being. It may not be right some peoples eyes but Jules cares little of what others think…. Kai is his to protect, to love, to discipline… Kai is his to own and no one and he means NO ONE will come between Jules and the love of his life. 

Kai’s life is a mess. No job, no education, no prospects but he doesn’t want this life. He doesn’t want to stay in this town and amount to nothing but a lowly thug. His mother is at her wits end so she calls her estranged step brother to help get Kai’s life on the right track. In walks the step uncle he never claimed but always desired. His walking wet dream…. His every fantasy come to life.  Kai is thrust into a new life he didn’t ask for but a life that will give him purpose and the man he loves.

The story is full of twists and turns, it keeps you intrigued. I adored the possessive alphas, the desire to protect your man no matter what.
