The must read conclusion to Alfie & West. Can West accept that the love of his life lives a criminal life? Alfie might be willing to try and give up everything but perhaps his special person won't require that of him.
From the Alfie: Part 2 blurb:
When two broken hearts have reached their limits, it’s time for a mobster to play dirty in order to let the healing begin. Don’t worry, Alfie has a plan.
That very second, the moment West said those words…I almost shattered. Again. I’d put myself out there. I’d begged him for a second chance. I’d told him I’d give up everything for him and our kids—but he’d shot me down. And now, when I let him know that I was changing my last name back to O’Dwyer, he had the balls to say his name suited me better. He stood there in front of me, trying to act like his eyes weren’t burning with unshed tears, and admitted that he didn’t know how to let me go.
Not long after, I nearly broke into a million pieces again, when Dad called and said that Mom was in the hospital. That she’d been assaulted.
No words could describe the rage that flooded me, and I couldn’t hide it from West either.
He was about to find out just how far the Sons of Munster would go to avenge their own.

Alfie belongs in the Irish of Philly universe by Cara Dee. However, Alfie and West’s story has been written so it can be enjoyed to its full extent as a stand-alone.
SNik's review:
Second in duet (Alfie & West), must be read in order. Second chance. Mature characters. Hurt/comfort. Age gap. Found family. Dual POV.
Picking up right as the first book ended, Alfie and West still remain conflicted about how to reconcile. Luckily, they both refuse to give up on each other and they are willing to sacrifice everything and anything to be together.
I really enjoyed the fact that West finally realizes that he is unable to live without Alfie and nothing matters besides having him in his life, their relationship and family is his number one priority. Also, the honest communication in this book, West especially reassures Alfie how much he treasures him, how important he is, and how he doesn’t want him to change. There is plenty of steam as Alfie and West rebuild, and it was really enjoyable to see their found family expand easily from embracing Alfie, extending that to West as well (I especially like Colby as an addition to their family). It is still clear from page one that Alfie and West have a deeply held love and commitment, with a sweet HEA.
