••••••••
REVIEW : JONAH BENNETT by Tijan is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance novella found in the author’s BENNETT MAFIA series, and the latest instalment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights. This is Dr. Jonah Bennett, and forensic technician Carson Dayley’s story line. JONAH BENNETT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Carson and Jonah) JONAH BENNETT follows in the aftermath of the murder of Jonah Bennett’s fiancée, and Jonah’s attraction to the forensic technician Carson Dayley. Months would pass, the murder would go unsolved and Jonah never forgot about our story line heroine until the day she walked into one of the family owned nightclubs, a coincidence the Bennett family suspected to be orchestrated by someone else. Believing she was in town for her sister’s upcoming wedding, Carson never expected to come face to face with the grieving fiance, the man who stirred something deep within our story line heroine but a man whose family secrets ran dangerous and dark; a family who was now holding our heroine hostage as they searched for the truth. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Carson and Jonah ,and the potential fall-out as the Bennett family has been targeted for sins of the past, and our heroine is currently in the direct line of fire.
Jonah Bennett knew he was loved by his half-siblings but always felt he didn’t quite belong. Studying medicine meant staying away from the family ‘business’ a business that was hurting the people he loved. Carson Dayley suspected the Bennett’s were more powerful than she could have ever imagined but our heroine never expected to pulled into a mob war, where she would become the ultimate prize.
The relationship between Carson and Jonah begins tempestuously as the Bennett family doesn’t trust our story line heroine. While Kai and Tanner Bennett begin to uncover the truth, Jonah’s relationship with Carson begins to turn into something more, something wherein Jonah become guardian and protector of the woman with whom he is falling in love. the $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include the Bennett family siblings: Kai and Riley (Bennett Mafia 1), as well as Tanner and Brooke, several security personnel, Carson’s co-workers, and the discovery of Jonah’s extended family, a family he never knew but had always wanted to know.
JONAH BENNETT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, trust, relationships, family and love. The premise is emotional, dark but captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are strong-willed, colorful and intense.

I took a breath, flattening my hand against my stomach. It was rumbling all over the place. “I don’t know what your family does, but I’m not dumb.” I tipped my head up.
He moved even closer.
“Jonah.” My voice was wobbly. He had to know I wouldn’t say anything, do anything. “It was very obvious that your family is wealthy—like, the type I didn’t even know existed. All the guards? That’s scary. Whatever your family does, I don’t want to know. I don’t need to know. I won’t say anything.”
He was in my space, but his eyes were soft. “It’s not that simple.”
It had to be. Panic was branding me from the inside out. I had to convince him of this.
Would they kill me?
No, this is Jonah.
My God. Why did I have blinders with this guy?
Jonah closed in, but he didn’t touch me. He stayed just out of touching distance, but he watched me, and I was flipping the fuck out.
I blinked away tears. “What are you going to do to me?”
He stared long and hard, as if looking inside of me. Then he reached up, his hand cupping the side of my face. “I remembered you, too, after that night. You showed me kindness when no one should’ve been doing that. You did. That meant something to me.”
I closed my eyes, wanting him to close the distance and wanting him to step away at the same time. Fear and desire pumped through my blood, heating me up. “Are you going to kill me?”
His hand flexed against my cheek.
I opened my eyes, finding his gaze on my lips.
Oh man. What was he thinking?
“Jonah,” I whispered.
His eyes flickered, coming back into focus.
“What are yo—”
“No.” That’s all he said before he lowered his head, and his mouth touched mine.
I gasped, grasping his wrist.
He pulled back. Lust had darkened his eyes, but he was holding, waiting.
He was waiting for me.
My heart thumped against my chest. I knew what I wanted.
Need flooded me. The ache inside me spread outward.
I started without fully admitting to myself what I was going to do. I moved closer, my lips searching for his, and after another second’s hesitation, I let go of his wrist. I grabbed his shirt and raised up on my toes.
I found him this time, and all the hesitation was over.
