What was supposed to be a quick, satisfying revenge stunt spirals into something far more dangerous when Tara realizes their captive isn’t Jordan’s heartbreaker at all. As panic sets in, Tara is forced to neglect or consider unthinkable options to clean up her mess.
The real nightmare begins when Tara’s captive walks into her tattoo shop just days later—alive and very much not someone you want to cross because he isn’t just anyone. He’s the son of one of the most powerful figures in the Irish Mafia.

As someone who enjoys a good mafia romance but also loves the twists and humor found in romantic comedies, Bubblegum Alibis really caught my attention. The premise of kidnapping the wrong guy is a fresh take on the usual revenge-driven plot. It’s fascinating how the story blends suspense with romcom elements, especially when Tara’s captive turns out to be connected to the powerful Irish Mafia. From my reading experience with similar books, incorporating themes like mistaken identity and closed-door romantic tension adds layers that keep readers hooked. The use of profanity also hints at a raw, authentic dialogue style which many fans of the genre appreciate. Especially intriguing is the setting around a tattoo shop—a unique location that adds personality and depth to the characters and story. The idea of a quick revenge stunt spiraling into dangerous territory feels very real and relatable to anyone who’s ever had plans go totally sideways. It also makes me curious about how Tara navigates the moral dilemmas she faces, which adds an emotional complexity beyond just the romance. What stands out most to me is the promise that the captive is the son of an Irish Mafia boss—this raises the stakes dramatically. Mafia romance fans love high-powered, dangerous love interests, and this story seems to deliver that, along with humor and a chance for the heroine to grow in unexpected ways. Overall, Bubblegum Alibis looks like a perfect mix for readers who want suspense, humor, and passionate romance woven into one compelling story. I’m eagerly looking forward to its release and recommending it to fellow romance lovers seeking something that balances danger with delightful twists.
