First, I Love You
If Mario Puzo and Jane Austen crossed the time-space continuum and mated, “First, I Love You” would be their literary baby. Imagine being a detective with a mobster for a father, or a mobster with a straight arrow, good cop for a son. This is a relationship that is tricky on its best day. Add in some well-meaning meddling from a mob princess sister, an arrogant DEA agent, and gangsters running a human trafficking ring and you have a recipe for a book that refuses to follow the rules. Told from the perspective and point of view of each the six main characters this is the first novel in a trilogy about love, loyalty, revenge and redemption.
Omaha Detective Tommy Gates has kept his gangster father at arm’s length his whole life. Mickey Downey has spent the better part of the last two decades trying to find ways to get back the son he lost through Witness Protection. Now Tommy has taken an opportunity to work on a Federal Human Trafficking Joint Task Force in Chicago where his father lives. Tommy’s sister Kiki and his mother Mary see this as an opportunity to build a relationship between the two. Tommy’s new DEA partner James Hoffman sees it as an opportunity to gain leverage over Mickey Downey. Tommy’s other partner, FBI Agent Ginny Sommers wants to keep Tommy’s family as far from the case as possible. When Kiki and James join forces, sparks fly and it sets fire to a maelstrom of unexpected consequences for everyone involved.
One part The Godfather, two parts Emma and a dash of Casablanca mixed together, “First, I Love You” isn’t a detective novel, a gangster novel, a mystery, a romance or a family saga. It’s a little of all of the above.
Bad Penny’s thoughts on First, I Love You…
Show me romance weaved into in-depth multi-layered twists and turns, and I will tell you that you have a hit on your hands.
Seriously, Genevieve Dewey has done it!
What took years and several attempts for the greats of the writing world, she accomplished in her very first book! She has taken a family known as the Downey’s and created rich, unique, some lovable, and some you love-to-hate characters.
I wanted to know what everyone was talking about… and OMG I now know. Godfather meets Romance with family values that are so hard-core, they force life changing decisions.
If you aren’t itching to read it yet, you need to check out Second of All. Between the two books, you can’t resist, and you’ll be salivating while you wait for the 3rd in the Downey Trilogy. I know I am…
