Gabe Marchionni, New Orleans’ most eligible bachelor, has a problem…
…and it’s wrapped in a pink blanket.

What in the heck is the reluctant new head of a mafia family supposed to do with an infant?

For anyone else it would be simple. But with enemies around every corner, Gabe can't exactly go find the woman he dumped years ago and convince her to give him a second chance.

Not when it means putting her life in danger.

Maggie Guthrie is broke, exhausted, and raising her deceased sister’s kids. She’s also a reporter by day and desperately needs to get the scoop on one of the most illustrious families in the French Quarter, the Marchionnis…
…even if that means exposing decades of blackmail, extortion, and worse.

So when Gabe, her ex-whatever-the-heck-he-was, shows up on her doorstep with a newborn and a proposition she should refuse, Maggie knows better than to let him into her house…
...and into her life.

Especially when, falling for him again might cost her more than her heart.

Absinthe Minded is a humorous second chance romance filled with new dad fails, serious groveling, and five delicious Italian brothers--who want nothing more than to leave the "family business" behind them.

True love wins, family wins, doing the right thing wins even in an old fashioned mafia family. Action, danger and steamy sex scenes.

Hearst pens an interesting story in Absinthe Minded. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This is a different type of story than I'm used to from Hearst, and this was just a great story. I see that it's the first and there is more to come, so I can't wait to read the next one, and whatever comes after that. The characters were fun and also intense and charismatic. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very realistic. I really like Maggie, and she's this strong, intelligent women raising her dead sister's children, and yet, she has this connection with Gabe. Gabe is the new head of a mafia family, and he definitely fits the part, and I can see the chemistry between him and Maggie, even though there is turmoil, and struggles. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. Very impressive story telling. Absinthe Minded is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not so regular romcom
Reviewed in the United States on 7 August 2021

(audiobook+ebook) It starts as your regular romcom–guy gets stuck with his surprise baby while the baby’s momma goes on a cruise, and he shacks up with the love of his life so she can help him while she raise’s her dead sister’s children. Okay, maybe not so regular. But still.

The situations are quite funny. Especially seeing this bad boy/mobster trying to take care of kids of various ages. Because, yes, the male character is also an unusual one for a romcom. Heir of a Sicilian family that dabs into illegal matters, Gabe is also a rich bachelor, a bar owner, and an overall good guy who wants out and hopes for a second chance with his ex-girlfriend. Maggie is more typical as a damsel in distress–except for the fact that she’s quite strong for a weak woman, and stands her ground.

So, that’s how it starts, but that’s far from how it ends. There are touches of dark right from the beginning–at least from the involvement of the mafia, and the mysterious death of Maggie’s sister and Gabe’s brother–but it becomes darker and darker when secrets are revealed. It’s still pretty light compared to straight up mafia romances.

The romance was cute with a bit of sexy. Gabe is supposed to seduce Maggie because his father asked him to, but he agrees because he still loves her. They have several romantic scenes together that’ll make you swoon.

The audiobook was quite enjoyable. Both narrators did a good job expressing both the light humor and the darker moments. I couldn’t always distinguish the kids’ voices though. That’s okay, at least they HAD kids’ voices.

2.0 out of 5 stars Middle of the road kind of story
Reviewed in Australia on 29 February 2024

There’s not too much amiss with this story other than half way through and I’m finding it just a little humdrum. There’s not that hook that keeps you on the edge of your seat, or wanting more. Not my story in the end. No doubt I’m in the minority.
