Story
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world. Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age 10? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at 14 or when we shed our virginity at 16, pledging our forever?

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

There's a moment when I forget he's not mine. This small spell of time, when I let my thoughts carry me away. He holds me. He kisses me. He makes all of this better. That moment when I'm his and everything is all right, is gone in an instant. It's quick and fleeting, moving so fast that it slips through my grasp. If I could catch it, I'd hold on to it forever. I always thought this thing between us would only ever be just that. A passing moment, a pleasant dream that helped lull me to sleep at night.

I was stolen away and held prisoner in Italy, a bride for a mafia king's only heir. Except I'm no innocent, and it's the king himself—the man called il Diavolo—who appeals to me in sinful ways I never dreamed. Fausto's wickedness draws me in, his power like a drug. And when the devil decides he wants me, I'm helpless to resist him—even if it means giving myself to him, body and soul. He may think he can control me, but this king is about to find out who's really the boss.

I was born a monster. Cruelty ran in my veins like poison. Raised to break others. When Aria was given to me in marriage, everyone waited with baited breath to see how fast I’d break her like my father broke his women. Breaking her would have taken little effort. It came naturally to me. I was gladly the monster everyone feared. Until her.

It is possible to be the BEST
By the time an author repelases a 4th book in a series, the story gets stale, monotonous and sometimes down right boring... oh not this time, not this book, if it’s possible to adore a fourth book better than the first 3 I would say this is it!!! And omg the narrator, are there oscars, Emmy or Tony awards given for narrators because this man deserves all of them, the amount of life he gave to this story is beyond words, I can’t even describe how involved and realistic it felt while listening to this story, I swore I was in the middle of the book watching it everything happening right in front of me. I can’t recommend this series enough and now with the addition of this book I’ll have to figure out how to make people read/listen to it even more!!!

There are not enough stars in the galaxy!! WOW!!
An amazingly unique, entertaining, gripping, heartfelt, fast paced, one of a kind story that has you on pins and needles the entire time. I have been a huge fan of this series for a while now and decided to wait for the audio of this book to see what would happen after the last book. It was so well worth the wait and then some. The writing is as you come to expect from J.J. McAvoy... Apologetically in your face, smart, witty and sexy! This woman can do absolutely no wrong with this world that she has built. These characters and all their intricate relationships are like crack to a junkie, so good that one can't just wait for the next fix. You want to keep on going even if you know that around the corner something is going to happen to rip your heart out. Now, the narration just took this story to another stratosphere!! Joel Froomkin completely SLAYS this narration. It felt like a radio opera with all of the different characters being voiced with so much clarity and uniqueness that you would think it was a full cast of narrators instead of one man going all in for his performance. The last hour of this audio is something fierce and the emotions just overtake you. I was a goner, and like a true masochist, I wanted more. I can't wait for more!!!

Not exactly how I expected it to end truth be told but still quite a lovely finish and an increadibly satisfying ending to a favorite series of mine.
Not ashamed to admit there were several tears. You will know why when u read it. But stick with it. Might not end how u want it to but it Will be a HEA of sorts. Will not spoil it.
Broke my heart, but oh what a finish. Definately will listen to again and again.
Well Done!

The story is amazing, of course, but the narrator is amazing. I typically always purchase Audible books (167 so far) that have dual narration. BUT Joel is fan-freakin-tastic. Yasss

Wow! I am speechless!
I didn't know JJ McAvoy prior to this series. I am now a FOREVER fan. This book was the final installment of Ruthless People Series and it was FULL of emotion, twists and turns. I cried, screamed and was left bubbling over in the end. This isn't a nice world they live in so the events depict that well. This was also my first exposure to Joel F. as a narrator and holy hell is he a series talent. He absolutely MADE this series AMAZING. BRAVO!
