About this listen
He has stolen me from my fiancé and claims I belong to him now.
Piero Panarello was going to be my husband.
Handsome. Charming. Rich.
I’d started to fall for him until out of nowhere I’m stolen by his enemy.
Cillian Hook.
Equally handsome, but not so charming.
He vows to take everything from Piero, starting with me.
Cillian is ruthless and cold.
He forces me down the aisle and takes me as his wife against my will.
All I can do is hope Piero comes to save me.
And yet, the longer I spend in this villain’s clutches, the more my grip on reality shifts.
Slowly, his darkness penetrates my soul and I finally realize that all is not as it first seemed.
There are two villains in this story.
The question is which one will capture my heart?
Hook is the second book in the Once Upon a Villain Series by Bianca Cole. This story is a dark forced marriage romance story with dark themes and certain subjects that may upset the listener. It has no cliffhanger, a happily ever after ending, and can be listened to as a standalone.

I wake up chained to the bed of a stranger. He says I’m his wife. I have nothing—no money. No friends. No escape. He’s everything I never imagined: ruthless, calculating, feared. A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

There’s no need to think about Nate Mathews, especially since he’s off on the pro bull riding tour. Out of sight, out of mind. Until Nate walks back into her life, four years older, four years hotter, and with four years of regrets behind the blue eyes she once fell in love with.

Story
He’s evil incarnate, cloaked in a beautiful disguise. My father uprooted our family, forcing me to relocate to America. If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s making me marry the son of a psychopath. Maxim Volkov. Heir to the Volkov Bratva. I’d rather die than be shackled to a man so evil. A man who has no soul. His piercing blue eyes are as cold as his stony heart. And he’s not exactly thrilled, either. My life has never felt so hopeless.

Story
Kane Romano is the most handsome, powerful man I’ve ever met. He’s also the man holding me captive. My asshole of a step-dad found himself on the wrong side of the mafia, and then offered me up in exchange for his life. How does he have the right? I’m 18 years old, and my step-dad doesn’t own me. The problem is, Kane Romano agrees. Everyone knows you don't fight with a Romano, unless you want to end up in an unmarked grave. I should be scared, but every time I look into those dark eyes, I feel safe and protected.

He may be dangerous, but I can’t resist the urge to call him daddy. A secret kink I’ve never explored draws me to an underground club. My new friend and colleague is a regular member and convinces me to join her. What I didn’t know is the place is run by an Irish crime gang. Even worse, the leader of the gang takes an interest in me. Something tells me he’s not used to taking no for an answer. Devlin Murphy is six foot four of pure muscle, plastered in tattoos. He has dark eyes you could lose yourself in and an accent to die for.

But I needed to get rid of my V-Card and a gorgeous mafia man who would never fall for a curvy womanlike me is the perfect one and done. Boy, was I wrong. Eoghan turns obsessed, jealous, and unhinged. I’m a prosecutor. He’s a criminal. We have nothing in common.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

Zepp Hunt wasn’t the king of Dayton high school. He was the top of the food chain. And I was next in line to be dragged into the lion’s den. At least that’s what he thought.... Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls wanted to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me? I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being. Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet.

Buy it.
The FMC is kinda ... robotic? it feels unnatural honestly. their are times when it's not. The MMC is how I expect most Alpha men to sound. The story is good. even if I called the bad guy at the beginning. all in all buy the book. the spice is top tier.

meh
did not care for the female voice. the book has a lot of tropes. the writing isn't that creative and this reads like a youth book. the thing that really kills it for me is the child bride. if you do the math, the bride is 15y/o which is a bit young for this kind of content.

This Bianca Cole 🎧book was just okay. As much as I love the HAF voice of Troy Duran couldn’t save this book. It was just too over the top and it got rather predictable. It does end with a HEA & a tiny surprise. Is it worth a credit? Sadly it’s a no for me.🙁
