About this listen
Within the ruthless hierarchy of the mafia, Dav and Cinna reign as powerful capos within the same crime family.
Dav, with his gregarious charm and flirtatious disposition, hides a secret darkness that few ever glimpse. Despite his relentless advances, Cinna, strong-willed and fiercely independent, keeps him at arm's length, determined to prove herself an equal in a male-dominated world.
One night, Cinna's resolve is fractured when she is brutally attacked, leaving her shattered. Desperate to maintain her hard-earned respect amongst her family, she seeks out Dav, the only person she feels she can trust, begging for his help and swearing him to secrecy.
As she recovers under his protective care, a slow-building chemistry finally ignites between them, leading to a passionate encounter that leaves them both reeling.
But Cinna's fears push her to erect walls around her heart, leaving Dav behind as she hunts for her assailant.
Yet, destiny keeps drawing them together, and with each dangerous step towards uncovering the truth, their growing feelings become impossible to ignore…
Each book in this series can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Story
The first day that she walked onto the surgical floor that Chevy Clayborne spent most of his time on, he knew that he’d do anything to make her his. For two years, he played the long game. He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t. He’s no real knight. In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.

Story
Imogen is a smart girl. A girl who doesn't always make the best decisions. Her heart is in the right place when she walks into that prison, but it doesn't take long for her to realize that her heart shouldn't have had any say so in the matter. Especially when one wrong move lands her in the arms of a scarred man that looks frightening enough to scare any sane woman away.

Story
Kettle had it all. Until he didn't. He lost it all in a moment. One heart stopping, soul shattering moment, and there wasn't a single thing he could do about it. From that day forward, he stayed away from relationships. Then he responded to a possible fire and there she was, rocking his world when he didn't want it to be rocked. Adeline was just a schoolteacher. She lived a boring life. Until she stole something. And it didn't have anything to do with the sexy firefighter's heart. Oh, she stole that, too, even if he didn't want it to be stolen.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it.

Story
There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between. The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons. First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.

Six Ines Broussard walks right into the middle of hell. And at the center of it? Lynnwood Thatcher. The mayor. The man that she took one glance at on the night of his inauguration and dismissed as boring. A total stick in the mud. Only, he’s not so boring shirtless, in the middle of nowhere, doing things that are very illegal. At first, she’s appalled. Then her interest gets piqued. Stuck-up suit is hot! And he has tattoos. Then, he goes and kidnaps her...and she soon realizes, nobody is quite as hot as you thought they were when they’re holding you hostage.

oh this series is gonna be amazing!!
- By Jaime G on 01-12-21
By: Lani Lynn Vale
The first chapter, Cynna's vulnerability, and strength, as she stries to get out of the warehouse, the narrators voice showcases her fear, and weariness, and her knowledge that if she doesn't get out she could - no WILL - die.
I love Dav's tenderness with her, both at the beginning, and as their relationship strengthens and matures, how he holds back - almost hiding how much he wants her so she doesn't run away again.
Cynna's natural presence and humor as she laughs at Joel when he tries to tell her his name is Spike, and she buys food and another door so he has a reason to stay at her house and not outside his parents.
I love the male narrators ability to flip the switch for Dav when he has to go in and get Cynna, and he finally let's his demons out to play. Jessica Gadziala knows how to intertwine these characters perfectly so they're saving each other, and neither one is dominant over the other.
Cynna is probably one of my favorite characters in the Five Families, and more importantly the Lombardi Family series. Her strength is so important, but so too is her ability to be caring toward Joel and Lip, and to show her intense love for Dav.🖤 Absolutely five stars for narration and an EXQUISITE book made all the better by the narrators.
They Saved Each Other!
