About this listen

Nina

I’ve been forced into an arranged marriage with the heir of the Italian mafia.

My brother made it clear.

Either I marry him, or he’ll make me wish I was dead.

I knew what was expected of me.

Put on a smile. Sit pretty. Say nothing.

What I didn’t expect was him.

My fiancée’s father. Twenty-five years older.

Forbidden.

And the only man who’s ever seen me.

Enzo

It should’ve been a simple arrangement.

But she ruined it. Ruined me.

Nina was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen.

Strong, intelligent…a virgin.

And my son’s fiancée.

I never wanted anything more.

To my credit, I tried to resist her.

But when her safety is threatened, I snap.

My son can’t have her.

Because no one touches what’s mine.

3.75 Stars | Audiobook Review
Sinful Temptation is the second book I’ve read in the Kings and Consorts series, and it pulled me in right away with its strong start and darker mafia themes. Poppy St. John really knows how to write fierce, headstrong FMCs—and Nina is no exception. Her story begins behind bars, framed for a murder within her family’s organization, only to be pulled out for an arranged marriage… with the wrong man. Because the real chemistry? It’s with his father. Yep—this is an age gap, forbidden romance with a mafia twist.

The narrators, Eliza Nyx and Lucas Troy, were perfect again. They also narrated Twisted Devotion, and they continue to bring intensity and emotion to these dark, broody characters. Lucas especially nails the older, commanding Italian mob boss energy of Enzo, and Eliza’s voice gives Nina that perfect balance of fire and vulnerability.

What held this back from a higher rating for me was the pacing. The story starts off strong and engaging, but like the first book, it feels rushed toward the end. The emotional development turns from insta-lust to love a bit too quickly, and I just wanted more depth in the resolution. Still, the premise, the characters, and those narrators kept me hooked—and I’ll definitely keep going with the series.

Dark, fast and dirty…say no more!

Another great production of a poppy at John book. Enzo might just have won me over as the best. Have to say I was very addicted to this story and character development and the performance was amazing as always. Perfect representation of the characters

Great listen

This was a forbidden age gap (25 yrs) dark mafia. A standalone within the Kings & Consorts Series
Nina 19 serving time in person was released by her brother to be used in a marriage between families. All she wanted was to be free and dance but learns she is promised to Matteo. Enzo who is Matteo father is attracted to Nina from the start. I was expecting a little more of the mafia side and we do get a little of that but it revolves more around the building forbidden aspect between Enzo and Nina and him pushing for his son and her to form a connection all while wanting her for himself. It was fast paced with not much conflict other then internal struggles Enzo has. I would have liked a little more depth to their relationship but overall I enjoyed the two of them with the time and attention that he gives to her. Also wanting to protect her from her brother. I also enjoyed Matteo but felt like he wasn’t the one for her from the very beginning.

I am glad I listened to the audio of this one @elizanyxnarrator and @lucastroyvo do a great job with the duet narration bringing the characters to life and the spicy scenes 🔥.
