About this listen
I thought I knew the truth.
I thought he was my savior.
I’d spent my entire life running from him, only to become trapped in his web.
He says I’ll become his wife, that I’ll provide him an heir.
I’ll do both of those things, under one condition.
His father must die.

Deranged and violent. Gorgeous but frightening. I’m a businessman, so when one of my debtors offers me his fiancé in exchange for a debt settled, I figure why not? The woman will be a quick sell. Repayment comes in the form of a beautiful but haunted young woman. The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. I want to hurt her. I want to break her. I want to keep her. Luckily for Celia, she fails to see that there is no goodness in me.

Story
I went to a sex club to lose my virginity, but all I got was the attention of a man I should’ve stayed far away from. Nicholas is dark, dangerous, and charming. When he fails to sweep me off my feet, he finds another way to claim me. Now, locked away in his secluded mansion, I either give him what he wants or risk facing his wrath. This is a dark game, and if I’m not careful I could end up dead—if I don’t lose my soul to him first.

Story
Gabriel Corso is the stuff of nightmares and dirty dreams. He's a sinfully gorgeous mafia prince from a brutal rival family. In school, he was the bane of my existence. The dark villain to my sheltered princess. Then–poof–he disappeared. If only he’d stayed away. Turns out, our marriage is a term of his inheritance and now he’s returned to collect what’s his. That means ripping me from my gilded cage. It means locking me beneath his searing flesh. It means war. I’m not supposed to like it. To beg for more. To fall for him.

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.

Wearing the mask of legitimacy, this powerful crime family has returned to Avarice to punish those who have wronged them and take what they’ve always been denied, a place among the elite. Forced to marry my enemy, I’m thrust into his world of secrets and betrayals. My husband is a dangerous man. And he has dangerous enemies. But it’s when I’m attacked that his fury is unleashed.

Loyalty. Duty. Deceit. I never imagined my first trip to Italy would be to bury my father. But there I stood, alone in the ancient cathedral with my father’s casket, a handful of soldiers standing guard. It never occurred to me that anyone would disrupt the sanctity of the moment. But the Caballero brothers have little regard for the church and even less for my family. They marched in, weapons in hand, and turned my world upside down.

Story
She was a shy little virgin, looking to rebel. I was a bad accident waiting to happen. I’m the bad boy your parents warn you about. I’ve been to prison, killed for someone I love, and now I’m suffering through college. Then I see her…sweet, so naïve it hurts, and of course beautiful. She’s scared of me the moment we lock eyes, but beneath that fear is curiosity. From that moment on I’m consumed with a need to make her mine, to claim her...but when my past collides with my future, will I risk the chance of going back to prison to protect yet another person I love?

Story
I made a vow to protect her when we were just kids. First, from the monsters hiding under the bed and then the ones roaming the world freely. My obsession with Dove wasn’t normal. It toed the line on psychotic, but my love for her overshadowed that. I’d killed, destroyed, and hurt those who had done her wrong. I’d watched her for years wanting to claim her but refusing to. I was both her guardian angel and a demon lurking in the shadows. She was mine, even though she didn’t know it yet.

I went to a sex club to lose my virginity, but all I got was the attention of a man I should’ve stayed far away from. Nicholas is dark, dangerous, and charming. When he fails to sweep me off my feet, he finds another way to claim me. Now, locked away in his secluded mansion, I either give him what he wants or risk facing his wrath. This is a dark game, and if I’m not careful I could end up dead—if I don’t lose my soul to him first.

Almost as good as the 1st book
Triggers: non-consent and humiliation.
trigger disclosure: 0/5 you did not disclose any in your description. Always a massive disappointment, especially when you have non-con scenes.
🌶: 3.5/5
If you read book 1 and thought it was too dark, you should be happy with the ending of this book. FMC got some back bone! She isnt a badass but she raises hell in her own way. The ending was disappointing to me, too many long, sappy monologues and too much personality shift in MMC. I'm glad he was nicer, but he seemed like a completely different person. It just took a very "disney perfect" HEA direction that clashed with the vibes of book 1 and the first half of book 2.
The narration also got annoying and I dont know what happened after book 1. The male narator doing a femal voice got comical in this book.

If you like descriptive sex scenes it’s for you 😳
Overall I like the premise of the story but I had to fast forward through the sex scenes. Trigger warning, there is forced sex scenes.

Eh
So nothing triggers me anymore.
This book was very Mid.
If you’re offended by rape, imprisonment, Stockholm syndrome.
This isn’t the book for you.
Also the ending was a let down.
If you don’t mine anything above you’ll enjoy it, if you enjoy happy endings.
Very beauty and the beast vibes.

Very Captivating
This was a great duet. Very well written and extremely captivating! I listened to both books in less then a day because either just couldn't stop. The only dislike I had was that the MFC was a little whiney, weak, and naive.

I got through it.
I listened to this duet with my Audible sub and the narrators made it hard to get through. They sounded like Darkwing Duck and Rosario Dawson, which wouldn't have been bad if she fit the character description, it was weird at best and distracting at worst. I personally don't take well to audiobooks but it's the only way I get pages in with my job now so don't take my word for it.
As far as the story itself...I tried. I was introduced to this author with the Blackthorn Elite series and while it's one of my favorites, I've had trouble with everthing that has followed. 'Little Mouse' bothered the spit out of me for one, I think we all know why. Christian and Sian were both trash. Christian for obvious reasons, like how did Sian miss ALL of the signs? Which leads to Sian who had koala smooth brain at all times. The senselessness of EVERYTHING was intolerable.
It wasn't just angsty emotional drama either, it was plot rush and poor character depth and 'shocking' revelations that fell flat. It's starting to look like one shouldn't push out so many books in such a short time. I'm starting to lose hope.

How to belittle women
I don’t mind stories about alpha males. But in this one girl had a role of a dumb one with no brain. And the narrator was just as bad. Seriously no woman is THIS dumb!!

What can I say - it’s a book
I love that this book is in the plus catalogue on audible so I can listen to the series. Not my favorite, not the worst. The voice actors are ok. The female lead makes the dude sound like he’s always trying to be sexy. It’s annoying but you get used to it. I did. like the twist at the end. It’s not very often I don’t see it coming.
