About this listen
This book is part of a series about a single couple that needs to be heard in order.
The ugliest truths blossom into the prettiest lies.
A year into the relationship with Domenico, Seth still wants him as desperately as ever. Nothing is better than being intoxicated with lust for his deadly man and feeling his steady hands all over.
No matter the misunderstandings, the fights...the crash. The burn.
Crossing the Mexican border has been a goal for Seth and Domenico for a few months, but the trip couldn’t have ended in more of a disaster. While Domenico is stuck at home, for Seth, each passing day becomes more difficult. Desperate to keep his family afloat, he accepts a job offer from Los Sepultureros. The Gravediggers.
When Domenico’s need for control starts eroding their trust, Seth is sure their love can conquer all. But when Domenico rips open the wound left after the violence at the beginning of their relationship, it gushes blood all over their cozy lies, and this time, there may be no way to seal it.
Possible spoilers.
Themes: Mafia, cartel, assassin, organized crime, trust issues, religion, love
Genre: Dark, twisted romance / crime thriller
Warning: Adult content. If you are easily offended, this book is not for you.
Guns n’ Boys is a gritty series of extreme violence, offensive language, abuse, and morally ambiguous protagonists. Behind the morbid façade, there is a splash of inappropriate dark humor, and a love story that will crawl under your skin.

Like every other weekend, Colin is on his way home from university, but he’s taunted by the notion that he never takes risks in life and always follows the beaten path.

He ends up taking a detour into the darkest pit of horror, abducted by a silent, imposing man with a blood-stained axe.

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Sunshine. It's a nickname I haven't heard since I lived on Woodbury Lane, where the houses were pretty, but the secrets? Deadly. It was a pet name known only to the Bullets. Rough, violent, and ruthless, they laid claim to the town - and my heart. I wasn't supposed to fall for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks‚ especially not four of them. But they were the only ones who understood that sometimes hell hides in plain sight.

But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood. I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill.

Sometimes you don't mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she's sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell-bent on avenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn't seem all that interested in playing things safe.

Story
Everyone in the city knows who I am: Vincent Citrione, top capo of the most powerful crime family in the city. If you’ve got two brain cells to rub together, you’re scared sh*tless of me. As for women, I give them the hardest, dirtiest f*ck of their lives before showing them the door. They know better than to expect more. Commitments? F*ck ‘em. At least, that was my motto until I caught her snooping in the wrong place at the wrong time. Aubriella. I wanted her to be like all the rest of the girls. I wanted to forget her. But I can’t forget her lush curves...

My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

The memory of Josiah DeMille has haunted me for close to a decade. The way he looked. The way he smelled. The way his lips felt pressed against mine, even when they shouldn't have been. The one person I've never been able to get over. The one singular part of my past I've never been able to move on from. In every lyric sung into the microphone, in every chord strummed on the guitar, in the bottom of every single whiskey bottle, he's there. His memory has me in a chokehold. His absence a gaping hole in my chest. I gave up years ago, wondering if I'd ever stop thinking about him.

Enjoyed It a Lot
This is such an entertaining series, every book tells a new story with Seth and Domenico as main force driving the plot. Its not easy to run from " The Family" and they do the best they can, get into testing adventures and risky situations along the way. I love following how both Seth and Dom grew and developed through the books, their love and devotion is constantly challenged and they never able to stop fighting to be with each other. Narrator did a great job with this story, his voice and talent made this a perfect listening experience.

The saga continues in my third re-listen of this epic love story
Poor Dom. It’s hilarious and a bit sad to watch how he contorts himself into knots to reconcile his deeply-held Catholic beliefs with his soul-burning love for Seth. Not to mention his toxic obsession about being The Provider in their relationship.
But, I still adore him. So sue me.

Story is very intense and we finally meet Miguel!
It was so much fun to return to this book as an audiobook. It's been a hot minute (three years) since I've read this, and I've forgotten a LOT. I remember the characters as they are at the end of the series, and you could say I've forgotten their journey there. This is the book where we first meet Miguel, and the Miguel I know at the end of the series and through shorts the authors have written is not necessarily the super intimidating guy we meet here. So, I find it interesting to be going back to this book now that I've read the series and see how the characters are introduced and first come to interact with Dom and Seth.
Content notes include homomisia, bimisia, violence, gore, murder, deaths, tunnel collapse, mentions of torture, claustrophobia, forced drug use, hints of alcoholism, mentions of child sexual assault, and mentions of rape.
This book is very intense, especially if you're reading this book for the first time. I think there's a lot more moments where I could find humor in what's happening reading this the second time around only because I know where the series ends up? But the first read for this was definitely rough. Dom and Seth are on the run, and this time they have a teenager traveling with them (Mark). At this point, they've basically adopted Mark as their son. Mark has never had great parental figures, and even though Dom and Seth have never really talked about having children together, they do feel very responsible for him and I think they're a cute little family. Mark comes out of seemingly nowhere and now they're all family.
Most of this book does take place in a small border town in Mexico, and I WAS worried how the audiobook narration was going to go for this. Wyatt Baker is a fabulous narrator, so I shouldn't have worried. He's done brilliantly with the Italian, German, British, (okay maybe a little shaky) southern US accent, and I think half a second of Russian, but he has blessedly been smart to stay away from Chinese accents in book 1 and now stays away from accents for all the Mexican characters in this book. It's more of a neutral American accent for the characters and I really like that. I want to say the next two books take place in Columbia if I remember correctly, which hopefully also continues this neutral accent for. I'm really excited to hear what the voice will be for Nero and hear his scenes specifically with Miguel. And then other books will have British characters (Charlotte and Griffith) who I do hope we will have the posh British accents for. All this to say Wyatt Baker continues to do a great job with the narration and I have nothing bad to say.
So, I mentioned a character named Miguel and it does take awhile before we meet him in this book, but I forgot how SCARY he can be. The tunnel scene was scary. But reading his first encounters with Seth is unnerving. I think the one question I have about him in this series is whether or not it's possible he's asexual? He's obviously attracted to men, and I don't know if it's because he's asexual or maybe it's due to his childhood trauma that we never see him WITH anyone (that I can remember). It's already been confirmed that him and another character we meet later on will get a book together, so I'm looking forward to seeing Miguel's sexuality explored more. I've gotten confirmation from the authors that Dana IS asexual, which I really love, so it'll be interesting to see where the story goes with Miguel.
And speaking about Dana...she is out of the picture in this book. In the last book, she was left in Louisiana with the Coffin Nails motorcycle club and to find out more about what she's going through while everyone else has headed to Mexico, I would recommend reading One Step Too Close, which is book 6 in the Sex & Mayhem series. Unlike this series, you don't need to read that series in order. That book ties more closely with the events of the Guns n' Boys series than the rest of the Sex & Mayhem series in my opinion.
I think the only point I would make about this book that I found odd is how much Seth put his trust in Dom to get them to Mexico. Like, he didn't ask Dom for any of the particulars and let Dom handle everything. I thought after what happened in book 3 where Dom lost all his memories that Seth was determined to never let that happen again and to be included in all the planning. But here, we see where everything goes awry again because Seth let Dom take care of it all. So this I did find a bit confusing.
Outside of that, I do like that this series does circle back to a very important point. Here, we go back to book 1 and how Seth and Dom's relationship really began. It was NOT a pretty start. I was really surprised that we do hear Seth call what happened between them was rape and that it wasn't consensual, and this is something that Dom has to address and apologize for. It was a topic that's been hinted at from time to time throughout the books up until now, but never confronted head-on. I do like how this was handled and that Dom is greatly ashamed of his actions and truly regrets it, and apologizes to Seth for what he did. Obviously, this is a dark romance mafia series so how things are resolved between them I do find acceptable for what this subgenre is. If this was a normal contemporary romance, I would've been screaming at Seth to leave Dom. And even in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene, we do see that Dom gets tested to see if he has STDs and realizes how incredibly careless he's been with unprotected sex. This is a book of revelations. We never really see these kind of moments where a character reflects and truly regrets their actions from other dark romance books, and I think it's important to acknowledge what important moments these are in this book. So, major props to the authors for circling back to these issues.
This book does have SOME lighthearted moments where we see Dom trying to be a role model to Mark, and just seeing Mark be a teenager. I feel like this sereis is mainly dark humor, and that's my thing so YMMV. Like, I find the fact that Dom is so wholeheartedly Catholic and wants to confess to all his sins to the priest so funny? Despite all the things going on in the town, the priest is not at all prepared for Dom's confessions and how could he be? Then we see some of MY favorite characters again - Santo and Lucrezia. I think the voice Wyatt Baker chose for Santo is not quite as gruff as I associate in my mind with Santo, but it's acceptable. It's not like the man speaks much in Dom and Seth's presence. I think it's fun we get to see Santo and Lucrezia in a new light, and it's nice to see new alliances formed with the new generation. Don't quote me, but I think Santo is the oldest? So him looking on at his family of misfits (Seth, Dom, and Mark) is really funny to me. Like, he is in charge of these fools. I think he is equal parts wary and exasperated by them. Can you all tell that I just really, really like Santo?
I enjoyed this book immensely. And as intense as I found this book, I know that there's MUCH worse for our faves to come. I'm worried about all the things to come in the next book, but I can't wait to see what Wyatt Baker does with the narration and I can't wait to listen to it!
