About this listen

Dangerous and feared.

Those words describe my future husband. Who just so happens to also be my ex-boyfriend.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again.

Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

I’m going to be a mafia wife. And there’s only one way out of it. Death.

But as it turns out, someone else doesn’t want me to marry the ruthless Luca Bianchi. And if he has his way, I’ll see that early grave.

Due to mature content and themes, this audiobook is recommended for listeners aged eighteen and over. Code of Silence is an arranged marriage and a complete standalone. This novel may contain triggers.

I enjoyed the story. However, I think it needed more . Loved Luca and his darkness as well as his demeanor. Haven however I thought she came too childish at times and the patient Luca had for her.

Luca

The start to the dive into the universe of the dark kingdom and meeting the big players in this world. The performance of this story was great, both narrators did very well bringing Luca and Haven to life. This story sets us up for the rest of the series!

The start of something good

This was a little disappointing to be honest! The story was alright but it was really predictable and the spice was mediocre at best. Def expected more!

Good not great

🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

~Code Of Silence~The Dark Kingdom Book 1~Shantelle Tessier~

~Duet Narration~Gideon Frost & Alexis Paige~

“That’s the scary thing about love; it blurs the lines of right and wrong.”

~I am so happy that I finally started this series after becoming obsessed with the lords this is exactly what I needed! The narration for this book was great! Code of Silence was the perfect start to the Dark Kingdom world I know I will get stuck in! Code of silence is a dark mafia romance that follow Luca & Haven & their twisted path to the love they both deserve. If you love a good dark mafia romance with a forced marriage trope & a second chance at love this is the book for you!~

~As Always Happy Reading~

Luca & Haven

Tessier can write a great story, so I’m going to stick with this to see if book 2 grabs me.

But UGH - I seriously did not like the lead characters in this. Especially the FLC. She’s a complete brat.

Not 100% sold on this…

Luca never told Haven that he didn't sleep with 5 women or that he was celibate while they were apart. Good story, lacked more questioning from Haven as a women who was hurt by the man she loved and a little unrealistic. Also, instead of having the FMC keep saying, "What's going on" more than 3x which is super is infuriating, how about have her use her brain to say something something clever.

GIDEON is the man!!! Love listening to his voice, never disappoints. He was PURRRFECTION!!!

I’ve read this series prior and decided to do the audio in order to refresh in prep for the next book in the Spade brothers series.

Good Narration
