About this listen

Coming soon from USA Today best-selling author Jenika Snow is a brand-new full-length gritty Mafia romance that blurs the lines between right and wrong...and love and hate.

He didn’t have a heart...but he wanted hers.

All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed.

I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive.

And then I saw her. She was a fragile little thing who tried to be strong. But I could tell she’d seen too much horror in the world, too much of the ugly within people. I should have stayed away. I’d only bring her further down into the darkness. But for the first time in my life, I felt a stirring in my chest, this protectiveness and possessiveness toward another living person. And it was painful. It made me feel alive.

Lina tried to hide how broken she was, but I was an old friend of being ruined. She held secrets I’d find out. Because for the first time in my miserable life, I wanted something for myself. I felt something more than apathy and indifference.

I wanted to possess the innocence she clung to. I wanted to break it open and consume it for myself. I could look into her too trusting blue eyes and knew I’d maim for her. I’d kill for her. And that became our truth when her past finally came back for her, when my present tried to destroy her.

They thought they could take the one thing - the only thing - I’d ever wanted for myself. They were wrong.

When I looked at her, I felt some of the monster that made me who I was retreat back to my black soul. He’d never leave...but he’d share the space.

For her.

A complete stand-alone novel in the Underworld Kings series.

Great audio book

Both of the narrators in this book did a wonderful job. The story was dark enough to make the whole thing not cheesy. The sex scenes were very hot. Two thumbs up!!!

Awesome

Part of the Underworld Kings series and can be read as a standalone and I loved it. This dark mafia romance will heat up your evening. If you don’t like filthy dirty men and the women who love them, then I would recommend not picking this up, but you would be missing a read of a lifetime. Loved Arlo and Lina. They meet when Lina is running from her dad’s decision to make her his debt payment. He is her savior even though he has his own dark past. Loved the chemistry between them. Great listen.

Intense mafia romance!

The narrators, J.F. Harding and Stella Hunter, were amazing, I totally loved how they portrayed the main characters. Especially J.F. with Arlo’s gritty voice and his Russian, enough to need a fan to cool me down.

Arlo has been tempted by Galina as no one else has. He wants to make her his but first he has to protect her from even badder men than him. Well, being in the mafia does that to you.

I loved the fact that she brings out the gentleness in him, that he is overcome with emotions just for her, she makes him see the world just a little bit different.

Worth the credit or the $$!

I first read the kindle copy when it was released and loved the story. Arlo is a bad man, but the monster was slightly tamed by the love he had for Galina. The narrators were both very good and I loved the dis narration, it just brings the story to life.

SO HOT!

🥵🥵🥵 OMFG!! This was damn good! Loved the story, characters, relationship development, and the super spicy scenes! I love it when everything comes together so well for an intense payoff, like the best O after some amazing foreplay. Bonus for Russian speech 😘

story brought to another level

I read this book before listening and I have to say the audiobook brought this book to another level. I was very impressed with the narrators they brought this wonderful book to life for me . I am never disappointed with anything Jenika writes. If you enjoyed reading the book this is definitely worth the credit even if you didn't read it first . I will be listening to this one again.

Intense, Hot & Swoon Worthy

I really enjoyed this book. The story quickly captured my interest and held it firmly. I thought Arlo was 100% pure swoon worthy. On the surface he is all still waters, coldness, hardness, brutality and a laser focus that in no way prepares you for intensity of the desire that Lina inspires in him. And oh, that naughty, naughty mouth! WHEW! As for Galina, I liked her a lot. She was a spunky and scrappy. I do admit though that sometimes her actions could be frustrating and annoying. I could understand where it was all coming from though. But still, it was what it was. Together, these two were simply incendiary!! The burn might be slow but the flames are scorching hot!! A smartly crafted blend of raw emotions, drama, tension and danger was smoothly seductive and made a dark irresistible romance that I absolutely loved! Dual narration on this book, which I am always appreciative of. I found both voices quite pleasing and most importantly I felt they fit the characters well. The overall performance was excellent and really helped immerse me in this amazing story.

Not so cold hearted afterall

I love Jenikas books. She writes strong dominant men but just as equally fierce FMCs. I loved how Lana protected herself and did what she needed to get away from her danger only to find herself loving a man who personifies that very danger. Yet Arlos danger is toward others and would burn the world down for her. That’s the kind of danger she needs. A positive powerful danger to the outside world that can keep her safe. I was happy that this story had a build to their ultimate relationship and the spice that comes with it. It really helped build that bond between them and created a passion. I love that these 2 broken people found solace in each other and mended them as one.
