About this listen
An exciting introduction to the Irish mob in USA Today bestselling author Lucy Monroe’s Syndicate Rules series.
Anna
The world is too loud, too bright, too everything. Until I meet him. His touch sends me to a place I’ve never been. I want more of him, bloodstained hands and all. What happens when the one person I need is the utterly ruthless boss of the Irish mob?
Cian
Some call me a psychopath. I don’t feel. Until I meet her. I need to know she is safe. Every minute of every day. I hire her to work for my legitimate business. I watch her. I crave her. I will never let her go. But I am a monster. What happens when the one person who makes me feel is pure, sweet innocence?
This is a stand alone steamy mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers. No cheating for either of the main characters.
CW: explicit intimacy, graphic violence, implied assault of secondary character, death of parents, foul language, stalking behavior.
For listeners who love morally grey heroes and devour mafia romance by authors like Cora Reilly, Michelle Heard and J.T. Geissinger.

Story
She is smart and beautiful, but there is no room in the life of a mafia underboss for tender emotions. At least that's what I thought when we got married. Six years has changed a lot, but my wife thinks I'm the same merciless man she wed. To everyone else, I am. But not to her. She'll forgive me for sending her to a fertility specialist. She has to, because I will never let her go.

A few months ago, I agreed to be my sister's surrogate. Then she died in an unsolved accident. I swore I'd keep her child and raise it on my own. But as it turns out, there was a mix-up at the clinic. Instead of carrying my future nephew... I learned I'm pregnant with my boss's child. But Dmitri isn't just my boss. He's also the one who killed my sister in the first place.

I sit on a throne of sins. Silent in the shadows, untouchable like the King of the Underworld himself. Few even know the sound of my voice, but those who fear me call me Monster. My men just call me Pakhan. To her, I am Nikolai. Her savior. Her captor. Her lover. With hair as bright as the sun, a face that could sink a thousand ships, and more curves than I can handle, Cassiopeia. Is. Everything. But she’s in danger. And safety comes with a price tag.

Story
A wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of a girl's life. For me, it was a nightmare. The man I'm promised to isn't exactly Prince Charming. And the way I ended up on this altar isn't exactly the stuff of fairy tales. You see, my family isn't like yours. My father and brother do... things... that should never see the light of day. Things like wagering me at a poker game to be the wife and baby momma of a dark-eyed devil.

He came here to find his sister, and his search led him to my dad and his friends. We both want to take them down, and the only way to do that is together. I had no idea how dangerous it would be, or that by the end of it, we'd all be covered in blood. Loving Roman is dangerous, but I can't let him go. His path is leading him straight to hell, and it looks like I'm coming along for the ride.

You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

Brillant
This author has perfectly captured what life is like for someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Anna has ASD. She applies to work for The Doyles as a receptionist. She is hired for so much more. Cian Doyle head of the Doyle Mob is a sociopath. They somehow click. There are many twists and turns. Narrators Denver Adam's and Faith Clark are able to provide various accents, with one being Irish.

Such a spectacular story!
As a mother of sons with autism, the story about neurodivergent Anna and Cian was especially beautiful to me. Faith Clark narrates Anna and does a wonderful job with the hesitancy and the little rituals that are so true to someone with ASD that help them regulate.
As for the story, it sparkles with the energy and intensity of Mob life in Chicago. Cian makes and excellent - and terrifying Mafia boss and the constellation of characters that surround him and Anna ring true. This is a gorgeous story, full of heat, passion and intensity.

Unique, Yummy, Steamy, Socially Important!
Lucy Monroe’s Syndicate Rules series introduced me to mafia romances, and now I can’t get enough of the genre. I’ve been waiting eagerly for this book in particular to be released as an audiobook. I read the book itself multiple times before listening to it, and it’s one of my all time favorites.
This is a sexy, heartfelt romance with actual mafia action and plot, rather than just a romance played out in a mafia setting. The chemistry was off the charts!!!
I fell in love with every single character. In a sea of mafia fiction and an ocean of mafia romance characters, the people in this book stood out from the beginning and remained memorable and unique months after I first read it.
The MMC is a super yummy possessive alpha mafia boss who develops a deep and endearing soft spot for the MFC. It’s instant attraction, but slow burn love. The relationship grows in such an organic, believable, beautiful way.
The MFC is, IMHO, the most important fictional character written in this century. She is undiagnosed ASD, living somewhere on the autism spectrum. Please listen to the author’s note about it at the beginning of the book. The MFC is strong, intelligent, loving, kind, insightful and loyal. Her brain is just wired differently than most people. Because of this, she’s been rejected and alienated for most of her life, The author does such a good job of bringing us into the MFC’s thought process and emotions. I fell in love with her and understood her from the start.
The MMC has an antisocial personality. He cares deeply for his family, and his loyalty is fierce. But he has difficulty feeling emotion. The first moment he sees the MFC he is intrigued, and he becomes obsessed with figuring out why she makes him feel things he’s never experienced before. From the very beginning, he feels fiercely protective of her. And even though he’s determined that she will be his forever (my ovaries were panting at his sexy possessiveness), he waits until she’s ready for a relationship with him before he acts on it. Even though he’s obsessed with her safety, he respects her privacy. As the work relationship develops, he goes out of his way to understand her specific way of processing the world and does everything he can to give her what she needs.
The MFC helps the MMC to feel and to tame his inner beast when his only way to express pain is rage. In return, he calms the chaotic overstimulation and resultant anxiety that the MFC copes with every day.
These characters and their story are absolutely precious, and they are such a breath of fresh air in a genre that is so often quite predictable.
The narrators did a good job. I notice they both seem new to audiobook performance, as both only have a few titles out. They each did a phenomenal job voicing their respective main character. Both narrators had difficulty coming up with different voices for all the secondary characters, though. But to be fair, the book does have quite a few of them, all super endearing and well developed. The female narrator, in particular, used a nasally intonation when voicing male characters, which wasn’t my favorite. Still… I give them both 5 stars in faith they will improve as they become more experienced. Despite my disappointment at not hearing well-established narrators like Teddy Hamilton or Allyson Voller, I loved this audiobook!
I hope you’ll give it a chance! You won’t regret it!

A great twist on a Mafia Boss/Employee romance
Anna starts working at Cian's legitimate business office and quickly learns that his presence has the ability to 'quiet' the parts of her world that cause her distress. Cian is a bit of a stalker, but we love him for it.
This book was really sweet. Anna had made herself a wonderful support system, despite her and her friends' circumstances. Cian only added to that, rather than restricting her. It's a nice change for the genre.
Also a nice change? The female protagonist not being put in or putting herself in danger. I quite liked that Cian worked so hard to keep Anna out of the mafia aspects of his life and that Anna actually listened to the people who know what is happening and keeping herself safe. And she did so while managing to rescue other characters from potential danger. Those scenes were so good.
Once again, the narration was wonderfully done. Denver Adams and Faith Clark really brought these characters to life.

OMG! This is one of the best mafia romances
I think it's because Cian and Anna are so different and Lucy Monroe has made it so that the reader/listener can relate and find the experience of their world from their point of view beautiful. I would love to have a sociopathic Mob boss obsessed only with me! lol. The supporting cast of characters in this world made me want to belong in a world like that - even as I keep reminding myself this was heavily romanticized. I enjoyed every scene especially the intimate ones...Cian set me on 🔥! Both Denver Adams and Faith Clark gave top-notch performances.... I loved their irish accents. They are both new to me and I enjoyed them so much I had to look for more of their work.
5 starz - I would listen again

Attn All NDs - Read/Hear This Book
Omg I loved this book. As an autistic woman who grew up not knowing, hearing Anna’s thoughts and her reactions to things are so validating and it made me feel good. I loved hearing the FMCs POV and the MMCs. Is this a dark mafia romance? Yea. Is it also so freakin sweet and cute and cozy? Also yea! the spice was great!! Doesn’t have a lot but it’s good 2 🌶️ max. The MMC is obsessed and jealous and all the things we love and the FMC loves it too lol it was great, I devoured this story and I wish there were a lot more!! ASD and ASPD love story? Give me 14 of them right now!
Premise:
FMC has ASD and lives her life navigating the struggles with that. Applies for a reception job and meets the MMC who has ASPD and is also a mafia mob boss obviously and super rich and hot and Irish. He’s got lust at first sight, she’s got calm fascination at first sight.. and it just gets better from there. The MMC is very protective and stalkery, the FMC loves it and does not resist at all lol it made me laugh cause SAMEEEE. Anywho, mob boss be doing mob boss things, FMC gains confidence and finds herself in his safety. I loved it. I wanna forget it and read it again.

Interesting Mafia Romance
This was the second book of the Syndicate Rules, and since I was reading this out of order too, I was surprised that this was about Irish Mafia. So far we have Italian, Greek, and Irish both have very little connection to each other. But I enjoy this book nonetheless. Cian and Anna are such an unlikely couple, both of them have problems with connecting to other people. Anna is autistic, and Cian is an undiagnosed sociopath, but their attraction is undeniable.
It was pretty much an instalove, Cian was smitten at first sight and started stalking Anna. She, on the other hand, is very attracted to her boss too, but was oblivious that it was reciprocated. When she found out she was being stalked, she was over the moon instead of thinking that he was creepy, but I found it cute. Especially the scene when she calms him down with her boobs🫣 Overall, it was an adorable mafia story, not too dark and a little bit on the sweeter side with an interesting side character storyline. If you’re already a fan of Lucy Monroe, or new to mafia romance, this will be a great book for you.

Both narrators are new to me, and this was the first dual-style narration audiobook for Lucy Monroe and I was lucky enough to be able to listen to this audio. I have to say Faith Clark did such a good job portraying Anna as a character with ASD, I feel like her voice was really spot on, just what I imagine Anna will sound like, blunt, a little bit awkward, and somewhat cute. The same goes for Denver Adams, I quite enjoy his voice and he did well on the Irish accent too. This was a high-quality audio and I enjoyed it immensely.
