About this listen
They call me “The Devil.”
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. And when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence and sweet, naïve heart, I thrive to show her the cruel monster I am.
This is a dark mafia romance that contains non-con/dub con, graphic violence, and sexual themes. It is not a standalone novel and ends on a cliffhanger.

Story
Dark raven hair and piercing green eyes, sweet and naive Eleanor Romero would make a beautiful bride. Ten million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold. The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most, the man who took everything from me: her father.

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.

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.

The public labels me a Mafia monster, a man without a soul, and one hated by many. They're not wrong, and I'm not sorry for it. When my father orders me to marry a longtime enemy's daughter to settle a score between our families, she did what any smart woman with a beating heart would do. She ran. So, I hunted her down. She tries to negotiate for her freedom, but despite being inexplicably drawn to the deviant woman, I refuse her pitiful bribes with pleasure. I'll promise her freedom to get the answers I need, but I'll burn this city to the ground before I let her go.

Going back and forth with this one
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Mostly because I couldn't get into the story completely. At points the MFC understands her predicament and then she doesn't. She displays strength and then in another she completely breaks. At points where she thinks she's in love with the MC just didn't make sense. It was to much back and forth and too fast to be believed. The MMC was the same way. He was using the FC for revenge but was somehow also possessive and in love with her. I felt confused trying to stay with the story.
The triggers didn't bother me as much as the story. Again, I am so unsure.
There is obviously a part 2 so maybe then it will make sense but I just don't know.

Good Listen
The only thing that I didn’t like was the female narrator. Her voice was rough and sounded like gravel. I skipped her parts, because I her voice just threw me off.

Loved! Can’t binge the 2nd fast enough.
I really don’t understand some of the less than stellar reviews on this book. First read the triggers, it’s definitely not for everyone. I loved the story, it somehow felt like a fresh take on a classic Mafia story line. The male MC will give you goosebumps in some of the spice later. A lot of people had issues with the female MC but U thought her narrator actually sounded so much like an actual internal monologue & I found her voice so perfect to listen to. Also I feel like her back and forth struggle was so understandable & realistic. Cliffhanger was KILLER! Can wait to binge the 2nd book.

male narrator can get it
loved the spicy scenes in the book. narration from both sides are well done, but I loved the male a bit more. it's def a Stockholm syndrome so if you're iffy about that don't read. about the ending I definitely wasn't expecting that so I quickly rushed to the 2nd one

The female character was too soft for me. But I guess it was her age and the way she was brought up.

Okay story
The story is pretty good. The FMC is kind of annoying and the narrator has an odd voice. Like she needs to clear her throat or something. Kind of annoying.

Female narration
The female narrator annoyed me a bit. She sounds so depressed and monotone even when she was excited there wasn't a tone difference.
