About this listen
I have lost everything - my purpose, my love, my soul. Death knocks on my door. I want to answer, but every time I reach for the handle, the promise I made her brings me back.
So I breathe. I live. I hate. And I allow the anger to boil beneath the surface of a perfectly indifferent façade.
I am broken, and I don't want to be fixed.
One last trip to New York, one last chance to redeem a lost part of the Mafia family. The Empire is crumbling, and it's my job to fix it. It's my job to mend the pieces that were scattered over 30 years ago. But the only way to fix it is to do something I swore I'd never do again: an arranged marriage. This time I won't fall. Or so help me God, I'll kill her myself.
My name is Sergio Abandonato. You think you know my pain, my suffering, my anger, my hate.
You have no idea. I am the Mafia. I am the darkness. Blood in. No out.

Story
Joyce loves Luca. Luca loves Joyce. Frank loves his family and will do anything to protect it, even if it means taking away his brother's reason for existing. Falling takes only one step, one movement of the chess piece, and in Joyce's fall she took more than just one heart with her. Go back to the beginning, where the drama of the Elect all starts. Go back to the first part of the story, where true love tried to conquer all. Where true love failed.

I'm not your typical girl. I've been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness...until Wes Michels offered to be my light. I didn't know that time wasn't my ally - that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer - each moment as it came - but it would never be enough.

Four guys. Constant moaning. And a revolving door across the college suite I somehow ended up in because my first name is Shawn. They don't discriminate. Girls. Guys. Grandmas. Plants (okay maybe not plants). All walks of life stroll in stressed to the brim and leave so satisfied I'm wondering what sort of talents lie behind that door. My roommate calls them the pleasure ponies. But the rest of the college campus? They just call them the new face of Wingmen Inc. - a paid-for-relationship service that makes big promises.

Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Story
They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron’s Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked. I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage.

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.

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...

Okay, but I Thought her Eyes were Blue?
RVD described Val as having blue eyes, Sergio described them as almost looking white....just like Luca's eyes. Then about 60% into the book, Sergio changed his mind and now she has brown eyes. Very confusing.
But, other than that....it's a great book. RVD is really starting to relax into her story. It just flows and, unlike other series, each book is getting better and better. There's a bit of sex now. Heck, I don't know if Nixon and Trace ever had sex. But, they must have because there's a baby on the way. Right?
Excellent narration. Loved that an older sounding voice was cast for Frank.

Too Fast
This love story for me happened too fast. I couldn't enjoy it. I usually wanna get to the end to see what's happened but with this one I really care. Two months and he's already over Andy. That for me is why I can't really get into this book. I give the story line 2.5 stars.
In other notes this series is amazing. Also the narrations are fantastic.

Captivating and breathtaking!!!
This mafia romance had everything I want in a romance book. This love story was powerfully moving, emotionally raw, and poignant. I was captivated by the storyline and fell in love with the characters. I adored the family scenes. They razz one another; but when needed most, they are unconditionally supportive. The journey was full of suspense, secrets and intrigue. A beautifully written love story… it was epic! Sergio and Valentina were destined for one another and it was beautiful as their story unfolded. Sergio dealing with the loss of his wife and Val their to heal him. While I thought Elude was my favorite book in this series, Empire has edged into that spot. A breathtaking love story of forgiveness, redemption and finding love when you least expect it. The narrators perfectly brought this story to life. I highly recommend this book.

Blood in. No out.
***SPOILER ALERT: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF HAVE NOT READ ELUDE***
What an amazing conclusion to Sergio's story! Elude brought us Sergio story. He had been forced to marry Andi and then had fallen so hard for her. ** spoiler alert** He was heartbroken and devastated when she passed away from leukemia.
Sergio now finds himself in the same situation but this time he is full of anger, rage and pain. Val was raised in New York. Young and innocent, she had no idea about her Mafia heritage. She is suddenly thrust into an arranged marriage with Sergio.
Empire brings us so much. Families coming together. Redemption. Mending. Pain. Passion. Mystery. More death.
Once again Rachel Van Dyken weaves an elaborate story filled with action, betrayal, love, and so much more!
Sergio is so complex that he needed two books to completely tell his story! And let's not forget that there are so many hot hot Hot times!
The family moves on as Sergio and Val move forward. This has been such a unique and fantastic way to catch up on the Eagle Elite Series. I am enjoying the audibles very much. Tom Taylorson, Keith Szarabajka and Erin Spencer do a phenomenal job in narration.
Now on to Enrage which I am so excited to listen to because I have already read the book! It was one of my favorite in the series!
Blood in. No out!

Another fantastic EE book. This is Sergio’s follow up book. I loved this book and how Sergio deals with the events from Elude. I enjoyed having new characters introduced with Dante and Val and look forward to Dante’s book

I loved it! Sergio and Val what a great story. And what an excellent job on the narration. Some books can be ruined by the reader, but this book was so enjoyable. Rachel did it again! Can't wait for Dante's story.
