About this listen

From Amazon top 40 best-selling author Giana Darling comes a dark, twisted tale of an Italian woman sold into slavery to a cold, calculating British modern-day earl with his own dark agenda….

It was the biggest day of my life.

I know most people say that about something joyous--a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their first child. My situation was a little different.

Sure, it was my 18th birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold.

Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell.

He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end.

I was his tool and his weapon.

And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.

Great story but terrible narrator

Another great story from Giana Darling. Although it was hard to continue listening to this narrator. I had to stop and read rather than listen through audible. The narrator is much much older than the 18 year old heroine.

Enthralled by Giana Darling

Tropes/Themes:
-MF dark mafia romance
-Age gap (35H 18h)
-Enemies to lovers
-Captor/Captive
-BDSM
-Singular POV
-Cliffhanger (first in a duet)

CWs for sex/human trafficking, abuse (physical and sexual), torture, dub con, nonconsensual body modification, Stockholm syndrome, anorexia (in conversation), loss of a loved one (in conversation)
^^I’m sure I missed something so be sure to do your research before diving in.

Wow…not sure how I feel about this one. I normally love super dark romances, but I just couldn’t really find anything redeeming about the hero Alex. He did a lot of things I normally find unforgiving of a hero and I couldn’t understand why Cosima fell for him as quickly as she did. I’m invested enough that I have to dive right into the second book in the duet, but I’m going in with relatively low expectations.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of the audiobook. Her “Italian” accent wasn’t consistent and I didn’t like the way she voiced the men. I’m hoping that the audiobook experience for book 2 will be better. It’ll have dual narration, so hopefully that will outweigh the female that it’s the same female narrator.

Needs A Male Performer

Scarlett Day is very good but this book needs a male Brit to perform the European parts. Sorry. Too much violence and sex, but hey, the book is about human trafficking so... guess it goes with the territory. Will I buy the 2nd book? No. I know the issues will all be resolved but the last 15 minutes of Enthralled didn't entice me enough to want to listen to more.

Enthralled

I loved this story! It was amazing being able to see more into this family and this wonderful woman that is Cosima. I loved every second of the story, however the British accent that the narrator portrayed was quite… different. All in all I loved it and I can’t wait to finish this duet!

I Really Tried…..

Could not get very far. The narrator doing too many parts just dragged it down🤷‍♀️
I love Giana’s writing style and her characters, but for me it all comes down to narration for ‘ Audio’ books!

I couldn’t finish it…

I really tried to give this a chance, tried picking it back up multiple times but between the narrator and the actual story it was a big no for me.

Death Penalty

this is NO redemption, forgiveness and/or compassion for a man who purposely kidnaps, rapes, physically and psychologically tortures a teenager for revenge against another. regardless of how he attempts to redeem himself. Death penalty. and to anyone who finds this sexually arousing needs therapy. asking for every dime back. 🤢

Terrible narrators

The story felt like it was rushed, she gave in too quickly I don’t have any problems with what happened in the story as. I’m an avid reader of dark romance, and have no triggers,so I’m not too concerned, what bothered me is that the story made no sense, maybe it’s because I listened to the audio book and the narrator sounded like a 50 year old person, when the heroine is supposed to be 18 , narrator’s gives and takes a lot away from a story the male was terrible his voice just didn’t do it , the story is probably good, but I didn’t enjoy it because of the narrators , and for that I would not recommend the audio version, it was painful to listen to

Disappointed

This book was awful, the reader, story, everything. I got to chapter 5 and I can’t listen any longer.
