Publisher's summary

Love is the deadliest lie.

I never meant to start a war....

Then I fell for the boy my mother warned me about.

To me, he was Matty.

To the world, he was Mateo Cortes, soulless killer for the Carrera Cartel.

We were the virgin and the villain.

The debutante and the devil.

He swore we'd end in ruin.

I swore love would conquer all.

I was wrong.

One costly mistake and I’m given 30 seconds to decide my fate….

Inmate or informer.

Four years ago, I ran for my life.

Now, I’ve returned to claim it.

My devil will come for me….

And God help anyone who gets in his way.

A Dark Mafia Romance!

This is the second book in The Carrera Cartel Series, a dark mafia romance. I love this Series! Leighton/Star and Mateo's second chance to love is captivating. Mateo is alpha, dark, and secretive. I loved him! Leighton, Brody's sister, is strong and determined. They share a sizzling chemistry. I loved to see again the characters from the first book. The cast of supporting characters is impressive. The storyline is suspenseful, and fast-paced, filled with danger, intrigue, lies, and twists and turns. The world building is enthralling. Aaron Shedlock and Sarah Puckett did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Brody's story in Drawn Blue Lines, the next book in the Series. I HIGHLY recommend this Series. #PinkFlamingoProduction #TheFlock #AudiobookObsession

Against all odds!!

If you want a story that will grab your from the fist page and hold on to you then this is the book for you!

Girl trying to make her way out heart break ☑️
Badass that has a chip on his shoulder and is number 2 of badass cartel ☑️

This story is good at keeping you in the edge of your seat trying to find out what happens next.

This book is a stand alone but I would have love to listen to book 1 to have a better understanding of the inner workings but over all I didn’t miss much

Deception and Love

Title: Faded Gray Lines
Author: Cora Kenborn
Format: Audio
Narrators: Sarah Puckett, Aaron Shedlock
Genre: Romance, Suspense, Mafia, Second-Chance, Dark
Standalone: Yes but I highly recommend reading book 1 Blurred Red Lines first
Part of a Series: Book 2 of the Carrera Cartel
POV: Leighton and Mateo
Steam Level: Hot
5/5

From the start Faded Gray Lines sucks you in. When Leighton accidentally kills her boyfriend, she calls her brother for help, who in turn calls in the Carrera Cartel to help protect her. Add in a DEA agent who is after the cartel and holds her secret against her and all hell breaks loose. I figured out he secret pretty early on but I had no idea where the next threat would come from. Cora Kenborn weaves together a story of lies and deception, layers upon layers of it. Where you don't know who you can trust or what people are really saying. Add in the hurt and betrayal of Mateo and Leighton's past and this is an emotional rollercoaster with dark elements. I loved how this book worked out and Leighton's strength. I love that the female characters in this series are just as ruthless, if not more so, than their Cartel men. They are strong, fierce fighters who are independent and give the men in their lives a run for their money. I cannot wait to read Brody's story in Drawn Blue Lines. My reading experience has show that mafia books are hit or miss but Faded Gray Lines and the Carrera Cartel series is a fantastic, fast-paced and bloody ride full of love, violence, deception and loyalty. No one is who they seem, danger is everywhere and love wins out.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Heart pounding

This is the second book in this series by Cora Kenborn. She wrote well with a great storyline and characters to love and hate. This standalone is Mateo and Leighton's story, a second chance at finding love. The twists and turns kept me glued to the story. Loved seeing new characters as well as characters from book one.

Aaron Shedlock and Sarah Puckett are great narrators. Both being favorite narrators of mine. The book rolled like a movie in my head. Excellent performances!

more betrayals

The more I got into this the more invested I became. It was captivating watching the multilayered storyline peeled away piece by piece until the truths were bared for all to see. The characters are compelling and drew me in and kept me a willing hostage. Some truths are too brutal and shocking. The suspense at the end was palpable and had me reeling!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrators did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

Enjoyed getting into the Carrera Cartel world!!

Being new to the Carrera Cartel world I've been so looking forward to getting into it! Having picked up Ms.Kenborn's work before as well had me looking forward to it even more! As soon as i found out about this audiobook I knew i had to listen to it first! I started it as soon as i could and it pulled me in! I enjoyed this listen!

Having listened to both Aaron Shedlock and Sarah Puckett's narration before i could not contain my excitement for this! I loved what Aaron and Sarah brought to this story as Mateo and Leighton! These two narrators capture characters perfectly with their narration and truly bring them to life.

Mateo and Leighton's journey isn't an easy one. I so enjoyed the fact that these two had a history and how i wasn't sure what all to expect in their story. I felt so many things with these two throughout listening as well!

With Faded Gray Lines, Ms.Kenborn has created such a good story that will most definitely pull you in! I can't wait to go back and listen to the first book, Blurred Red Lines! I can't wait to listen to more of Aaron and Sarah's narration as well! If you haven't listened to these two you are so missing out!

Consuming

This read was all consuming with the story of Mateo and Leighton. Mateo associated with the cartel and Leighton the daughter of a politician. This book was full of twists and turns and feels and secrets and had me longing for more and needing to know how this was all going to turn out. The narrators did an amazing job and had the perfect voices/accents for the characters.

Dark Second Chance Mafia Romance

Faded Gray Lines by Cora Kenborn is a dark mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Sarah Puckett.

This is the second book in the Carrera Cartel series and each book can be read as a standalone. However, it’s recommend to read them in order to avoid spoilers.

This is the second book of Cora’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the second chance romance between Leighton and Mateo. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series Drawn Blue Lines to be released on audio so I can get Adriana and Brody’s story.

Aaron and Sarah did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend his book to anyone who loves mafia/cartel romances, dark romances, second chance romances, or romantic suspense.
