About this listen

Once upon a time, there was a girl who stopped believing in fairytales after her innocence was stolen.

Morgan Myers is tired. So damn tired. Most people either push her around or brush her off, and she's not putting up with it anymore. Determined to reclaim the life that had been stolen from her, she puts her trust in the last person she ever expected to: the notorious Scar. Morgan sees a side of him that few people seem to know - the man, not the myth. Lorenzo. And what she sees, she likes, a lot more than she thought she would.

But fairytales aren't real, as life likes to remind her. Some dragons, you just can't slay, no matter how hard you fight them. And when hers comes back around, breathing fire, she's forced to face some unimaginable horrors. But lucky for Morgan, there's a white knight in combat boots out there that isn't afraid of monsters.

You see, it's impossible to be afraid of something you face every day in the mirror.

Contains mature themes.

The perfect dark romance!

The second one does not disappoint either!
The banter is fantastic! The ending perfect!

This duology jumped to the top of my dark romance faves and I will definitely be following this author (and the narrators as well!)

“The trouble with trouble is that it doesn’t always look like trouble!”

The following ratings are out of 5:
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Romance: 💚🖤💙❤️💜
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍
Character development: 😌😎🙃😮🤐

The heroine: Morgan (a.k.a. Scarlet) - at the end of Menace we found out the truth of her past with Cassian Aristoff, the Russian mob boss.

The Hero(es): Lorenzo Gambini (a.k.a. Scar) - Lorenzo Gambini is over the top hilarious. He is a killer and a sociopath with absolutely no fear and says the most hysterical things in such a deadpan manner.

The Story: Lorenzo and Morgan are now a ‘thing’ though it hasn’t been defined exactly what they are. Morgan is still terrified and terrorized by Cassian Aristoff and Lorenzo wants to get him off her back once and for all, though it is a delicate situation since Cassian has a hostage and killing him might mean never finding her.

Like the first book this one was told in dual points of view with dual narration. Narrated by Kasha Kensington and Iggy Toma who both do a great job and have pleasant voices that are easy to listen to. This book is as good as or better than the first. Lorenzo is sexy, dangerous and hilarious AF. He is a lovable sociopath for certain. Every other review I read mentions how much the readers love Lorenzo. You just have to love all his little quirks and quips.

“There’s no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Pretty Boy. Life isn’t magically delicious. The consequences of breaking a mirror is that your goddamn mirror is now broken.”

“If you’re measuring, fellas, to see which of you has the biggest cock,” I say, “I can end this easily by telling you it’s neither one of you jackasses, because nobody has a bigger cock than I do, so sit the fuck down before I’m forced to whip it out.”

“Whoa buddy!” I say, letting out a laugh as the detective scrambles to pull himself together. His pants are down around his ankles, damn near tripping him, his awkwardly hairy ass on display. “Might wanna shave that shit, Sasquatch.”

“Long story,” I lie. It’s sort of a simple one—my closest guy betrayed us, turning into a bigger rat than Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter. Yeah, whatever... you’re wondering how I know who that is, huh? Truth is, my brother’s got a nerdy side. He read the books as a kid, wouldn’t shut up about it.

“Just one night of that sleep would probably cure me of every problem I have. I’d wake up the next morning feeling like Mr. Rogers, welcoming motherfuckers to my neighborhood.”

One other reason I like Lorenzo is because he is human. He was beaten with a shovel when he was younger and has a scar across his face and is blind in one eye. He suffers from insomnia and migraines. He needs Scarlet despite not wanting to admit it. He is also very nice to her and does nice things for her.

Loved these two

Almost stopped listening after the first few chapters but kept going and absolutely fell in love with these characters and the narrators. Full of humor and quirkiness I couldn’t get enough and would love to see more books with them

Amazing

The second portion of the series is just as good as the first. Still breaking the 4th wall and still with irreverent humor during Lorenzo's parts.

The love Lorenzo and Morgan have isn't for everyone, after all he is rather insane and likes to antagonize her, but she gives just as good as she gets.

One thing that bugged me though was how stupid Morgan was while being held. She claimed that she would never be broken but there is a difference between being broken and being stubborn to the point of being suicidal.

Once again the narrators were amazing in their voices.

Just As Good As the Part 1 ❤️❤️

Book 2 was just as good as the first. This one had some twists that I didn’t see coming! Love how the second book wrapped up everything. With some romance books I feel like you don’t get a ton of backstory with the characters and you feel like you don’t get to know them as well. These books I felt like I really knew Lorenzo, Morgan, even some of the others! The one downside is that I would have loved to see what happened to Seven after everything that went down! Maybe he will appear in his own story one day?? Anyway, I would definitely pick these books up again in the future. 5 stars!! ❤️
