About this listen
He'd kidnapped her to protect her. To protect his son. To reclaim what is his. But now, she's a pawn in a dangerous mafia war that won't end until his rivals take out him and his heir.
Tristan Callahan disobeyed the family when he didn't honor the arranged marriage to a rival family's princess. The transaction would have put decades of war to peace; instead, the opposing families are doubling down, and a third crime family has been dragged into the mix.
Attempts are made on Tristan's life, but the efforts to put an end to his lineage don't stop there. He's made a huge mistake, and he's not the only one who will pay the price. Narrowly escaping one danger only to face another soon leads loyalties to be questioned, but Tristan's blindsided when he discovers how deep the betrayals run.
He can't trust anyone or anything, not even his heart. But with Adriana finally coming around to see things his way, and her willingness to atone for the sins of her past, nothing can stop him from making her his queen. At least that's what he thinks, until the unthinkable happens
Fans of Elle Kennedy, Anna Huang and Lauren Asher will enjoy this spicy, dark romance!

Las Vegas, city of light and sin. I want to see it all and make wonderful memories. My name is Paige. A future is opening up for me. I know the worst is finally behind me. And I intend to make the most of it. But fate can be devious, can't it? And ...

Story
The greatest mistake Ember made was to step foot in my school. The instant the rumors started, I marked her as mine. It's only natural I became curious about the new girl. She took someone's position in this academy. Someone important to me. And now, she has to pay. The only way for her to survive is to find out the dirty little secrets I keep to myself. I watch the pleasure spark in her eyes as she searches. The desire to participate in my particular...tastes. If she's not careful, I might capitalize on that curiosity, and I'll squeeze her heart until it bleeds.

Story
As newspapers reported in the 1890s, a woman dubbed "Shakespeare" was found dead in a seedy hotel along the waterfront by Manhattan’s South Street Seaport. The chilling scene recalled for press and police alike Jack the Ripper’s victims in London. Panicked New Yorkers worked feverishly to halt that maniac’s spree from expanding across the Atlantic. The city only sighed relief after detectives abruptly arrested a traveling Algerian ex-soldier for the crime.

Suspenseful!
This was my first Clarissa Bright's book, and won't be my last. This is the first installment in the Bound by Bloodlines Series. This is a great start to the series. Tristan and Adriana's story is entertaining, action packed, and suspenseful. This is a great start to the series. Tristan is handsome, and protective. Adriana is naive, but strong, and determined. They are opposites attract. The world building is captivating. The supporting characters are intriguing. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I am looking forward to listening to Shattered Crown, the next book in the series, to know what happens next. Michael Knight did a great job bringing this story to life.

I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars overall
This was my 1st story by Clarissa Bright, and I left it wishing I had eyeball read this instead of listening to it. The story was okay, but I found it to slow at first, and then a little chaotic in the pacing as the story progressed towards the end. The narrators was also new to me, but I had a terrible time dealing with his FMC voice, and when narrating the MMC it often felt as if every word was uttered as slightly louder than a whisper. This ended on a cliffhanger, but I think I'll get my hands on a physical copy to finish the story.

Awesome Beginning !!!
By the very talented author Clarissa Bright and the marvelous narrator Micheal Knight comes the beginning of a great series. Warring families in the mafia world. Betrayal, lies and arranged marriage all lead to a world of mistrust and deceit. The suspense keeps you glued as mistakes and betrayals escalate. I cannot recommend this audiobook high enough.
