About this listen

I rescued her because I had to. I fell in love with her because she gave me no choice.

Roman Costas: Powerful. Intensely private. Cold. Dangerous.

When he unwittingly puts an innocent woman in danger, he does something he never planned. Becomes involved. He didn’t anticipate the feelings Effie Warner brought out in him. He didn’t expect the woman he rescued to become his world. All he knows is that he’ll burn down the city to keep her safe. No matter the consequences.

The suspenseful finale in Men of the Falls duet by New York Times Bestselling author Melanie Moreland.

Swoony Romantic Suspense

Roman Costas was raised to be a leader. His father tried to drill the humanity out of him and his brother and although he wasn’t successful, Roman was left with a skewed vision of himself.

“Men like me don’t love.”

When Roman inadvertently puts Effie in the line of danger, he jumps in to rescue and keep her safe.

“He took. He ordered. He commanded, and he got what he wanted.”

Effie is strong, smart and beautiful. She doesn’t want to settle, she wants a real love and a full life and has to convince Roman that he can have it all too. I listened to most of this on audiobook and loved the narration!!

Gripping and entertaining

I could not wait to read Roman after the ending of Aldo. It was everything I was expecting and so much more.

I don’t normally gravitate to stories where characters are morally grey, but Melanie Moreland’s writing is so compelling that I knew I had to read these books.

Roman Costas co owns The Maple, an elite Casino and hotel in Niagara Falls with his brother Luca. He is a man who knows what he wants and has no hesitation in going after it, no matter the consequences, whether it be on the right or wrong side of the law.

When his actions inadvertently put Effie Warner in danger, he knows he will do whatever is necessary to keep her safe. Roman is such an arrogant, stubborn man but underneath is a man who cares deeply.

I loved these characters, there is so much more to Roman than the man he shows the world and Effie sees beneath the surface. She can give as good as she gets and isn’t afraid to stand up for herself.

The performances by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane were wonderful. Their voices are easy to listen to and they did justice to the characters and the story Ms. Moreland wove. They brought out the passion, danger and emotions that Roman and Effie went through and I was riveted to their performances.

Roman is a well written, emotional, romantic suspense story that is fast paced and will draw you in and hold you captive until the last word is read.

Superb!!

Giving this audiobook 5 stars does not even come close to telling the listeners how phenomenal this audiobook was. From the opening to the very end the listener is taken on another Melanie Moreland ride that is filled a beautifully written story, filled with characters that we will all fall in love with and then add in just the right amount of spark and angst to keep us all on our toes. Ms. Moreland has a knack for sucking the listener in and not letting them go. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell were outstanding!! This series will be one that will be listened to again and again. Superb!!

Canadian Mafia is here!

Aldo and Roman are both live now- and if you’ve not met the Canadian mafia you better buckle up, because these men are dark and dreamy. Two stories, two Canadian morally grey mafiosos, and ALL of that Melanie Moreland magic. The tension, the suspense, the twists, the CHEMISTRY. These two books were addictive- and Melanie knows how to write the most mesmerizing alpha, possessive, protective leading men who are brought to their knees ONLY by the fiery woman that capture their hearts. I love Melanie men, and I loved this world. With a bit of suspense to parallel the romance, these both were fast-paced, and the audios were both amazingly performed.

Roman ~ Effie

Roman and Effie’s story is full of ups and downs, laugh-out-loud moments, and one fiercely protective hero.

Roman has always been well respected and revered. He is happy with his life the way it is until Effie is thrown into the mix and turns his entire world upside down.

Roman and Effie’s journey starts unconventionally and slowly grows from there into something genuine and loving. I love the banter between everyone and watching Roman, this big powerful man, become so thrown off-kilter while he falls for and becomes supremely protective of Effie, is so much fun. I also love the found family dynamics with Roman, Aldo, Nona V and the rest of their family.

🎧 John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a fantastic job, yet again, bringing the whole story and characters to life. These two narrators are perfect together.

Roman and Effie are amazing

Roman and Effie, what a couple. I love this side of Melanie’s world, a little more dark but not so dark. Roman so serious, protective of his family and focus on his business. Then Effie came to his life and changed everything, everything. He lost his mind for her, started to have feelings for someone not family, is a little overprotective because he didn’t know how to handle the attraction. I love how Aldo teasing him in every chance he gets. And specially the humming song lol. I love it so much. I love the connection between Effie and Vi. All the twists and turns are just perfect. The audiobook was freaking perfect. Th performance amazing and the narrators did an excellent job. I love this story and want more books like this one from Melanie, please and thank you.

Gripping romance suspense

This is the concluding installment of Melanie Moreland's Men of the Falls duet, and I was captivated by the gripping plot and the intricate characters. Roman Costas, a character with a complex blend of ruthlessness and hidden vulnerability, became an unexpected protector to Effie Warner, leading to an intense and unforeseen romance. The audiobook, brought to life by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane, added a rich layer to the story, with their voices perfectly capturing the depth and nuances of the characters' emotions. The blend of suspense and romance and the transformative journey of love and self-discovery made this a memorable listen. It's a testament to Moreland's storytelling prowess, making it a standout in the romantic suspense genre.

Another great one!

This was a great listen, I couldn’t stop listening. Wish there was more in the series. Was hoping for a longer storyline with the psycho sister, what a piece of work! Overall, loved this series.
