About this listen
After a decade spent claiming a throne for himself in the seething violence of the criminal underbelly, all Donatello Vanici craves now is peace.
Only a union forged between his heir and the most powerful mafia family in existence could ever be strong enough to end the bloodshed for good, but the Stepanov head resists his overtures at every turn...
Until tragedy strikes, and forces Donatello’s hand.
Haunted by a past that dogs her every thought, Willow Stepanov will do anything for the man who adopted her — until a chance encounter with the enemy lands her right in the middle of a dangerous power struggle and a war that grows more violent and vicious each day.
But it's not just her future her captor holds hostage.
He is a man with nothing left to lose — while she may just lose everything.
Her life, her family, and her heart…
Mice and Men is a new stand-alone series in the War of Roses Universe.

Repayment comes in the form of a beautiful but haunted young woman. The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. I want to hurt her. I want to break her. I want to keep her. Luckily for Celia, she fails to see that there is no goodness in me.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

I chose to marry him and live. But there’s one small problem with his grand plan to rain Armageddon on the Mexican Cartel. I’m not the woman he thinks I am. I’m not the cartel princess he thinks he took to make his enemies bow to him. When my captor finds out my secret and realizes he married the wrong woman, love won’t be enough to save me. And neither will his obsession.

I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well. Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit. In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened. Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun. He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half. He was forbidden. Wrong. So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself. Until we’re forced to get married.

But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim...not anymore. The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t. He intrigued me. And I intrigued him. He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim...not anymore. The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t. He intrigued me. And I intrigued him. He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me.

Story
Since moving to Mystic Harbor, Maine, I've made it my life's mission to avoid Reese Blackburn at all costs. Sure, he has cheekbones that could cut glass, not to mention bedroom eyes that could melt any girl into a puddle on the floor. Too bad that doesn't change the fact he's completely stab-worthy. When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

Story
My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

Dark, Intense & Fiercely Consuming
Dark, intense and fiercely consuming, this book snared me in its seductive web, made me more than happy to be there and it left me desperate for the next book. Just in case you are unaware, this series is a spin-off of the War of Roses trilogy but can be easily enjoyed all on its own. However, in my opinion you will have a deeper and richer reading experience if you do enjoy that series first, simply because characters do reappearance and of course that is where we originally meet Willow/Mouse. There is a skillfully crafted and potent blend of deep emotions, tension, turmoil, drama and angst flowing seamlessly across every page and that delivers an intriguing and addicting start to a series that I need more of STAT!!! If you love your reads gritty, raw and with wicked sharp edges, you are going to need to dive in NOW! I loved the dual narration and I'll freely admit it is my preferred format. For me personally, it just makes it easier to get into and stay connected with the book. I thought both performances were excellent and I thought the actors voices fit the characters nicely.

Love it!
I love the dual narration and hearing all of the male voices from a male actor, and female voices from a female actor. It made the dual POV book so much better! I great story and continuation of the War of Roses Universe. I can't wait to see how this series continues. I just love Don and Willow!

Entertaining Audio Version
I am a fan of this book and had the pleasure of listening to the audio. Ruthless King has dual narrators. Something I didn't know I enjoyed until listening to this book. Like all Lana Sky books, this is a fast-paced gripping tale. Looking forward to audio for book 2.

SADLY DISAPPOINTING - female narrator
I’m so disappointed with this audiobook because I found Cordelia Diamond’s narration aggravating.. her fluctUatIng high pitch in hEr words totAlly ruinEd the duet-stYle dual POV narrAtion. The hero (.. not!) sold Safiya, his 12 year old mute Ward, to a very bad man after his world collapsed absolutely knowing what would be in store for her.. rape, abuse and death but he sold her and kept his nephew. However, what he doesn’t know is that she wasn’t abused because she was quickly sold to a caring Russian Mafia Don and absorbed into his loving family with a new identity. Haunted for 7 years by what he’d done, Donatello never forget little Safiya and the brutal death she must have endured because of him.. however, his focus has centered around his aspirations for his protégé nephew and going straight. So, when he comes face-to-face with an angry young silent woman clutching a knife aimed directly at him maybe pretending to be a vengeful Safiya, his anger flares and he does bad bad things to make her talk. And what follows is a clusterfu*k of bad decisions, hate, tears, fear and bloody revenge.
There is no romance or chemistry at this stage.. it’s an introduction to the brittle and damaged characters, their backstory and their clashing.. and it might have been a good first step into an age-gap Mafia four-part journey.. she’s 19. However, I won’t be following the cliffhanger ending by looking for Book 2 because the female narrator made this a painful listen. And, I love an alpha, dark, bad-boy anti-hero but Donatello Vanici just wasn’t likeable at all.
Worth a credit? IMO, and it IS only my opinion, no.. however the book version may be better.

I'm going to try to finish
If I'm being 100% honest the female narrator ruined this book for me unfortunately. she doesn't sound natural and i did try differentspeeds. It's almost like she's singing her parts. This is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
