About this listen
He’s a savage.
Damien Cross treats New York City as if it’s his personal playground.
He sees.
He touches.
He conquers.
He holds the fate of my family in his hands.
And makes a deal with me I can’t refuse.
He’ll forgive my father’s debt if he can have something in exchange: me.
I promised myself I wouldn’t get addicted, but nothing is guaranteed when you make a deal with a savage.
Now this debt is my cross to bear.

Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell. After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief. So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do. Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life. That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.

Sold to the mob. Four words I never thought I'd utter. Worse, it was my father who did the unthinkable. When the creditors come to collect, I'm handed over to the most ruthless man in New York City—Luca Valentino. The head of the notorious Kings is as gorgeous as he is lethal. Dark, possessive, and violent. Nothing like the boy I grew up with, my dead brother's best friend.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Virtuous. Kind. Patient. These were words never associated with Gabriel Saint. He was a monster. The devil that haunted the city of Redhill. And he had found me. I managed to hide for a while from my past, present, and future. But I should have known they’d come looking. After all, I had the heir of the city in my arms, and if I know anything about the ruling crime family of this city, it’s that family comes before all else. When Gabriel comes for me, I fight but know it’s useless, and when he forces me to be his wife, I vow to make his life as miserable as possible.

The public labels me a Mafia monster, a man without a soul, and one hated by many. They're not wrong, and I'm not sorry for it. When my father orders me to marry a longtime enemy's daughter to settle a score between our families, she did what any smart woman with a beating heart would do. She ran. So, I hunted her down. She tries to negotiate for her freedom, but despite being inexplicably drawn to the deviant woman, I refuse her pitiful bribes with pleasure. I'll promise her freedom to get the answers I need, but I'll burn this city to the ground before I let her go.

My Angel is the one who got away—the only person in the world I love. When she is caught in an unsanctioned bank robbery in my territory, only my reputation protects her. She should have stayed away. Instead, she charges back into my life like a shining beacon in my otherwise bleak existence. She has no place in my world where hardened criminals toy with the lives of the innocent.

The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web.

Story
My future had always been set. Like a road paved by skilled builders, without bends or intersections, I walked the path my parents laid for me. My marriage to the future of The Outfit was all that mattered. I didn’t have a choice. Belonging to the world’s largest criminal organization wasn’t easy but belonging to him was. With Jacob, I’d got lucky and as a mafia princess, I couldn’t have asked for more. Jacob was beautiful and kind and the road to him was bright with sunlight and sweet with the fragrance of flowers. Until it wasn’t. Until it became dark with shadows.

Conflicted
Listened to the first 3- used a credit for book 3 because they are cliffhangers. I definitely got sucked into the story even as it became more and more outrageous.
Spiciness was flat considering the H owns a sex club. The narration also contributed to the anticlimactic scenes.
Different narrators would do these books great justice, especially the female narrator. If I wasn’t so invested in the story, I would have stopped listening because of her.
I did like that the h was strong and independent. That’s probably what kept me listening. If she was poor and desperately dependent, the storyline would basically be revolting. 🤷♀️
I did appreciated the change in H behaviors, which is to be expected with HEA endings.
So- I’m glad I got through the first three but I won’t use credits to get through the series

Cliffhanger and juvenile characters
The narrators have nice voices and the story was easy to listen to. I didn't realize (though I should have) that this story would end on a cliffhanger. Then I realized that the story of these two characters is told across three short books. I can't stand when authors do this. It's not an epic story and should have been one book.
Also, the whole premise of why she has to do this isn't believable based on the players involved. The dialog and emotions are juvenile and I just don't care enough to continue.

Yes and no on this one
The man’s voice is good but the woman could have done better.
The story is interesting but at times a little too wordy, almost like the author was trying to use big words.

Good story
This book was so spicy for sure. It had plenty of spicy moments yet it had a great plot playing through in the background. I enjoyed that the spicy scenes weren’t in every chapter but when they did happen, phew they were so good. The banter and connection between the two main characters were good, though at times a little dull. All in all I did enjoy the book a lot and I’m glad that I picked it up.

Bad Narration, good story
Female narrator was not great. She did not emphasize the correct words in the sentences and often sounded robotic. Story was good. Will continue to book 2.

Something is off
The common story line is not the problem at all. I read and enjoy a lot of cliched stories and most of all I love cliffhangers in a series so I think it’s the writing. The two main characters’ chemistry was totally off and not believable. If it hadn’t been for the narrators I would’ve never finished the book but still it was hard going. I don’t think I’ll be carrying on with the series anymore. Great cliffhanger by the way, probably best part of the book

Awesome
The story was pretty good. It was slow to start, but it picked up towards the middle. The narrators are new to me and take a little bit of getting used to. It was intriguing and kept my interest. I thought it was going to be the only book I read in this series, but now that there is a cliffhanger. I definitely have to read the next book.
