About this listen
Every killer has a weakness.
She’s the one woman I can’t have.
She’s forbidden to the Bellandi men. Yet after one look in her honey eyes, I need to carve myself into her soul so deeply, Sadie will never forget she’s mine.
Nobody else sees through her façade.
She’s a mess of contradictions. Full of jagged edges that threaten to pull me apart at the seams and unleash the beast who lurks beneath my skin.
I’ll be her shelter through the storm.
I can’t resist her fire and rebellion. But when she’s threatened by my enemies, I’ll risk everything to keep her safe from the man who seeks to use her as a weapon against me.
Even if it costs me my humanity.
Shielded Wrongs is a full-length standalone novel, but the series presents a better listening experience when following the suggested listening order. This series contains dark elements, including an over-the-top antihero who does as he pleases. Please listen at your own discretion.

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.

Story
Rafael Ibarra tore through my life like a raging inferno. Consuming every part of me he touches, he promises to show me passion and the real Ibiza. Though our tryst can never be anything but temporary, I never want to leave the man who makes me wish things were different. But there’s a nightmare hiding within his multicolored gaze, a phantom rattling at the cages who wants to devour me, to take me and claim me as his. He’s temptation, pushing me toward sin with his wicked touch. As much as I hate his secrets…I will never tell him my own.

I didn’t know Raphael Amado when he turned up on our doorstep demanding restitution for an old debt. My grandfather knew him well, though, and he quickly conceded. That restitution? Me. Six months later, Raphael came to claim me. He took me from my home, taking me to his Tuscan estate, where from the crumbling chapel to the destroyed vineyard to that dark cellar, the past stalked him like a shadow. Even the walls held secrets here, and I’d need to uncover them all to survive.

But they were the only ones who understood that sometimes hell hides in plain sight.

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.

The NHL’s been at my door since I was 18, but I’d never leave the Swedish Hockey League—not while raising my little brother. But now he’s grown, and the Carolina Reapers show up with my greatest weakness: Langley Pierce, their new head of PR. I’ve never been able to say no to her. She’s fierce, independent, and the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. She also has a stubborn streak wider than my entire country. One comment from her smart mouth about never dating again, and I propose. No, really, I actually propose.

After getting tangled up in Carnage business, it isn’t long before I'm tangled up in their sheets. They see is my blonde hair and sweet smile, and they want to dirty me up a little. I'm a splash of pink within the leather-clad army, standing out like a tampon in a condom factory. But it’s not my fault they underestimated me. I might like girly things, but I’m much more likely to spray you with bullets then sprinkle you with glitter. I could just tell them they have me labeled all wrong...but where’s the fun in that?

I had no business dating the older man who looked as though he'd stepped out of an expensive advertisement. But he was determined to have me. Wickedly sweet, Theo gently and strategically pulled me from my rut, handing me the world in the process. Growing up with nothing, I suddenly found myself with everything. More than I'd even known to dream of.

My Favorite from this series
I love this one so much, Enzo and Sadie finally meet, and their chemistry is on fire! Enzo is the tamest one out of the Bellandi men, and rightfully so, as never in a million years can he force Sadie into anything. I love the narration, as usual, Patrick did such a good to make me blush without cringing. Love this!

Enzo & Sadie
A beautiful unraveling of vulnerabilities is the only thing I can think about when I finished this story. Sadie has been a character I have wanted to know more about, she is independent, sassy and fierce. In walks Enzo and all Sadie's defenses are taken down. She remains her fiery self but we see a whole new side to her. I loved that Enzo and Sadie brought out different facets to one another. It was captivating to go along this ride with them. I think this is probably my favorite out of this series. Not to say I haven't loved and enjoyed each story because this has been the most compelling series I have indulged myself in, in a long time but Enzo and Sadie's journey is the most heartfelt and sincere. I loved it!

Difficult to finish
This was my least favorite of the series. The story seems to begin in the middle, with not much information to support why it starts out this way. Enzo is particularly stringent about Sadie, which, at times, borders on downright abusive. There is morally gray, and then there's the line where one tiptoes along the edge of incredulity and becomes highly likely to just be an unlikeable jerk, and Enzo painfully (for the listener) walks along this tightrope throughout the book. Sadie is a contradiction. The woman owns a boxing gym and teaches self defense tactics to women, but she lets Enzo treat her like some fragile doll who couldn't find her way out of a wet paper bag. She has OCD, particularly focused on messes, but she has no problem grinding on Enzo in public where other men are watching. She refuses to tell her family about her condition because she believes it will make her look weak and incapable in the eyes of her father. Again, this is a woman who teaches other women how to be confident in defending themselves. Sadie whines about Enzo "not wanting to actually sleep in the bed beside her," but then laments about men "sweating and farting in the bed." Give me a break. The plot is also shaky, and the story never answers why Sadie was being targeted.
There are some really good steamy parts, and it was interesting that a few of them were described by the male narrator. That was a nice change of pace.
I don't really care for Ms. Kelly's narration in any of the books in which she's involved, but usually, with a solid male narrator, she's tolerable. Unfortunately, the disparity in narrative abilities is too glaring to balance here. Ms. Kelly seems to believe that melodrama is the only way to differentiate when she's voicing a different character. This is evidenced by the weirdly loud and irritating voice she gives Sadie's mom. I couldn't tell if she was trying to make the woman sound like she was Filipino or from the Bronx. The books describes her as being Filipino. She also made it seem like the mother had some sort of speech impediment. The voice she gave Sadie's dad was the complete opposite. She made him sound like he was sedated or perhaps just coming out of anesthesia. Whereas Ms. Kelly's narration was frequently loud and obnoxious, the opposite is true of the narration by Mr. Zeller. Many, many times during scenes, he begins whispering, and it is too low to hear without adjusting the volume. When Ms. Kelly begins again, you can imagine the blaring assault your ears are then subjected to. I really wish there was a way to make the volume of sound more equal in the engineering of these audiobooks. I can't fault this one book for that since it seems to be a recurring issue, but it does absolutely no favors for this book's already numerous flaws.
This series has been great, and I don't believe this one unfortunate storyline will derail it, provided that the remaining 2 books return to the same technique with which the first 3 books were written. It took me over a week to finish this book because all of its issues compounded to make it convoluted, confusing, and it seemed like work to have to listen.
Bottom line: Listen to this because it _is_ part of a series that has otherwise been enjoyable, but be forewarned it seems like this story went off-roading compared to the smooth storytelling of the prior books.
