Stunning to kick off a new series

This did a very rare thing and surprised me. I almost go into Mafia books and expect the heroine to be meek and naïve, at least at the start, but Amelie had a backbone and knew how to use it. Not that she didn't go through it, because she did, and Luca didn't always do right by her, but if you're looking for a mafia story with a strong heroine, fast paced action and a hefty does of possessive alpha? Then you need to pick this up. I'm VERY interested in continuing this series. For real. I volunteered to listen and review an early copy of this on audio (narrated by the delectable Jacob Morgan and a favourite of mine Stephanie Rose) and all opinions are my own.

Dark Mafia Standalone Romance

This is Amelie and Luca's mafia dark romance with an arranged marriage to top it off. Amelie is a character that will wreck your heart, Luca is the bad by that will give you a whiplash. This couple is one you will not see up or down until it is all done. I like the fast-paced, the story kept me intrigued, I got the audiobook narrated by Stephanie Rose and the talented Jacob Morgan, so I was in for a treat, and it was delicious, one I recommend getting.

Jacob Morgans voice is swoon worthy

I just re listened to this book in preparation for the next two. as before I wish there was more of Jacob Morgans voice, he sounds so hotting. I'm not going to lie, while the Stephanie did a good job voicing the different characters, I did find her a little robotic when shes describing a setting or voicing the inner monologue. I did enjoy the book for the second time, it's every bit as good as the first time.

Get ready to fall in love 😍

I want a Luca !! I love his auntie Paloma soo much she just made me laugh and cry. Especially when she took care of Amelie...no spoilers why. She the mother hen of the family and she is showing Amelie what a family truely is. Which I love about this story what a loving family even in a mafia world and HOT fast love story.

Amelie is such a story heroine I loved her straight away and she was a wild child. She is a full match to Luca and she fights her feeling with every tooth and nail. But when she found out about their wedding vows...no spoilers but it cause a series of events & exposing feelings for one another 🔥

Luca is just Luca 😍🔥 He loves Amelie and he does show it in a good way and the wrong way. Especially what he did to protector her but he should have explained it to her and not lock her away...no spoilers but my heart broke when Luca went in that room...you can feel his regret and fear that he truely lost their love.

What I really love about Luca he shows his feeing with action NOT words. Which is what Amelie needed. They are made for each other you can feel it off the page and when they clash together its🔥💥❤

☆MUAT READ & FAV & Listen☆
Aiden & Gemma BRING IT ON🔥
So far I am loving both characters and I can not wait to learn more about them!
We still have murder mystery to solve...no spoilers

🎧 Audiobook
Narrated by Stephanie Rose and Jacob Morgan. Fantastic pick there voices bounce off each other nicely. Them intense scenes were amazing and my imagination even went more wild. The scen that broke my heart to listen to was when she was locked in her room...no spoilers on why and what happened in that room...

A good story

I enjoyed this story and it was well written. It wasn't too dark like some of the mafia books I've precious enjoyed. It has a happy ending.

The narrators were great.

A solid okay

The story was fine the couple not very believable. The male narrator great but not so much the female she was stilted and the accents awful
It was an okay read but I don’t care enough to continue with the series

Wasn't sure what to expect.

the story itself is intriguing with twists and turns you wouldn't see coming. narration is good, having both male and female voice actors. now I can't wait to get into the next book.

Amelie and Luca!

Amelie has always known that her future would include an arranged marriage and had made peace with her fate only to face tragedy on her wedding day and find out she must marry the brother of the man she expected to marry. Their marriage gets off to a dangerous start but just when she thinks they might be able to make it real she sees her husband’s dark side and it will take all the strength she has to overcome what he has planned for her.

Luca is the perfect combination of sexy and sinful. He is willing to do right by his family and take Amelie as his wife, but he wasn’t prepared for the feelings she would inspire in him. Desperate times call for desperate measures and when he crosses a dark line, he will do whatever is necessary to reclaim his bride.

Amelie proves that she is no meek mafia wife but a force to be reckoned with while Luca has two very different sides that will at times will have you despising him and at times will have you desiring him. The narrators were a perfect choice for the characters as they bring out the suspense of the story and the emotional depth of the characters.
