If you love dark, forbidden mafia stories, this is one that is a must! This story is intense! Never a dull moment. A modern day Romeo and Juliet. A forbidden love from a rival Mafioso. Nicco Marchetti is every woman’s dream. A strong alpha Italian who knows what he wants. He has a dark side, but gentle and protective when it comes to Ari. There was an innocence and naivete in her that made him want to keep her safe.

Arianne, who was this man in the shadows? Why was he always there at the right time when she needed help? Even though he looked rough, she always felt safe around him.

This story has a lot of conflicts, drama, unexpected twists and a WTF cliffhanger that’s a gutwrencher. I couldnt believe what I just listened to! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Nicco and Arianne in the next book!

Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson narration was perfection. Both are great voice performers, depicting all the emotions, accents and giving each character their own personality and bring the story to life. Brilliant.?audiobookobsession?
