In the mood for something featuring narrator Shane East, I grabbed Dangerous by Nora Ash to try something new with a dark, mafia storyline. (I’m pretty sure bookstagram made me do it, and I’m not mad about it!) This story starts out with Blaine going to a therapist and being a complete jerk, but quickly the story takes a wild turn. Mira is the daughter of an Irish mob family who seeks to align themselves with Blaine Steel’s family. They are forced to marry. Mira expects to be poorly treated by Blaine after growing up in her family, but is quickly surprised by the Steel brothers. They are not at all what she expected. And when things take a surprising turn, she will have no one else to turn to but the family she was forced into.
I loved this fast paced story. Mira was strong and feisty and perfectly narrated by Rachel Knight who I hope narrates more in the future. She was wonderful! Shane takes his proper English accent and gives it a bit more street cred, and gives Blaine the cocky, Alpha attitude he deserves. But beneath the bravado is a good guy and I loved the layers of these complex brothers. An amazing listen in an intriguing series that I will be continuing right away.
