Summary

Lucian Marcello is aware of the expectations following him as the oldest son of one of North America's most infamous Cosa Nostra Dons. Family in his world is more than blood and sharing a last name. It's the honor, respect, business, and the life. Being a Capo is just a stepping stone until it's time for him to take on the role of underboss but a chance meeting with her could be the one thing he'd risk it all for.

She is exactly what he didn't know he was looking for.

Jordyn Reese spends her time trying to stay under the radar of a man who wouldn't think twice about killing her. Unwillingly affiliated with a dangerous MC gang, her life is dominated by the men surrounding her and her future rests solely in how useful she can be for them. The last thing she needs is some Mafioso gaining her more unwanted attention from the club.

He is everything she should stay away from but can't.

Notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants, Lucian will stop at nothing to make the target on Jordyn's back disappear. But sometimes the worst threats are the ones you can't see until it's too late. The truth behind Lucian's history is about to take center stage in more ways than one, and it'll either save him or kill him.

This world leaves everyone a little filthy.

Hot Mafia bad boy/ Prince Charming

Wow a good book with some very sexy scenes. I really connected easily with the characters. I'm not sure if it was just mine but something was going on with the speed for me. I had to listen to it at 1.40😮 This might not sound like to much of a jump for those that listen at high speeds. I however normally listen at a 1. at most 1.10 Now you see just what a jump it is? Normally that speed would sound like Mickey mouse but it was normal for my copy. So if you get it and it sounds S. L. O. W. It's any easy fix. After cranking up my speed setting I loved the narration. It did still have some longer than normal pauses but it didn't take away from the book. He did a great job on all the different voices and the Italian was sexy. Lucian is now up there on my book bf list. Sexy and a good storyline and I would say its worth a credit. I actually contacted a friend who's on a mafia kick, to get it before I even finished because I new she'd love It. I requested to review this book because I could just tell by the cover and the blurb I'd love it and I did

Lucian

This book starts out a new series with a bang! Do to special timing and circumstances these two bump into each other and it’s a shock to the system. There is lots of drama, pain, thrills and love in this book tans it makes for an amazing book.

Lucian!!!

Bethany-Kris is such a fabulous writer. Listening to Lucian was quite the adventure. This story will keep you on your toes. His life and choices throughout the story, especially as it pertains to Jordyn keep you on the edge of your seat. This book is very addictive. It’s a definite must read.

A thrilling, sexy, romantic saga

This was an epic saga of romance between two lost souls. It was a long book but it never felt like it dragged. It drew you in and kept you enthralled from beginning to end.

John Thrust's performance was very good. My only real complaint was that his delivery was a bit slow. Once I increased the speed of the audio a bit it was perfect. I like that he didn't try to force a higher pitched female voice. It didn't need to be done.

Books Like This Are Why I Dig Mafia Reads!

Audiobook Review. 4.5 Stars. This book was a great reminder of why I love mafia books. I enjoy the contrast of their rules and the application of such. I enjoy when the bad boys fall for their ladies. I enjoy all the action and excitement that comes with the experience.

The plot was well done with strong pacing and prose to support it. Lucian was a great hero that seemed to have an easy and quick connection to Jordyn. I appreciate the balance in Jordyn. She’s strong but fragile in some ways too. It made her all the more real.

The narrator, John Thrust, did a fantastic job. He did transitions and inflections particularly well. I usually prefer dual narration but found I didn’t even miss it this time.

Complimentary copy received and voluntarily reviewed.

Perfection, pure perfection!

OK, so Bethany Kris is one of my absolute favorite organize crime authors. I fall in love with every single one of her messed up men and women… the made-men and the mafia princesses. They are all snuggled in pretty deeply into my soul. Her stories feel so accurate. I mean, I really have no idea if they are. But the storylines are so good and so different that I’m invested from the first word. I love all these bad men and Lucian, well, he’d dark, he’s dirty and a killer with no remorse. This was delicious!

The narrator, John Thrust could not have been any more perfect if he was Lucian. I mean, wow, I loved everything about his voice. His accent seriously fascinated me. I might have found myself attracted to just the voice. Thrust was able to give us a slightly accented English accent, but then, when he tossed in the Italian accent, well, I nearly fell over. I could not have imagined a better narrator for this audiobook. Perfection, pure perfection!
