Publisher's summary

An Amazon top 25 bestseller

A new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today best-selling author Siobhan Davis.

Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir. Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them?

Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: He is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency.

Celebrating her 21st birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want.

And they want her.

Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice.

The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead.

Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war - a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play.

As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?

This is a full-length stand-alone 145,000-word novel with no cliff-hanger and a HEA. For romance fans who enjoy age-gap sister's-ex second-chance dark mafia romance.

Loved it!

I really loved this story and the characters. It had twist and turns. This book was refreshing after reading so many predictable books.

Fierfly!!!!!

This is going on my favorites. Siobhan did such a great job writing this book. Ben and Sierra slow burn and at time had me pausing to curse, was all so worth it. The fact that Siobhan was able to put some action, characters delvelopement, twist and turns, romance in to this one is chefs kiss! I just love books that causes the people around you to be mad, because you ignore and bark at them for bothering you..lol yes because this one is one of those. I can not wait for the other two books to be on audible, yet I find myself already downloading kindle because honestly I am obsessed and have little patience.

Spend that credit on this, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent

Great story. Narrators did a good job. Many characters that interacted great together. Finally found the jackpot with this one

First Siobhan audiobook for me, def not the last!

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this audiobook and this one blew everything out of the water! I have heard amazing things about Siobhan Davis' work and I have a few of her audiobooks in my library/ebooks on my kindle and after listening to Condemned to Love those other works by her will be moving up my TBR/TBL lists, that's for sure! Amazing job all around, can't wait til book 2 in this series of standalone stories is on audio 😍

In terms of the story, loved the back and forth between Sierra and Bennett. Loved seeing their relationship from the very beginning, see the ups and downs, and then see their HEA. I usually don't gravitate to books with kids (nothing wrong with them, just not a mom and my reading tastes just don't think ooooh lets add the kids and family dynamic to a sexy romance haha unless its in the epilogue). I will say that part of this story kinds stole the show and my heart 🤣. I thought Bennet had a huge growth and Sierra did a good job being strong when she needed to be, and slowly let Ben back into her life. I did think some instances he got off too easy for how he treated her, but he is a mafia man so that comes with some things we all don't agree with, behavior-wise, that people kinda get over quickly haha. Sorry don't want to spoil anything so not going into specifics here. I enjoyed the various side characters and hope a lot of them get their own stories. I loved some of the humor in this story, I wasn't expecting it. It was a nice touch of romance, steam, and story. I couldn't believe how long after the first sexy scene until the 2nd one and not gonna lie, I didnt miss it/I was so engrossed in the story I wasn't gunning for it until around there anyway. The story flowed really well you didnt miss the actual sexy scenes, but the tension was off the chart anyway 🥵. Some of the twists in this one were great (some you could see coming, but it didnt detract from the surprise and shock value too much), and I actually kept getting sad thinking it would end soon. I loved that this was a chunky audiobook, kept me occupied while I was sick, helped take my mind off the pain I was going through.

In terms of the narration, I thought Veronica and Gideon did a great job bringing these characters to life. I thought Gideon was stronger in his performance, really channeling the mafioso air around him, with his tone, the way he talked, and the acting/performance. Amazing job. Veronica was good, still 5/5 stars from me, but some of the side characters she did weren't as convincing. But ooooh did she do a good job with the craaaaazy characters hahaha.

Overall, I highly recommend this audiobook and story, I saw book 2 in this series just released on ebook, so hopefully not too much longer for it on audio! I can't wait to get some of the sisters and their love stories after everything they have been through, they deserve their HEAs (Bennet and Sierra's sisters ❤️)!

Favorite Book of the Year

This audiobook will go down as one of my favorite stories of all times. I loved this book! I loved every part of it, the story, the narration, and the characters. This story had all the feels. I laughed, got angry, and even cried. I don’t want to go into much detail because you have to just listen to this book.

I have to say also that Bennett is now my new book boyfriend.

Unique Mafia Tale

This was a very solid Mafia romance. I was nervous when I discovered it was a one night stand turned into a Secret Baby situation. Also sister's ex-boyfriend and age gap thrown in for good measure.

Full disclosure I was only reading this one because I heard about book 3, which is about Sierra's sister and I really wanted to read that one. And this series is pretty heavily intertwined. So I decided to read in order.

But, my rule is that Secret Baby is allowed in a Mafia scenario and especially since the way the heroine finds out about said mafia connections is extremely traumatic... I was totally on board with her running for the hills. Any sane woman would.

I was also on board for Ben being righteously angry because of his history without a father. He is very possessive and he felt tricked. They way they both forgive each other and try to move on is really great.

This was sexy and well paced and I am on to the next one.

5 Stars

one of the best

The development was wonderful. I love this audio, narration was spot on. couldn't be happier with it. All the goodness you expect from dark romance.

Good mafia story

I'm not always into the mafia scene but I loved this one. I liked the characters a lot. the story and characters fit together well. I wasn't sure about the brothers fiance thing at first, but the story was great and it all fit well. voices were good too. I'm sure I'll be listening to this one again.

Dark Mafia Romance

Condemned To Love by Siobhan Davis is a dark mafia romance that I listened on on audio narrated by Gideon Frost and Veronica Fox.

I absolutely love Siobhan's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Bennett and Sierra. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Gideon and Veronica did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you love mafia romances, dark romances, age-gap romances, or second chance romances.

Condemned to Love is an amazing Mafia Romance

Sierra is a really nice woman who would do absolutely anything for the people in her life that she loves.She has always had a major crush on her sisters then boyfriend Ben and when she bumps into him years later he is totally different and he really isn’t the man that she once knew.Ben has had things quite tough until his father took him in years ago.Ben is now the boss and not that sweet faced guy he once was.After Sierra’s birthday in Vegas goes wrong the last person she expected in this group of people was Ben.but he is the only guy right now that can help.They both have amazing chemistry even though it’s been years and they both give each other a run for the money as neither of them back down and in Ben’s line of work he is used to getting what he wants.Siobhan Davis did such an outstanding job plotting this story.She did such a wonderful job writing these characters. The narrators did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. They did such a wonderful job telling Sierra and Ben story. I highly recommend everyone to check this story out
