Publisher's summary

Now in a convenient audio bundle, here are the first three novels in Jill Ramsower’s captivating Five Families series. The full-length, best-selling novels feature the three Genovese sisters as each seeks to find love in a dangerous mafia world of lies, schemes, and betrayal.

Forever Lies

Five minutes in a stalled elevator was all it took to turn Alessia Genovese’s world upside down. She was just one among millions of New Yorkers, but now, she’s landed on Luca Romano’s radar, and he isn’t about to let her walk away. Luca’s secret agenda shatters Alessia’s perfectly crafted life - sometimes lies are easier than the truth. Narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright.

Never Truth

Nico Conti was the center of my universe - until he shattered my heart, leaving me broken and alone. For 10 years, I had to find my way in the dark. Now he’s come back, trying to explain away his absence and pick up where we left off, but I’m not the same girl he abandoned. I have enough secrets to rival his own, and if I’m not careful, he’s going to unravel every one of them. Narrated by Ava Erickson and Wen Ross.

Blood Always

It should have been a simple arranged marriage, but fate had other plans. He saw her untamed independence as a challenge. She saw his alluring authority as a threat. Their lives were altered irrevocably - from enemies allied by a strategic marriage to something dark and consuming. Something that tasted like obsession. Narrated by Jo Raylan and Jason Clarke.

Warning: These are mafia romances intended for mature audiences with some elements that may be inappropriate for sensitive audiences. If you like a sharp edge to your romance and deliciously dangerous leading men, get ready to lose yourself!

Amazing

Don’t let the first book run u away the last two was everything especially the last one I love Maria the oldest sister

Books get better as they go by

First book I will give it 3.5. To me, it was very simple, and she always got herself into the same type of trouble. It didn’t have as much depth for me.

The second book had more depth. I like the different point of views, current, and in the past. I feel like it ended almost similar to the first book and that’s why I would only give it a 4.5.

I love the last book because it had the depth that I was looking for. The heroine was strong, even though she came from a life of pain and overcame weakness. Worth it

Loved it!

This series! The high’s the low’s it moved me. I can’t wait to finished the next set! So worth the credit!

First book is slow and boring

The books progressively get better. I’m glad it was a bundle bcz it wouldn’t be worth the credit if it were just one book. First book is the worst. It’s boring and slow but the second one is decent with the third one being really good.

Great series

Loved all three books! But #3 was my favorite! It was funny and sexy. Love love love Maria!

Interesting and time worthy.

Interesting and time-worthy. But the stories were too short and underdeveloped. It just seems like the author ran out of ideas.

Love these books!!

Book 2 was my favorite but I loved them all! Can’t wait for 4-6!!

Beautiful love stories

The first book was hard for me to get into. I couldn’t connect with the characters and definitely not the narrators. Second and third books were beautifully written and narrated!

the voices were perfect, loved Maria bad ass.

what a surprise that book was not what I expected. I would recommend series to any adult.

Mafia Insanity

These three stories were quite interesting. Forever Lies the love between Luca, and Alessa was crazy and exciting all at the same time. The commanding ambience of the story gave me the ability to see it in my minds eye, which was quite enjoyable.

Never truth was exciting, but not as exciting as the first one. I couldn’t really understand a lot of that or pay attention to a lot of the storyline but in the end it turned out to be pretty good.

Blood always was very mafioso if that’s a word Ava Erickson, and Jason Clarke we’re very good in the narration thoroughly enjoyed it. I kind of figured out the angle of Sal and Stefano towards the last few chapters of the book which was awesome and heart, wrenching and diabolical all at the same time, and I was hoping that they would be able to exact revenge on them, which they did. having a baby was unexpected that was taken aback by that but oh no, it was good.

I may recommend this to others.
