Publisher's summary

The most brutal don in the city has a weakness: me.

I never wanted the life my parents tried to force on me, so I vowed I’d never marry a mobster.

Yet here I am, walking down the aisle toward mobster of the century, all to save my sister.

Rafaele Messero. Cold, ruthless, and irritatingly handsome.

Not that I’ve noticed.

After all, this marriage is the end of all my hopes and dreams.

And for him, it’s nothing more than a calculated business move.

At least that’s what I think, until he snaps at the priest to hurry up so that he can kiss me.

He’s known as the ice prince, but when his lips crash down on mine, all I feel is searing heat.

That’s when I know I’m in serious trouble.

My plan was to keep my distance from Rafaele, but he’s not interested in that.

He’s interested in me.

Now that I know what he craves, I vow to never give it to him.

I will never submit to my husband, no matter how relentlessly he tries to conquer me.~~When She Loves is an arranged marriage mafia romance, with no cheating and an HEA.

Best of the series!!

When she unravels had been my favorite book of Gabrielle Sands till this one came across. I usually wait till the audio but I couldn’t with this one. I read it first and then second the audio came out, I used my credit faster than it could download lol.and as with all audio experiences, the narrators being the story to life.

Cleo like her sisters has lived a very cold and trauma-filled life. She’s become accustomed to being denigrated and not aiming for much. In comes Rafaele, who has his own set of trauma, but is able to awaken Cleo’s true personality while helping her heal her self esteem. A beautiful arranged marriage mafia with a good balance of suspense, emotion and interesting spice.

The narrators hit it out of the park for me. Teddy Hamilton is a fav and I know I will never be disappointed when he’s narrating a book. Michelle Sparks is a new narrator to me but she gave so much life to Cleo’s strong personality and her sense of humor. Definitely worth the listen.

Excellent

A lot of mafia books are same ol same ol. This was an original storyline, well written.
G Sands has become a new favorite author of mine. The Duet narration was amazing, much better than the narrators trying to do opposite sex voices.
TH has a sexy-ass voice, always reading emotion into the words. I dont recall ever hearing M Sparks narrate but she too did an incredible job
