Absolutely Amazing & Smoking🔥Hot! Excellent🎧📚🎧

Jill Ramsower pens another amazing mafia romance novel, the fifth in “The Five Families” series and I loved everything about it, from her wonderful writing style to the fantastic characters and storylines to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. Each book in the series stands on its own, so if you are new to the series and start with this book, everything you need to know is in the descriptive details and you will never feel lost or like you are missing something. This book is Filip DeLuca and Camilla Genovese, both come Mafia crime families and have connections to characters from earlier books. Camilla is not involved in family business but she is still protected and Filip has been working under his brother, Matteo’s guidance, and wants to be more involved in the family business. Camilla did something she wanted to do for a while and joined the Lion’s Den, an exclusive member only sex club. The owner of the club, Dante Cabello, gave her the tour of the place and her heart sunk when she saw who was there, Filip, the brother of her cousin’s husband. Filip is a member of the club and friends with Dante, and when he first saw Camilla, his protective instinct kicked in, and he takes over for Dante to show her the ropes. He wanted to put an end to her membership but Camilla would not let him bully her out of something she really wanted and they came up with an agreement, he would be the only one she played with. The chemistry between these two is electric, but he is not a relationship type of guy and he pushes her to her limits and not in a good way, more like he is playing her. There is never a dull moment in this brilliantly plotted story, besides the relationship drama and the push and pull between them there are threats in the mafia world, the cartel are back in town, and then there is another threat closer to home and a twist you never saw coming. I loved how it all played out, including the steamy hot scenes and sexy times which are well written and well done. Jill Ramsower, thank you for another captivating story and the wild and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Troy Duran and Natalie Eaton are fabulously talented narrators and versatile voice artists. I love how they took each role and made it their own and did so with a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, giving each a voice that was a perfect fit to that character’s persona, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Natalie Eaton played Camilla’s role with perfection, grasped the strength and her every emotion and had you feeling every single one, Troy Duran did the same for Filip, playing the perfect bossy alpha. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. Their voices complimented each other’s and the quality of the audio and performance was flawless. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already fantastic story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Book left me all tingly

Jill Ramsower creates another heated and dangerous romance with Filip and Camilla! I can’t get enough of their tug and pull as they both try to deny what they really want. Add in the great narration by Troy and Natalie, and this book is gold!

Tropes: mafia romance, BDSM, romantic suspense 

Camilla Genovese came through the doors of The Lion's Den with hope to discover and explore her darkest fantasies. In this sex club, she would understand herself better and figure out what had been missing. What she ran into was a wall named Filip DeLuca. Power emanated from beneath his playboy exterior. He promised not to tell her father but she would have to experience the club with him and only him. She would get his control, his boundaries and command her obedience. She believed she could give in and be with someone she could trust but of course things wouldn't be that simple. 

I listened to this audiobook, narrated by Natalie Eaton and Troy Duran. Their work was perfection and I'm officially in love with Troy's voice. I've only read this book in the series and I wasn't lost at all. I loved the characters and the plot. I'm highly recommending this read! This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Loved this story!!!

Absolute Silence, an Audiobook by Jill Ramsower is the story of Filip and Camilla. She joined an elite club and runs into Filip….and she reluctantly agrees to his proposal. Things get unbelievable after that!!! Couldn’t get enough of these two explosive, volatile characters!!! The situations were shocking, danger-filled, and full of tension!!!
I freaking LOVED this story!!!!

This Audiobook was narrated by Troy Duran and Natalie Eaton who do an incredible job!!!!! They did an excellent job performing each of the characters in the story!!! They really brought this story to a higher level!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

A thrilling story with all the spice

Nothing like running into someone who knows you when you are trying to break the rules. Trying to branch out and find yourself in ways not everyone accepts and understands is not easy. Camille is taking a huge step in trying to find herself and finds her road is blocked very quickly by someone in the mix of her extended family, Filip is caught off guard by Camille's entrance to the club and takes it upon himself to keep her safe and help her explore things. The best plans of fake relationship style connections and a friendship is not the first thing to sprout.
I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between these two and how Camille reaches for everything in herself to prove to herself and Filip she can handle it all. I enjoyed the building tension and mystery of danger hiding in the corners. The narrators did a fantasic job bringing this story to life.

An Addiction I Don't Want A Cure For

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Camilla is ready to explore things that are kept behind closed doors. Ms. Eaton does a great job in bringing her to life as well as doing a good job with the male voices. This includes everything she feels and the emotions that can’t be contained. In having this story told from the characters point of view, we get a better understanding of those that come in and out of their lives. And what makes them uncomfortable or sets them aflame.

Filip will change how this story flows once he finds Camilla in a space he’s known to frequent. Mr. Duran has the perfect voice for this story. He may have a deep voice, but he does a decent job when doing a woman’s voice. You may also want to have a hand fan handy when he speaks. Since this is part of the author’s mafia romance series, having the right voice is important when you think of those that live in that world.

This story was the perfect combination. I love working out in my yard but when I don’t have a book to listen to, the time seems to go on forever. Between the story Ms. Ramsower created and the narrators that have brought those words to life, my job became so much more pleasurable. But then I’m presented with a twist and it almost had me stop in my tracks – didn’t want a distraction such as yardwork to see how things were going to change and then get resolved.

There are some series that I love to read and others I’ve come to prefer listening to. With this series, I want to do both. This current book, in the Five Families series, may be listed as a standalone but once you’ve finished with Camilla and Filip’s story you’re going to want to find out what you may be missing.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Unexpected

I'll be honest, I thought this was going to entail a lot more of the club than it actually did. More of the mafia side of things, too. It ended up being more between the characters than anything and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't what I was expecting.

Both characters are well written and it's nice to watch them grow as this story progresses. I honestly didn't see the plot twist coming even though I was waiting for most of the book for something of that sort to happen. The end had me intrigued and I'll probably end up reading the next book in the series at some point just to stem that curiosity.

Troy Duran and Natalie Eaton did a wonderful job with the audiobook. They both have exceptionally good voices for narrating and you'd be able to know who they are by voice alone quite easily. They both are really good at voicing the opposite sex as well, something that is a rarity with dual narrators. Usually at least one struggles with it, but not with these two! Their voices play off each other well and they were a powerhouse combo for this audiobook.

Compelling Story and Narration!

An extremely compelling story and even more compelling performance. This is my first experience with this author, but likely not my last based on this novel. I also haven’t read any of the prior books in this series, but it didn’t seem to impact my enjoyment of the story. The characters are layered and multidimensional, their unique and interesting love story dark and deliciously sexy.

The narrative performance is beyond impressive. I’ve listened to other books narrated by Troy Duran, so I was not at all surprised by his brilliance in voicing Filip De Luca. His low, honeyed gravel grabs you and draws you in effortlessly as the male lead, but he somehow also manages to convincingly voice the female lead as well.

This was my first experience with Natalie Eaton’s narration, I have to say that I was impressed by her passionate and inspired performance as the female lead. However, her voicing of the male lead needs a little work, in my opinion. Overall, though, I feel she did a wonderful job in narrating this intriguing story.

Love This One

I liked this book. The steamy parts were few and far between, I was glad that every chapter didn't have sex. I like the story line, it kept me interested. This is book five in the series, so now I need to listen to the first four books. This was my first Mafia romance book, I liked it a lot. I will definitely be listening to the next book.
