This is the third audiobook in D.E. Dietz’s phenomenal Afton Adders series, and this is my favorite audiobook so far in the series. I have been looking forward to Kenneth’s story, and this definitely did not disappoint. For someone who has never really been into historical romance, I sure am completely obsessed with this WW2-era series! This third book packs a heck of an emotional gut punch with horrific elements of N@zi occupation and concentration camps seamlessly woven into this enemies-to-lovers romance. Kenneth is forced to marry Alice for business reasons, initially referring to her only as “the kraut” due to certain biases left over from his time served in the Great War. Alice is strong-willed and beyond feisty, so she refuses to give him an inch. Basically, she’s Kenneth’s perfect match, and their fantastic banter proves it. Despite an instant attraction on both sides, they clash on nearly every issue. But as time goes by, they realize they’re not so different after all and begin to appreciate what the other offers. And that initial denied attraction explodes into a white-hot chemistry that neither of them can ignore. This story has so many wonderful elements. Baba is back in a big way, and anytime that feisty old woman is involved, you just know it’s going to be the best kind of chaos. And new characters like the adorably-sweet and protective Gunther and Rhino—the bestest puppy ever—bring even more to the story. I seriously loved every second of this!

As usual for this series, Allie Rose and James Joseph deliver absolutely outstanding performances with the duet-style narration. Allie Rose embodies the feisty Alice so perfectly, easily voicing the character’s strength, her sharp tongue and wit, and her hidden vulnerabilities in such an impactful way. And James Joseph… I swear that man can do no wrong in my eyes. His portrayal of Kenneth is so spot on for the character, from his deadpan humor to his Mafia roots to his innate fears and PTSD to the hidden depths of a loving heart too few are allowed to see. These two very talented voice actors are the perfect duo to bring this incredible story to life.

Absolutely Outstanding Story and Narration!

The chemistry and push and pull between Kenneth and Alice was fantastic! I love their angst & their little games they played trying to one up each other in the spice aspect of their arranged marriage.
Once they finally decided to play nice and worth together things went smoother. Their work against the Näzi’s was getting better. They let down their walls and fell hard for each other.
Kenneth and the rest of the Afton Adders went full tilt crazy on them and shìt got real.
This was intense; full of emotions, chaos, frustration, fear, action, love, chemistry & family.
I look forward to the next book, things will get interesting.

Amazing Chemistry

Each of the Afton Adders books has been great, but I think that this has been my favorite thus far. A longtime fascination with WWII had me eating this book up and easily finishing it in one day.

Using WWII as a backdrop made for a compelling storyline, and sets the listener up for some very intensely emotional scenes. The addition of the Afton Adders and a rival gang family, the Immer Treu, being brought together by an arranged marriage, made this a fast-paced and deliciously spicy listen!

I wasn't sure how to feel about Alice's character at first, but she quickly won me over with her wit and black cat energy. Kenneth has your typical stoic, no-nonsense Afton personality, but the way that he goes soft like a marshmallow for Alice is so swoon-worthy. Their deep connection is forged through perilous circumstances and the need to form an alliance to defeat a common enemy.

As always, Allie and James do an incredible job narrating. Allie has great range as a voice actress, and the characters that she portrays allow that to shine (Baba in particular, her voice is perfect!). James does very well with intense, broody characters, of which the Aftons are. He managed to make me both love and want to smack Kenneth at several points during the story.

My favorite in the series!

I have all the feels!! I was 100% team Bobby but then author D. E. Dietz gives me Kenneth and Alice’s book and I’m a goner. Kenneth is the oldest brother in the Afton Adders family and is forced into an arranged marriage with Alice. Alice is from a town in Germany during the time Germany is being taken over by Nazis and you can imagine what happens from there (you really can’t but you will find out when you read this book! 😉).
The voice actors (Allie Rose and James Joseph) did not disappoint (which we already knew how great they are) and blue nose production did a fantastic job as always!
If you are a fan of enemy’s to lovers, witty banter, BDSM (it’s 🔥) and love a good rollercoaster ride, this book (and the whole series) is for you. I promise you will not be disappointed and just wait until you meet Baba! 🙌🏼😆

Kenneth and Alice!! 🔥🔥🔥

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and it really drew me in. I'm not usually a fan of historical romance but these kind of political stories are fascinating to me. I loved the romance between Kenneth and Alice. They had a great relationship development, going from enemies to lovers in an arranged/forced marriage. Seeing the change of heart Kenneth had after he really got to know Alice was amazing. And seeing Alice being this brave, crazy woman that also felt for her husband and his story was touching. The steamy scenes were soo freaking delicious. I loved how Alice was all in for the "depravity" Kenneth brought. The political scenes we saw made this story so much better for me. The narration by James Joseph was exquisite. I loved his accent and his interpretation of the different characters. I was not a huge fan of Allie Rose's interpretation of Alice, I'm sorry to say. She would be perfect for a paranormal story or a villain rather, it's not bad, it's just not what I imagined Alice to sound like. All in all, great story with great characters, and volcano hot spice.

Hearts Strengthened by Cyanide is the third book in The Afton Adders series. Kenneth Afton is the oldest Afton brother. He was ordered to marry Alice. Alice is Brielle’s cousin. We found out at the end book one that Brielle was German. The Aftons despise the Germans. Everett is the head of the Aftons and wants to strengthen the two families together. Alice appears is a meek woman in Kenneth’s mind. He quickly sees glimpses that prove otherwise. Alice is not meek in any way. She is tough as nails. This book is set in 1937 Germany, in the midst of WWII. The Nazis were wreaking havoc in Alice’s town. Kenneth, Alice and Baba travel back to Germany to gain intel and make plans to try and stop the Nazis. The end of this book almost broke my heart. I loved how after all of the hardships Kenneth and Alice endured, they found true love in each other. I can’t wait for more books from this series.

Allie Rose and James Joseph did a phenomenal job narrating this book in duet style narration.

I have been obsessing over Kenneth Afton since book one and I was so happy with how his story played out. Alice was the perfect counterpart to his broody demeanor.

Allie Rose and James Joseph are back for book three and knocked it out of the park once again. I love them as a narration duo.

Hearts Strengthened by Cyanide is book three in the Afton Adders Series and lives up to the outstanding writing and narration from book one and two. Kenneth and Alice are cut from the same cloth but two slightly different worlds. Both are strong-willed and rough around the edges but fit so perfectly together. Their enemies to lovers were written so well. James Joseph and Allie Rose have narrated each book and are a power duo in narration. I loved both of their performances and look forward to more work from them.

Perfect writing and narration
