Alexius

Dark Sovereign, Book 1

De: Bella J

Narrado por: Stefanie Kay, Michael Pierce

It started with a simple offer...and it ended with me on my knees.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back.

Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life.

It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius. The man is a menace mantled with power, and it doesn't take us long to go at each other's throats.

But when he starts demanding more of me, I realize I'm just a lost stray in his world, and my odds of surviving are slim to none.

Alexius and his brothers control the moves of every pawn in this game.

And that's me. I'm the pawn.

The Dark Sovereign is a dark mafia romance intended for mature listeners.

Fun listen!

Fun and easy listen, good story, steamy scenes. Ends on a cliffhanger. Good narration. Going for the second book now!

Disturbing 😳 in good dark ‘mafia’ way😅

Finished this in one day - some serious deviant spice! I don’t think I’ve listened to this genre with the “forensic” twist- Looking forward to the next one in the series

Hot AF

Some of the best ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 scenes I have listened to and I have over 500 titles in my library. The authors descriptive writing style sucks you in and just heightens the enjoyment of this book. If you are into rougher, explosive, taboo scenes this is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

great read!

loved the voice acting. and the story was great. loved it right up the the last second. ❤️🌶️🌶️🌶️

WOW!

If you can get passed the foul language, this was a pretty good book. The male narrator sounded pissed off the whole time. Also, I’m not really into the idea of “sharing one’s spouse” for any reason, so that was a total turn off for me. It ended with cliffhanger and many unresolved situations, so just a heads up. Not sure if I’m headed to the book 2.

Wasn’t what I was expecting!

I liked the story and the narration and great. I wish it would give more detail when it switches scenes! Need more interaction with the main characters, not just in the bedroom. MC, she is strong and doesn’t put up with Alexis shit which is good, but I would like to see her come to be a powerful wife also. Where guys are scared of her too! I love the mystery that’s in it. Over All 4 out of 5.

Great start to the series

This was the perfect mix of darkness and obsession for me. I loved the mafia aspect, as well as the arranged/forced marriage. There wasn't necessarily love on page yet, but you could certainly see it coming for the next book. I wasn't aware this was a trilogy, but for once, I'm excited to read more about these 2, and I'm not daunted by the thought of reading 3 books about the same couple.

I listened to the audiobook, and both narrators did an excellent job keeping me entertained.

Good but typical mafia romance

This was an enjoyable listen. For the reviews saying they didn’t like all the language I found it to be pretty standard for this kind of book

Really Good Book! 📚

I really like this book! I must admit the cover model is what caught my attention! It had a good plot to it. Five Stars across the board on this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

S & M and trigger warnings

Maybe I didn't read reviews, but this book was NOT for me. The book seemed like it was maybe one of the author's first go.
