When Natalie Tyler arrives in Chicago to attend her cousin's wedding, she is just hoping to survive the week with her estranged family...and her ex-fiancé.

One week.

One uneventful week at the beautiful Hotel Jefferson is all she has to endure before she can return to her quiet life in Miami.

However, fate has other plans.

A split-second decision unknowingly puts her in the path of one of the city's wealthiest bachelors. And one of the deadliest. She finds herself thrust into a world she does not understand.

The world of Jaxon Pace.

Billionaire. Hotelier. Mafia boss. In an expansive underworld of crime, violence, and deceit, Jaxon is king. He is heartless, ruthless, and runs the city with an iron fist. Jaxon is used to getting what he wants, no matter the cost.

However, Natalie did not come to Chicago for love, and certainly not for an ungrateful, spoiled playboy with a god complex. But soon, she begins to wonder if there is more to this handsome and mysterious man than meets the eye?

Entangled in their fiery romance and a fleeting hope of happiness, Jaxon sets his sights on the beautiful and charismatic Natalie Tyler.

But his enemies have noticed Natalie too.

Can Jaxon win Natalie's heart before everything goes up in flames? Their passionate romance will take you on a heart pounding wild ride of suspense, mystery, and chemistry so explosive, it could set the whole city on fire!

This is book one of four in the Heart of the Inferno series.

She was so scared, and came across weak and helpless…turnoff

I completely understand that the heroin throughout the book did find her voice and her strength. She had several moments where she stretched herself, and became much better as a person, and learned what she’s truly capable of. Nevertheless, personal preference, I cannot stand when a heroin comes off, so weak, not speaking up for herself, letting people walk all over her, Freezing up with severe fear.

Nevertheless, the storyline was amazing, the voice actors did a phenomenal job. I gave it four stars because of her weakness.

Intriguing

Loved this Mafia story. The MC was so charming and I fell in love with him. The FMC was strong and to the point. I loved their openness with each other. A great love story with a nice plot twist.

The Narrators did a wonderful job. Maxine always brings her A game and this is my first time hearing Grayson Owen’s; I look forward to continuing this intriguing Mafia series with Grayson as Jaxon Pace.

Everything!

This book was just the kind of romance novel I love. I couldn’t put it down and am going to get the next in the series right now! Glad to have discovered this author!

Amazing

I freaking loved this. The bond between Jaxon and Natalie was lovely. I loved their dance around each other and the plot was excellent. It definitely kept your strand made you want to read till the end!!

Oh my gosh I am dying

This book oh lord I was not prepared for such awesomeness. Totally edge of your seat action packed and didn’t see that coming…Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens are 🔥🔥and I am running to press play on book 2.

Outstanding

Maxine and Grayson did a fantastic job as Natalie and Jaxon! Catalyst is a whirlwind in a short amount of time.

What a way to kick off a series!

This story was absolutely riveting!! Nicole Fanning's character building and world building were done so well that I was sucked in and had no desire to climb out of the tidal wave of a story I was swept away by! Natalie (FMC) and Jaxon (MMC) were great characters that had me rooting for them from early on, and the action that took place had me gasping multiple times with the twist and turns. Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens were freaking masterful at not only bringing these characters to life, but their acting for side characters were so distinct you almost forgot this was not multicast! I knew this would end in a cliffy since it is a 4 book series, and let me tell y'all I am running to get my hands on the next book!

Fabulous and sexy

I love this series so much! Nicole Fanning has done an amazing job! Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens were more than Amazing!

Jaxon 🫠

Loved this story and all the drama that came with it. Man it was so well written I do audio and physical book and many Grayson Owen’s Voice is flipping amazing. He really is Jaxon and portrays the character so well. Over all I loved the whole book and can’t wait to read next one.

yass
