Hot!

Love the dual narration! Love this story! Two people whose differences from ‘normal people’, fit perfect with each other.

Brillant

This author has perfectly captured what life is like for someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Anna has ASD. She applies to work for The Doyles as a receptionist. She is hired for so much more. Cian Doyle head of the Doyle Mob is a sociopath. They somehow click. There are many twists and turns. Narrators Denver Adam's and Faith Clark are able to provide various accents, with one being Irish.

Interesting Mafia Romance

This was the second book of the Syndicate Rules, and since I was reading this out of order too, I was surprised that this was about Irish Mafia. So far we have Italian, Greek, and Irish both have very little connection to each other. But I enjoy this book nonetheless. Cian and Anna are such an unlikely couple, both of them have problems with connecting to other people. Anna is autistic, and Cian is an undiagnosed sociopath, but their attraction is undeniable.

It was pretty much an instalove, Cian was smitten at first sight and started stalking Anna. She, on the other hand, is very attracted to her boss too, but was oblivious that it was reciprocated. When she found out she was being stalked, she was over the moon instead of thinking that he was creepy, but I found it cute. Especially the scene when she calms him down with her boobs🫣 Overall, it was an adorable mafia story, not too dark and a little bit on the sweeter side with an interesting side character storyline. If you’re already a fan of Lucy Monroe, or new to mafia romance, this will be a great book for you.

Both narrators are new to me, and this was the first dual-style narration audiobook for Lucy Monroe and I was lucky enough to be able to listen to this audio. I have to say Faith Clark did such a good job portraying Anna as a character with ASD, I feel like her voice was really spot on, just what I imagine Anna will sound like, blunt, a little bit awkward, and somewhat cute. The same goes for Denver Adams, I quite enjoy his voice and he did well on the Irish accent too. This was a high-quality audio and I enjoyed it immensely.

Demanding Mob Boss

This was fabulous. I listened to this back to back. I loved the characters. I have always enjoyed Lucy Monroe books and I am glad the are putting them on Audible

Such a spectacular story!

As a mother of sons with autism, the story about neurodivergent Anna and Cian was especially beautiful to me. Faith Clark narrates Anna and does a wonderful job with the hesitancy and the little rituals that are so true to someone with ASD that help them regulate.

As for the story, it sparkles with the energy and intensity of Mob life in Chicago. Cian makes and excellent - and terrifying Mafia boss and the constellation of characters that surround him and Anna ring true. This is a gorgeous story, full of heat, passion and intensity.
