Fractured Secrets

Lies of the Underworld, Book 2

De: Haley Jenner

Narrado por: Veronica Fox, Jason Clarke

Gabriella Ferrari is new to the mafia life.

Following the devastating loss of her mother, and with no other options, Gabriella seeks out the morally gray men her mother begged her to avoid.

A family found in mourning, Gabriella struggles to live within the confines of the fractured secrets her mother bestowed upon her.

She's traded one prison for another. Yet, while protecting her life is a reality she's all too familiar with, guarding her heart never even crossed her mind.

Standing at the altar, forcefully betrothed to one man, she pledges her life to another. A man she despises. Her brother's best friend and the head of the family.

Lorenzo Caruso may be a boss, but she'd sooner stomp on her own heart than hand it to him, even if she does like the way he makes her feel behind closed doors.

Up for the challenge and accustomed to getting what he wants, Lorenzo is determined to hold the little liar's heart in his hands before she even realizes it's missing.

The question is... what does he plan to do with it once he's claimed it...

it was good-but cut off mid epilogue

it was good but for some reason it cut off mid epilogue!!!

it was excellent performance

So stinking good

There wasn’t anything to dislike. The love story was epic - soulmate kind of love. I love how Vincent accepted and loved Gabby from the beginning. I wish we had seen more of their relationship. Leo and Gabby were awesome. I loved their friendship. Dante breaks my heart. I wish we could have seen resolution to his rift with Gabby. He was so sweet during most of their relationship. I’m disappointed in how he handled everything, but I completely understand why.

The recording cut off in the middle of the epilogue. That was disappointing. The narration was so stinking good.

Great but the audio cuts off

The performance was great. Story is good. The main issue is that the audio cuts off at around the 4th or 5th paragraph in the Epilogue (last chapter of audio book). It literally cuts off in the middle of a word and goes straight to end credits. Very sad.

Amazing narration and solid story

Narration was 10/10 duet narrated. Spice 3-4: lots of it with details and well-written. Nothing too klnky (no NC or BDSM).
Story had complexity and great character depth. Side characters added additional complexity and I liked how it ran parallel with book 1. A little over the top effusive and melodramatic in some parts, but in the typical way of over possessive MMC with touch her and X vibes.

One Of the BEST Performances I Have Heard

I am obsessed! I love a good Mafia story, and Haley Jenner gives you that and more with Lorenzo and Gabriella book. I found this author on a whim. Someone mentioned this audio to listen to, and of course, I couldn't just jump right in. I had to listen to the first one before, and I am glad I did. Even though they can be read as standalone, I always like having everyone's story first.

Gabbi and Enzo have an all-consuming love, and the way they meet is kinda funny (to me). I enjoyed the tension these two had, I liked they were in denial for a short period. But once they came together, it was off the charts hot.
This book is a steamy Mafia romance with an OTT boss and his lioness that brings him to his knees.

Let me tell you that Jason Clarke nailed this audio, and I listened to this in one day. It had me hooked, and Jason brought so many emotions to his character. This will be one I will go back and listen to. IT WAS THAT GOOD! It is also done in DUET!
Veronica Fox was amazing. The way she rolled some of the names off her tongue with the best accent. I will be listening to more of the books she narrates!

I will wait patiently for the next book to come out in audio ....

Good

ok first 6 hours was recap of 1st book from Enzo and Gabbys point of view. could have really condensed. last 7 hours great. narration great! I will continue as long as next book isnt 13 hours.

sssooo goood

• Thoughts:
I liked this book a lot. I liked the 1st book. This one. Really good. It does overlap the first book. So for the first oh I dunno 50 ish percent if the book. The events that took place in the first book you are reliving in this book. However, I felt it was needed and done very well! Since you are getting how these 2 MC's connected and fell for one another.

Narrator Thoughts:
The duet style narration was amazing. Jason Clarke and Veronica Fox are the narrators, and they were incredible
