Resumen del Editor

My acts are vicious and cruel, vile and life-taking. My demands are unquestioned no matter how depraved. There’s a monster inside me, and the wounds that scar my soul are dark and deep.

I’m Dante Simone.

Underboss of the Chicago Outfit.

She walks into the audition, eyes snapping with a fire that could cost her life - if she were to unleash it. Piper Tate crawls beneath my skin on our first encounter. Her audition, a condition of employment I’ve sat through a thousand times, is like no other. It’s magnetic, cementing my traitorous eyes to her lithe form.

She infiltrates every aspect of my life.

A dancer in my club should mean nothing to me, but she’s more.

Piper Tate has cast a spell, making me into a man who blurts Italian endearments without thought. One who gives her full thumbprint access to my penthouse. A guy who makes her breakfast and serves it to her in my bed, even though it drives me crazy.

She’s taken care of me - something I never thought I needed.

And yet, when she uses that access, I bail.

But a no-so-chance meeting in Miami gives us a second chance.

If we make it out alive, that is.

With the shitshow in Miami behind us, Piper is finally mine. I'm on the brink of accepting something I never thought possible. I think I'm falling in love, but how would I know? The monster's never allowed such emotion to fester, and he doesn't find this instance to be an exception.

He lays down the law.

If Piper's going to love me, she has to accept him too.

Through it all, a war is brewing, and our answers have finally come in the most unexpected way. It rocked the Outfit to its core. But the war is here, and preparations will take Piper and me to Boston and into a meeting with the other American Mafia organizations.

Except a single call renders the meeting null and void. An attack has taken place in Chicago that results in Madeline’s kidnapping.

Miami is responsible.

They will be eliminated.

And I’ll be the one to see it done.

Absolute worst narration

I almost quit the first chapter until someone reviewing suggested to up the speed to 1.25 which made the narration better. He ruined the book a lot.

The story itself wasn’t too bad. I listen to about 200 books a year. Some I can’t put down and others I struggle with. With a better narrator, this would have been in the middle. Up the speed before you give up on the book.

Need a different narrator

The storyline seems to be a nice story, but the narrator was horrible. I’m not sure if it was his natural accent competing with the Italian accent he wanted to have, but every time the word ‘sorry’ was said, I cringed. And it was said a lot.

get a better narrator

the narrator is horrible
and yes I struggled to finish
it became bearable with a 1.25 reading speed!

Awful

The narrator is horrible. The voice doesn’t match the story at all. There is way too much focus on the material possessions of the main character. Book one chapter three and I’m done. I can’t even stand to listen to this anymore!
