Maddie

Work, sleep, and sometimes eat.

Rinse and repeat.

That’s been my life for the past two years. One struggle after another. Fighting to keep my sister alive.

Fighting to maintain the strength to not give up.

I had everything under control. I had a routine. Order.

Until a certain Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome turned my world on its axis. He’s relentless. No matter how much I shut him down, he keeps showing up.

Theo

I make it a habit to always get what I want.

Either through brute force or by outsmarting my opponent.

I never lose.

I never hear the words no.

Until the day I walked into a coffee shop and saw her.

Maddie doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.

She doesn’t know just how relentless I am when I want something.

And right now, that something is the mousy brunette glaring at me from behind the counter.

This is book 1 in a series of four standalone mafia romances, each book contains the story of one of the four sons of Theo and Holly Valentino who you can listen about in the Valentino Empire Series.

Love the story

Love the story. The narrators not so much. Such a difference in quality of narrators from Their parents books!

I wasn't expecting Monty Python to show up

The story itself was engaging, and I genuinely wanted to know what happened next. Unfortunately, the audiobook narration became an unexpected source of entertainment.

The male narrator's regular narration was fine, but his female voices were so exaggerated that I kept getting distracted. Every time he voiced a woman, I was reminded of John Cleese doing one of his over-the-top female characters in a comedy sketch. Once that image got into my head, there was absolutely no getting rid of it.

The grandmother and mother's voices were especially memorable. Every scene featuring either of them pulled me out of the story because I wasn't hearing distinct female characters, I was hearing what sounded like a Monty Python impression. The contrast between the dark, serious tone of the book and the narration choices made some scenes unintentionally hilarious.

What really amazes me is that this performance was recorded, edited, approved, and published without anyone saying, "Maybe let's try a different approach to the female voices."

If you're reading the book with your eyes, you'll probably have a very different experience. If you're listening to the audiobook, be prepared: the narrator's female voices may either drive you crazy or have you laughing when you're definitely not supposed to be.

True romance

I love this book. I feel that they truly told a love story. Theo and Maddie were the perfect couple. I like that it started slower it built the romance.

Maddie & Theo! Love this storyline!

All i can summarize is that any good woman needs a bad man that can protect her and love against any odds! Love this storyline. Theo is a real man! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Loved

This is better than the parent’s book. This is one of my favourites series of this author. I adore her Vegas series the most, but this is close second. I love the alpha men.
