Taken as Collateral (A Dark Mafia Romance)

Mafia Masters, Book 2

De: Piper Stone

Narrado por: Jack Calihan

I took her because I needed a hostage. I kept her because I wanted her.

Francesca Alessandro was just meant to be collateral, held captive as a warning to her father, but then she tried to fight me. She ended up sore and soaked as I taught her a lesson with my belt and then screaming with every savage climax as I taught her to obey in a much more shameful way.

She's mine now. Mine to keep. Mine to protect. Mine to use as hard and as often as I please.

Publisher's Note: Taken as Collateral is a stand-alone novel which is the second entry in the Mafia Masters series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

A dark mafia romance

Piper Stone has come up with a gripping tale of dark intrigue. Michael and Francesca come together in a strange way but get more in depth understanding of one another, but will they both make it out alive?

Well then...Hostile taker over it is...

Give me a solid mafia romance any day! Add in a stand alone series with characters from the other stories within and I'm hooked! I do prefer having a male and female narration but truly this performance is solid! Francesca and Michael are an interesting match. Both doomed by their heritages but never giving up! Definitely a solid read/listen!

Mafia romance at its best

I enjoyed this like I did book one, even better I would say. Primarily cause the story didn't feel as rushed and the end was longer with more detail. MCs are both enjoyable and Michael is just sexy. Can be a trigger for Sexual assault so please know that going in, this is a dark Mafia romance so so expect all hearts and flowers. Jack Calihan kicked ass narrating, his deep voice is perfect for this type of character!

Not thrilled with Bimbo female character...

Struggled to finish...seems that is the case with almost all of the books by Piper that I have read and/or listened to. Not inclined to invest more time in her books when the female characters are all written as "Bimbo's".

Not sure how a woman can be angry at a "dominating" man that she is attracted to yet when he moves close to her or she can smell his "masculine scent" she loses all track of thought and becomes a bimbo?!?!? Ahhh....oh...Michael....etc.

If you are into this type of character along with a broody, dominant male, then you would probably enjoy Piper's books.

Jack does an ok job narrating, but I do not find his female character voices and sounds to be enjoyable. He does have a very deep voice that sounds great, but not doing both the male and female roles. I am sure there are better books suited for him or there should be a female actor to perform the female portions of the books he narrates.

Taken

Taken was a very good book I really enjoyed reading it the story was very interesting

WOW!!! JUST WOW!!!

Piper Stone, I love your books!! This was a tense story and Great narration by Jack Calihan’s sexy voice!!!

Awesome book! I really enjoyed it!

I am loving this series and look forward to reading the other books in this series.

Good story with excellent narration

This was a good addition to the Mafia Masters series. Francesca was only to be held captive until her father could pay a debt. It did not work out that way. I recommend this series if you like dark mafia romance.

Jack Calihan did an outstanding job with the narration. He is an excellent voice actor. I was given this free copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Ehhh, just ehhh

I wanted to like this book I liked the concept, but it was very slow moving in some parts and then rapid in other parts. I gave it a try, but I couldn't get into it

Good Read

Taken as Collateral (Mafia Masters #2) was a good read by Piper Stone. Michael left the family business and became a movie star. He took Francesca as collateral and a warning to her father. She fought back and he didn’t expect that. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
