Resumen del Editor

Some mistakes are worth repeating.

Liza knows that cocky billionaire Matt Russo is the wrong man for her. She could make a long list of reasons why she’d be smart to stay away, including his tenacious ex-girlfriend, the fact he’s trying to destroy her family, and, oh yeah, did she mention he’s a cold, distant bastard? However, after their tempestuous one-night stand, she’s finding it hard to hang on to their well-established nemesis routine.

Matt is the master of control—of his life, his emotions, his future. Except, of course, for that night he slipped up…with Liza Moretti. Reassuming his grip on the reins, he’s determined it won’t happen again. Unfortunately, doing the right thing in regards to the tempting woman fails because doing the wrong things with her—to her—are too alluring to resist.

An impromptu invitation to share his private plane leads to an unexpected break from reality and some very steamy nights in Hawaii. Until real life comes knocking and Matt is forced to face the mistakes of his past. Mistakes that could destroy the one thing he can’t control, and the one thing he can no longer live without—Liza.

Been itching for the conclusion of their story

Ever since their teaser prequel ' Naughty and Nice' I've been itching to see Matt and Liza's story pan out and discover what horrible event made Matt the closed to love man he'd become. I'm not a fan of BDSM honestly, but the story itself gripped me. Two people from enemy families who are irrevocably drawn to each despite all attempts to break the connection. Angst, family bonds old and tried and new and re-established, funny moments and side characters, along with heart felt moments collide to make an captivating journey to a much deserved HEA. Their two stories are my first dive into the series, and they are definitely standalone, but now I'm curious about some of the previous stories. Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair did a great job bringing it to life.

Tears

I LOVE THESE BOOKS! This one might be my fave of the series! More please!

It was a good read

I enjoyed this book but wish there’s more to it. I feel as if he had it too easy. The heroine should have more of a back bone and stop following orders.
Both narrators did an excellent job at narrating

Loved this!

I listened to the teaser to this book a couple months ago and couldn't wait for this to be released! I was not disappointed. I loved the storyline and characters. My heart broke for Matt and Liza was sweet and strong. We get a steamy, beautiful romance that was heartbreaking and heartwarming all rolled together.

Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair are excellent narrators! They have easy to listen to voices, performing with emotion that had the audiobook rolling like a movie in my head. Perfection.

Delicious .....

A firecracker of heartbreak and romance too tempting to pass up. Carr holds nothing back. From scorching attraction to emotional overload, Tempted and Taken is addiction at it's most delicious.

I was so proud of Matt

Matt’s character evolved into an amazing man; hos ability to take accountability for his actions and admitting that did most things for revenge and apologizing for them…..amazing
It made me feel all warm and fuzzy when he apologized to Tony, I felt like they could’ve been the best of friends in High school if not for his dad.

Wonderful interactions!

Good story! I liked the interactions between these two main characters. They are shockingly sexy together. This is book 6 in the series but the first for me. I had no problem following along with this one even though we are so far along in the series. There is a lot of family that come into play between the Russo and Moretti’s. They are quite a collection of characters. I listened to this on audio. Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett did a wonderful job on the narration.

Tempted and Taken

This is the sixth book in the Italian Stallions series. This is Liza and Matt Russo’s story. This has been one of my favorites in the series. The tension between the Moretti and Russo families throughout the past few generations. This is a forbidden romance. Matt believes he is not worthy of love. Liza helps him realize he is not his father, and that there is time to change his future. I can’t wait for Collin Russo’s book. Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair did a wonderful job narrating this book.

Captivating, Emotional & Smoking Hot! Great🎧📚🎧

It is always great to be back in Mari Carr’s “Italian Stallions” world again for some more Moretti and Russo action and smoking hot goodness. This book is Liza Moretti and Matt Russo’s story and if you have not read or listened to the “Naughty and Nice” novella yet you should, not only did their story start there but it is a steamy delight. The chemistry between Matt and Liza is electric, and they continue to dance around each other. Matt knew it would not be the last he saw of his shallow ex-girlfriend after the gala, and she comes back scheming and then again with a vengeance. She is looking for a husband, but he is not husband material, not that she would ever be his wife. Liza is aware of the Russo and Moretti feud, but it seems like the latest generation is ready to put that aside and are convincing their elders to do the same. Matt carries a lot more baggage them his brothers, guilt too and until he gets rid of all the weight he carries on his shoulders, he will never open his heart to anyone, he feels he does not deserve to be loved. I loved learning more about Matt and then watching him face and tackle his demons and eventually let them go. Liza was patient and understanding with Matt, but she had not known what he was going thru, mostly because he never shared, or that his family and upbringing were not as loving and supportive as hers had been. Even though he pushes her away once again, it's evident that he truly cares for her. There is never a dull moment in this wonderfully written and plotted story, it has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst, and steamy romance. Mari Carr, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧  Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair are a fantastic narration team and they continue to do an amazing job portraying the characters and bringing them to life. Their character voices are consistent and the quality of their audio and performance is top-notch. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. You can hear how much heart they put into the performance as they capture the character’s emotions and have you feeling every one. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
