The Carver

Fifth Republic Series, Book 2

De: Penelope Sky

Narrado por: Ramona Master, Michael Ferraiuolo

I'm fully in this with Bastien now.

The kingpin of all kingpins, a man who oversees all the gangs of Paris, President Martin's right-hand man. If I were smart, I would leave, but I'm pretty sure I'm already in love with this man...

Adrien continues to challenge my divorce until Bastien gets involved. And like always, that man fixes all my problems.

But little do I know, the Aristocrats are out for Adrien. My ex continues to ignore the warnings that Bastien gives, only giving them out of a courtesy to me. It's not my problem, and if Adrien wants to get himself killed, that's his prerogative.

It quickly becomes my problem when the Aristocrats target me instead of Adrien, because technically, we are still married. And I'm still the woman Adrien loves. I find myself in a world of trouble and the only person who can save me is The Butcher, a French Emperor, leader of the Fifth Republic.

The man that will kill anyone and everyone for me.

Please put all the books in one novel

I love Penelope sky, but I’m getting tired of these 24 chapter short novels instead of her just putting it all in one huge novel just makes sense to me… it’s a cute story. It’s a good story and I think she’s gonna give him hell for what he’s done and it’s a good summer read… wish all of this particular series came in one book instead of us having to buy 4-5-6 different books. It’s ridiculous.

wow incredible

5/5
spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
he falls 1st....this shud tell u a lot
a strong Mafia kinda shorts guy, big and badass, a ruler of Paris and he falls 1st
drug lord
MMC has to take over fathers business
hard life of killing
badass and tuff MMC
fragile and sad FMC who just got out of a terrible relationship
heart break, can't trust men

FMC is Fleur, a woman who is trying to move on with her life after a bag marriage and falls for a Mafia kind of man and is scared of his world and of giving him her heart
MMC is Bastian, a bad ass drug lord, and ruler of Paris, he is a little unhinged but only when it comes to the safety of Fleur and other women, he makes his drug empire better by paying people to work for him instead of trafficing women and forcing them to work for him, that's what his father did and he killed his father because of it and made the work and job better, and u don't fuck with this guy, and he falls hard for Fleur

so good, so cute
FMC has lots of insecurities about giving her heart to another man, a similar man of her ex husband.... because he destroyed her and cheated on her so much, but she does, she falls for the MMCs too

but she is scared, he is dangerous
the most dangerous man in Paris
she is so scared she dumbs him even before they really started
but she comes back, he forgives her
but she had every right to be scared of his world
he made his fathers business better but it's still dangerous
one rule u never break is no harm to women and or children
well his friend and business associate broke that rule and kidnapped Fleur all to get back at her ex
the so called friend didn't know Fleur was Bastians girl now, so he took her to hurt Adrian....fleurs ex
bad idea because now they have to deal with Bastian
he ends up killing the man and biting him and hanging him off of Notre Dame
you don't mess with Bastian or his women

great book and audiobook
great book series

Love the story

I love this story, my only complaint is how short these books are. Drive me nuts. It makes me not want to buy them. It’s so short I can’t help but feel ripped off. However the story is so good that I continue on the journey. I just wish the author would extend the length of the book instead of stretching the material to more books. I normally don’t really do books less than 40 chapters and this is why.

I want you to see what I’m going to do to them…

There are so few one couple book series and mafia ones are my favorite. Set in Paris. And we get action in this one. I’m so here for it. It was also nice to get a bit more Luca, and the slow rise of their ship is progressing nicely. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Narrators are excellent!!!

Love This Series

The love that Butcher has for his "woman" is swoon worthy. He may be bad and has done bad things but deep down, he is still human and fighting to do the right thing. I have enjoyed this tough, brutal, scary love story.
