The Moretti Men: Devils Thirst

Moretti Men, Book 1

De: Jill Ramsower

Narrado por: Brooke Daniels, Peter Alden

A new neighbor with a secret identity and a deadly obsession…

Amelie: I knew I shouldn't have asked him for a ride. My new neighbor is a study in contradictions—covered in tattoos and dripping intensity. He’s alluring yet aloof, and his every calculated move is dangerously seductive. Little did I know, he’s been systematically inserting himself into every part of my life. Creeping beneath my protective armor. Trapping me like a fly in his web before revealing his true identity.

Now, he’s standing before our families calling me his future wife. He doesn’t understand that my life isn’t that simple. I have secrets of my own, and his obsession with claiming me might just get me killed.

Content warnings: Devil's Thirst contains references to past S/A (not between the main couple) and might not be suitable for listeners sensitive to the subject. For a more detailed list of possible content triggers, you can visit the books tab on my website.

For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!

Great narrators, good story

Overall 3.5-4 stars.

Narrators did a great job. I loved listening to both of them.

First half 3 stars. When I started this, it felt like I was dropped into the middle of the story. I haven't looked into it but I'm pretty sure there is another series that this book is spun off from. So for the first half, I wasn't connecting with the characters at all.

Second half, 4-4.25 stars. Once this book hit the middle section I felt more connected to the characters and things were clicking and more interesting things started happening.

This ended up being a really fun read.

really enjoyed this

I kept getting ads for this and then one day it was available on audiobook. So I bought it without ever listening to this author before. I really enjoyed it. Its a mafia romance but very different from the usual. Shes a ballerina and hes back from Italy for her. Not a lot of spice, but a good read.

Lots of love & spice

Worth the listen some characters from other books appear and good epilogue of what’s to come

Loved Sante's protectiveness!

I enjoyed Devil's Thirst by Jill Ramsower. Brooke Daniels and Peter Alden did a great job with the audiobook. Their voices were enticing and had me connected to the story.

I loved Sante's intensely protective energy. He is a morally gray MMC who stalks Amelie and will stop at nothing to make her his. Touch her and d!e. Amelie suffers from PTSD that runs her life until Sante enters and helps her realize and embrace her own strength.

Meh Story, Good Performance

This book wasn’t for me. I felt like there was so much backstory I was missing in Amelie’s story. Even though this story certainly didn’t let me forget that something happened to Amelie because it was mentioned so often. With it being the first in a series, I thought I was good to jump in, but I just didn’t feel that way.
The audiobook was good - production was great quality and the narrators did a great job crafting voices for the characters. I feel like dual-style narration can be tough, but these narrators did a great job of crafting personalities for all characters.

Audiobook review

The tropes of this book sounded interesting, and had me sold. Getting into the story I was interested, further on into the book however it fell flat for me . So much build up and the execution didn’t hit for me .

Brooke Daniel’s did an excellent job bring the story to life.

I felt that the MMC voice didn’t match the personality of the character. Which made it difficult to continue.

At the end the plot twist reveal while intense I felt like it was forgiven almost instantly, as well as the big bad was defeated immediately.

Overall, the book fell flat for me .

slow burn romantic suspense

I’ve loved the books I’ve read from this universe so far (okay, maybe that’s biased bc it’s only been two). I can happily say that Jill Ramsower is a master at writing romantic suspense. Sante was completely obsessed and possessive of Amelie. They met during her sister’s wedding... four years ago. He then spends his time obsessing over her in every thought of his. And, though he’s down bad for her, their story is a slow burn.

Stalker Romance!

Alpha anti-hero and obsessed stalker? Umm, yes please!!! Amelie and Sante met about four years ago and when Sante returns he becomes obsessed with Amelie. He stalks her, watches her dance, and moves in next door to her. Amelie has no idea who he is as he carefully inserts himself in her life and calls her his wife. Amelie though, she has some secrets and is terrified. If you enjoy your romance a little on the darker side and your hero a little unhinged, you should definitely try this one! Brooke Daniels & Peter Alden do a fantastic job bringing their characters to life. I highly recommend the audiobook!

Okay.

This book was okay, nothing special the MMC was better than the FMC she was annoying with her secrets and coming up with crap in her head. The Narration was good enjoyable.

Seductive

This audio was delicious from start to finish. The narrators chemistry is so palpable that you would think they have been working together for years. The emotion and conviction was so believable that I felt like I was right there with the characters! Loved this story and audio so much!!!! Highly recommend!
