📖 Aldo has never been one to be distracted until Violet catches his eye and everything he thought about what he wants goes out the window.

❤️ Aldo and Violet are insatiable for each other once Aldo finally gives in to his attraction to Violet. I love the banter between Aldo and Violet and how she was able to give as well as she took and kept Aldo on his toes.

🖤 The suspense could have been a little bit more for the style of the book but all and all, another good book and I can not wait for the next book to see Roman swept off his feet just like Aldo.

🎧 John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a great job of bringing another Melanie Moreland book to life.

Perfect.

Aldo is hard on the outside but a soft, gooey center. I love the way he loves Violet, he takes charge of her bad situation and makes her life better. These two narrators are some of my favorite combos, they make the story just a little sweeter. Great performance, great story and a happy reader. 5 beautiful stars. Oh, I would love more Aldo and Vi in the future, please and thank you. But no pressure to the author.

I have a girl crush on Violet

She is just so strong and funny she literally keeps Aldo and Roman on their toes.

I loved reading this but listening to this was pretty great. A few parts were a little mixed up but besides that I enjoyed listening to this.

Love Aldo

Oh boy you are going to devour this story like Aldo devoured Vi. No shame with that, I stayed in bed all day reading them. It was a really good story. I needed like 5 more chapters about them but now I have Roman as my next read so I’m happy with that. You are going to love how Aldo cares, his protectiveness and his personality. I love everything about him. And Violet? She is perfect, the light of his darkness. I love how direct she is and how sure of herself she is. She is really strong and independent and I love how patient she is with him. And specially how she went for everything she wanted. I love Luca and Roman, and obviously I love Nonna V. Can’t wait to read more of them. The audiobook as all Melanie’s audiobooks was perfect. I love how Maxine brings Vi to life and John, Aldo’s. I love the energy and passion they put in this audiobook. Love it.

Take all my stars for my favorite narrating duo

Maxine Mitchell and John Lane can do no wrong. They exceeded my expectations with their performance as Aldo and Vi. I could feel their chemistry through their cadence narrating the authors amazing story. I will never tire of them pairing up and bringing these stories to life, elevating them on such a way that has me relistening to these books repeatedly. I adored this pair with their banter and on-page chemistry but to experience it in sound is the perfect sensory overload with every description the author pens.

Omg where do I start !!!!

I was so excited when I heard Melanie Moreland had a new duet coming out and all I need to say is….Aldo (Men of the Falls #1) was so much more than I expected. I’m not normally drawn to characters that are morally grey and Mafia romance is not my first choice but this book is intriguing, captivating, well written and I loved it so I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.

Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a Fantas job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were easy to listen to and spit on with the emotions, love and passion that runs throughout this book.

Aldo Ricci is best friend and right hand man to Roman Costa, co owner of The Maple an upmarket Casino and hotel in Niagara Falls. A chance meeting with Violet (Vi) Nelson has him feeling and thinking about things he knows he shouldn’t but walking away doesn’t feel like an option…….
It was only meant to be one night for them to get each other out of their systems but as they spend time together they realise they both want more. But what happens when danger comes to play and will Aldo be able to protect Vi.
This is one of those reads that draws you in and doesn’t let you go, it has wonderful characters that you can’t get enough off, it’s an intriguing story that has all the feels and more importantly it has the perfect mix of love, passion, suspense and mystery. Ms Moreland has shown us how diverse her writing can be with this one and I’m very excited for Roman’s story in book 2.

Love all Melanie’s books

Love diving into her books and love the narrators. If you are looking for Alpha male saving his female and being protective- you will love this book.

1000% Worth it

Its no secret I love reading a book by Melanie Moreland but listening to one of her stories narrated by John Lane and Maxine Mitchell is a different experience the way they bring the characters to life is a real treat and always an automatic but for me.

Aldo and Violet!

I love a morally grey hero. Seems like a contradiction in terms, right? And maybe Aldo is a shade or two darker than grey, but darned if he's not sexy as sin while pushing the limits. He's fierce in his work and equally fierce when it comes to taking care of Violet. There's just something about those guys who know from the minute they see the one, even when they don't realize that they know. I love that Violet has the sass and strength to stand up to Aldo when necessary and be willing to walk that grey line with him. Maybe not in actions, but she's not squeamish either.
I fully expected to enjoy this one - it was written by Melanie Moreland, after all - and I did. It didn't take long for me to be completely smitten with Aldo, and Violet is a terrific heroine. The story has some grit, but we also get to see Aldo's softer side, as well as a bit of a sense of humor. I can't wait to see what's in store for Roman in the second part of the duet!
And since I fell so totally for Aldo when I read the book, I decided I needed a second dose by way of the audiobook. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell are both terrific narrators. So, when they're on the same book, you know it's gonna be good. So much the better when they're combined with a book by Melanie Moreland. I love Aldo's attitude, and John Lane brings that out wonderfully, and Maxine Mitchell gives us all of Violet's sass. Honestly, whether you prefer to read or listen, you can't go wrong with this one, and if you're like me, you can enjoy both!

Bravo!!

Once again Melanie Moreland brings to her listeners just what they expect - beautifully written characters and a storyline that hooks you in from the opening lines. Watching Aldo pursue Vi puts a smile on your face and warms your heart. There is nothing better than having the big alpha, strong male fall in love when he thought love was never in the picture. I personally cannot wait for Roman's story. Bravo, Melanie Moreland, bravo!! Maxine Mitchell and John Lane were fabulous - they brought the characters to life.
