De: Parker S. Huntington

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel, D. C. Cole

This is book two in The Five Syndicates series.

Niccolaio Andretti

Asshole. Douchebag. Jerk. Those are all valid descriptions of me, especially since fleeing from Andretti territory. Angry with the turn my life has taken, I prefer the silence and loneliness of my house. Not only is it the safest place for me after my brother placed a hit on me, it is also my sanctuary - my place to get away from the bullshit that is people. Until she comes along - angry, demanding, and so damn hot. I hate her immediately.

Minka Reynolds

Bitch. Tramp. Slut. I've heard it all before. It doesn't bother me. I have more important things to deal with - like graduating from Wilton; taking care of my little sister; and yes, finding the next guy to pay for it all. If I have to sleep around for it? So be it. If I have to lose the dwindling tethers of my sanity every day? So be it. Nothing fazes me. Until he comes along - angry, demanding, and so damn hot. I hate him immediately.

Minka Reynolds has never been liked, but she doesn't care. Struggling to earn custody of her little sister, she is on a mission to gain the only things that will get her there - money, a home, and a stable career. Unfortunately, she has none of those three, but she's close. It's just within reach...until she meets Niccolaio Andretti, the former heir to the Andretti mafia family, and everything she thinks is right becomes wrong.

I laughed, I gasped, and I cheered!

Audio-book: Narrators - Lacy Laurel and D.C. Cole

Wow! These narrators did a freaking fantastic job of bringing Niccolaio and Minka to full life. They pulled me deeper into the story than I would have been had I simply read the book and I found myself laughing, gasping, and cheering with this hero and heroine via the narrators. The fluctuation of both were perfect and both did an admirable job of vocalizing the opposite sex’ voice. I was fully engaged the entire time.


I loved both main characters as well as all their brokeness. They are each missing a vital chunk out of their lives but while one ignores it and hunts down death, the other fights against it and all the chains it keeps them in. However, once they come together they find the strength to open themselves up to new thoughts, new possibilities and perhaps new love.

This was a rather quick read that never bogged down. The steam is high, the humor light, the secondary characters necessary. It loved the mafia background/connection as it was a bit heavier than some mafia romances I read. Overall, an extremely enjoyable read that I would highly recommend in either ebook or audio.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Forgiveness

I liked the book. it's fast paced and it easily grabs and holds your attention so that you can't stop listening until the end.

I like the message of the book about learning to forgive, others and specially yourself. That is what Minka and Niccolaio learnt to do through this book.

This is the first book of the series that I've read, and didn't have any problem getting into the story.

The narrattion of Lacy Laurel and D.C Cole was really great, they did an amazing job narrating the book

Niccolaio Andretti: A Mafia Romance

Loved this audiobook. The narration was wonderful.
The story definitely drew me in and I couldn’t stop, had to see what was happened. Nick and Minka both had there own journeys. Definitely recommend

DC Cole does it for me

OK, I liked the story and the writing.
DC Cole did a wonderful job narrating this book, he is one of my favourite narrators.
As for Lacy Laurel, I also know her under another name and as soon as l heard her voice I realised I may have a hard time listening to this book in one sitting.
Don`t misunderstand, I like Lacy in the most part, but I do have trouble listening to her in long sittings.
That could be just me, others may enjoy this audiobook far more than I.

Such a great listen amazing story.

This is a very different story to anything I have listened to. I loved the main characters Niccolaio and Minka. Niccolaio is from a crime family and to save his brother he had to kill another family member but his brother saw him and put out a hit on him so he had to go into hiding. Along comes Minka a sad a lonely girl who is fighting to win back her sister from care so she sleeps with rich men in the hope of getting money but it never works out for her. When Niccolaio and Minka meet it;s not the usual love story they are both almost killed a few times by hit men out to find Nick. I love that they had one of the hit men as a prisoner found this funny loved when Minka was playing cards and because his hands were tied she had to play for him so made sure she won. This was such a great listen. I loved Lucy Laurel she held my attention well and made the story come to life. DC Cole is just Mr Alpha voice love his voice so much. An amazing story well worth a listen.
