The Consigliere

Part One of the Revelation Duet (The Valentini Family, Book 3)

De: Serena Akeroyd

Narrado por: Joe Arden, CJ Bloom

I inherited Las Vegas. It's mine even if I never wanted it.

I may be the Don of the Camorra, but every leader needs a Consigliere, and the only one I want belongs to the New York Sicilian Mafia.

Aurora Valentini hasn't spoken to me in a decade, and I'm tired of waiting. It's time to claim what's mine.

Whether she's ready or not.

This is the first part of the Revelation duet in the Valentini Family series.

AMAZING!!!

Joe Arden and CJ Bloom delivered a phenomenal performance. This was my first time listening to Joe and CJ in an audiobook book and I’m not sure why I waited so long to listening to them narrate something! I was blown away! Joe as Hunter was *chef kiss*. 🥵🥵 Hunter is the book boyfriend of 2023… Can’t say much without spoiling it for y’all!

CJ as Aurora is phenomenal! Loved how she brought Aurora to life!

Incredible!

I just finished this audiobook and let me tell you, it is not to be missed! The Narrators, Joe Arden and CJ Bloom, are fantastic! The do an amazing job bringing this incredible story to life!

This is the first book in The Revelation Duet and the third book in The Valentini Family Series. And let me start off by saying, I absolutely, highly recommend this audiobook! It is one hell of Steamy listen, with one hell of a great story.

The story follows Aurora and Hunter, whom we have met before in prior books. They have some big time hurdles to maneuver in order to get to each other, including their mutual past, some big secrets, and an assassin, just to name a few.

The storyline and characters are terrific. I love Hunter and Aurora, they are such intriguing and dynamic characters. I love Hunter’s willingness to do, and learn, just about anything for Aurora. He is such an amazing man. I love Aurora’s dedication to her family, as well as her badassness! Nothing seems to stop her from achieving what she sets her mind to.

This being a duet, it does end in a doozy of a cliffhanger, which left me super excited for the next book!

Another great book

love this series connected to the Flithy books. Love love love Joe Arden, sexy song voice always puts a good book over the top. Joe and CJ are so easy to listen too.

So many dimensions

The Consigliere is the first book in The Revelation Duet about the Valentini Family.
Aurora and Hunter are the power couple.
This is a friends to lovers mafia romance where both characters are discovering new aspects of not only themselves, but how that translates into them becoming more than friends. All of this is set within the Sicilian Mafia and the world they live and work in. Ms. Akeroyd balances storytelling and character development so well. I found myself thoroughly entertained and no wanting to stop listening.
CJ Bloom and Joe Arden continue their narration and if possible are even better as Aurora and Hunter. They both portrayed the struggles and discoveries of these two characters as they grow together so beautifully.
The Consigliere ends on a cliff hanger which picks up in the second book - The Oracle.

Cliffhangers…Ugh!

After this ending, I can’t say how happy I am that the next book came out the same day.
Performance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Story: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved It!

I fall deep into each wonderfully complex story Serena Akeroyd brings to the table.

Aurora and Hunter have powerful families and with that comes many expectations. Having grown up together they had a special connection. After spending many years apart it was time for their paths to cross again. and wow did they ever! No-one writes hot and steamy like Serena. I actually liked the cliff hanger ending.

The audio is hot AF. Both CJ Bloom and Joe Arden lit my device on fire! Perfect for the characters of Aurora and Hunter.

Absolutely amazing !!

The audiobook:
Joe Arden as Hunter and CJ Bloom as Rory bring these characters to life. This book is hot 🔥 🥵 . Hunter as D learns what Sunny likes is so hot and even more so when he learns that Sunny is the love of his life.
Aurora Valentini is such a strong female to see her in the role of a submissive and then realize that her Dom is Hunter is priceless. The two of them together are incredible.

Hooked

Love this book the story keep me in my car a lot longer than I had to be!

Hunter is back and even more amazing!!

TW: Domestic abuse, BDSM, violence, and self harm
Cliffhanger

🎧 AUDIO REVIEW ADDED 🎧

Joe Arden as Hunter is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. When he goes into D’s voice…just perfection. And CJ Bloom as Rory? She is amazing at showing both Rory’s business and vulnerable sides with eloquence and grace. I am a firm believer that EVERYONE needs to hear Hunter. Seriously love that man.

📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚

Aurora (Rory) Valentini has quietly been working in the background to ensure that her family was able to rise to the top of the ranks in New York and be able to avenge her family’s destruction. During this time, she has earned her reputation of being one of the most masterful attorneys in New York. She is known for her ability to plan for the long game. But she didn’t account for Hunter. He accounted for her, though.

The Consigliere basically picks up at Jen and Lucicu’s wedding where Rory sees Hunter across the room. We knew at that point that this story was going to have some major backstory and, knowing Serena, that it would just leave us begging for more. And The Consigliere did not disappoint! Rory and Hunter are 🔥 together and I cannot wait for September!!

The Consigliere
