Desperate Measures

Mergers & Acquisitions, Book 1

By: C. D. Gorri

Narrated by: Elle Sonali, Mick Fanning

No act is too desperate when love is on the line.

Liam

After my sister took over the family business, there isn’t much left for me to do. But with O’Doyle Industries going legit, big sis has found something.

And I want no part of it.

Marrying the bratty daughter of a Russian billionaire, and former mobster, isn’t ideal. But when it comes to family, sometimes desperate measures are called for. My new wife isn’t hard on the eyes, but I have no intention of falling victim to her wiles.

It’s not personal, it’s just business.

Michaela

If my father knew why I married Liam O’Doyle, he’d have moved heaven and earth to stop me. But I owed his sister, the head of the O’Doyle family, my life, so, when she says I have to marry her brother to repay my debt, I do.

I just didn’t expect to feel this way about him.

Is it wrong to fall in love with my reluctant husband? Maybe. But it’s too late for second guessing. He thinks he can just ignore me. Like he can just walk away and leave me alone and untouched.

But Liam O’Doyle is about to find out some mergers are very personal.

Loved Liam and Michaela

Loved this morally gray hero story. Turns out m a marriage of convenience will turn into true love. Loved the narrators who kept me involved with this steamy hot story. .

Desperate Measures

WOW Great book. The story was absolutely Fabulous. It is exciting on its on but the duel voices that narrated it will keep you excited for the next sentence and the action and twists in the plot you will never see coming

Protective hero was perfectly addictive!

I loved this book! Liam’s fierce loyalty and the way he fell for Michaela had me hooked. I feel like it was ultimately an insta-love, Michaela’s long-time crush made their romance feel earned. An arranged marriage that turns into genuine love, sweet, steamy, and impossible to put down!

My only small gripe was that the male narration sounded older than Liam, which occasionally pulled me out of the moment, but the story itself more than made up for it.

I was given a copy for an honest review.

Great performance and story!

I love this book! The BOTH narrators really brought it to life. Arranged marriage, secrets, powerful families! But also, love the FMC is curvy and the MMC is obsessed with her! There’s good spicy times, a fun and twisty plot, and some action! Love love love!

loved listening to this audiobook

Liam O'Doyle finds himself in a marriage of convenience to Michaela Volkov, the daughter of Adrik Volkov a powerful mafia turned legit billionaire. What he didn't expect was to fall head over heals for her. He'd go to no ends to keep her safe and by his side including facing off with his only living family.
The twist! The turns! The betrayal! The intensity! The complexity of each character! The spicy bits and HEA. I recommend this book to any romance readers. C.D.Gorri sets the bar high with each of her stories and each one gets better and better.
Audiobook:
Elle Sonali and Mick Fanning narrates this audiobook. They took a great C. D. Gorri's book and brought the characters to life.

Desperate Measures

This is a well-narrated Book 2 in The Jersey Bad Boys Book Series. It has a gripping story, a well-crafted world and intense characters. These characters have unique personalities, complicated histories and believable interactions. I love how these characters interact, especially how he claims she is his. In true male form, he doesn't explain what the means right away. This story has action, danger, twists, turns, protective male, female on the run, chemistry, love and HEA. This series gets better and better and it is a must read book and series. This story is a stand alone, but it is better if you read book 1 first.
