Be with Me

A Forbidden Love Mafia Romance (House of Ferraro, Book 1)

De: Gabrielle Sands

Narrado por: Vanessa Vasquez, Gabriel Spires

She’s the mayor-to-be’s perfect daughter. He’s the ruthless villain set to ruin her.

I’ve spent my life putting others first. So when my father runs for New York City mayor—on a promise to take down the city’s most notorious crime family—I do what I always do: push my own dreams aside to help him win.

Until I wind up at the wrong party. Trapped in a bedroom with Romolo Ferraro—the dangerous, merciless youngest son of the man my father has sworn to destroy.

He terrifies me. He fascinates me. Six foot four and covered in tattoos, he’s everything I should avoid.

When he starts pursuing me, I know I’m just a pawn in his game. A means to an end. And yet… part of me wants to play along.

I tell myself it’s to protect my father’s campaign. But I’m not thinking about politics when Romolo’s rough hands slide over my skin, teaching me how good it feels to burn.

They say good girls don’t fall for the villain.

But maybe, I’m tired of being good.

Omgeeeee this audiobook!!

I loved it!! Narration is perfect! I don’t know how many new releases and some not so new I started but they just didn’t grab me. This book is fantastic and I will definitely be re- listening. Credit well spent in this one. Gabrielle Sands is a wonderful author!! I love all of her other books as well and have already listened to them more than once.

Rom & Berry are TOP TIER!!!

Can confirm this is amazing!! Gabriel Spires and Vanessa Vasquez absolutely nailed it! Phenomenal! I loved getting to experience these characters coming to life!!

Seriously recommend listening to this one! You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect in every way

I’m new to audiobooks, so when the narrators are this good, it makes the experience so much better. Mia and Romolo are just…*chef’s kiss* and their chemistry was off the charts. I absolutely loved this book, but to be fair, I have loved everything Gabrielle Sands has written. She’s a genius and a master storyteller. Can’t wait for Cosimo and Fabi’s story!!

Love

Absolutely loved this story! Kept me interested the entire time!!! Loved the characters and their love for each other!! Can’t wait for the next one

Loved the male narrator

Absolutely loved the male narrator's voice. He is new to me in audiobooks, but he did a fantastic job and as always, I love the female narrator. The book was amazing. Can't wait to see what's next.

😍😍😍

I read this book first on Kindle I am so dang glad I decided to get the audio version! 👏🏽 it was too good! As always Gabbi left me wondering what is going on with Cosimo and Fabi!?? But loved this narration! 🥲👍🏽👍🏽

Bad Boy Good Girl Vibes

Slow burn! Loved this story and how Mia and Rom connected! Great story and narrators!

An amazing Mafia Romance

This is forbidden enemies to lovers mafia romance. The first book of the series.

Mia’s father is currently running for mayor with an anti crime/mob platform. Mia ends up at a party with a hot tattoo man named Romolo who happens to be a member of the mafia. Things get complicated.

This is the first book I have read from Gabrielle Sands, and I’m so glad it’s the first in the series so I can get more books. This book has a Romeo and Juliet vibe with a happy ending.

I love how sweet Mia is even when Romolo doesn’t deserve it since Mia’s kindness really helped Romolo trust her and grow closer together. It was also great to have Romolo show Mia how to put herself first and take care of Mia when nobody was caring for her.

I was looking for a mafia romance and this delivered. This book has amazing intensity and mystery. I loved this book, and can’t wait for Casimo and Fabi’s story.

Character development

Couldn’t stop listening! Just a great story. Loved the twists and turns. Very satisfactory conclusion!

Love ❤️

Great narrators kept me hooked the whole way through! Mia sweetness and wholesome love steeped into Rolo! He knew this was a connection he would never have again and fell for her!
