Publisher's summary

His family killed my brother, so I stole his bride....

I was there to murder her father, but then I saw her walking down the aisle.

She’s been my secret obsession for too long. The sinfully beautiful Calabresi princess.

Sloan was the perfect payment for their crimes.

Now she’s mine.

Mine to claim.

Mine to possess.

Mine to destroy.

Her fiancé is still hunting for us, but his bride might not be so innocent by the time he tracks her down.

I’m lining her family up like dominoes. And she’ll be the first to fall.

Unless I fall prey to temptation and decide to keep her for myself.

Rocco and Sloan’s story is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers dark romance with a HEA and no cliff-hanger. It contains heat, passion and explosive steamy scenes for listeners who enjoy mature content.

I really enjoy books by Caroline Peckham ans Suzanne Valenti! Beautiful Carnage is Rocko and Sloane's story. it's filled with secrets, betrayl, hate and love!! The journey is worth while if you listen!! I love Bridget and Jake Bordeaux's narration!! They both do a fantastic job! I really enjoyed how they brought the characters to live for me!! Again and excellent audiobook!!

Loved this audiobook!!

This is a great story full of action, suspense and romance! I love Rocco and Sloan’s relationship and the voice actors were amazing!! They really brought the characters to life and Rocco’s accent was just perfect! I can’t wait to start to next one!

Good Read

This story definitely had a twist at the end that was a great surprise. However, I felt like dragged on getting to the romance. I did like how when they spoke in Italian it was translated for those who aren’t familiar with the language.

It was definitely beautiful carnage 🖤

“If she sleeps in my bed every night, she’ll end up falling in love with me, and that’ll be awkward as hell when I have to kill her."

"I am yours from my black heart to my tarnished soul."
"Take it, own it, destroy it, I don’t care as long as it’s in your possession."

This was so good a dark enemies to lovers mafia romance that managed to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout.

The plot twist threw me. My jaw was on the floor. It was so well planned and executed… that’s one thing that sells books for me. If I can’t see it coming, It makes me love the book even more!

The Narrators were absolutely amazing as well!

good

It's worth listening but a little drawn out. great narration. happy ending will purchase 2nd book in series.

Wow!! This audio is everything

I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS AUDIO ENOUGH!!! Bridget & Jake absolutely KILLED THIS story. They brought it life more than any other story I’ve listened to from them.
Onto the book itself: So I thought this book was a bit corny at first but. But. But. BUT. By 30% in I was COMPLETELY HOOKED. I would legit give this book all the stars if I could. I’m so in love with this story! I need the audio of book 2 immediately!!! I absolutely loved the characters in this story. Rocco is such a lovely, dark, dreamy boy! And SLOAN! I love her. She will NOT break. It was incredible to listen to her completely find herself. And that ending! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait to continue this story!

I needed this

After the Harlequins, Zodiac and Quarentine, this is what the doctor ordered. Great story. Suspense. And a HEA. Sometimes, you need a stand alone and this one won’t disappoint. But then again, the sister never do.

Incredible!

This is the first mafia dark romance book I’ve read and I’m officially addicted! Great story line and narration!

absolutely loved this

When I started reading this book I was not sure what to expect. But I should have known better, because when it comes to these two ladies all bets are off. Picture a mob version of Romeo and Juliet with a twist and you are close.
This book will leave you breathless, gasping and wanting more. You will not be able to put it down. Yes, Rocco is not a nice guy.... he tells you that himself but there's still something buried under all that draws you to him. And Sloan has been in gilded cage her entire life just waiting for someone to set her free.
The storyline is incredibly intense and will draw you in from beginning to end. Another amazing story ladies
the narrators do an amazing job with this book and with the characters
