Publisher's summary

I'll destroy them all to make her mine....

I want to forget the man I used to be. But violence just keeps calling my name. To avenge her, I'll become that savage again.

Dark.

Corrupted.

Brutal.

Hers.

She was broken by the men who took her, so now I'm going to make them bleed. I might be her savior, but I'm no valiant knight. There's only one thing I want in return for helping the girl I found in the wilderness. And that's her. Winter may not remember who she is, but she'll soon realize that the only thing she needs to be is mine. I'm the shadow of two men and the total of none, though she might be what I need to rebuild myself. So once I lay their heads at her feet, I'll cast my tattered soul down with them. And I'll paint her a happily ever after in their blood.

Good Listen

I felt about the same as I did reading book 1. Great storyline and characters, but I got a mixed vibe.
Although the Romeros are Mafia, they are more on the softer side at heart.
I felt that Winter would have been more traumatized, but maybe she has a Harley Quinn personality ...
The love story is sweet, and the characters had personalities, but still not my favorite from the authors.
I did still enjoy the read, just not a book I would reread.

Narration was okay

Yes. And yes!

The character crossover from book one is great. From the onset bringing in the characters was very fitting and some the sisters do well in their writing.
I can see a new series forming and this is a refreshing new plot.
Highly recommend as always

Nailed it again. The book and performance!

The authors and narrators do it again…they nail it every. Single. Time. It’s intense, per usual with the sisters, but with a satisfying hea and an unpredictable plot. They always keep you on your toes and up half the night. Worth it though!

Twisted sisters Do it again!

Amazing! Finish it in one day! Great read, never a dull moment! Book 3 needs to be released!

I cannot get enough

This series guts me every single book and this one is no different. I cried, I laughed, I cried some more and I swooned. Seriously I don’t know who’s they do it but the characters become so real! You’re heart will hurt for Winter but she’s so strong and just an inspiration for anyone who has ever been abused. I couldn’t stop listening and I just don’t have enough words to express how this dark and twisted romance needs 1000 stars! With the authors and these narrators it’s truly a masterpiece of dark yummy goodness! Narrators are wicked good and I can’t say enough good things about them either! Well done all the way around!

Obsessed

Wow. I thought book 1 was good?! This series has legit taken me by storm. I finished this audio legit weeks ago and I STILL CANT STOP THINKING OF IT!

Winter is an incredible character and the way she found herself and discovered who she was… just. Wow.

The bonds formed. The alliances formed. And broken. This is easily one of my favorite mafia romance. I’ve read in a very long time. I cannot recommend this story anymore. Not to mention the narrator is absolutely Salut. I get so wrapped up in, just devour the audio when Bridget narrates.

Excellent!!!

This story was a good one! It’s the second in the series and I loved the first one as well. I love stories where the guy saves the girl but Winter is a bad ass who doesn’t need that much help. Lol.. her life is hard and you are on the edge of your seat praying that it all works out between the main couple. One thing that turns me off in mafia romances is when the author describes the type of torture method they are using on someone and they go into detail about how to do it and the outcome. Usually I skip that part. Lol.. there wasn’t very much of that here. 😀 Book 1 and book 2 Are both intense and full of incredible steamy action! I highly recommend!!!!

Loved it

I fell in love with Nikolai in the first book. He didn’t get the girl but this is his time. He is going to unalive anyone who hurts Winter. The narration in the audiobook was spot on and the story had me hooked the entire time. This is a great read that you don’t want to miss.

Beautiful Savage

well, this was another good book. IDK how these women do it, but I'm never bored reading or listening to their books. these women know how to keep you interested in reading 📚 their books. Man, this love story was heartbreaking but I loved every bit of it. I do hope there's going to be another book because I would love to hear stories about the other 2 brothers. lol but trust me if you like the 1st book your Definitely gonna like this one.

I have yet to find a book by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti that I haven't loved and this one is no exception. I am not a huge reader of mafia romance but as I absolutely love this one. First off, this is a stand alone (yes, apparently these two are capable of this😉 ) so we don't have some horrible cliffy to cry in the corner over.

After how Beautiful Carnage ended, I couldn’t wait for Nicoli’s story. Nicoli has hidden from his family for a year now, unsure who he really is. He was alone until he finds a scared woman in the snow one day. Winter doesn’t remember her life before her torture. She may be scared on the inside and out, but she is a fighter. I love the dynamic between these two. Winter has walked through hell and has been reborn strong for it. Nicoli has had his world turned upside down & he needed someone like Winter to pull him out of his own musings.

This audiobook is just so good! The characters really come to life thanks to the narration and I loved listening to it.

This story is action packed and I definitely cannot wait for the other Romero brothers to get their stories told!
