Cold King of New York

The Accardi Twins Duet, Book 1

By: Siobhan Davis™

Narrated by: Noel Harrison, Ramona Master, Sarah Puckett

A new dark mafia romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis™.

Seducing the enemy was the goal—not falling for my mafia boss.

As a rookie spy, my first mission is to seduce the Irish mafia boss's brother and prove he is behind the threat to the mafioso in The Big Apple.

It's a dream job.

Except my new boss is sucking all the joy from my life. Don Joshua Accardi seems way too invested in my personal safety, and he's constantly scolding me for taking too many risks.

Gone is the friendly older guy I knew growing up. His ex's betrayal changed him. Now, Joshua is a cold, controlling man living his life by a rigid set of self-imposed rules.

He thinks he can push me around and I'll do his bidding like every other woman in the city.

But I enjoy pushing back and seeing him lose his cool is the ultimate high.

Sparks constantly fly, and it's not long before we cave to our insane chemistry.

Joshua has wormed his way into my heart, but the downside of loving a powerful man is getting noticed by his enemies.

Now, I'm a target and my mission just got a lot more dangerous.

This is book one of two and it cannot be listened to as a stand-alone. Recommended to listeners aged eighteen and older. This is a dark romance with mature content and themes. Refer to the content list on my website for more information.

4⭐️ BUT IMO, MALE NARRATOR DIDN’T FIT STORYLINE

What a good story this was as strong, independent, fierce Gia goes undercover to get close to her ‘Family's’ enemy.. and struts herself headfirst into danger. They’re life long acquaintances her and emotionally broken Joshua.. but now he‘s been asked to be Gia’s handler. To keep his eyes and ears trained on Gia to keep her safe as she succeeds in getting closer and closer to another man. It's a high stakes dangerous and desperate move to get precious intel on their enemy. However, Gina and Joshua have a hard time keeping it professional, keeping it platonic, keeping it clean and keeping it from becoming something long lasting. And their rollercoaster was full of suspense, intrigue, action, darkness, sex and romance.. which I loved.

BUT, what I reeeeally didn’t love was the choice of narrator for Joshua (no offence Noel) but the Casting Director who actually thought you were a good fit for this listen should be taken out at dawn, paraded in front of a group of us listeners and shot at dawn!! You’d be great in Mysteries and Thrillers but I thought your voice just wasn’t sexy or right for the part of a young Don as your voice was too old for the part you were playing.. and it didn’t fit the picture either. You’re ok Noel - just not in the romance genre please. It was Duet narration which helped a little and Ramona and Sarah were great.. so I’ll continue with Book 2 which is a continuation of the plot but it’s manwhore Caleb Accardi’s story up next.

Worth a credit? 50/50 - Strictly because of the casting - as it wasn’t the fully immersive and deliciously drool-worthy listen I’d hoped it’d be. However, it ebbs and flows well with never a dull moment as the very enjoyable plot twists and weaves its web that’s full of Mafia men and their wars, their schemes and the villains they face. And the young woman who sacrificed herself to save their asses!!
Trigger warning: physical assault/rape

So delicious

Book #1 in the Accardi Twins duet and you are going to have your minds blows. Joshua is head or the Accadi Family and a force to be reckoned with. Gia was everything he never expected but needed. These two are explosive together.

The story is great but the male narrator is wrong

The male narrator sounds like he's 30 yrs older than the characters he's portraying. Kills the sexy vibe their supposed to embody.

worth it

I was so excited about the audiobook and was not disappeared.
The performance was good.
The narrators were good.

the male narrator voice sounded older for my liking. but it didn't take away from the performance.
female narrator always sounds angry whatever book she narrates.

it was worth it and performance was good.

Cold King indeed!

Loved watching the Accardi twins when they were kids in the Mazzone Mafia books so seeing them now as grown men made me chomp at the bit to see where Siobhan would take us in their journey. Gia is an amazing, strong, beautiful character and I loved her and Joshua together. The performance was great by all parties but I'm not gonna lie; Noel Harrison does not sound like what I think Joshua should sound like, but I still liked his style and accents. Loved the cliff hanger with the reveal of an old enemy thought long dead.

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen
