Publisher's summary

A dark mafia romance.

When Gabriel broke down my door, he took over my body and life. Never with force, but always with clever manipulation. He stripped me of my independence, my defenses, and my clothes and turned me into an addict. My addiction is him.

Once, I had dreams and a future. Now, I have fears, scars, and insatiable needs. I’m damaged beyond repair, but if I’m to survive the most dangerous man in Johannesburg, I can’t allow him to break me, because broken toys are destined for the garbage dump.

Consent is the second and final full-length novel in a duology. The first book, Dubious, must be heard in order to follow the story.

Critic reviews

"Perversely hot, gritty, and richly textured, Valentina and Gabriel's story is one of the best dark romances I've read." (Anna Zaires, New York Times best-selling author)

Loved It

What a great ending to this duet. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. There was just enough angst to keep you on edge and hotness to keep you drooling! I liked how the drama was kept minimal, no long drawn out push and pull but enough to keep the story alive and real. Would Love to hear more from this author.

This series was so incredibly amazing. It had me laughing, crying and everything in between. It envoked a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the entire series. If you haven't/listened to this series please do immediately.

Phenomenal !

Adara Stevens is now my favorite female narrator. Lee Turner smith has joined the likes of: Jacob Morgan, tad benson, and Jason Clarke best male narrator list. I never wanted the story to end. Love, love this duet.

Great duet

I loved this story told in two books. Good narration. I know the male narrator has gotten some flack, but to me, hey, he’s from SA and he lagged a little on some., but that’s his style. I enjoyed it.

Fantastic listen

I bought this one on title alone and I’m so glad I did.

Excitement, suspense, dubious deviancy.

Awesome duet!
