Publisher's summary

I'm walking down that aisle… whether I like it or not.

I learned very early on that every life matters—no life is insignificant, most especially not my own mother’s, whose life was cruelly slain. I vowed to do what I can so that no one has to feel as if they’re nothing at all when they lose their loved ones.

So when I’m forced into a marriage with Dominic Luca—the man next in line to be the head of the biggest crime family in all of New York—the ring he puts on my finger is a gun to my head with his finger on the trigger.

I couldn’t possibly hold his hand knowing it has the blood of countless men on it. I couldn’t possibly look into his eyes knowing he’s seen more deaths than a coroner.

I could never be safe around him. Not after a horrifying truth comes out, a truth that weaves his past with mine, a truth that makes me realize something even more horrifying than the truth itself.

Not only am I married to a killer, I’m married to a monster.

Corrupted Heir is the first standalone book in the Mafia Kings: Corrupted series. No other books should be listened to prior to this. It’s an enemies to lovers arranged marriage Dark Mafia Romance complete with HEA and no cliffhangers. This book contains steamy scenes for mature listeners only.

Really enjoyed this

Corrupted Heir is book 1 in the Mafia Kings series. Dominic Luca is the heir apparent to take over the Luca family business. His father arranges his marriage to Fallon, soft-hearted veterinarian and feisty daughter of the Police Chief. When Fallon's life is threatened more than once, Dominic fights to protect her. When past secrets are revealed, Fallon must decide to either embrace her new life or fight it for her freedom. This story is so good. I love all of Dom's family members. And the end...AH!

The narrators were new to me, but I sure loved their performance. Jenna Joyce had the perfect blend of sugar and spice of Fallon. Pete Malone was perfect as Dominic, all alpha-like and demanding. 5 star performance for this duo.

Mafia Goody

Really enjoyed it. Seemed a little rushed at the end but not enough to dislike it. Narration was good.

Great mafia steam

From start to finish I loved it. I love all the teasing not to mention the steamy.

🔘 WHAT A GREAT FIRST BOOK 🔘

Everything here was new to me.. the author, both narrators and the Mafia Kings themselves but I took a chance.. which thankfully paid off. I love Mafia arranged marriages and I was pleased that the caring Veterinarian Fallon wasn’t a naive virgin or that Heir to the bloody throne Dominic wasn’t instantly transformed into a possessive obsessed monster.. even if I do SO like them that way 😜. Oil and water.. enemies forced into a marriage but, through pushbacks, threats, drama, suspense, bloodshed and tears, it will become a solid loving partnership.

Worth a credit? Yes I really enjoyed this fast-paced story and its great dual POV narration which brought the characters and the emotions, tension, buildup, clashes, chemistry and heat contained in their bumpy journey, to life. It ends on a happy note but there are unanswered tbc questions that will hopefully be answered in the next book in the series. I would’ve liked a little more detail and infill on some things that would’ve given a bigger broader picture of things that just weren’t mentioned.. however, it’s still a great start and I’m looking forward to more.

It was just okay.

I was hoping for more. It started off well and then just flattered. Oh well.

Corrupted Heir

My first book🎧📕from Kiana Hettinger and I really wanted to embrace it since it started off with a bang! Sadly it kinda just got a bit boring, predictable & rushed in the end. Speaking of endings, it stated that this was a stand alone book but it ends with a cliffhanger of sorts don’t want to give it all away but WTH. Is it worth the credit? For me it’s a No.
