Publisher's summary

The international best-selling series with more than one million copies sold.

Anti-hero (noun):
1) A powerful and charismatic man lacking moral character
2) A magnificent bastard
3) Killian Black

You don’t know me. You think you do, but you don’t. The only thing you know is my name, and even that’s a lie.

I’m king of Boston, lord of criminals, ruler of an underworld empire.
Or am I?

Only one thing’s for sure: I operate alone.

Until I cross paths with a brazen little thief who sets my whole kingdom on fire.

Just as two wrongs don’t make a right, two villains don’t belong together. Especially since she’s the daughter of my most deadly enemy.

Taking her would start a war.
Keeping her would be suicide.
Making her mine would break every code of honor and defy all common sense.Then again, where’s the fun in following the rules?"

A great story and readers

I loved the humor, passion, romance and how the events all flowed together. It is one of the best audiobooks I have read from this author.

Outstanding!

While this book seems like it might be dark there is actually quite a bit of humor to the characters and the situations they find themselves in. Both narrators did an amazing job bringing these characters to life.

The only word that comes to mind…

Breathtaking!!! One of the most brilliantly written pieces I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to! The male and female performers delivered and delivered! Such a absolutely wonderful experience from the story line to the performance to the surprises! One of my favorite authors ever has done it again! Outstanding 💜

Frustrating

Jules is so irritating and I found myself so frustrated because of her overthinking. I love the Black Brothers though, Liam and Killian are my most ultimate dream of a man…I need more stories with them, I want to what they get into next after finding their loves

Hot hot HOT!

I laughed and giggled and hid in embarrassment from the SUPER steamy parts!! Troy Duran is a yummy beast of a narrator! He totally made the book for me! I’ve never been so immersed in a audible book before and will go on to read anything he narrates for sure! The story started strong, lulled for only a few chapters then picked right back up! Marnye Young did well too! The story was a bit wordy at times but mostly kept me engaged!

Loved It!!!

I loved the intrigue and the passionate characters. The story was very well written. My only issue was the angst went on a tad long for my taste.
