Publisher's summary

It's my duty to the family...

King

When I go to work for the Valentis, I don’t expect my first assignment to be my biggest challenge—marry the daughter of a rival boss.

Wild and smart-mouthed as she is beautiful, Eliza Pomponio’s nothing but a bratty princess who’s always gotten her way. And she seems determined to push all my buttons.

Everyone is counting on us to keep peace between the New York families, though, so that’s exactly what I’ll do.

Even if it proves the hardest thing I've ever done.

Eliza

In one moment, my freedom is snatched away when my father tells me I have to marry a man I’ve never met.

I expect an 80-year-old retired boss who craves my virgin flesh in payment for his service. Bright side—in a few years, he’ll be gone, and I’ll be free again.

I’m not prepared for the dangerously gorgeous soldier my father presents. Like anything that looks too good to be true, so is my new husband. He’s cold, cruel, and worst of all, young.

Suddenly, marriage is a life sentence.

That is, if I don’t show him from day one that no one controls Eliza Pomponio.

This book is not intended for those with triggers or listeners under 18. This title was previously published as Mafia Princess. It has been largely rewritten and contains new material and dark content.

Not my favorite by Selena

I had high expectations for this book, but it just fell flat. The best thing about it was the narration IMO

Intriguing

I liked the story. I liked the depth and how everything tied together. I was not expecting the reason for Elise’s issue. I don’t know if this was done on purpose but there were definitely parts from the female narrator that she came off very whiny. Maybe that is what the author asked for, idk, but I couldn’t take much more of it.

King + Eliza

Not surprising the story had a lot of depth and darkness, which you can expect from a Selena story. I thought the plot was well done and I liked the evolution of Eliza. I also like that King got a story as I've definitely been following the Dolce's. We do get a happy ending, but like other Selena stories, there are potential triggers, so keep that in mind.

I enjoyed this as an Audible book. The narrators did a good job taking you into this world.

Very good book

If you like the Mafia this is the book for you arranged marriages young people don't like each other. the only thing that is kind of annoying is the wife that King is married to Eliza she does want to be with him but she doesn't want to be vulnerable to him cuz all the messed up stuff that happens in her world or her past so she goes back and forth trying to figure out if she wants him or not and that's freaking annoying.

brought this to life!

one of the biggest things about audio that I look for (especially if I have already read the book) is how much it brings the characters to life! This is by Far my favorite audio for Selenas books so far! absolutely impressed, obsessed and in love! this brought King Dolce to a whole new level!
