Her Ruthless Warrior

Syndicates, Book 1

De: R.G. Angel

Narrado por: Summer Roberts, Brian Nishii

Violet: Nothing wrecks an already bad day faster than almost getting hit by a car. But then he rescued me. My mysterious, sexy savior wore danger as easily as he wore his black-on-black clothes. And still, I wasn't afraid of him.

I should've been.

Because after one misunderstanding, the man I thought would love me forever showed me just how ruthless and cold he really is. I trusted him with my heart once and it broke me. I can't afford to make that mistake again . . .

Hoka: She was my ikigai—my life purpose. Loving her was inevitable.

But I'm king of the Japanese mafia. Softness like hers doesn't exist in my world. Maybe that's why it was so easy for me to believe she betrayed me. Why I burned us to the ground.

Now that I know the truth, I'll do anything to get her back. I know a good man would let her go. But I'm not a good man . . .

Contains mature themes.

Really nice story

Really like this book! I love the romance between the two! I even cried! But overall this was a great book and can’t wait to read the rest in the series.

Heart-wrenching Story- Missing Duet Narration

Must read! Please, do not read spoilers criticizing some of the events in this story, because you won't read this one. The plot is a masterpiece of love, groveling, and second chances. The pacing will have your heart shattered and then fixed again, not rushed but beautifully developed. Each character has a story to tell and acts accordingly. Hoka's actions are understandable given who he is, a mafia figure. However, his path toward redemption is masterfully crafted, avoiding the rushed ending that many authors resort to, turning rapist abusers into Prince Charming without meaningful redemption development.
The narration is dual, not my favorite. A duet narration would have added the perfect touch to this story.

This story had it all!

I couldn’t stop listening to this awesome book! I typically am more of a darker romance fan but, this one (while not very dark) still had a nice variety of love, heartbreak, betrayal, spice, redemption, and mafia world. The narrators were both new to me but I enjoyed both their performances!

pleasantly surprised

[kind of spoiler… but not really it’s in the synopsis]

i really liked that the “big conflict”/breakup happened halfway through. it made the resolution not feel rushed and i enjoyed the sort of emotional break down each character had. one of my least favorite tropes is miscommunication, but this one felt like it opened up a bigger issue they had to work through, so i could deal with it.

Surprisingly good!

I have listened to a variety of mafia romance and this was surprisingly sweet. There was romance, sadness, affection, betrayal, etc. It ended with a HEA. I would recommend
