De: Eva Winners

Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Mackenzie Cartwright

Luciano

Everyone thought my wife was dead, but I never stopped searching for her. When I finally found her, the timid young woman I forced to marry me was all gone. In her place was a fiercely independent woman who hated my guts.

I might have deserved it.

But did it stop me from dragging her, her secret child and her best friend back to New York City with me?

Absolutely not.

My wife belonged with me and it was time I proved it to her.

Grace

Life on the run had some benefits. Your mobster husband could no longer use you. Nor could your rotten family who wanted you dead.

Instead, I was living my best life ever in a tiny Sicilian village with my son and best friend.

Until we were found. My husband dragged us all back, but this time I was determined to fight him. I wouldn’t fall for his charms and hot kisses again because I had so much more to lose this time around.

If only my heart would get on board with my plans.

Yes

I love every book in this series! Can not wait to start another series by Eva, love the mafia vibes!

Narration was perfect for the story

I enjoyed this book in the series. The characters were engaging and quite interesting. There was misunderstandings, a kidnapping, and a reunion. Highly recommend this book and the series

Life on the run is hard

I had to listen to this version since it’s been updated and I LOVED it. The narrator change was nice. I enjoy both of these narrators. The story was captivating from go. Grace is a strong FMC. She was handed a tough hand and she thrived. Luciano and I were in a fight for a good portion of this story. Everything Grace when through could have been avoided if Luciano would trust her! I loved how much of a spitfire Grace was it was perfect. This story was just as good the second time around!

Great Listen!

Luciano and Grace

I listened to the audio book. The narrators did a really great job.

I found this to be interesting and entertaining. Grace is looking to get away from her Grandmother and Uncle who want to sell her to meet some weird obligations that a bunch of families been doing for centuries that involve the first daughter born. Then winds up with Luciano who takes her and married her as away to seek revenge on her family. During this she was feisty and sassy and wouldn't cower even when she's had a gun in her face or being told what to do. Love FMC like that. Then she's running for her life and her unborn child. I liked how she struggled and then figured out a way to support her, her son and her best friend who is also being seeked out to be sold too. Really enjoyed it right from the start.

It’s a good listen

I liked the original narrator is better. If you haven’t listened to the original one, this one is good. Listen to it.

Breath of fresh air

I absolutely love dark romance books. Specifically, mafia genre. Lately I have found that most authors that write for this genre are literally writing the exact same storyline over and over again and it has gotten horribly boring and predictable. Typically you have a hard as nails MMC and a FMC that wants to be strong but usually winds up being dummer than dumb and repeatedly makes decisions to prove my thoughts. This book was a breath of fresh air. I love all of the characters along with the storyline and character development of each one. This was my first book by this author and I have to admit I am a new fan for life. I’m looking forward to my next read in this series!

Good!

This is one of my absolute faves from eva winners! Luciano is just chefs kiss! He made Grace run away and then he stopped at nothing to get her back… lots of action and lots with the other guys too! Good read and I definitely recommend this one!

A Worthy Queen and Adversary

***DUET NARRATION***

I LOVE how this starts. Their relationship is established and they're already married. What comes next? Well, Grace (Gracie, Fantasma) Romano Vitale definitely earned my respect. I love her backbone and ability to survive all kinds of things. We see this from the beginning and it only strengthens as time goes by.

And then there is the man who sets her ablaze, yet manages to destroy her in new ways, Luciano (Ruthless King) Vitale. He's arrogant, possessive, and a fool. While things aren't exactly as they seem, he has a knack for royalty screwing them up.

I do love that no other would do for both of them during their... hiatus. Of course, they make up for it in spades as things settle (as much as they can given circumstances) between them. This starts with hot spiciness that amps up as we move along. The things that man does to her body! I want to sign up to be the tester for skills enhancements. 🥵❤️‍🔥

In addition to admiring Grace's courage in the face of multiple harrowing situations, I also fell in love with the eldest and littlest Vitales. The two of them together is heartwarming and the embodiment of sweetness in a dark and dangerous world.

I'm absolutely loving this world and need more of it. Stat! The story is well told and kept me engaged the entire time. I barely stopped to eat. The narration kept me going as I worked late into the night. It was exactly what I needed and wanted.

The narrators, Aaron Shedlock and Mackenzie Cartwright, are awesome for these characters. Add to it that this is in duet? Oh, I am in heaven! 🎧💚🎧

BTW - there are some definite triggers so check that if you need to.

Luciano

Luciano is the first book in the Belles & Mobsters series. This book is told from dual points of view from Luciano and Grace. This book starts off a few years before the main story. Luciano and Grace are married. Something happens and Grace escapes with nothing to her name.

Now a couple of years later Grace is living her life in hiding. Luciano is doing whatever he can to find his missing wife. Once he finds her, she will not go willingly. She used to bow to him, and now she fights at every turn.

As Luciano and Grace are working on their new life, Grace is trying to end the marriage, and Luciano won't let her go, we find out someone else is after Grace. Luciano will do whatever he has to keep her safe.

So much happens in this book, and I really enjoyed it. Can Grace keep someone close to her safe? Can she forgive Luciano for how he treated her before?

I liked these characters, and am excited to keep listening to the series.
