Machiavellian

Gangsters of New York, Book 1

By: Bella Di Corte

Narrated by: Kae Denino, Armen Taylor

I hungered to be seen.

There were three things I knew about Capo Macchiavello:

• He was gorgeous.
• He was reclusive.
• He was considered one of New York's most savage animals.

And he wanted me as his wife. A simple arrangement - you do for me, I do for you. Nothing owed, no expectations. Except for one: never leave.

Life was never that simple, though. By the age of 21, I was parentless, jobless, and homeless, and I had come to learn the hard way that nothing was ever free. Even kindness comes with strings.

Capo might've been the only man to ever see me, but I had made a vow to myself: I would never owe anyone anything. Most of all, the man I called boss.

I killed to stay hidden.

Mariposa Flores thought she owed nothing to no one, but she owed everything...to me, the ghost the world had once called the Machiavellian Prince of New York.

Machiavellian is the first of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series.

Please Choose Narrators Wisely

Terrible choice for female narrative.
Story line was good, as was the male narrative. I would have been happy with only the male narrator doing the entire book's narration.

omg that voice!!!

the fact that the male voice actor is raspy and quiet when he has dialog and then louder when its just his inner voice because of the characters Injury, that little detail made this book for me sooo good its a perfect mafia romance book!!!!

Loved It! Listened to it twice!

I loved everything about this book, the storyline was a bit different from the usual Mafia books I would read/listen to, and I felt it was well paced, and when I got to the end of the book, I was wishing it wasn't the end yet. Lol.

I read some reviews and yes the word Mari would use "fuck-a-me" was a bit annoying but it was a part of her childhood and past and part of her personality, so I didn't mind it all too much.

Loved the narration also! I think they both did an excellent job!

This will definitely be a re-listen over and over!

Good Book But...

I like the book but I really had a hard time with the female narrators voice. half the time she sounded like a immature child and the rest she needed to clear her throat that was the worse for me I cannot stand that shit it's a petpieve of mine and then she sounded like and old woman. It was pretty bad.
Not hot or sexy at all. And the way this woman was described in the book she just didn't seem attractive at all so that voice didn't help not one little bit. Just had a really hard time with the female aspect of this book over all.

Awesome!!!! Butterfly Mafia

excellent. no other words need to be said.
listen to this book! Can't wait for the other books
