Those fingers set my skin on fire. Of course, he was too good to be true. And before I could wipe the icing off my greedy lips, I was walking away. So, why was he invading my dreams?

The first time I meet Stone Ferraro, it’s hate at first sight, and then, he kidnaps me. On his mafia boss’s orders, but still...not a great first impression. The second time I meet him, he calls me a derogatory name, and I knee him in the balls. Not exactly the sweet social worker look I was going for, but hey, it had to be done. The third time we meet, it’s over my ex-boyfriend’s - his identical twin brother’s - grave, and he shocks me with a mind-melting kiss.

A fighter beat my best friend to within an inch of her life, and I lost it.... I stormed into a Russian gym, and threatened an MMA champ with sinfully dark eyes and dangerous muscles. Of course, I’d already cursed every Russian by the time I got to him. He introduced himself as Vassili Resnov, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach. Only idiots threaten Resnovs, and then they die - which is logical. The Resnov Bratva is the largest crime syndicate in Russia, maybe the world.

I didn't want this woman to be my nanny. She had no experience and a failed art career. What did she know about rearing children? She was my late wife's choice, and I didn't too much care for the woman, and she didn't care for me, either. Until all hell broke loose and the nanny was the only one my son could turn to. The only one we could rely on. She kept us going, and then she wanted to leave, too. Not a damn chance.

When I applied to medical school, I never thought I'd be paying the bill by becoming a surrogate. I suppose a girl has to do what she has to do in the end, so I decided to intercept Uncle Sam before he could come for me. Funny enough, it's surprisingly easy to find willing participants. I answered an ad, and the guy showed up at the coffeehouse we agreed to meet at. He showed up frickin'...beautiful and with brown eyes that tightened my tummy in ways they probably shouldn't have. He looks familiar to me. Like I've seen him on the news or in the paper or something.

Story
I used to be a sensible, responsible good girl who kept her nose buried in textbooks and worked hard to make her father’s dreams come true. Then Keane happened. He was a crude, rude, ruthless Southie bully who only cared about his hockey career and pucking his way through a string of girls. I hated him and I thought he hated me, but then one unexpected spring break kiss changed everything. Moving across the country to go to med school and eventually marrying Keane’s total opposite seemed like the right things to do at the time.

Publisher's Summary
Jean-Pierre’s greatest gift was a lack of feelings. His past had ripped them away. But then he saw Eden. Onstage, she played her violin, spinning his head with songs that he’d tried to forget. Unable to stop himself, he makes Eden his obsession. And unlike any normal man, he takes what he wants.
But there’s someone in the shadows, blocking his path. His plans for Eden won’t be so simple. This mystery person sends Russians his way, igniting a war with the Bratva. It’s too bad that there’s no limit to his obsession for her - no force that can stop him, no bullet to get in his way. Jean-Pierre would kill anyone and destroy anything to taste Eden’s love, even go to war.

Best Narrators, straight Sexy + worth while story
I love the way Kenya Wright does a good romance story. She's so good at using a formula of solid, interesting story+ sexy adult romance, minus the cheesiness, which is of course, perfection. I'm loving the French mafia vibe to the story and how all the other characters are working around each other under the MC's nose, It makes the story so much more interesting then a simple, safe read romance. Lets also give HIGH props to both narrators. At first I thought the female narrator was going to disappoint me, but man she really surprised me on how well she perfected the sexy scenes and the male French accent. At times she even rivaled the male narrator, but he was overall just as good. I can tell how much I like a story when its 12+ hours long and I'm left wanting more. Good show :)

No No No No. this book was not it
while I truly love Kenya I believe she is a genius writer and outstanding with the art of writing, this book was a no for me. After reading the lion and the mouse series and falling completely in love with those strong characters i decided to try this book out. big regret! in my opinion Kenya is trying to hard to make this couple seem powerful and relatable, and it's just not working the way it works with Kazimier and Emily. yes i know these are completely different people however the tone is the same. there are too many similarities to ignore. Jean-Pierre just don't come across as that strong opponent she keeps trying to make us think he is. he isn't I don't see how he's hard to beat the character Kazimier is soooo much stronger and braver and more violent and vicious if you ask me. they are not the same, no just no. Eden seems so damn weak it's annoying. down right agonizing at how weak she is, she almost don't have a voice or back bone. their love story is so forced it's down right cringe worthy. they literally connect over their love of music nothing else. I'm sorry Kenya this is the first book of yours that I read and said nope. no it's not worth it. I am returning this one. I love you sister but Jean-Pierre definitely did not need a story. he needs to actually die in the next book, it's clear Kazimier is stronger then he is in every way.

very original pieces added I love it
great story about a violinist who falls in love with a french gangster. The women narrator's voice was calming and being able to switch to a french accent was mind boggling. male narrator's voice sound like a old man but when he spoke French it was beautiful. This was the first book I've ever come across with the french mob in the story I loved it and who wants to go to the candy store aka brothel.

An amazing story again!
This is not my 1st time with this book. I read this book when it came out a year ago, but listening to it is an altogether different experience! The story-telling seems to come to life, and the connection to these characters is taken into another level. Of course, I downloaded the 2nd book, and I can't wait to listen!

Very bad narration
I wish the producers had used the same narrators from The Lion and The Mouse series. I just couldn’t get into this audiobook. The book was a better read however no where near as powerful as Wright’s other series. I found the female in this book very weak.

Bad narration ruins lives
first, let me say that you should listen to or read this book because it directly relates to the lion and the mouse saga. Unfortunately, this is one of those stories where the narrator ruins it all. correction, Blake is awesome. It is Cami who is horrible. her portrayal of a French accent is annoying calming her reading is very slow, and she in no way sounds like an African American female. I don't mean her tone. I mean her attitude. the only reason I am continuing to listen to this book is because it relates to the lion and the mouse. It gets a back story to what was going on to cause so much of the chaos and their story. however, their story is so so so much better. I am trying my best to toil through this one. Even at double time the speed it is very hard to get through

Eden and Jean Pierre are a whirlwind romance. I finished this in less than 2 days. However, I played sections multiple times. I am ready for the next book. Kudos to the author.
