WARNING - DO NOT MISS THIS AWESOME LISTEN

PHEWEEE and Wow - what a breathtaking conclusion to an awesome trilogy this was as it's packed full of high tension, jaw-dropping twists, heart-pounding suspense and chills and thrills as the drama intensifies and the plot moves into the epic realm. Theresa and Antonio are still trying desperately to hold on to one another and both dream and make plans for a mythical future when Antonio can be free from the Mob and all that it's dictating he do to unite the two main families. They're eventually forced to take drastic steps to gain their freedom..... but Antonio isn't prepared to let Theresa walk away from all her family..... no matter what she says and so he tries to spare her heartbreak by making the ultimate sacrifice. However, Theresa has been through too much to just stand back and meekly watch.

Antonio and Theresa deeply love each other, are infatuated by one another and can't keep there greedy little paws off each other which makes for some very intense sex scenes as they both like to verbalize their cravings, their desires and their actions. There's heartbreaking news about Theresa's Brother and, in a very cleverly written twist, her earlier bloody and deadly actions may (indirectly) be the only hope of saving his life. There's an OMG What the ?!?! of a shocking twist as Antonio is reunited with faces from his past that could destroy the loving relationship that he and Theresa have fought so hard for. And, a deadly confrontation with a bitter and vicious enemy, leaves one of them critically wounded, one heartbroken, one scarred, one in Prison.... and both are devastated and lost.

Dual POV's and, once again, the narration was perfecto as Brian Pallino's smooth Italian accent added buckets of sex appeal to this listen.... but both narrators did an amazing job. However, CD Reiss has delivered an outstanding listen that has well loved characters and well described and well orchestrated scenes that you can easily mentally picture and visualize all the unfolding drama as each bountiful Chapter is skilfully revealed.

Worth a credit? I gleefully devoured all three books over one weekend and they were delicious, the plots built and built, the suspense mounted, the love story became more and more intense, there was character growth by a few of the cast and I loved....every....single....minute of it. So YEAH a creditworthy or $-worthy purchase.

RULE

What made the experience of listening to Rule the most enjoyable?

Both narrarators are amazing! Mindy Kennedy almost sounded better as Antonio than Brian did!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Antonio is my favorite. He's a perfect walking contradiction!

What about Mindy Kennedy and Brian Pallino ’s performance did you like?

I loved everything about their performance. They made me feel like I was watching this story unfold in real life and they both have great voices that I could listen to daily and never tire of hearing them.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book all in one sitting. I plugged in as soon as I got to work and finished it at the end of the work day. I even skipped lunch because I just couldn't stop listening.

Any additional comments?

It's worth a credit and if you don't have a credit, it's worth whatever Audible is charging for it. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

overview of all three books

Narration: Mindy was very good but Brian totally ruined it for me
Story: not much of a story line all about sex as much as possible and as often as possible
Writing: ok so calling a mans man bit a piece of meat during a hot session is probably the most off putting thing i have ever read.
all in all, Don"t bother

1st time reader of CD Reiss books.

I rated this book a 3 because I'm not a fan of the extreme vulgarity. The story was ok. The narrators were great!

Excellent series

This book is the third installment of the Spin, Ruin, and Ruled series by CD Reiss. Her books are very well written. I enjoyed this continuation of the Drazen family. There is so much life threatening drama in the family of eight adult siblings. I first heard about the Drazens in the Complete Submission Series. If you have not listened to it, it’s a literal heart stopper. As are these three books.
The narrators are outstanding.

Great!

This was a great ending to a good series. I enjoyed Spin and Theresa. Not earth-shattering or re-read over and over again, but entertaining mafia romance I particularly enjoyed.

Possibly the easiest 5 stars I have ever given!

This has been one of the best series I have ever listened to! CD Reiss is ridiculously talented. I’ve had to put my whole life on hold while I’ve been listening to this series. I was hooked right from the beginning and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Every time I had to stop and do something else it was still dominating my thoughts. Brian Pallino and Mindy Kennedy are fantastic narrators and really made me fall in love with their characters. I didn’t want this series to end and I am going to start from the beginning again because it was just incredible. I would definitely recommend this book. I absolutely loved it!!

One of my all time favourites!

The "Corruption" series audiobooks are another winner from C.D. Reiss. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this series ever since it was first released. Everything about it was perfect; from the addictive story to the brilliant narration. The entire listening experience was sheer joy.

This series is one of my all time favourites. I fell crazy in love with Antonio and Theresa's story. It is one that is jam packed with steamy sex, intense drama and passion like no other couple in the book world. All of these things have been portrayed superbly by Mindy Kennedy and Brian Pallino. The emotion from the story was carried across so well that this was the first audiobook that made me cry. There are so many heart-stopping moments that I was on the edge of my seat on many occasions.

I loved that this audiobook included a male narrator for the part of Antonio, rather than having just one person play both the male and female parts. This adds realism to the story and I have to say that Brian Pallino's Italian accent was to die for!! He spoke just as sexy as I imagined my Capo to sound.

If you haven't yet listened to an audibook from C.D. Reiss, I stongly recommend you doing so because they are truly the best I have listened to so far. It's not often that I prefer an audible edition to reading the actual book but in this authors case, she gets it right every single time and I am in audiobook heaven whilst listening to CD Reiss's beautiful words being read out loud by such fantastic storytellers. Hence why I can listen to them over and over again!

Could not put books down.

Powerful love, lots of carnage. Narration the was easy for me to lose myself into with feeling. I cried in last paragraph then was soothed in epilog. Strong characters and commitment.
These books had it all.
