Introducing a new, steamy Italian mafia romance must-listen for fans of Sadie Kincaid, Michelle Heard, and Ana Huang!

Born to inherit the Kings' empire, my birthright was stolen by my ruthless younger brother upon Papà’s death. Tired of lurking in his shadow, the upcoming war offers the perfect opportunity for me to seize back my throne.

That's when Rose storms into my life—a wild, unpredictable force of nature, a tantalizing distraction I can't afford but can't resist. She was meant to be nothing more than a fling, a fleeting escape from the dark world I inhabit.

But when my enemies cross the line and dare to lay their hands on her, all bets are off.

Unleashing the monster I keep buried deep inside, I'll stop at nothing to protect what's mine. Because in a world that's branded me a villain, there's no reason not to embrace the darkness.

Gritty

This story will keep you on the edge of your seat whilst reading or listening. The narration by Thor Thom and Fiona Claire was spot on. Their voices are easy to listen to and diverse and they did justice to the story that new to me author Sienna Cross wove. Told in duet narration this added to my enjoyment as I listened. Both Thor and Fiona brought all the passion and danger to their performances and held me captive.

There was a lot going on in Savage King. I am not a huge reader of Mafia romance, it is not a genre that I read very often. This is a story of danger, suspense and love and ticked it numerous boxes for me.

Dante, the oldest son was groomed to take over his fathers’ empire until his younger brother cut him out, now he is back and ready to claim what is rightfully his. A one-night stand with Rose was meant to be just that, but things change.

Full of twists and turns and some surprises I did not see coming this book will keep you invested from the first to the last word.

Love mafia romance!

I was ready to fall into a mafia romance again, and Sienna Cross filled my craving! Savage King, book 2 in her Kings of Temptation series fit the bill with a suspenseful, spicy story! Dante is the oldest son, being groomed to take over the throne. But upon his father's death, he is pushed aside by his younger brother. Now he is ready to take back what is his. Loyal to a fault, he is working to keep the family business on top, and the gangs on their side. Dante is dark and dangerous, the kind of man that can be irresistible to a woman, and when he and Rose meet, the encounter is smoking! Meant to be a one night stand, they do their best to keep to themselves. There will be a time though that Rose may need his help. That dangerous side is one to be afraid of and may be the only on to keep her from her stalker. But she may be the only one to win his heart. How does this all go down? It's got unexpected twists and turns, high suspense and dangerous scenes. And the spice level is on top! If you enjoy a great dark, mafia romance, then this one should be on your listen list!

Tor Thom and Fiona Clare are the storytellers, and boy can they tell a story and in duet narration! Thom pulls out all the stops as Dante. From the over protective, dangerous voice to the man on his knees for Rose, he finds the voice to fit the scene and make it come alive. Clare creates a feisty personality for Rose, bringing out her edgy independent side. She is strong yet vulnerable and ready to stand her ground. This team is fantastic at bringing a story alive and this one is wonderful.
