Scarred Regrets

A Dark Mafia Romance (The Bellandi Crime Syndicate Series, Book 5)

By: Adelaide Forrest

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly, Patrick Zeller

Broken men don’t fall in love.

We linger in the darkness, consumed by the sins that define us.

Irina is the sole reason my heart beats. She’s everything that matters in a world filled with evil that a woman so good and pure should never have to see.

She’ll add another scar to my collection—this one engraved on my heart.

She’s taken by our enemy to use for his vengeance. Even knowing she can never be mine, I’ll stop at nothing to see her safe.

The Irina I rescue isn’t the same feisty woman they stole.

Her soul is broken. Her heart is hollow like mine, because of the things she’s seen. She needs me in a way I’ve never known.

And I will destroy the man who shattered what’s mine.

Scarred Regrets is a full-length standalone romance, but the series presents a better listening experience when following the suggested order. This series contains dark elements, including over-the-top antiheroes who do as they please. Listen at your own discretion.

WOW just WOW

YOU WILL FEEL ALL EMOTIONS IN THIS ONE !!!Definitely wished this story would've been less dark like the others in the series and maybe a lil sad for scars past. but as I knew it won't be something bout scars story I just knew it would be a devastating one 💔 ooh how I cried for Irena I cried for Paolo (scar) and for some reason this was a dark one compared to the others which is so unfair especially for scar and for all that Irena does for other and her character sUCH sweetheart then the other wifes. these 2 are perfect for each other healing. THIS THE DARKEST OF ALL BUT THE BEST ONE OF THE SERIES.

No Regrets...

This series has pushed me to my limits and emotions...however Scarred Regrets is the absolute HARDEST story I have ever listened to. Amazing story but gut wrenching at the same time. Scar and Irina have definitely scarred my soul with their story.

Listen to the warnings overall loved the story

 I have enjoyed this whole series, and I waiting to hear scar story knowing his childhood was very traumatic. This is nowhere near the darkest story I’ve ever read, but it definitely did bring me to tears when it explained scar’s history, and what happened to Irina. I love the way that scar took care of her and helped her gain back confidence in herself. He showed her how to fight and protect herself so that she could never feel weak again. They both helped each other to overcome their past while having something to fight and live for .

What an intricate story line!!

Despite what I know will be terrible triggers due to the topics that are touched upon, the book was great. I would have listened straight through the entire thing if I could have tolerated the female vocals. They aren’t bad, just spoken like she was reading… The characters were well developed and the steamy scenes were intense and made you almost feel guilty for liking them. Over all, just get it if you can handle sexual triggers and trauma.

Plenty of Drama

Beware: So many triggers in this audiobook. This was all encompassing and I don’t think there was an emotion left out. Not a boring. I’m glad this was fantasy or I would’ve questioned many scenes. The FMC was strong and what she had endured only to have the MMC be an arrogant alpha/DOM who degraded the FMC - that’s when I saw her as weak. Narrators did a great job job.
