Sweet Surrender

King's Trace Antiheroes, Book 1

De: Sav R. Miller

Narrado por: Kendall Taylor, Liam DiCosimo

After his father’s retirement, Elia Montalto took over organized crime in King’s Trace, Maine.

His pragmatic nature makes him popular and allows him to strike alliances with government officials, which keeps prying eyes off his business.

But even a town as small as theirs is not without risk or envy, and Elia has only ever really wanted one thing: Senator Harrison’s daughter.

As the eldest daughter of a corrupt politician, survival was Caroline Harrison’s only hope of one day being granted freedom. But her father has other plans, and when negotiations for her hand in marriage begin, all her dreams shatter.

That is until she makes an unlikely ally: the handsome, young boss of the local mafia. Elia makes an offer Caroline can’t refuse, though it becomes clear soon into their union that the senator’s daughter isn’t as innocent as she seems.

He may have promised her protection, but she isn’t the one who needs it.

Sweet Surrender is the first interconnected standalone in the King's Trace Antiheroes series, a dark romance trilogy centering around a corrupt small town in Maine. Listener discretion is advised.

Ruined by mispronunciation

Don’t editors instruct narrators in the pronunciation of names? Every time they said El-e-a I corrected them. It’s E-lee-ia. Haven’t they heard of Elia Kazan? Or watched Man From U.N.C.L.E with Elia Kuryakin? The male narrator’s attempt at an accent failed. I had to skip forward many chapters to get to the predictable ending. At least the book was free.

Caroline and Elia

Marriage of convenience, he falls first, and happily ever after. I rooted for Caroline the WHOLE BOOK! The twists had me shook and the at Elia’s heart is shown in the book is really something else. You are able to start falling in love with Juliette and just get a hint of her love interest in the next book. Not gunna lie, the last main scene was a little graphic for my liking but I’m not saying they didn’t deserve what was brought to them. Still Team Cash and Kal btw :)

Not much substance

Story is ok, just not a lot of substance, not a lot of detail, and not even kinda realistic. Could have had more build up.
