Publisher's Summary

She’s my weakness, my obsession. And now my prisoner.

I spent 12 long years in a Siberian prison.

Since my release, nothing's held my interest.

Nothing except her.

Week after week, I watch her band perform.

I can't get her out of my mind.

When my past catches up to me, she becomes a target.

The only way to save her is to lock her away.

Hold her prisoner until things blow over.

She’ll never forgive me now, but I can’t explain.

I can’t talk.

Sweetest mafia story I’ve listened to!

So while I do love mafia/criminal themed romance books and darker themes in my romance in general, I also really enjoy when the morally grey/villainous H is incredibly kind and sweet to the h, that was this book. I can’t recall ever liking a H in a mafia book more, he’s so attentive, kind, concerned about how he treats the h, even when he’s essentially kidnapped her to keep the baddies from getting to her the way he treats her is actually really cute when normally this scenario has the H being a little rough or really overbearing in similar books.

There is some violence as you’d expect from a mafia romance but nothing is extremely graphic and the violence isn’t lingered on, it’s more a quick passing thing for the main characters. The relationship and both the H and h coming to terms with their issues are the bulk of the story.

The narrator did a great job, his accents were perfect, I would have preferred duet narration (a man reading the men and a woman reading all of the women) as that’s always a favorite of mine but he did a fantastic job.

I’m definitely interested in listening to more from this author and as always will cross my fingers for duet narration in the future!

Loved it

This series keeps getting better & better. I couldn't get enough of Oleg & Story. I finished this book in a day. l loved the story, the characters & the narration. Can't wait to start the next.

Love this series

I was only going to read the first book in the series, but each book made me want to read the next. Only disappointment is that book 4 The Soilder.

Yes, Yes, Yes!

This is the one I’ve been waiting for! I love Oleg and Story so much! Thanks for bringing them to life in audio!

Loved it

Benjamin Sands is an excellent narrator for this book. I love listening to books when I have the time and Renee Rose's books are some of my favorites.

silence never sounded so good

I love this book series, and the audios are just as wonderful. Mr. Sands does a great job as the multi-character narrator. I love how Renee Rose gives us strong, female characters that throw their alpha male counterparts for a loop. Story and Oleg take his inability to speak and craft a relationship that goes beyond the power of speech. Their story has humor, hardship, and an XL dose of romance. I expect nothing less from one of my favorite authors. Can't wait to listen to another from this series.

Oleg is the BEST!!!!

If you’ve read any other stories in this series, I’m sure you’ve “met” Oleg. He is the Enforcer as the title suggests, and to keep him from talking years ago he had his tongue cut out. Oleg does not interact. No sign language, no nods or reactions; just closes himself off.

Except for Story – lead singer of the Storytellers. He goes to watch her concert every Saturday night. When she needs help, he is there for her, and the relationship begins. Two very different people who bring out the best in each other.

Their relationship affects all who live in the penthouse of the Kremlin. Fabulous and original storyline. I loved it!!

The narration is perfect – Oleg has a Russian accent, so adds reality.

**I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book**

I Enjoyed it!

I love this kind of, easy to listen to romance! I’m hoping the rest of the series becomes available on audible soon!!!!

10 awesome stars

Ten awesome stars!!! You will fall in love with Oleg and Story just as I did. Oleg is big, bad, mafia, dangerous with a heart of gold guy who will do anything to protect Story. Danger, intense, secrets, hot, amazing chemistry and banter. Loved this book so much!

Narration Added to the Story

I liked Oleg's book. His background story was sad and really screwed up. Even after so many years, some part of him thought that Skapel had rendered some level of kindness.

Story had her own issues and challenges regarding abandonment and people not being dependable. It was sad that she labeled her fears as instincts. I did like that Story didn't judge him based on his size or lack if communication.

It was thought that Oleg couldn't communicate. What really was going on is he had no desire to communicate until he got more involved with Story. Oleg held himself so closely, that no one at the Kremlin thought about ways to communicate with him. They accepted the face that he showed them, minimal engagement.

This was more of a sweet romance, with a little suspense, action, and violence, lol. The women of the Kremlin are a lot braver than me.

Amazing

I love this series the audio books are great cant wait for the next one and the narration was brilliant x

They’ve danced around but fate moves things along

Oleg and Story's journey of self-awakening, and opening, themselves up to each other is epic.

This series kicked off with The Director and for me it promised so much, it certainly lived up to expectations with more details being released of their back story. Oleg's journey of how he came to lose his voice was highly emotional, to say the least. His one chance at love is nearly destroyed before it can begin when Story's life is put at risk due to his past. Oleg will quite literally do anything to protect her, she has never stayed in a long term relationship but she allows Oleg to slip past her barriers. Do not wish to give away any spoilers but can guarantee if you are undecided about what to listen to next then 100% recommend listening.

Oleg and Story's journey of self-awakening, and opening themselves up to each other is epic.

Benjamin is a natural storyteller, with a smooth voice to carry off the dual roles.
