Publisher's summary

They say there are three things you should do at least once in your life:

Dance like nobody’s watching.
Travel the world.
And fall hopelessly in love.

I aimed to do all three.

I went to Italy to find myself.
But he found me.

It was like a story book. Our eyes met across a crowded room. He asked me if I needed help reading the menu. We ate, we laughed, we danced, and I fell. Unfortunately, things didn’t go to plan, and we parted ways.

Two years later, our eyes meet across a room again.
Only this time I was on a date with another man.
He went crazy in a jealous fit.

But the man I met then is different now.
He’s colder, harder, and officially one of the most powerful men in Italy.
Dare I say it, even more enticing.

But if you dance with the devil, you get burnt.

And the fires in Italy are scalding hot.

An audio delight for your ears

The book was fun, it was good, the audio, the audio made this perfection for your ears. The accent work by both Emma Wilder and Dane Anderson was so fantastic that you were able to immerse yourself so much into the story you forgot you were listening to actors not using their own accents.
This was always a favorite TL Swan book and I'm so happy it came to audio, Enrico and Olivia had a lot thrown at them. When Enrico met Olivia he didn't even know he was part of a crime family, until his father died. Then it was all on him. And there was A LOT. Coming from Australia the entire Italian culture plus the mafia ties really gave Olivia so much to wade through. But they did it, through the death, the police, the set ups, the family drama, they did it.
Again, listen to this audio, you will not regret it.

Most amazing audiobook I’ve ever had the opportunity of listening too.

TL Swan has and always will be one of my favorite authors, so when I had the opportunity to listen to The Italian, I jumped on it so quickly. The narrators voices were so comforting, easy to listen to, and I absolutely adored the accent that both of them had. I’m definitely going to be looking for more audiobooks by them.

TL Swan always captures the most perfect, romantic and incredible love stories, through her amazing writing, and storytelling capabilities. Plus, she knows how to write a steamy scene or two and make ya blush.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live in Italy for a little bit and immerse myself in this amazing story of Olivia and Enrico.

I like it!

I love a good romance with narrators that do accents! This one delivers on so many levels. I hope we get more from this family because I can see another book or two.😎

The performance!!

The performance for this audio was AMAZING. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. There were a couple of things that I struggled with, the FC was whiney sometimes, and not to give too much away, but the MC toward the end made me question him and his loyalty, but still worth it.
