Publisher's summary

They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.
Mine were broken before we left church.
They say your heart only beats for one man.
Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.
I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.

They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.
One kiss.
Two men.
Three lives.
Entwined together.

And somewhere between these two men, I had to find my forever.

A refreshing “romance”

If you enjoy romance novels...you should definitely read/listen to this book. To be honest I’ve gotten tired of the monotony of romance novels, maybe I listened to my fair share. I began fast forwarding through most of them, listening to only some of it. This book is what and how they should be written, with a true love story and not so much about every sexual encounter and it drag on and on. I loved this book and it’s love story and I hope that if u read this comment, you trust that it will be what I say and take that chance and read/listen to it! I don’t think you will regret it!

Not my idea of romance

I wanted to try a new book based on passion, romance, and happy endings. This book just wasn't what I had in mind. perfect book if your into domineering foul mouthed men.

Amazing ride of vengeance, love and innocence

I couldn't stop listening ...the story of young innocent Francesca caught in a battle btw good and evil, love and hate, a bad cold Wolf stealing away a young woman that will melt his coldness...beautiful story and worth the Download

LJ Shen! I don’t know what to say!🤷🏾‍♀️TKT has overwhelmed me with emotions! I experienced so much anxiety and excitement while listening to this audiobook !Wolfe and Francesca had some absolutely terrible hurdles to overcome but came through phenomenally !👏🏾The trust, love and truth the couple had is amazing! Stephen Dexter and Savannah Peachwood were excellent narrators! I will definitely be listening to this audiobook several times again!

Unexpected emotional roller coaster!

LJ is a one clicked author for me because she writes such assholes that redeemed themselves so gloriously at the end. I went into the story blind which is the best way to do it because the twists comes at you suddenly. Savannah does such a great job emoting the innocence and conflict Francesca has for Wolfe. Stephen’s Wolfe is really so hate-able and multifaceted. This is the best kind of enemies to lovers book.

Long and drawn out

I liked the story it was sweet but honestly Francesca’s character is kinda wimpy it drove me crazy , but all in all the story’s as sweet...😐

Great listen!

One of my favorites of LJ’s books! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
A great story that tugs at your heart!

Good

I really enjoyed the story and romance.

Spoilers!!

*****

However, the LAST misunderstanding they had was COMPLETELY the heroines fault. She actually cheated on her husband by kissing another man. Did I agree with how our hero reacted by trying to make her believe he slept with someone else? Of course not! But honestly, SHE should have been the one to beg HIS forgiveness when she found out about the baby. NOT him. She humiliated him AND cheated on him. He just humiliated her back but didn't actually cheat.

AND she was always the one to NOT talk to him when she had doubts or insecurities, even when he was being very sweet.

So this one isn't a huge favorite of mine. At all.

The Kiss Thief

So many people have said this was one of their favorite reads of the month or year even and I have to say it did live up to the hype it’s gotten. So many feels in this one. Angst, sexual tension, unexpected love and heartache. People you thought you knew and loved showing their true colors and others surprising you. There were some really tough scenes here. Wolfe has so many walls and Francesca tested him in many ways. But I was happy with how everything turned out.

Just OK

He was interesting, she wasn't very. I found myself bored with her story and some of her lines were written so "dreamily" it came across as corny.
