‘Ti amo, mia cara’

The fine art of persuasion. Darius Rourke and his burning passion for a woman. The gentle Marianne…as beautiful as she is mysterious.

When presented with an opportunity to make her his bride, Darius takes it, and knows Marianne will finally belong only to him.

Or will she?

Marianne carries a secret. Something she believes will prevent her from ever being worthy to be loved by any man—even the masterful Darius, despite the fact he captivates her utterly.

A look… A caress… A kiss… A brooding sensuality. A lushly passionate tale of lovers entangled in the discovery of each other’s sins and secrets. As Darius and Marianne embark upon a journey together, they will find that learning to command is just as important as learning to surrender.

A man who knows what he wants...

A woman who needs him in order to know her worth…

‘Ti amo, mia cara'

A beautiful love story

This book will stay with me. The story was incredibly well written and the narration was superb. I found this before other works by Raine Miller, and I was happy to find references to Darius and Marianne in The Blackstone Affair series.

Both narrators hit the perfect tone for this story. Frankly, Shane East could read the phone book and make it come alive, but thankfully there are wonderful stories out there for him to lend his magic to instead.

sweet

Darius was in love with MaryAnn forva long time. He waited until she was old enough and ready to marry him. it was a very sweet yet erotic love story

Beautiful and well performed!

I loved this audiobook. The artists were great and the book content does not disappoint.

Duet narration would have made a huge difference!

Many reviews had negative comments about the narration. Shane East was wonderful but, India Baldwin did not perform the Hero’s voice masculine enough. If they would have done duet narration, where the female narrator does all the women’s voices and the male narrator did all the men’s voices, it would have made a very positive difference.

The story itself was well written and was likely the most complete 4 hour novel I’ve ever listened to. That being said, had this not been included in the Romance package, I never would have spent a precious credit on such a short novel. The novel was good but, it could have been great if it would have been twice as long.

Loved this book

I especially loved Radius as a very strong alpha male. I think all the beautiful words he said to her were beautifully writen.

Great Love Story

A story about a man falling in love with a young girl when he was a full grow man a waiting for her to grow up to marry her.

Enchanting period love and passion driven.

Wonderful read. Great if you are hungry for appropriate behavior in love and wildly wonderful behavior in the bedroom. Kelly

Perfect short steamy and engaging

The story was a very hot performance for a historical romance. I well enjoyed nice short read.

Loved the story. Absolutely loved the narration.

Loved the story. Absolutely loved the narration. I Ioved that it was a split narration by characters during the story instead of at the end of chapters.

Great book.

I loved it. just the right amount of romance and sexy hero in a short book.
