Publisher's summary

Rafael

I came for war. I left with an obsession.

With one look, Isa captivated me. She consumed me, drawing me into her world without ever knowing the dangers of mine. I intend to make her mine, no matter what lies I need to tell to manipulate her into falling in love with El Diablo. It should be simple enough, but secrets lurk in the depths of her multicolored eyes, and I’ll do anything to understand what broke her before I had the chance. Because she’s mine to break.

Isa

Rafael Ibarra tore through my life like a raging inferno.

Consuming every part of me he touches, he promises to show me passion and the real Ibiza. Though our tryst can never be anything but temporary, I never want to leave the man who makes me wish things were different. But there’s a nightmare hiding within his multicolored gaze, a phantom rattling at the cages who wants to devour me, to take me and claim me as his. He’s temptation, pushing me toward sin with his wicked touch. But the sins of the flesh are different from the sins of the mind, and as much as I hate his secrets…I will never tell him my own.

Until Tomorrow Comes is the first book in the Beauty in Lies series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a dark mafia romance and contains graphic violence, mature content, and elements that may be triggering. Please listen at your own discretion.

IT’S 🖤 &🫣 &💣 &🌪 &☠️ &😵😵‍💫🫢🤭 &🩸⛓🪓 &🔥🔥🔥 & I ❤️ IT

Pheweee, I just finished the 37+ hour marathon of this wickedly delicious (and sometimes dark) rollercoaster romance.. and yes, I really enjoyed their very toxic twisted ride. Rafael is a cold, obsessive, possessive, dominant, deviant, dirty-talking anti-hero who definitely earns and owns his reputation as El Diablo. He’s the handsome Mafia King of Ibiza.. a ruthless regal dark ruler of all he desires. And, since their eyes briefly met and held where both their worlds stood still for seconds, minutes or hours sixteen months ago, Rafael’s only desire is to worship the sweet, sassy, naive, virginal Isa. So now celibate Rafael impatiently waits for Isa’s eighteenth birthday which gives him a chance to study his Princesa and spin a very devious and devilish web. A web Isa innocently steps right into which starts a manipulation of charming, intense, lust-filled Ibiza week of wooing, swoons, sex and secrets. However, it ends in kidnapping, unrepentant sins, turbulent waters, explosive toxic chemistry, highly charged emotions, verbal sparring, defiance, punishments, hot pleasures, toxic blowups, hunger, fire, flames, dirty talk, lust fuelled dark desires and poisonous secrets. Right from the start, it was too late to save Isa from his well-crafted web, from his soft touches, from his touching heartfelt sentiments, from his often cruel besotted worship.. until she tried to run from him. Then the real monster reared his villainous head.

Over these books Isa’s obsessive, possessive, protective, unpredictable, merciless dark lover broke her, pushed her, reshaped her, corrupted her, saved her and revealed the powerful Queen he knew she was always meant to be. But first they'd be a war of wills, desire vs distrust, angst vs affection, an all-consuming obsessive lust for each other, sexual brutal punishments including choking and a forced marriage. Enough to put you off?.. well hold on, there’s more!! A forced pregnancy, a joyous spilling of other people’s and their own blood, hot branding irons, danger, heartbreak, joy, tragedy, twisted passion, grief, torture, violence, suspense, uncontrollable jealousy, beautiful lies, brutal truths, betrayal, twisty shocking revelations, villainous twists and life-threatening danger before the Queen can finally share her fukd up Devil’s throne.. if she can love the monster as well as the man.

Worth a credit? Yes x 4.. after the “what the Hell” start, I warmed to the deviant and volatile age-gap story, I liked the growth of the villainous behaviour, I loved the strong primary and supportive secondary characters and the evil twin’s demise. And I addictively consumed the ranty, ragey explosive toxic chapters of combustible chemistry read by two great narrators. Yes, Heather and Fernando were the perfect couple to bring Isa and Rafael’s steamy rollercoaster to life. At the start of this book comes a serious warning you need to be sure you want to proceed because, over this long and addictive four book journey, the unapologetic psycho anti-hero’s actions and the couple’s twisted addiction to each other, leads them down some dark uncharted sexual paths.. and revenge leads to roads where monsters come out to play with their prey. It’s not for everyone.. but I unashamedly loved it.

First book to an Awesome series!

Adelaide is freaking brilliant at writing her dark and sexy mafia men. Rafe is in a league of his own. Fernando Guerra is a new to me narrator. He was the perfect Rafe and the way his name rolls off his tongue when he says…Rafael is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mixed Feelings About This Books

There were a lot of plot twists in the story. I didn't like how the characters ended up in Ibiza without the walk through the story. I was expecting a lot from the ending. This guy preyed on the young lady for over a year, he took her virginity, and he killed a lot of people. Then, he ended drugging her and kidnapping her, which was his first attempt. 🤔

🌶️🌶️🌶️

She really trusted the wrong people and the sad part was her best friend is the reason why she got kidnapped I can’t wait to find out why her sister hated her

yeah .. not my jam

Rafael & Isa: TRIGGERS: PTSD, twin estrangement, stalking, voyeurism, rohypnol, sexual assault, adult, torture, kidnapping. I'm not even sure what the hell I just read but I'm not here for it. So Rafael is this big Mafia guy from Ibiza. He is in Chicago for business when he sees twins, Isa and Odina. He decides immediately that Isa will be his. So he has his men jump through all sorts of hoops to put her under surveillance until she's 18 when he will take her. A little red flaggy, but what can you do? 🤨 Isa is, I guess, the good twin for lack of a better phrase while Odina is a wild child and expresses an extreme dislike for her sister. She purposely drugs her so that one of the guys in school could possible sexual assault her .. just because she is a prude. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. There's a time jump and Isa is on her way for a trip to… you guessed it… Ibiza! She's going with her best friend and a foreign exchange student who came from Ibiza and is a secret plant by Rafael. When they get there Rafael makes his move. The two spend days together and nights with both of them withholding some serious secrets. One being, I'm a big bad Mafia type guy and I like to kill people for breakfast. This story has so many plot holes in it that I couldn't follow without losing interest a few times. Isa is very book smart but not street smart if you know what I mean. It's very concerning and frustrating. I am not sure I really want to continue with this .. it was a long first book, full of really nothing… and then a freaking cliffhanger!

performance great but not into men liking girls

if I was younger, I might have enjoyed this book. but as I got older, I realized that men that like young girls, are not mature. but ******this is probably a spoiler so don't read if you don't want to know****** he falls in love with her when she is 16 and waits till she is 18. not my cup of tea

good book

I loved the beginning and the end!!! the middle was a little bit too long. I love mafia books but I like lots of action in them. it got to be all about Isa. you should have put mafia action in the middle as well. overall not too bad.

What does tomorrow bring?

I enjoyed that this was a quick listen. The story is good and I was a little shocked at some of the characters twist and turns. The roll of that R had his name stuck in my head and the cliffhanger has me ready for book 2

Fun listen.. onto the second

This book was pretty good. I was thankful for the time jump but I am surprised that the main plot point came to a head at the very end (cliffhanger). I enjoyed the book enough to want and continue the series. I hope it keeps the momentum. Also has some good spicy scenes. Would recommend.

Rafe & Isa

Wow! An darkly intense, suspenseful and twisted road to travel with Rafe and Isa. At first I'd admit I was not sure about this age gap but these two fit together in a way that was not make me cringe. Their chemistry was palpable, they definitely heated up these pages. But the secrets, lies and so many hidden truths can ruin what these two started with one another. I can not wait to see what comes next.

Love love this series

I love this story, it’s taboo with some hearty scenes but so good. I can’t help but love Raph! D the voices are fantastic and totally match the characters for me.

Best books I have read and listen ! Haven’t found one more gripping then these. Of
You like dark mafia it’s brilliant.
