Vito

Santoro Mafia, Book 2

De: Lora Nox

Narrado por: Mollie Stark, Tor Thom

Deciding to come back to find my brother’s murderer?

Easy.

Staying away from the one who could get me killed?

Not so easy.

Eden

Nine years ago, I ran from this city. Now, I’ve returned to find my brother’s murderer.

To do that, I take his place as Gilly’s owner-operator–the one place in San Francisco’s criminal underworld where it’s a neutral zone, and there’s a clear you-shall-not-cross line drawn between me and the criminals.

That is, until Vito Santoro…

To him, I’m his Garden of Eden, and he was made to sin with me.

Vito

I’m the protector of my mafia family, and they come first. And that’s fine because I’m a one-and-done man and no woman has captured my interest for more.

But when I lay eyes on Gilly’s new owner-operator–the forbidden fruit that could result in my death–I can’t stay away. I promise myself one bite. Then two.

And when those who killed her brother target her… Well, then, my unhinged beast comes out to play.

Because Eden is mine. My forbidden fruit. My one-and-forever. My undoing. And I’ll paint the world red for her.

--

Dive into Vito, the captivating 2nd book in the mafia romance Santoro Mafia series, which features Vito and Eden’s story. It includes an MMC with possessive, “touch her and I’ll unalive you” vibes. There’s no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a HEA is guaranteed. This is a standalone book; however, for the best listening experience, it’s suggested to listen to the books in order.

His garden of Eden

Vito Santoro…..what a man! This enforcer is everything a mafia family needs. Gruff, vicious, will do anything for his family….chefs kiss! And Eden…..oh Eden. Ed to most but not him! This woman is a spit fire! Shes so spicy and fierce! The way this woman took no BS no matter how large the threat! She has her baggage and trauma but still holds her own. Given a task by her late brother she hits the ground running as well as to find out who mürdêred him. Aiken the puzzle master put everything in place without the world noticing. The forbidden Roman between Eden and Vito was perfect! When they found a place they could’ve together the book took OFF. This story had me on the edge of my seat questioning everyone’s motives! I felt Like a detective solving the case with the main characters. I loved everything about this story it was amazing! Tor tom as always does a Mafia man perfectly. The way he brought Vito’s character to life flawlessly was great. Mollie Stark… wow fantastic narration of Eden! All the stories I’ve listened to with Mollie have been sweet romantic stories but this! She brought this feisty spitfire to life in the best way! This story was super enjoyable and hard to put down I highly Recommend if you enjoy Mafia romance stories with the forbidden piece! The suspense will also hold you captive.

EDEN && VITO

I. Love. Forbidden. Love.

Molly Stark & Tor Thom did amazing in this duet!
I knew I would love this story. But the narration brought it to life even more and I’m obsessed with this series!

Gillies is the one place where everyone who is part of the criminal sanction can meet and there can be no blood spilled. The one rule: the owner needs to not be associated with anyone particular in this world.

When Eden’s brother is killed and now she needs to take over for him as his successor, she is now facing a difficult task. Because the one man her body wants and needs, is one she can’t have!

Vito doesn’t do relationships. He actually doesn’t do more than one night ever. But when he gets a call from the owner of Gillies and his one request is to “call Ed”, he doesn’t realize just how screwed he is!

I love forbidden love. And I love F it moments!
When two people have to fight for their love, it makes the story even better!

Lora. Another amazing book! Keep em coming!

Great 2nd Book

5/5 ⭐️ 3.5/5 🌶 5/5 🎧

*I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.*

I loved Vito's and Eden's relationship and personalities! They had me giggling, smirking, and blushing. Vito and Eden were a great couple to read about.

The side characters in this book were just as great as in Creed. I loved that Creed shows up a few times in this too. Lora wrote another great Mafia Romance! I'm ready for Massimo now!

Narrators Mollie Stark and Tor Thom did a great job! I would definitely listen to them again!

I would recommend this for anyone who loves Mafia romances, protective MMC, forbidden romance, and wants some spice.

Thank you Lora, and Blue Nose Audio for my ALC!

Stepping it up

I am a creed girly. But Vito is definitely giving him a run for his money.

Tor Thom did an amazing job bringing Vito to life. From his stalking of Eden to him making changes for her.

Mollie Stark truly gave Eden life. Eden is a strong resilient woman. That just wants to find who killed her brother.

This book has stepped it and showed up. Its truly fan yourself hawt. Can not wait for Massimo's story!
