Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Story
The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I’ll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You.

Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

Story
“I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.” When those words left the lips of Damien Shaw, my childhood nemesis, I should have told him to kick rocks right then and there. But sadly, his scheme to impress his boss left me with something to gain from it too—getting my meddling mother, who was obsessed with my love life, off my back just in time for my parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary celebration in Hawaii.
Publisher's Summary
A top 30 Amazon best seller
King (noun):
1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy
2) The most powerful man in a group
3) Liam Black
He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.
But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero.
And - as I’d soon find out - having a king save your life comes with a price.
Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

Another Banger from Geissinger
I almost always love Geissingers work and especially her mafia romances. She balances believability with the intensity and troupes we love perfectly.
I put off listening to this one after listening to the sample, because personally I just wasn't a huge fan of the accent the female narrator uses for the FMC, it's not a bad performance by any means just a personal preference thing, but once I got used to it it didn't really bother me. Troy Duran is always great and at least to me (a non Irish person) his accent sounds pretty good. It's also Duet narration, which I love.
It's nothing crazy plot-wise, in fact, there isn't much of a subplot at all. Geissinger's sort of spin-off series 'Queens and Monsters definitely generally has a bit more going on that front if that's something your looking for, but in a relatively short and sweet book like this, there didn't need to be. It was all about the whirlwind romance with some minor plot points to move things along and that was fine by me since.

Beautifully Done
At first I'll admit, it was hard to imagine Tru was soo young as the narrators voice to me, sounded soo much older so I didn't quite get the whole age gap vibe. This soon didn't become too much of an issue as the story was too hot and interesting to dwell on.
As someone who read the Queens & Monsters Series first and absolutely ADORED it, I have to say I wish I had read this one first. I loved Liam and I loved Killian and I LOVED seeing Declan right from the beginning.

Amazing
Time after time I have read mafia romance and have been disappointed. I am so sick of reading the tired troupe about an innocent 18 year old virgin and a gorgeous but cruel mafia boss.
Finally here is a story where the woman is strong, intelligent and knows who she is. From the start Liam always treats Tru with respect and more importantly she treats herself that way as well.
Their love story is sweet, funny and hot! My only complaint is it wasn't longer but then again it also wasn't filled with long winded, boring internal waffling.
The narration is one of the best I've heard for a long time. Definitely well worth the credit.
