About this listen

Nina

Charming, captivating, seductive—and a cold-blooded killer. I married the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva anyway. I had to, it was part of the deal.

Now, I’m faking marital bliss as I tremble with fear, and I cannot wait to be out of the clutches of this ruthless man.

Roman

I get anything I desire, and I want this perfectly imperfect little manipulator. The way she can deceive anyone into believing she’s crazy in love with me just makes me want her even more.

She doesn't know it yet, but I am not letting her go.

The deal is off.

Loved this. An easy listen and I was engaged the whole time. Not super smutty but I enjoyed the marriage of convenience trope

This was a great read. Of a forced marriage to save her dad but it soon turned till love, till she saw something she shouldn’t and she left. Then a voice of reason talked to her and she realised their love was forever.
Narration was awesome.

Wow

This was a really cute mafia romance. Definitely not as dark as I am used to but it the relationship development is so sweet and the MMC does such a great job at loving her. Definitely one of my faves. Not long enough though. I could listen to their love story for at least another 5 hours

So cute

Loved the characters, great story. The performances were great. Really enjoyed main characters with a bit of grit and real problems rather than typical rich idiots. The female lead was nuanced like a real person.

Great story
