Publisher's Summary

Payton

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.

Nero

The first time I took a man's life, I knew there'd be no going back, no normal existence in the cards for me. Instead of walking away, I climbed a mountain of bodies and created my own destiny by forming The Alliance. And I was fine with that, content enough to carry on.

Until I stepped through those open doors, and into her life.

I should've walked away. Should've gone right back out the door I came through. But I didn't. And now her life is in danger. That's the thing about being a bad man. I'll happily paint the streets red to protect what's mine.

And Payton is mine. Whether she knows it or not.

Great Story

I liked this for a kind of mafia book. I will say the male narrator made it for me! The tone he used in this book was so freaking good. The character was a bit older and the male narrator fitted his age perfectly.

He does a really lame female voice

It’s disappointing that they have a male and female doing the voices, but still have the male do that horrible female voice in his chapters.
Found it hard to get into his parts, especially the spice… terrible mocking sooky voice - compared to the strong actual female voice

Unexpected and a good read

Didn't follow the usual Mafia formula. I enjoyed the main M character's honestly and growth, while the main F character's reactions were unexpected but a welcome change from the norm. Good narration and I liked the writing style. Am downloading Book 2 now.

Nero is my new book boyfriend

I really enjoyed this book, I loved the light stalking and obsession Nero has with Payton.
I would have liked to see Payton be a little tougher but that is my only gripe I have with this book.

Nero

Started out ok but lost it half way through - It didn't keep my interest. Fell short and struggled to finish.

Enjoyed - well worth a read/listen

Well written with a great storyline that moved really well.
