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

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

Wow

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.

Broken heroes

I loved this book for the fact that the leads were imperfect, either damaged physically or emotionally and needed the other to help them heal. it made it so much more real for me. The narration was excellent and I adored the performances throughout!

What a great surprise!

Downloaded on a whim and it was an awesome listen. The MCs were both likeable, and the story engaging. Nina wasn’t a pushover to his lifestyle. Will try the next one in the series for sure

not quite like the others

not quite like other forced marriages a little more tame on the hate and dominance and I'm feeling it.

Dark Mafia Romance

Russian mafia, blackmail bride, sounds cliche but I really loved this story, characters were very likable, audiobook narration was very good. Pleasantly surprised.
