Publisher's summary

Gio
Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only.
A monster.
My father did everything in his power to make sure that’s exactly what I became too.
He wasn’t expecting that the monster he created would be the one to take him out though.
Now I’m in charge. Of the family, the empire. Everything.
I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live. I didn’t want my four younger brothers to have to remain in the house of horrors, aka our childhood home, any longer than they had to be.
But the second I lay eyes on my new realtor, my sole focus becomes making her mine in every way possible.

Eloise
I’ve worked my ass off to land the elite property listings in Melbourne.
The downfall? Elite properties come with elite assholes.
I’ve learnt over the past year how to deal with the suggestive comments and overly friendly touches from prospective buyers.
When I meet my latest client, Gio De Bellis, all my skills seem to go on vacation.
Because one look at him has me wanting to throw caution to the wind and give in to the temptation he’s offering.
But my career is way more important to me than one sinfully appetising, hot piece of man candy. At least, I think it is…

Narration takes this story to another level !

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

Wow, what a wild ride this was! 😍 Right from the prologue, the intense drama pulls you in, setting the stage with the mystery and extreme family damage involving Santo and Shelly. You just know you're in for something big! The tension and high stakes had me hooked immediately.

Gio De Bellis is everything you’d want in a mafia boss—intense, powerful, and irresistibly dangerous. 😏 After stepping up to take over the crime family, Gio's focus is on providing structure for his four brothers, who share a deep bond despite the chaos around them. But with constant attacks and the revelation that their monster of a father was even worse than they knew, Gio’s journey is anything but easy.

Then there's Eloise, who enters Gio's life with all the fireworks you could hope for. It’s insta-love for this Mafia Bachelor, and their chemistry is off the charts. 🔥🔥🔥 Meeting Eloise’s girlfriend group added a fun and relatable layer to the story, providing a nice balance to the dark and gritty world they live in.

Amidst all the mafia chaos—mystery, attacks, and rebuilding their business—the brothers are also moving into a new house, adding even more tension to their already complicated lives. The suspense in this mafia story is woven perfectly with the love between Gio and Eloise, making for an irresistible read. 😱 The dark moments, especially involving Eloise and the sensitive SA scenes, are intense and raw, so definitely check those trigger warnings.

If you’re a fan of mafia romance with a side of suspense, deep family ties, and steamy insta-love, A Sinner's Promise is for you! 🎧🔥 The narration by Shane East and Sofia Lette takes this story to another level. There are some very dark moments, but the love story and the gripping mafia plot make it all worth it. I can’t wait to see where the De Bellis family goes next!

Happy Reading/listening! 🎉💖

so good

I could not stop reading. loved this one. The MMC was so protective and possessive. I love the family dynamic as well. can't wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Gio ♥️

A great start to the De Bellis crime family. Can't wait for the rest to be available

narrators were excellant, loved the accents

The narrators did a wonderful job, Shane East is amazing! the story was alright maybe a bit too much spice, it got repetitive, some action up, ok listen up until the SA. didn't like that at all. fmc was a bit annoying throughout the whole book, started skimming towards the ens. Ending is abrupt and a bit anti climactic. the hea is sweet.
