Alexius

Dark Sovereign, Book 1

De: Bella J

Narrado por: Stefanie Kay, Michael Pierce

It started with a simple offer...and it ended with me on my knees.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back.

Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life.

It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius. The man is a menace mantled with power, and it doesn't take us long to go at each other's throats.

But when he starts demanding more of me, I realize I'm just a lost stray in his world, and my odds of surviving are slim to none.

Alexius and his brothers control the moves of every pawn in this game.

And that's me. I'm the pawn.

The Dark Sovereign is a dark mafia romance intended for mature listeners.

Fun listen!

Fun and easy listen, good story, steamy scenes. Ends on a cliffhanger. Good narration. Going for the second book now!

Outrageously Good 🔥😱💕💥

I couldn't stop listening. All the characters were not your usual brothers. Great writing and Narration. And what a Krazy Cliffhanger. 😳🤔🤭

Sooo Good

Bella J is hands down my favorite dark suspense sexy crazy debauchery.
Alexius is a crazy hot sexy mafia guy who loves freaky sex! His band of brothers do too

Really Good Book! 📚

I really like this book! I must admit the cover model is what caught my attention! It had a good plot to it. Five Stars across the board on this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

S & M and trigger warnings

Maybe I didn't read reviews, but this book was NOT for me. The book seemed like it was maybe one of the author's first go.

Finally, a good dark Romance again

I must have read all the good ones till I found this series. No pussy footing around with this author, this book took off quickly and was not shy about the dark crazy stuff some of us love to read. It's got a lot of the triggers some of us use as a checklist. I was almost scared it was going to be a RH, but sort of dodged that bullet in book one :)
I don't have many personal triggers but make sure you are a dark smutty romance fan before reading or listening. (I'm really just a good housewife with guilty reading habits).
I won't give anything away.
I found book 4 on Tiktok and backtracked to book I to get the entire story.
The narrators are all good, I actually enjoy the angst in the male narrator's voice. I have heard him before so I was good with it :)
It does end on a cliffhanger, but that is always fine with me as long as the sequels are available immediately. Just starting book II, I enjoy how the characters arch into different people as the naughty romances pull new characteristics out of the characters.
Alexius is steamy and naughty, but all his brothers match that testosterone as book boyfriend alternatives. I'm mulling around the potential suspects as well, in the murders.
With that said, worth 5 stars and will probably finish the entire series in a few days :)

Disturbing 😳 in good dark ‘mafia’ way😅

Finished this in one day - some serious deviant spice! I don’t think I’ve listened to this genre with the “forensic” twist- Looking forward to the next one in the series

Hot AF

Some of the best ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 scenes I have listened to and I have over 500 titles in my library. The authors descriptive writing style sucks you in and just heightens the enjoyment of this book. If you are into rougher, explosive, taboo scenes this is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

great read!

loved the voice acting. and the story was great. loved it right up the the last second. ❤️🌶️🌶️🌶️

WOW!

If you can get passed the foul language, this was a pretty good book. The male narrator sounded pissed off the whole time. Also, I’m not really into the idea of “sharing one’s spouse” for any reason, so that was a total turn off for me. It ended with cliffhanger and many unresolved situations, so just a heads up. Not sure if I’m headed to the book 2.
