Publisher's summary

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn't good enough for her parents, and she isn't good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she's cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle's demands. And she doesn't have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her . . . and Venesa soon realizes he's the only one who's ever seen her for her.

There's just one problem: she can never have him.

Enzo "Loverboy" Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father, the strongest don in the northeast. When he's tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn't think twice.

Until he meets his fiancee's cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they'll both have to choose what's more important: duty to their families or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

Contains mature themes.

She does it again!

Guh, I loved this. I was a little worried with the strong accents initially, but I loved them! A longer book but I was engaged at everyone. Def one of her sweeter stories, no enemies to lovers but my god I loved it.

Morally Grey MCs

This Audiobook was a dark mafia romance retelling of The Little Mermaid. The FMC, Venesa, is loyal to a fault and no damsel in distress. Her strong character is one of the reasons the MMC, Enzo, falls for her. I liked the mutual pining but wasn’t a fan of emotional cheating (IMO). Overall, their story was entertaining, with a refreshing HEA about two morally grey characters who agree they’re too messed up to have kids.

Best in the series

Have the physical copy as well as the audio of every book in this series and this one is hands down the best so far. The narrators truly did these complicated characters justice and I cannot recommend this book enough! Absolutely worth the credit, do not hesitate

omg!

loved the story. Felt so sad for V. Man she really got the short end of the stick. Her family really sucked. I love her and E's love story. They are smoking 🔥🥵 hot together. I have waited so long for this book to release. Loved the narrators. E's narrator was so intense, He made those spicy acts so much more then I have ever heard in other stories. OMG HEART RACING HOT!!!!! Everyone should have friends like the guys. I'm obsessed with this series. Can't wait for Emily to write the next one. Recommended this 📚 book to everyone 18 +. Well guess I'll start over with book one and go through the whole series, Thanks again to the writer for another awesome story. definitely a 10/10.

excellent story

I enjoyed this book so much. The story is an amazing twist on a fun fairy tale. I love it sooo much

Sooooo good

The narrators were both amazing. Such a good story. Love the spice in here. I was rooting for her from page one and I’m already excited to give this a second listen.

My Favorite Book!!!

This book is perfection! The voice acting was so good it made the story feel real. I could watch the “movie” playing out in my head. I only wish this wasn’t the last book in the Never After Series. The fact that Emily McIntire wrote this while going through chemo and probably one of the hardest times in her life just shows so much about her strength and character. If you are on the fence about this book please take a chance IT IS WORTH IT!!!!
