Little Bird

A Dark Enemies to Lovers Romance (Twisted City Duet, Book 1)

By: Ria Wilde

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Lucy Rivers

Wren

I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.

Lex

Wren Valentine, my sweet Little Bird. I had no right dragging her into my world of violence and bloodshed, but I did it anyway. I am the king, sitting on a throne of chaos. She was supposed to be the enemy, the means to an end, but she became much more than that. In this life, you take what you want and strike down those who oppose you.

She is mine.

And I'll paint the streets red if anyone dares to take her.

Little Bird is book one in the Twisted City Duet. If you like dark, dirty, and suspenseful romance, this one's for you!

What a book!

Loved the books but the narrators made this audiobook perfect. It is a Must read!!!!

A steamy and descriptive mafia romance

Little Bird is a story of revenge. Alexander Silver is the King of his city as was his father before him and so on. After Marcus Valentine kills Alex's mother- the only woman he ever loved in a failed attempt to overtake the city, Alex (Lex) is hell bent on avenging her death, and what better way than to kidnap Wren- the beautiful daughter of Valentine.

Wren ended up being a lot more than Lex expected. Not only did she put up one hell of a fight, she never stopped and it only amplified the instant chemistry between them. The consistent push and pull between Wren and Lex was palpable and both Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers did an excellent job portraying their characters emotions and strong personalities.

Both the author and narrators were new to me, but as the book is a dark mafia romance (my favorite) I knew I wanted to give it a listen. Ria Wilde has the amazing skill of describing scenes to the most minute detail. I love that! There is plenty of violence so be prepared. Lex is the monster under your bed. I can't wait to listen to Book 2 to see how the story concludes. I was sent a free audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Suspenseful Mafia Story!

Whoa! This suspenseful mafia dark romance surprised me more than once. I have listened to dark stories before but this one is darker than dark. I like mafia stories to no end and this one is no exception. I enjoyed the characters, their strengths and their growth. That Wren! Love her! She is so strong and has that inner fire that keeps her going.

Just when I thought everything was finally going to work out….Cliffhanger! Arg! Luckily book two, Twisted King, is readily available for me to finish this duet. And Dive right in I did!

I did listen to this on audio. Joe Arden and Lucy Rives do a wonderful job narrating. Joe Arden has that voice of a mafia guy down so good.

Perfection

Absolutely perfect beginning to end. Story, narrators. Everything.

Cannot wait to listen to book 2!

Amazing!

I have read this series and I am so glad that Joe and Lucy were picked to voice Wren and Lex. They have been two of my favorite characters for a long time! This mafia romance has it all! Can’t wait for the next one!!

love it

love like it very much so much so much love it very very much so far

Holy cow, I'm going to throw up with that ending...

Wow, what a cliffhanger, I'm terrified of this next book, not going to lie. This was phenomenal, the entire thing, I have not a single complaint on ANYTHING. Period. On to book 2.

Amazing!!!!

I have a physical copy, kindle copy, and had to get the audio!! These narrators absolutely killed it!!!

Dark romance, spicey, enemies to lovers!! Wren is a normal girl, with a crazy rich daddy. She gets thrown into a fight she never even knew existed. While Lex is the evil king who gets wrapped around his little bird.

Loved it all and the characters just came to life in a whole different way thanks to Joe and Lucy!! They were so amazing!

Gonna just jump into the second book!

Dark - but so good.

I haven’t listened to many dark stories or even mafia stories - but this book changed my mind about that. Can’t wait for the conclusion.

Joe Arden was flawless as usual and this is my first time listening to Lucy Rivers - it won’t be my last.

Such great performances bringing this story to life.

Dark, steamy and action packed!

What an amazing start to this duet! “Little Bird” is a dark, action packed and steamy romance I couldn’t stop listening to.

Lex has his eye on his enemy’s daughter, Wren Valentine. Wren has lived in a somewhat cloudy bubble and really has no idea what her life could have or will be.

Wow, I loved Wren from the very first chapter. She’s strong, smart and is a certified baddie. Her “I can do whatever I need to do to survive” attitude was screaming in my ears and I loved it. And Lex… he’s dark and delicious. I love a dark anti-hero and he is a great example of it. He’s the King of the city and nothing can bring him down, other than finding his Queen. I loved their raw chemistry and their connection that they built among their crazy circumstances. It’s a duet so it ends in a cliffhanger that had me starting the second book immediately.

Oh how I love dark and dangerous Joe Arden. He brought the darkness of Lex to life and I was enraptured by his performance. Lucy Rivers was the perfect choice to bring the fiery Wren to life. She brought all of her emotions and independent personality to life.
