Merciful Lies

Jersey Bad Boys, Book 1

By: C.D. Gorri

Narrated by: Elle Sonali, Mick Fanning

Lies can be merciful. It just depends on the why.

Anna: I knew the second I saw him, my life would change forever. When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies. Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him.

One night. That was all. But it would leave me wrecked. Actions always had consequences. Six months later, my brother was killed by a rival organization, and now they were after me. There was only one place I could go to keep my unborn baby safe. I just hoped the king would be merciful.

Possessive

C. D, Gori story is entertaining, exciting, steamy. Nico was obsessed with Anna, even though he never met her.He used her brother as a pawn, to use him as bait for Anna.He’s dominant, possessive, manipulating,Anna is smart, sweet, understanding, Their connection is hot, electric, and very steamy, One thing that could tear them apart is Nico’s lies, lies of omission could tear them apart.Ellie Somali and Mick Fanning are new narrators for me. I could feel every emotion of angst, anger and love. Very well done

Nico & Anna

Another wonderful book written by C.D. Gorri! After reading the Billionaire's series, I knew I had to read this new series, and man, did it not disappoint!
I devoured this book in a matter of hours!
For all the girls falling for the bad guys, this one is for you!
Nico and Anna may be my favorite couple that C.D. Gorri has written!
And the spice 🥵
I can't wait for the next book!!

Insta-Love & Mafia King!

I really enjoyed Merciful Love! The story was engaging, the romance was steamy, and the characters had great chemistry. The only reason for the half-star drop is that the male narration took a little getting used to—but once I did, it worked well.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Mafia romance

Merciful Lies by C.D. Gorri is awesome dark mafia romance. Elle Sonali and Mick Fanning did an excellent job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, enjoyable, steamy, sexy, engaging, great chemistry between the two main characters, exciting, shocking, and more. Nico Fury is king of the Vipers an underworld organization. When Anna brother needs to pay off a debt he uses her to do it. Later her brother is killed by another underworld organization. Anna seeks help from Nico Fury because the other organization wants her dead too. Will Nico help her? What will the cost be? Can she hind the truth from him? When he find out she is pregnant what will he do then? I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend

Loved it

Such a hot and sweet story. Love the guys voice and the performance was outstanding.

Easy Read/listen

Really great read that had spice and plot to keep me interested from start to finish. Nico was an over-the-top possessive hero that you couldn't help but love, I really love a morally gray MMC especially when they have a little bit of a Robin Hood complex. There was a little bit laugh out loud moments, The narration was perfect with the narrators chosen. Will defiantly pick up other books and Audiobooks from this author.

fabulous audiobook

Wow! Just wow! The moment I started to read this book, I couldn't put it down. I could move until the end. I was so captive by this book that I couldn't do anything until I finished it. Nico...criminal, dangerous, protective, sexy, and all man. I'm swooning over this bad boy man.
The audiobook is so hot to listen to. Grab at fan while you listen to Elle Sonali and Mick Fanning brings Anna and Nico hot steamy story to life. I loved it!

His Love Burns Hotter Than Fire

This was my first book by this author, and I am completely obsessed! As the first in the series, it sets the tone perfectly—dark, intense, and utterly captivating. There’s nothing wrong with a little unhealthy obsession (in books, of course 😉), and the mafia king delivers it flawlessly. Ruthless to the world, but a devoted, possessive force to the woman he loves—an all-in, no-holds-barred kind of man. Yes. Please.

No pointless games, no unnecessary drama—just raw, burning desire wrapped in danger and devotion. The tension was electric, the spice was scorching, and every moment was dripping with intensity. More of this, please! The narration kept me hooked from start to finish, making this dark, obsessive love story even more irresistible. I need the next book now!

Excellent Story! Amazing Narrators! I Loved It!

OMG… I absolutely LOVED this Audiobook. I was already in love with the story when I read it. But this audio version is like the icing on the cake!

The narrator for Anna was amazing! Her vocals truly brought the character of Anna to life.

The narrator for Nico Fury was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! As someone originally from NY but spent just as much time in Newark, NJ, his Jersey accent was spot on! It made the story more enjoyable.

I highly recommend this audiobook. It’s an excellent companion to listen to while you have the paperback or ebook in hand.

The Two narrators are Fantastic

I have read the story but listening WOW that took it to another level of goodness. Loved the narrator for Anna she is clear-spoken and brings the character to life.
The narrator for Nico blows that character out of the ballpark.
I love dual narration books and these two remind me why. Grab it and listen for yourself it's super enjoyable.
