About this listen
I thought he was nothing more than a rebellious fling. But now I’m his…with no way out.
Ibiza was meant to be an escape. With my father dead, my brother sent away, and my mother frantically trying to marry me off to anyone who will have me, all I want is to forget all of this is happening. So when my friends give me the opportunity to sneak away with them to the mecca of yachts, parties, extravagance and sin–I take my chance and go.
I have every intention of leaving my worries behind me in Chicago, and my virginity in Ibiza–and David is everything I want. Handsome, charming, and utterly uninterested in anything beyond our brief fling, the whirlwind romance he takes me on is one I plan to enjoy every second of, taking only the memories of it when I go.
But too late, I find out that memories aren’t all I have left of our time together. And when I discover that the man I’m meant to marry is the same one who swept me off my feet an ocean away, that secret becomes something far worse. It could end our unwanted union–or make it impossible to escape.
I thought I’d never see him again. But now he’s my reluctant groom–and I’m going to be his ruined bride.
Ruined is a full-length standalone dark mafia romance!

Story
It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

Story
Three months ago, I almost got hit by a car. The guy behind the wheel was as gorgeous as they come. We got to talking and… well, things got a little carried away, if you know what I mean. But when it was over, we went our separate ways. Except, not quite. The little plus sign on this pregnancy test tells me our story isn't over. But that's a problem for another day. First, I have to go to my sister's engagement party. When I see who she's marrying, my jaw hits the floor.

Story
Gorgeous, cocky, and incredibly dangerous, Viktor Sodorov is the perfect example of how the mafia twists beautiful men into vicious monsters. And I loathe him with every ounce of my body and soul. But hatred isn't cold. It's a burning passion that occupies the deepest corners of your mind, eating away at your will to resist. And that passion has led me right into his capable hands. I shouldn't catch feelings for the man ruining my life, but when he bends me over his knee, it's impossible not to feel something.

I'd have chosen her above all else...if only I could go back. Even if it meant I never got to kiss her, to love her, to be consumed by the woman she is and the love she gave me. She deserves more than this... She deserves more than this dangerous life I lead. She was never supposed to be involved. She was mine to lust after, to have in the darkest hours of the night, to love in secret even.

I was the girl no one looked at twice. Until they saw me. My whole life, no one has had my back. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
There’s only one choice for this innocent bride. Marry me or die. I never wanted a wife. But when the Bratva tries to take what was promised to me, it’s time to claim what’s mine. I thought she would be a burden, a nuisance. A wife that I could lock away forever and forget about after our wedding night. But Sofia Ferretti turns out to be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Sweet, innocent—and virginal. Too good for a ruthless killer like me. I’m not here to seduce her; I’m here to keep her alive. Safe from everyone in Manhattan who wants her dead. The Bratva are coming. ...

All I want is my freedom. But the Bratva leader won't take no for an answer… My first husband is dead and buried. I’m left a widowed mafia princess—a dangerous title to hold, especially when one man already has his eye on me. Viktor Andreyev. His own men call him Ussuri. The Bear. Older than me, with a reputation for violence and a cruel exterior to match, he’s no one I would ever choose for a husband. In fact, I’d hoped that I’d never have to marry again at all.

He says he’s saved me from a fate worse than death. But all I see is a future that was stolen from me. Six months ago, my father promised me to the Bratva heir. My hand in marriage was meant to bridge the violence between our two families–Italian and Russian, mafia and Bratva–and bring peace. Then my father died. Now my godfather is my guardian. He believes the Bratva are ruthless animals, cruel and brutal, and that giving me over to them is signing my death warrant. So on my wedding day, he makes a fateful decision. He takes me for himself. Now I’m wed to the man who vowed to ...

A romance with a mafia boss has no place in my life. But he doesn’t care–not once he’s decided he wants me anyway. Six months after my father’s untimely death, I’m drowning in debt. Even working for one of the most respected celebrity tattoo artists in Los Angeles hasn’t been enough to fix that. I don’t have time to fall in love–or even to think about dating. Even a one-night-stand has become a distant possibility. Then my boss asks me to fill in for him while he’s sick–and I end up in a west LA penthouse, about to tattoo the most well-known mafia boss on this side of ...

It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters. I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us. That was five years ago. Then came the time for him to claim me. For Salvatore Benedetti to own me. I had vowed vengeance. I had learned hate. And yet, nothing could have prepared me for the man who now ruled my life.

With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web.

good story...awful virtual voice
I almost couldn't get past the 3rd Chapter, the AI voice was so bad. Although I got through the entire book, and really enjoyed the story, which is very well written, it took a long time because I had to just stop and just take a break from it.

Sexy story but virtual voice lacked emotion.
I loved the build of the story and the steamy, passionate sex between David and Amalie. The story was captivating but the virtual voice diminished the emotion and seemed exactly like a robot during scenes that required inflection, tone and depth to really capture the essence of the characters and their interactions.

Stop with the AI narrator
the storyline was alright, but I definitely felt the story would have been better if the story teller had more life, the AI made the life of the story very dry.

AI Narrator is very different
The story is pretty good. Having the AI narrator is really weird in a smutty book. The strange intonations describing very intimate details had me laughing out loud several times. I think if I had read this myself, or if it had a human narrator that could sense the tone of the book, I definitely would have enjoyed it more. I will for sure try some other stories from this author.

Narrative was SO. FREAKING. BAD.
The plot was good. The ending, however, was FAR too abrupt.
More than anything, I can honestly say I will NEVER listen to a "virtual narrated" book again. I swear my ears were going to bleed but unfortunately I have this horrific OCD thing where I HAVE to finish a book once started. This narrative made me seriously hate that little issue of mine. Please Audible, for the sake of your listeners, don't use "virtual narration" anymore!
