Savage Beginnings

A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

By: J. L. Beck, C. Hallman

Narrated by: Alastair Haynesbridge, Samantha Summers

It started with a single look...my obsession, my desire, and need to possess the sweet, and incredibly naive, Elena Romero. Dark raven hair and piercing green eyes. She would make a beautiful bride.

Ten million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold.

The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most. The man who took everything from me: her father.

Drew me in automatically

I only just started listening yesterday and I’m done already. Each chapter had something that left me asking what’s going to happen next and now I find myself at the end.

your normal Mafia man takes Mafia mans daughter.

I couldnt get into this book at first, even took a break from it. Once I came back the book really did pick up and I enjoyed it. It is your normal Mafia man takes Mafia mans daughter.

Woah!!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat!!! It was much more then I expected! Love the narrations 🖤

Okay overall but I rolled my eyes a lot

Elena is so in denial throughout most of the book about who the people really are around her. She doesn't think first, she just acts. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at certain parts. The story was okay overall I just wish she was a stronger woman sooner. Julian should have been honest with Elena and some of the nonsense could have been avoided. Julian got on my nerves when it came to Marie. Just because someone is the help doesn't mean you treat them like trash. It ended with a HEA, but I'm not sure I'll read book 2 or 3.

Wow!!

Julian was way too possessive with his wife. Kinda hard to see the sweet side of him. That bothered me. Well at least he didn’t abuse her. He talked mean to her when he was mad. Not sure I could love a man like that. Some of the story was drawn out too much. It was just ok for me.

Excellent

I never think twice about using a credit on these two authors I’ve never been disappointed and I wasn’t with this book either I cannot wait for the second one

Great Story & Narration!

It was a fun mafia romance story! Lots of sexy times and drama. Narration was excellent!!! Very spicy and action filled!

I really wanted to like this book more

I have about 5 hours left for this book... female lead is hard to relate to in a lot of ways. maybe it's the narration of the story or maybe the flow of the story all together. it's hard to see how the intimacy/ trust is going to build between them. I'm not sure what's missing, maybe it's simply NMK (not my kink)

Not much of a fan

The story line was ok but it also was the same thing over and over again.

Choices

Sold for money to settle a debt , it was very difficult to believe in a safe outcome and a happy life in the long run
