The Five Families, Books 4-6

By: Jill Ramsower

Narrated by: Mackenzie Cartwright, Gomez Pugh, Troy Duran, Natlie Eaton, Ava Erickson, Jacob Morgan, Gregory Salinas, and Melanie Mendez

Now in a convenient bundle, here are the second three novels in Jill Ramsower’s captivating Five Families Series. Three sisters. Three incomparable men. Three full-length novels about love in a dangerous mafia world of lies, schemes, and betrayal.

Impossible Odds

I stole something from a total stranger. It was admittedly brazen, but he had it coming. And what were the chances I’d ever see him again? When I catch those stormy eyes glaring at me across a crowded club, I realize how wrong I’d been. There’s a promise of retribution in his gaze, but I’m a mafia princess, and I don’t scare easily.

Absolute Silence

Camilla thought she’d found a place to explore her darkest fantasies—a private club where her secrets were safe—until Filip De Luca threatened to snatch it all away. He was inescapably alluring, but when you make a deal with the devil, there’s always a catch…

Perfect Enemies

Valentina is the youngest of the Genovese girls, but she has learned strength and cunning from her family. When a handsome new face at school threatens to blacken her senior year, she vows to make him pay. Kane Easton may think he’s tough, but he’s never gone up against a Genovese…

Warning: These are mafia romances intended for mature audiences with some elements that may be inappropriate for sensitive listeners. If you like a sharp edge to your romance and deliciously dangerous leading men, get ready to lose yourself!

Critic reviews

“I'm so sad this world has come to a close. I want more!!!” -Boys in Books are Better

Great story

Love how the story continued from 1-3. Love the narrators and characters. Keep it coming!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Enjoyed for the most part

I listened to books 1-3 first, on last book of 4-6. I enjoyed most of the 6 books. However, there were times it was boring and predictable. I mostly enjoy books with characters in late twenties and 30’s. Someone who knows something about life. I’m not into teenage 17-21 year old characters
At that young age they haven’t experienced enough of life for storyline. Why does it seem like it’s always the men characters who do the chasing after the female character? That’s not always the case. The female always goes bats..t crazy if the guy tells her one lie and leaves him. The sex is Always the best either of them
Had ever had with the women having 3 to 5 or more climax’s per session . Only in our dreams does that happen. I wish books were written a little more realistic. It’s hard to say while I enjoyed most of the books it would be difficult to totally recommend
Don’t let women read the male parts !!

fmc narrators

The fmc narrators for books 4 and 5 sound more mature than the characters they portray. It's unsettling and annoying. Also books 4 and 5 have isolating plots for the fmcs. If I'd known this going in, I probably would have skipped the audible of this box set and made time to skim the books on Kindle Unlimited before relistening to the Byrne Brothers series.
****
I enjoyed the plot of book 4 more than 5, but it wasn't what I expected for fun-loving Giada. Books 1-3 set unrealistically high expectations, I guess.
****
In book 5, Filip is far more serious than he was portrayed in prior books. There aren't many references to the charming flirt we saw before. And he and Camilla almost completely avoid any real communication until at least halfway through the story. Even though they're adults, they act like teenagers throwing tantrums and storming off instead of just stopping to talk throughout the first half of the book.
****
I haven't even gotten to book 6 yet, but for these reasons, I haven't enjoyed the spice so far, and I'm listening to this set on 2x just to get through it.
****
Note these opinions do not apply to books 1-3. I thoroughly enjoyed those, which is why I made the mistake of purchasing this set without checking the plots and who was narrating first.

Wow!

Great series! I couldn’t sleep until I finished all the books! I hope there will be more books later with this family!

Love this story and characters

So colorful and and beautiful It kept me captured until the very end. I highly recommend it.

good listen

books 1-5 are all 4 stars books 6 is 3 overall the narrator did great and where great way to get me through my mafia mood

Very nice

Too bad it’s over I would definitely a spin off sequel to see what happens with Connor Irish adopted son ; overall this book had my devoted attention. Will definitely recommend it to everyone

Awesome Read

I love the the rest of the stories and you all have to read all six books.

Excellent!

The narration by all was fantastic. The stories are great….maybe a bit predictable but that’s what HEA is all about. I was surprised and happy that the last story is two in one. J Ramsower writes some great stories filled with angst, family and love. Enjoy.
