‘Til Encryption Do Us Part

The Vikings MC, Book 4

By: Cathleen Cole, Frank Jensen

Narrated by: Allyson Voller, Tyler Darby

Until death do they part. They can only hope it won’t come to that....

Rat’s MC took down one cartel leader. Now, his five brothers are coming for them. They need alliances fast. Teaming with the Italians and the Bratva could solve the problem. But those guys? They don’t exactly get along.

Sal Giuliani’s—the Italian Don—plan to end the conflict was marriage. Namely, Rat’s—to his daughter. Rat will do whatever it takes for his club, but he won’t make the mistake of trusting his bride. Or so he keeps telling himself....

One minute, Sal Giuliani’s daughter was happily living her life, and the next, her father was brokering an arranged marriage for her with some biker. These kinds of things weren’t unusual in a mafia family. But that didn’t mean she had to like it—or her new fiancé. Except she does, which complicates everything.

Soon, it’s clear that there’s more to this mafia princess than meets the eye, and her secrets could get them both killed. If their enemies don’t get to them first, that is. Overcoming it all won’t be easy.

But then again, nothing worth having ever is....

Be forewarned: These books contain violence and descriptions of illicit activities. If you enjoy sexy antiheroes, fast-paced and action-packed storylines, and steamy love scenes, these are the books for you! There are guaranteed happily ever afters for the characters, but the underlying storyline does continue from book to book. It is recommended you start with book one, Heart of Steel.

I absolutely LOVE Ari and Rat! They bring out the very best in each other. It's sweet and loving despite the circumstances that put them together.

Arianna "Ari" Giuliani and Viktor "Rat" Volkov may have been forced into marriage, but they share common interests and a genuine connection. I appreciate how each is leery and holds back, but when the cards are down, I like that they have each others backs.

Learning about the MC world through her eyes is fun. She's been sheltered for much of her life and I love how Rat is determined to rectify many of the limitations she previously experienced.

As for Rat's past, I'm glad we learn about it in small pieces. It's completely heartbreaking to hear some of the stories. He may have been spared some of the more devastating experiences, but even witnessing a fraction of it is awful.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators, Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby, are both really good. They have great pacing and are easy to listen to. The accents don't always match up with the characters, but I still like them.

Another great book in the series!

This is the first series I've read/listened to by Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen. What a great writing team! These books just keep getting better and better. I do believe this is my favorite so far. The authors write well with great storylines and easy to like characters. I keep becoming more invested in their lives. They make me laugh as well as hold my breath in anticipation. I got warm feelings as well as cold chills. I couldn't wait for Rat's story and was not disappointed! My heart just went out to him. Ari was wonderful. I fell for the couple from the start. Both were living opposite lives but yet so very similar. The story is fast, with some steam, and the couple had a HEA ending. We were left hanging once again, wanting to know what happens next! The audiobook can't come soon enough!

Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby are excellent narrators. I am thrilled that they are narrating for the whole series! They continue to bring these audiobooks to life with emotional performances that have the audiobook rolling like a movie in my head. Great voices. Perfection.

Loved This Audiobook!

Rat, found on the streets at 12, taken in by the Vikings MC, discovers his his identity. He has found his way into the readers heart throughout the series and his story is my favorite!
Twists and turns, unbelievable connections and a marriage to Arie (a mafia daughter) provides a beautiful romance
So enjoy revisiting the reoccurring charters, male and female, and feeling of family
Fantastic MC series with great narration
Hope this series keeps going

Things you do for "family"!

I had a hard time waiting for the audio to come out and not peaking at the book. I knew Rat was going to be an interesting and complex character. This arranged marriage was quite entraining. I don't want to spoil which daughter he chooses but she is prefect for him. She is so much more than she appears. I loved how these two grew together and fell in love. There is lots of action and moving parts that will keep you engaged. I was so happy I waited to listen to this one as the narrators made it even more engaging.

WOW!

Hot hot hot! What a book Street rat to hero not a zero! This book was fantastic freaking task. The sex is hot 🔥.
However you can't judge the book by its cover going by this cover! It's a must read. The guy looks like a 10 yr. old.

Loved it

Out of all the series, I like this the most. I love how they meet and their connections.
Allyson and Tyler did an amazing job at narrating

Excellent Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Heartfelt

I am loving the “Vikings MC”, it has quickly become one of my favorite motorcycle club series and this fourth book is Rat’s story. Rat, the IT guru of the club, became one of my favorite club members, his backstory is unique and he came to the club unconventionally. He just found out about his past and is still accepting it. In the previous book, the club faced a decision to team up with other crime families, the Italians and the Bratva. This was to with their ongoing fight with the Mexican cartel. A deal was struck and Rat took one for the team and volunteered to marry one of Sal Giuliani’s daughters. Luckily it was his choice and not Sal’s. Everyone expected him to choose his older daughter, but he had more in common with Ari and chose her instead. Ari is also into computers and sometimes her father makes her use her computer skills to help with some jobs. She is also protective of her younger sisters and wants to get them out of that life and away from their father. Ari was not happy about this arranged marriage, but it was her only option at the moment. Living with Rat threw her into a whole new world, a biker world, and that was not a bad thing. For the first time she saw what it was like to be part of a family, one where they cared about one another and looked out for each other, sure she had her sisters and brother, but her home was not a loving one thanks to her father. I loved how everything played out in this book, the writing and plotting is fantastic, the story captivated my attention the entire time and tugged on my heartstrings too. The story has a perfect balance of drama, angst, action, some thrilling & suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn romance. Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby’s outstanding performance continues as they bring these characters to life. Their character voices have been consistent throughout the series and the audio quality is top-notch. In addition to setting a perfect tone for the story, these narrators capture all the emotions of their characters and evoke them in you. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen. 

arranged marriage

I was waiting for Rat's story and this didn't disappoint.
Rat is the IT specialist for the club. To join forces with another crime family, he chose to marry one of Sal Guilani's daughters.
Both had an interest in computers. He didn't know the extent of her computer skills.
Ari was not familiar to the biker lifestyle, it took some time for her to get used to the comradery and loyalty they had for each other.
Action packed, drama, suspenseful and steamy romance. I love how the romance and trust was built between Ari and Rat, and the club.
 Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby narration captures the personalities and emotions throughout this story. Very well done

This is my favorite of the series so far

This is my favorite of the series so far. I didn't know just how bad I needed Rat's story and for him to find his other half to help him heal. And there is so much going on, so many secrets revealed and interesting new characters introduced whose stories I also need one day, along with some old friends lending a hand. All this kept me engaged in the story and impatient to find out what was next. I knew Rat had an heartbreaking history and it was so good to see him get closure, even as it hurt. An arranged marriage for business alliances may have been the intention, but an amazing love resulted as two perfect for each other people found forever...and she is one fierce, tough woman who fits right in with the Vikings. Narration brought the story from the pages. I'm so ready to listen to the next!
