Dark Mafia romance

Theo

Everything we’ve built is crashing down around me.

I’m consumed by the darkness, my blood boiling with the need for revenge.

My wife is the only light in my life; she’s the very reason I keep on fighting.

They’re coming after me. And worse yet, they’re coming after her.

But let them come....

I’m waiting. We’re waiting.

To send them all back to the hell they crawled out of.

I just hope the city’s prepared.

Because New York’s never seen a war like this one.

Holly

My life changed the minute I crossed paths with him.

For better or worse. Those were the vows I took.

And right now, it’s for worse....

Whoever his enemies are, they’re looking for me.

But I’m not the same wallflower I was when I stepped off that plane at JFK.

I won’t go down easily. No, I’ll stay and fight alongside my husband.

We will reign over his kingdom. United.

As one.

This is book three of a trilogy. Book one, Devilish King, should be listened to first followed by book two, Unnasuming Queen.

it was good

I enjoyed Theo his character was perfectly portrayed by the narrators.
i typically prefer a duet narration.
but narrators were excellent

My only issue was how stupid Hollie was, she gets worse with each book.
she is self centered and doesn't listen which always puts her in danger.
it constant whining from her. Not sure what Theo saw in her.
Her twin was completely disrespectful. Hollies was disrespectful to Theo. I get she was upset but her BS behavior just annoyed me. The lack of immaturity was to much.
she always agree with Theo about everything...it is always about her.

Theo and Neo were awesome that is why I continued with the series.
The dialogue between them was perfect.

Excellent

I loved this trilogy! I would switch between my kindle and my audible just so I could still be immersed in it while cooking cleaning etc you won’t regret reading and listening to this book! The voice actors did great!

Loved the series!

One of my favorite series! I read the books and listened on here. Highly recommend, I hope more of this series comes to audible soon!!

Great finish to a trilogy!

This was such a great end to this trilogy! In the first 2 books we get to see each character develop and grow as an individual and the relationship is kind of background in a way. This 3rd book gives such a great look at how a relationship grows and shifts and changes and how you compromise and learn. How each person discovers the depth of their feelings and the lengths they will go to for their partner.

Holly and Theo are not in the clear in this book and they face each hurdle together with a healthy dose of love and admiration for one another. They work through their own emotions and grow their relationship to be the strong solid foundation they need to survive in the ever changing world they live in.

I loved the writing in this book and the way the author approaches each situation with a healthy dose of realism. While the book is fiction I feel like the relationship aspects are true to life even if the events maybe aren't. Each time the characters are faced with considering the other person, Trust, Love, Understanding. Neither comes across as weakened in their compromises and neither comes across as the bully in their insistence in a situation. Its all very well done!

The editing and grammar are so well done that their is nothing to distract for the flow of the plot or the pace at which the story can be read!

The same narrators return to finish off this trilogy and once again bring Holly and Theo to life in a fun and easy way. The audio book follows the printed version and its an enjoyable listen!

Could have easily been one book

Each book in this trilogy is shorter than the last. This really should have been one book.

I debated about buying the last one, but I had already invested two credits and 10 hours. I had hoped that the last book would redeem the first two. It didn't. It was predictable and lacked depth.

The narrators were so easy to listen to. They did a great job and I will definitely look for them.

I told myself to DNF multiple times

I had hoped that it would be better so I continued, but one this easily could’ve been one book. The immaturity of the characters lead to frustration over and over again there was so much potential here for a good story but completely lost.

Meh

Ummm it’s fine. The audio its self had quite a few glitches with repeating sentences and pauses. The story, well I did finish the series so that says something but I eye rolled cringed quite a bit. I liked the FMC though. She was hilarious
