When He Desires

A Dark Mafia Romance (Fallen God, Book 1)

De: Gabrielle Sands

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Lucy Rivers

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain.

Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.”

I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you.

But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Which is why Rowan needs a fake girlfriend to prove he’s reformed.

Enter, me.

When my house goes up in flames, I agree to Rowan’s offer in exchange for a place to stay.

After my last brutal break up, I’ve sworn off charming, smooth-talking men.

But the way Rowan looks at me—hungry and possessive—makes my pulse race and my skin sizzle with heat.

The longer we pretend to be in love, the more real it feels.

Just when I think I’ve broken my unlucky streak, I discover Rowan’s hiding secrets. Big ones, like his real name.

Will his dark past bring us closer together? Or will it destroy everything we’ve built?~~When He Desires is book 1 of the Fallen God duet. The story continues in When He Takes.

Fun story

Love this duet about Nero and Blake. In fact I have enjoyed all of this author’s books.

A 2 book story that doesn’t disappoint.

I really enjoyed Nero’s story. Even though it is 2 books long it didn’t seem to drag out like most others do. Several twists and shocks that keep you reading. Blake is a fast talker much of the book which was a little distracting. Enjoyed that she wasn’t whiny, and had some sass. This is part of a series so I recommend reading the other books first.

Obsessed with this universe

I absolutely loved this book. I was anxiously awaiting Nero’s story and how he was going to start a whole new life. The storyline was engaging and entertaining. I’m not a huge fan of the female narrator. There’s just something about her voice that I just can’t vibe with. Other than that I really enjoyed this.

Amazing story

I love the plot and how everyone does their own lines instead of each other. I love Nero and Blake and Sam. Can’t wait for next read to see how if everything can be better

5 STARS

Really great story and narration. I was left with my mouth wide open. Diving right into book two. I have to finish!

I know men like this. It is funny to see what happens when life doesn't go the way they are usually do for them.

The unexpected responses to the handsome man create unexpected situations. The author left me trying to decide what I would do.

Super good

Gabrielle Sands does it again, and great narrators. two of my favs.
as usual it is one of the best books Ive listened to recently.

So good

Amazing story line, romance, slow burn into steamy hot spice! It has everything. The narrators do an amazing job delivering emotion! I can’t wait for book 2!

Pretty Good

Enjoyed the continuation of Nero’s story. Aiden Snow was fabulous as always. Lucy Rivers made it almost intolerable at times. She sounds distressed no matter what is happening with her character.
It’s such an excellent storyline and could’ve been outstanding with a different female performer.
I still gave 5 stars for performance- its a duet and Snow was excellent.

Good book

I enjoyed Nero and Blake’s story. Lucy Rivets did her best in this book. She was upbeat and her voice was lighter/ higher pitched than other books. As usual Aiden was great! The story really picks up towards the end but we needed to have the background we get here and the start of their relationship. Needless to say I can’t wait for the next book. I love this author.
