Ok I have now found a new favourite author, I love her writing style, has action, spice, love romance and humour, plus so far amazing narrators.
I understand there is a series reading order and I have listened to them out of order, but I am ok with that. My library only has a few of hers.
I have also decided that I quite like Mafia style books now.
Out of this series I just loved the 3rd book Savage Hearts. I just loved the characters and the humour and one liners knocked it out of the park.
I am definitely going to listen to more of her books when I can. I really hope my lib gets more

The audiobook is Tara Langella, Erin Quinn, Brooke Daniels, Michelle Sparks and Troy Duran (and his irish accent 🫠)

The last couple in the series is Rey, the Famous italian black widow and Spider/Quinn (the second in command of Declan - book 2 of the series.
I am a real sucker for a badass FMC with a venomous tongue and creative death threats.

The only thing that bothers me is a spoiler so…

I understand that 2 mains characters over 30 (33 and 38 to be precise) wants children but talking about it repetitively for few chapters, was annoying. Since there is no pregnancy until the very end in the epilogue.

Tropes

Mafia
Survivor (Domestic abuse)

Arranged Marriage

Slow burn

Enemies with benefits 🥵
Banter (and the mother is hilarious)
That. Man. Mouth.
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

Overall:

“All hail the Queen!”

Yep, my ovaries have never hurt so good before…

Oh wow, this series has shocked my ovaries into overdrive after reading!

Oh these mafia bosses fall hard and fast once they find a strong woman who makes most men balls shrivel from one glance.

GAH! I loved every moment. Spider and Reyna take the reins in this hot steamy suspenseful read you shouldn’t miss!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
