Man of Honor
The Fausti Family, Book 1
By: Bella Di Corte
Narrated by: Verla Bond, Antonio Amato
What a start to this 8 book series! I am hooked already! Mafia, best friend's sister, destiny, romance, Bella DiCorte gives it all to us in this first book. Brando Fausti is Elliott's best friend. He always knew his sister Scarlett, but never paid much attention to her. Until a night when she had left her ballet rehearsal. That snowy night would change both their lives forever. But it never veered Brando's attention away from the prima ballerina. This story is packed with a push pull between Brando and Scarlett as well as us getting to know a little background of both families. It's chock full of tragedy, angst, slow burn romance and a few twists and turns we just don't see coming. Ending with our couple apart, but with Brando always watching, we are set up for our next installment. I cannot wait to hear what will happen next with these two!
Verla Bond and Antonio Amato are our storytellers, and these two are perfectly cast for these characters. Bond gives us Scarlett, the naïve teen and lets us grow several years with her. We can hear her changes as she matures, bringing out her frustrations and emotions. Brando has a lot to him, and Amato pulls out not only the stoic, strong man, but the mushy emotional man too. He keeps Brando at arm's length with his voice, and I can't wait to hear Scarlett melt his heart. These two complement each other and made the listen very enjoyable.
