β₯οΈ Cora Reilly's mafia romance series has always had a special place in my heart, so naturally, I couldn't resist the opportunity to listen to Nevio Falcone and Aurora Scuderi's story. Let me tell you, this story had me on the edge of my seat, gripped by its twists and turns.
β‘οΈ Nevio Falcone, a man born into the Camorra family in Las Vegas. Heβs Unhinged and dangerous it runs in his DNA. If his father, Remo, the Capo, is feared by all, imagine the chaos that Nevio could unleash. But things take a messy turn when Nevio sets his sights on the daughter of his father's enforcer.
β‘οΈ I never expected Nevio to be this savage, his impulses uncontrollable. It was like watching a disaster waiting to happen, and poor Aurora was caught in the crossfire, enduring his madness. The way these two went round and round in circles, causing havoc for their families, was downright unnerving. There were moments when Nevio was difficult to like, a true anti-hero, yet I couldn't tear myself away from his story. I was glued to my earbuds, eagerly anticipating one of his explosive rampages. He kept me on my toes, that's for sure!
β₯οΈ The supporting characters and glimpses of the previous generation added an extra layer of excitement to the story. I adored their dynamics and the witty inside jokes that Cora sprinkled throughout, nodding to her previous series. The banter between the Falcone brothers and the Holy Trinity trio had me completely invested.
β₯οΈ This book was brought to life by the incredible narrators, JF Harding and Angelina Rocca, who were the perfect choice for portraying Nevio and Aurora. Despite the multitude of characters they had to embody, I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Their voices were crystal clear, and their pacing was impeccable. Additionally, Jacob Morgan, Lucy Rivers, and Tor Thom made appearances, lending their talents to narrate a few chapters from the parents' point of view. This cast received nothing but praise from me.
β‘οΈ If you're in search of a dark and intense mafia romance, look no further. This story delves deep into the world of organized crime, showcasing the most unhinged characters.
