Narration – Jeff Hays – Kick Ass!
Seriously! I’ve never heard a man do such convincing females before in my life. This is a very dramatic presentation, not just someone narrating a story. The characters are filled with emotion, passion, lust, anger, you name it, it’s there.
Really great job!
The story? This is interesting…
I haven’t read book one yet.
I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review but then noticed it was book 2 in the series. I went looking for the audio version of book 1, but it hasn’t been produced yet. This one was up next, so I decided to dive in anyway, and it was ok. I know I don’t know the entire back story, but I still didn’t feel totally lost. It didn’t take long to figure out Mel and Liam and to fall in love with both of them.
SO! This is a mafia story. There is some crazy violence here, the kind you would expect from mafia types. The fun/crazy part is that Melody is a bit of a crazy psycho. She’s one bad ass chick and I loved her. The relationship between her and Liam is down right crazy, but they are in love (even though it grates on Mel to admit it) With all the violence, swearing and shooting going on between the two of them, they are still in love and their banter is actually pretty funny. I especially enjoyed the development of their relationship through this story. How they grew closer and more in love and we got to see the softer more loving side of each of them.
The book is told from multiple POV’s primarily with Liam and Melody, but there are a number of interesting secondary characters that also share their POV, but it’s easy to follow because each chapter is headed with the character that we’ll be hearing from.
Neil (Liam’s brother) and his wife Olivia and Liam’s cousin Declan and wife Coraline take their turn filling us in on what’s going on with their branch of the family along with some others to give us the full picture of this family’s reach.
It’s full of action, love, hate, corruption, loyalty, betrayal, some mystery, some great sex, a lot of snark and really great characters.
Loved it! Can’t wait for the rest of the series to be produced! (hopefully with the same narrator)
