King (noun):
1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy
2) The most powerful man in a group
3) Liam Black
He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.
But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero.
And - as I’d soon find out - having a king save your life comes with a price.
Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I’ll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You.

A dark Mafia romance - great audio!
Wow!!! I picked up this story because I'm eager to read Killian's story which is book 2 (loved him in the dangerous series). So I am very excited to have loved Liam so much. I did listen to this on audio and I have to admit the Irish brogue and the narration made this the best experience. I love when a book is narrated in this way, where all male voices are done by the male and the same for females.
Liam has been coming to the diner where Truvy works for a year. They have chemistry, but Liam has secrets and he doesn't want to put Truvy in harm's way. But sometimes desire, lust and love are stronger than all of the best intentions!!!

More please!
Liam Black is everything. (that is all)
The narrators did an outstanding job. I mean who can turn down a good Irishman.
I really liked this story. Not the typical mobster shoot for love romance. Ok fine there's stalking and a coercion/ kidnapping living situation thing but it's so sweet!!!
I did like that how both were strong willed. it added a nice flair. I found this book has a lovely balance of character development and delivery scenes. Not erotic, more slow burn that ignites.
I'm excited for book 2!

Sexy; Gritty; Intriguing !
Sexy gritty romance topped with an intriguing air of mystery. My favourite type of book. There are some ethical issues but this is a fictional book set in a darker world. The main characters are well developed and enticing. Supporting characters are amusing and developed in clever ways. There is the added bonus of humour thrown in the mix. Narrator did a superb job.

The Irish Mob is here and we are in for a ride
Troy Duran can be the head of my Irish Mob whenever he wants. He and narrator Marnye Young bring Tru and Liam to life and OMG there is a lot of life here! J.T. Geissinger is one of my go to mafia writers and the duet narrated book was pure enjoyment for me.

Amazing narration!
I love duet narration (when each narrator performs their own role) and Troy Duran has quickly become one of my favourite narrators. The story was well written and wonderfully read/performed by all involved.

My only regret is that it wasn’t longer. The story had a slow burn. Characters were voiced so nicely and conveyed emotion for a breathtaking performance. The author is a genius. This book is funny, some angst, dirty, clever, and more. You’ll enjoy!!
