About this listen
His family killed my brother, so I stole his bride....
I was there to murder her father, but then I saw her walking down the aisle.
She’s been my secret obsession for too long. The sinfully beautiful Calabresi princess.
Sloan was the perfect payment for their crimes.
Now she’s mine.
Mine to claim.
Mine to possess.
Mine to destroy.
Her fiancé is still hunting for us, but his bride might not be so innocent by the time he tracks her down.
I’m lining her family up like dominoes. And she’ll be the first to fall.
Unless I fall prey to temptation and decide to keep her for myself.
Rocco and Sloan’s story is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers dark romance with a HEA and no cliff-hanger. It contains heat, passion and explosive steamy scenes for listeners who enjoy mature content.

Story
Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart. I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost. I’d fight for them until my dying breath. It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same. Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for. This is the story of how they destroyed me.

Story
You would think that being forced into a loveless marriage to ensure an alliance would be unheard of in this day and age. And in most cases, you would be correct in that assumption. But not for me. A cartel princess has no vote on who she can or cannot marry—much less love. Any decision in my life was forfeited just by being born into the most powerful Mexican cartel there is.

So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit.

Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases, Lazris. Lana has been assigned to "study" him; to learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. Asset X - or Xerus as he is called - won't give up his secrets easily. He is difficult, elusive, and dare she say, unfathomably alluring.

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

Story
They said write what you know so that's what I did. I wrote dirty, I wrote erotic, I wrote the truth. And then they called me a liar. But it's not me who's lying, it's them. Our story isn't for everyone. It's not even for us. So if you're looking for the fairy tale and the stupid prince on his dumb white horse, move along. You've got a hold of the wrong book. This is not your story, this is not your life, and this is not your opportunity to dip your frightened little toe into the dark pool of water and "try new things" and then pull it out and decide... #NotForMe.

What do you do when the guy you’ve loved since you were 14 is sent to the most dangerous prison in Solaria for saving your life? Okay, so maybe he doesn’t love me back. And maybe getting sent down would seem insane to some, but I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and alpha werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organizations, and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Then I just need to get to work on busting us the hell out of here.

Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh surround me, suffocate me, but I am the vile ruler who controls it all. I long for warmth, yet all that I touch is cold. Then, she stumbles in to my domain, lost and frightened, alone and confused. And I terrify her even more. She calls me the devil, so I show her pleasure, like only the devil can. I am the heat that stirs her flesh, the longing that trembles her bone. She begs her body to refuse, to escape my embrace, but I am her master, the puppeteer of passion. I am the King of Flesh and Bone. Welcome to my court, little one.

I enjoyed a good retelling of beauty and the beast since it's my favorite Disney movie they captures the wolf scene good I liked the male dominant role but still a strong female role.

The Twisted Sisters have won me over ... again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
As far as mafia books go, this is top tier. Probably one of the best if not the best I've read. It had some Romeo & Juliette vibes with the rival mafia families, but is more of a beauty and the beast retelling which is my fav type of retelling. I'm talking this book has the wolf scene almost to a T.
There is a fairly big twist that I actually didn't predict, because I wasn't looking too closely to it, but I'm sure some people will pick up on. I anticipate that twist will play out in book 2.
Definitely going to give that a read as well!

Def recommend
I have been on a binge lately and have been having issues enjoying a lot of these types of books. I have issues with the way the bad boy is portrayed and treats the lead woman in the book. but this story did not disappoint. this book has a great story line likeable characters, well written and well placed steamy scenes.

Wished it was longer
Complex and masterfully written, just wished we'd get more details on the jobs to give the story more depth. Also, you cannot simply write-off the main characters' treatment of one another as distasteful. The nuances are intriguing and the whole time I was left wondering how would the 2 MCs fall in love but alas.. Ennemies to lovers. Well done!

I like a dark dark romance. This was pretty dark. Good love story. I like how they didn’t just jump in bed within the first two chapters. Overall, I recommend.
