About this listen
Payton
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.
Nero
The first time I took a man's life, I knew there'd be no going back, no normal existence in the cards for me. Instead of walking away, I climbed a mountain of bodies and created my own destiny by forming The Alliance. And I was fine with that, content enough to carry on.
Until I stepped through those open doors, and into her life.
I should've walked away. Should've gone right back out the door I came through. But I didn't. And now her life is in danger. That's the thing about being a bad man. I'll happily paint the streets red to protect what's mine.
And Payton is mine. Whether she knows it or not.

I hate Dante Moretti. He is cold, calculating, and vicious. It’s no secret that he wiped out his former fiancée and her entire family on the eve of their wedding. He’s the kind of evil that makes even devils cry. But that’s not why I hate him.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Story
Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea. Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.

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.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

Kickstart your SJ Tilly Obsession with Nero
This was my first SJ Tilly book and I could not be more thrilled. We have very morally grey ex-mafia MMC who is obsessive, possessive, and will do anything to keep get and keep his girl with him... even if she doesn't know it. Nero is so funny and the writing style is perfection. I can't wait to keep going with this mafia dark romance series.

not my favorite
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 - I bought this because I really enjoyed other books by this author and had high hopes.
It was a little disappointing but likely it's a me thing. I wasn't a fan of either MC but I am still looking forward to King's book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 - Narration was not bad but also not great. Both narrators were new to me and they did not grow on me as most new voices do.

found my new favorite narrators
it's always easier for be to do audiobooks if I like the voices and this one was great! both narrators did a great job at portraying these 2 very different and opposite characters. he's rough and possessive, she's soft and sweet. the contrast in the voices was perfect.
on the the story.
He's a very bad man, looking for an escape from the cops so when he sees her balcony door wide open he takes that opportunity.
She's sweet and broken and desperately seeking protection and love ( both of which she never had growing up)
Then comes the obsession...
I also loved the plus size representation!
This man is all kinds of red flags, everything i would never tolerate in real life but for some reason I'm swooning like Peyton is.

🥵🥵oh my days, this hit the spot
Nero is hot. My oh my, was this man's mouth filthy and sweet all at the same time. This is exactly why I listen to audiobooks lol. I know there are mixed reviews here, and I think it's because there wasn't a significant conflict between Nero and Payton. She accepted his lifestyle, and he proved he would stop at nothing to have and protect her. For me, it was exactly what I needed.

Funny meet cute…just a bit creepy
I love how unhinged Nero is for his women.
I love that there’s no third act breakup.
Not as much of a fan of Peyton being a bit of a doormat.
I love SJ Tilly’s book. I’ve read them all. This one stands out to me. Not a fav, but definitely memorable

Delightfully amusing
A lot of serious subject matter. But their interactions, especially later on, made me smile SO MANY times. This novel has a good balance of dark themes and light conversations, with characters that are super easy to feel for. (Easy to hate the bad guys and easy to love the good guys.)

✨️💚✨️Audio Book Review✨️💚✨️
Book: Nero
Author: SJ Tilly
Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Okay, so I didn't know how I felt going into this one as I heard so many good things about this series, but how the first book wasn't as good as the rest .....
Well I absolutely loved this one, so that just means that this whole series will be a five star read for me.
I was hooked right from the beginning, pulled into this wild ride, with this wild man. I loved the huge difference between both main characters, personality wise. They were definitely the definition of opposites attract.
I also love me a morally grey possessive MMC in my dark romances, so this was right up my alley.
You get:
• Mafia Romance
• Virgin FMC
• Breaking & Entering
• Dom/Sub
• Protector
• Spicy
• Kidnapping
I highly recommend this book and to continue with the alliance series! Available through KU, ebook, paperback, hardcover & audiobook!
