Title: His Fatal Love (West Coast Mobsters Book 3)

Author: Leighton Greene

Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Thank you to Leighton Greene for providing me a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.

Castellani assassin, Julian, the psychopathic younger half-brother of the family Don, has been given permission to look into his mother’s murder from when he was a child. Meanwhile, the second son of the Bernardi Family Don, and their enforcer, Leo “The Lion”, has been charged with seducing Julian with the aim of turning him into a tool for the Bernardi’s. As the two men work to outsmart each other while entertaining all of their desires, feelings start to form, but as their families are enemies how can the situation end in anything but heartache?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Michael Ferraiuolo is fantastic at narrating this world that Leighton Greene has created. 

What I liked:  

Julian intrigued me from when we first met him in “Vow of the Vigilante (Morelli Family book 7)”, and his appearances in the previous two books of this series have been a delight.  Needless to say I was impatient to start this audiobook as soon as it was available to me. Learning more about what makes Julian tick has been an emotional journey, and I’m so glad Leo was deserving of him. Their relationship, while bumpy with misunderstandings, was incredibly sweet. The mystery aspect of the book was as twisty as usual, and while I, again, figured out who did it way too early, the who’s and why’s along the way kept me guessing.

What didn’t work for me: 

Holy heck, one of those spice scenes was way outside my comfort level! I appreciate LG’s ability to cater to a wide range of kinks, but sometimes I’m left shuddering (and not in a good way), this was one of them, even MF’s gorgeous tone couldn’t help. 

Final thoughts:

A captivating addition to the West Coast Mobsters series.

Who would enjoy this:

Adults who read darker romances with a mystery element. To avoid spoilers, read the series in order.

Title: His Brutal Heart (West Coast Mobsters Book 2)

Author: Leighton Greene

Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo

Rating: 5/5 stars

Thank you to Leighton Greene for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.

After the shocking conclusion to “His Lethal Desire (West Coast Mobsters Book 1)”, Alessandro ‘Sandro’ Castellani, heir to the Castellani crime family, finds himself needing to solve a murder, while unsure who he can truly trust. When he catches mafia fanatic and owner of the website “Cute Crims”, Teddy MacCallum, spying on him at a crime scene, he takes him prisoner instead of killing him when Teddy promises he can help with Sandro’s murder investigation.

The word “delicious” popped into my head so many times during Michael Ferraiuolo’s narration of this book, with his voicing of Sandro being especially exquisite. The diversity of the other characters' voices was on point too.

Okay, so I did guess the who and why for the main investigation pretty early on, but I did not see the MASSIVE plot twist coming at all! Nor the other curve balls that were thrown at the MCs throughout the story. This was an exciting read, with a brilliant plot and a highly charged chemistry between Sandro and Teddy. I would have happily listened in one sitting if I hadn’t had to “people” halfway through. I am really looking forward to the next book!

Final thoughts: Yes please, and I need more!

Who would enjoy this: Fans of contemporary romances with morally grey characters. I strongly suggest you read “His Lethal Desire” first to avoid spoilers.
