Resumen del Editor

It started with a simple offer...and it ended with me on my knees.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back.

Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life.

It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius. The man is a menace mantled with power, and it doesn't take us long to go at each other's throats.

But when he starts demanding more of me, I realize I'm just a lost stray in his world, and my odds of surviving are slim to none.

Alexius and his brothers control the moves of every pawn in this game.

And that's me. I'm the pawn.

The Dark Sovereign is a dark mafia romance intended for mature listeners.

Fun listen!

Fun and easy listen, good story, steamy scenes. Ends on a cliffhanger. Good narration. Going for the second book now!

Disturbing 😳 in good dark ‘mafia’ way😅

Finished this in one day - some serious deviant spice! I don’t think I’ve listened to this genre with the “forensic” twist- Looking forward to the next one in the series

Hot AF

Some of the best ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 scenes I have listened to and I have over 500 titles in my library. The authors descriptive writing style sucks you in and just heightens the enjoyment of this book. If you are into rougher, explosive, taboo scenes this is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

WOW!

If you can get passed the foul language, this was a pretty good book. The male narrator sounded pissed off the whole time. Also, I’m not really into the idea of “sharing one’s spouse” for any reason, so that was a total turn off for me. It ended with cliffhanger and many unresolved situations, so just a heads up. Not sure if I’m headed to the book 2.

Wasn’t what I was expecting!

I liked the story and the narration and great. I wish it would give more detail when it switches scenes! Need more interaction with the main characters, not just in the bedroom. MC, she is strong and doesn’t put up with Alexis shit which is good, but I would like to see her come to be a powerful wife also. Where guys are scared of her too! I love the mystery that’s in it. Over All 4 out of 5.

Great start to the series

This was the perfect mix of darkness and obsession for me. I loved the mafia aspect, as well as the arranged/forced marriage. There wasn't necessarily love on page yet, but you could certainly see it coming for the next book. I wasn't aware this was a trilogy, but for once, I'm excited to read more about these 2, and I'm not daunted by the thought of reading 3 books about the same couple.

I listened to the audiobook, and both narrators did an excellent job keeping me entertained.

Cliffhanger

Nothing worse than ending a book with a cliffhanger when the next book, if there is a next book. Is not available. The storyline is interesting, and all over the place. The narrators did a good job with characters.

Rough Alpha takes what he wants😏🫦

Good String violent alpha male. Female character had a good balance of brave but intimidated. Not a noodle spine shrinking violet but also non of that ridiculous “I am woman hear me roar” over the top pig headed stupidity, that is unfortunately, not uncommon in romances. Probably not the most realistic plot but it all meshed and made sense. I found myself thinking; While unlikely, ok it could happen. Make character was a complete dick and scary too. Not joking around either. In the beginning he really could have shot her in the face and not cared at all. I didn’t find all their arguments super stupid and forced either(another common romance thing). The sexual tension was pretty awesome and the sex was def hot. There was an aspect of sharing (women)between the brothers that caught me off guard but it was ok. To my relief the author did a very good job handling that. I thought the falling in love was maybe just a bit rushed but it fit the length of the book so that’s pretty minor. Overall def worth the credit if your looking for a good rough alpha who takes what he wants and doesn’t apologize *shivershiver*. While it’s def not the best of its kind, this will book has easily made it into my re-listen list🥰👍🏻

Intense

The narrators were great and made this an enjoyable listen. Warning, there is a cliffhanger!

Great Story

I enjoyed this story. I'm anxious to read the next series.
The narration was excellent and suspenful.
