Renata Vitali

A Prequel to Damiano De Luca

By: Parker S. Huntington

Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Desireé Ketchum

From USA Today best-selling author Parker S. Huntington comes a steamy, slow-burn love story full of enemies-to-lovers banter, set in high school.

Damiano De Luca: a curse with no cure.

Before he ruled the De Luca family, before he became the man everyone feared, before he scoured an empire in search of me, he chose me to ruin.

I was innocent. An untainted princess. The heiress to the Vitali mafia throne.

And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I met the wrong boy.

My name is Renata Vitali...and this is not a love story.

Warning: This story ends in a cliffhanger. Renata Vitali is a ~35,000-word prequel novella in the Five Syndicates mafia romance series. It can be heard before Damiano De Luca but does not need to be.

Delicious slow burn!

Renata Vitali is a delicious slow burn! Parker Huntington did a fabulous of laying down Damian and Renata’s story. In this prequel, Damian and Renata are teenagers in this story and it’s seriously high chemistry and it builds my obsession up another layer and I feel seriously excited for their full book… coming up after I upload this review!

These narrators, Zachary Webber and Desireé Ketchum were P E R F E C T!!!! They brought Huntington’s characters to life… they gave Damian and Renata a voice… they brought them to life and I fell for them and loved every single flawless utterance.

Heiress To Vitali Mafia Throne!

Renata Vitali, A Prequel to Damiano De Luca (The Five Syndicates Series) caught my eye with its beautiful cover and intriguing synopsis. Thus novella begins with a intriguing listen and continues till the end. Character's are compelling with complex personalities. I absolutely love the witty banter between Damiano & Renata. A special blend of ingredients forward, prologue, quotes before each chapter & epilogue al interwined to create a poignant listen. Angst, passion, and intrigue swirling through the pages. The writing style draws you in & keeps you captivated until the end. I'm absolutely loving this series and this novella is no exception, as I love it to. Looking forward to listening to Damiano De Luca.


Narators Desiree Ketchum and Zachary Webber duet narration of this novella was impeccable. Their inflection flowed through flawlessly and smoothly. I absolutely love Zachary Webber's baritone voice. Desiree's voice is intoxicating and keeps you wanting more.

Edgy and Exhilarating prequel!

This prequel to Renata and Damiano's intriguing story! They are young but are well versed in the life of the mafia, and know how to play the game. Renata is staying with Damiano and his family and he feels protective of her right from the start. Even tho they are on different levels of the mafia hierarchy, they become undercover friends and unlikley allies. But politics and power are a dangerous game and this story is so captivating that I can't wait to find out where it goes next. Desireé Ketchum and Zachary Webber are amazing as they bring this intriguing story to life. They really build the tension of the story and the hint of attraction between Renata and Damiano adding to Huntington's edgy and exhilarating story.

Amazing narration and story!

Another great book from Parker! I loved both of the narrators in this story as well, Desireé and Zachary have a great voice that’s easy to follow along to and really picture the story in your head. I finished this in no time and I need the next book right away to find out what happens to Knight and Damsel. I loved that Renata was so strong and could face off anyone and everyone if needed but was still able to care for Damian especially when he needed a friend or some saving.

It was destiny

Renata Vitali was unlike anyone he had ever met. Just her presence alone was enough to undo him and make him the more driven to achieve his destiny. She complimented him and her intellect was breathtaking. Damiano would slowly let her in as he attempted to keep the walls that separated them down one brick at a time. Excellent performance by the narrators! Definitely a must read. Parker delivers a story that will pull you into the Syndicate one word at a time and make you desperate to stay.
