Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Blood will spill faster than bird seed when a Rossi marries a Moretti.

I’ve spent a lifetime hiding in plain sight. A few tattoos, some hair dye, and it’s like I’m a brand new person. Invisible to my family, and our enemies.

Until now.

However Christian Moretti found me, it isn’t the triumph he thinks it is. Even if my body aches for his punishing touch, even if I crave the pleasure I find only in his bed, I will not bend. I will not submit.

I will not be conquered.

Let Christian think he’s preventing a war. In the end, I will give him something far more terrifying.

A queen.

Breaking Donatella

Breaking Donatella is a part of the Black Rose Collection. Christian is determined to make Ella his wife. By marrying Ella he will out a stop to the feud between the two families. He also will gain her inheritance. Ella is a wild spirit. She will not be easy to tame. This book is a bit dark and taboo. It may have triggers for some. Tara and Jay did a fantastic job narrating using the same Italian accent through the entire book. Can't wait for more from this collection.

Great audiobook

This was the first book I've read/listened to by Raisa Greenwood. It had a great storyline with good characters. I was really surprised with the direction the author took. I loved how strong Donatella/Ella was as a woman, not just physically, but mentally as well as emotionally. Cristian was frustrating and had to grow on me. By the end, he redeemed himself. I was surprised to find this was book four in a series. It was a great standalone.

Tara Langella and Jay Adler did a great job narrating. Their performances were well done.

A Captivating & Twisted Ride! Terrific Narration🎧

Kudos to Raisa Greywood for delivering such a unique and original dark mafia romance novel. This is my first book written by Ms. Greywood, I enjoyed her writing style and the storylines and characters she created. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and held for the entire book, it is the type of book you can not put down because you need to know what is going to happen next. Donatella Rossi was born in to the mafia world but her mother escaped with her after faking their death. Their life was not an easy one but it was better than being stuck in a life of no choices. They changed their names, after her mothers death Donatella went on to live a very public life, basically hiding in plain site. Cristian Moretti has located the mafia princess and plans on using her to merge his family with the Rossi family to create one powerful crime family. He will take her, make her his wife to produce a heir whether she likes it or not. She turns out to be a handful, very strong willed, but the more she fights him the more he wants to break her spirit. She knows what battles to fight and agrees to go along with his plan on her own terms, and they come to an understanding. She is smart and cunning, Cristian has met his match in her and then some. Everything is going on plan, there is a target on both their heads but the two together are a force to be reckoned with. When opportunity arises Donatella sets her own plan in to action, pulling the rug out from under not only Cristian but others in the mob world as well. This book is full of surprising twists and turns, the story is fast moving and cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and hot romance. Raisa Greywood, thank you for this great story & wildly entertaining ride. I am looking forward to checking out more of your work, hope to see more of it come to audio soon.

🎧📚🎧 And for the terrific narration, Jay Adler and Tara Langella are talented narrators and voice artists. They did an awesome job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions and personality. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, Tara Langella played the perfect Mia, badassery and all. Jay Adler’s Cristian was the perfect alpha-hole, a dominant mob boss, accent included. Both were great covering the secondary characters as well. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

So dark!

This was a deliciously dark romance.

The characters were real, relatable and well fleshed out.


The storyline was engaging and intense.

Definitely recommend this one.

Not What I Expected

I was not sure that I was going to be interested in this book when I first started reading this. There were so many things that really made me step out of my comfort zone. It made me uncomfortable. Especially the predictions I had about the book. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that all of my predictions were wrong. I enjoyed how things unfolded very much. It made the ending that much sweeter. I am glad this is not part of a series though.

Forceful

This book has it all and took me through a wide range of emotions. The heroine gives as good as she gets and remains strong and at the ready for the next challenge. Unpredictable and intriguing. A surprise soft ending. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrators did a great job bringing it to life.

Wow! I loved it!

Wow! This was my first Raisa Greywood's book, and definitely won't be my last! I just found a new favorite author! Donatella and Cristian's Dark Mafia Romance is original, intricate, enthralling, and captivating, filled with danger, action, and unpredictable twists and turns. Donatella is a wonderful character, smart, sassy, capable, and strong. Cristian is a handsome character, dark, enigmatic, alpha, dominant, and protective. I like their banter, and their strong and sizzling chemistry. They are opposites attract, and they are perfect together. Jay Alder and Tara Langella did a wonderful job with the narration. This is a great team author/narrator. The audio quality is great! I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it. Looking forward to listen to more books written by this author and read by these narrators. #AudiobookObsession #PinkFlamingoProductions

One of the best I’ve listened to this year!

Written with a ton of dark humor, action, intrigue, mystery, and sass, Breaking Donatella is dark romance at it’s delicious, decadent best! What starts out as a forced marriage designed to prevent a war becomes something else entirely as these two find their way to forever. I loved everything about Donatella, and over the course of the book I grew to love Cristian. The character development of both characters was fabulous! The plot had some surprises that I’ll not go into for fear of playing spoiler, but I just loved how Donatella’s and Cristian’s characters grew, changed and adapted! I also loved the brilliant dark humor the author infused into the dialogue and the plot! I laughed out loud more times than I could count, and as thrilled as I was by the way the story ended, I was truly saddened that it was over! The narration the infused these characters with life was truly amazing and really made this a beautiful experience! I really loved this one and will be looking for more books by Raisa Greywood, and more narrations by Tara Langella and Jay Alder. Five rock solid stars!!!

Love it!

This was an entertaining listen. I enjoyed listening to this story being told, I think the narrators did a great job on this story. I love how Christian finds Donatella determined to marry her to merge the two families and also to teach her to submit to her. But Donatella gives Christian a run for his money with how strong, independent and a bit of a bada$$ she turns out to be. I love the chemistry between these two and the twists in this story.

Hot

This book is so good! Their chemistry is off the chart. I love her strong character and his alpha dominance! Tara Langella and Jay Alder did an awesome job at narrating
