Beautiful Carnage

A Dark Enemies to Lovers Romance (Dark Empire, Book 1)

By: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

His family killed my brother, so I stole his bride....

I was there to murder her father, but then I saw her walking down the aisle.

She’s been my secret obsession for too long. The sinfully beautiful Calabresi princess.

Sloan was the perfect payment for their crimes.

Now she’s mine.

Mine to claim.

Mine to possess.

Mine to destroy.

Her fiancé is still hunting for us, but his bride might not be so innocent by the time he tracks her down.

I’m lining her family up like dominoes. And she’ll be the first to fall.

Unless I fall prey to temptation and decide to keep her for myself.

Rocco and Sloan’s story is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers dark romance with a HEA and no cliff-hanger. It contains heat, passion and explosive steamy scenes for listeners who enjoy mature content.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ story *UPDATE*

This was a good story. It had some pretty good twists and surprises.
There were some eyeroll inducing details that were a little tough to overlook…like chopping wood shirtless in a meter of snow. Dumb stuff, I know. But those little details can take me out of the story.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and will listen to others by the authors. I wish the next book was available on Audible. I’d definitely love to listen to it.
The narration was very good. These two did a very good job. I think they’ll just get better and better with time.

Update: I’m writing this 6 hours after I wrote the above.
I can’t stop thinking about this book. I want to revisit this world and these characters. I know I will be relistening sometime in the next week or so.
I didn’t change my original review but I had to add this update. I think I have to upgrade my rating to 4.5 ⭐️ in all categories.

This is hot a lil dark and hilarious

Ok so this has a good story line. Hot spicy scenes and Literally cried laughing a couple times. Rocco is so damn funny. Pop goes Gueto!!

beautiful carnage

this was such a good book the fmc was a strong bad a$$ woman and the mmc is such a softy for the fmc the love they have for each other. the way it ended I was not suspected it was that way.

mobster beauty and the beast

a mobster romance with a decent spice. predator prey, use what you have on hand, some like it rough... not bad. female narrator could use a little more oration experience, but not bad all in all. a solid 4.5

Loved this story

If you know anything about these authors and these narrators then you already know that they are all crazy talented. This book was no different and was definitely great. Like mentioned in the blurb there is NO cliff hanger and the book ends pretty wrapped up with a cute little bow on it. Definitely a great quick listen.
