Nikolai

A Mafia Prince Romance (Russian Mob Chronicles, Book 1)

By: Shandi Boyes

Narrated by: Avie Paige, Matt Haynes

When opposing sides of the law collide, it isn't just the rules being broken!

Justine Walsh dreamed about being an architect when she was a child, but when her brother was served a life sentence for murder, her plans altered. Now she's a first-year intern at the best defense firm in the country. She's seeking help from the right side of the law, so the last place she expects to find it is in a man who's far from lawful.

Nikolai Popov was raised in a criminal entity that's as bigoted as it is violent. He's lived a hard and fast life which often sees him facing a line-up, yet he's not spent one night behind bars.

After a mix-up with Nikolai's home arrest documentation, Justine is thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Russian mafia. Will she survive a second tightrope walk with a mafia prince, or is this one adventure no amount of smarts will see her win?

Good story

Loved the story line, author can be repetitive and could find other ways to say the same thing instead of using the exact same verbiage but the storyline is interesting. Did get annoyed with the narrator. She seemed to be inconsistent with character voice and narration voice and honestly her voice for the main character made her sound like an annoying kid which didn’t do well with this kind of story.

Narration sucks

Story is decent, a little repetitive at times but not enough to irk me too bad. But jeez louise the female narrator’s voice grates on my last nerve.

Enjoyed the story BUT…

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. I cannot stand the narrator’s voice. With her voice-the story just didn’t seem to flow. It was monotonous sounding. No highs no lows-flat..

Hot, Hot, Hot…This book is full of surprises and is a good read/ listen but…I hate that it ends in a cliffhanger and no follow up! WTH Shandi you can’t leave your listeners like this…We need the next book asap! Is there a book 2 in the near future? I don’t know since there’s no mention of book two, ugh. Is it worth a credit? Oh hell YES❣️🫦

The story was interesting, but

I felt a bit cheated. There are two narrators listed, so I thought this would be dual POV. The male narrator had about 3 minutes at the very end. The female narrator is not my favorite. Her accents were decent, but emotion and tone? Not so much. Also, watch out for the cliff …
