His Remorseful King

Black Hearts

By: A.N. Stauber

Narrated by: Tyler Griffin

Patrick “Paddy” Murphy Secretive, Quiet, Reserved. The mafia taught him just how disastrous secrets and lies were. Despite that, he kept the deepest, dirtiest secrets of them all. His desire for men, or rather one man—me—was only the start of them. If the family or—even worse, a rival family—found out about us, life as Paddy knew it would cease to exist.It was as if the universe knew this and tried to keep us apart.

From Army Deployments and near death experiences to a secret baby, everything that could go wrong did. I didn’t know how much more I could take, until he committed the ultimate crime. One final act of betrayal, and he might as well have ripped my heart from my chest. There’s no going back, and he has to learn to pay the price for his mistakes.

Michael “Griff” Griffin Stubborn, resentful, mine. He had every right to hate me, to never want me again. I betrayed him, broke him, but despite all of the mistakes of my past, Griffin would always have my heart. We went through too much pain and heartache to just give up, and I would stop at nothing to earn his love back—even if it meant putting him before my brother’s orders and refusing to marry a woman in La Famiglia—the mother of my unborn child.

The skeletons in my closet are too much to bear. Will I be able to bury them, or will my dirty laundry be aired?

Friends-To-Lovers Mafia M/M Romance!

This was pretty good; you have to suspend disbelief that the head bosses of a mafia family would have no problems accepting a bisexual son/brother...but for this story it was a good thing. I love that we got to see flashbacks of young Paddy and Griff discovering their love for each other. Tyler Griffin has a low smooth voice so listening to this title was relaxing and his accents were done very well.

4 Starz - I would listen again
