Filthy Lies

Akopov Bratva, Book 2

By: Nicole Fox

Narrated by: Laura Horowitz, Walker Williams

The second book in Nicole Fox’s bestselling Akopov Bratva duology, where a steamy office romance unfolds between Rowan St. Clair and her dangerously seductive boss, billionaire bad boy CEO Vincent Akopov, continues as their enemies target their unborn child, forcing them to do whatever it takes to protect their unconventional family.

Rowan married her boss.

She got pregnant by her boss.

Things had gotten complicated.

Rowan and Vince had always done things slightly...unconventionally.

Most meet-cutes didn’t involve walking in on your boss while he was getting frisky. Then getting pregnant by said boss...when he was supposed to be marrying someone else. It turned out that was just the warm-up. Because marriage to the mob boss had changed everything.

The Vince she had fallen for had been all dominant commands and filthy promises. Now, he was overprotective. Paranoid. Treating her like she was made of sugar and spice and everything nice. But Rowan was no longer that innocent little assistant.

The boardroom where he used to bend her over his desk? Now, it was where she sat beside him.

The penthouse where he whispered dirty things in her ear? Now, it was where she whispered back—and he listened.

When enemies targeted their unborn baby, Vincent reverted to his old ways. So Rowan did what any self-respecting mafia wife would do: She reminded him exactly who he had married. And when their enemies made the mistake of kidnapping her while she was in labor? They were about to find out, too.

Filthy Lies is the second book in the mafia romance duology Akopov Bratva. Vince and Rowan’s story begins in Filthy Promises.

Absolutely love this duet!

First I have to give a shout out to the narrators bc they absolutely make the book worth listening to!!! The male narrator IS the MMC!! The storyline is fantastic, and the writing is excellent too. I can’t say enough about this one. Nicole Fox books can be hit out or miss but this one is a definite HIT and a MUST LISTEN! It’s part two of a duet, as are all of her books, so don’t be surprised - and you definitely need to listen to both parts (of course!) I can totally recommend this duet!!

BEST Nicole Fox mafia duet yet!

Don’t walk - RUN and get this book! I’ve listened to almost every Nicole Fox book available and this one is by far the best! The banter, the suspense and oh my goodness the Vince! Just go listen, you won’t be disappointed.

Bummer after book 1

I really loved the 1st book. I wondered what book 2 would be about based on how the 1st one ended…. And It’s disappointing. I’ in my opinion , book 1 could have been 2 chapters longer and tied the story up in a perfect little bow.

On chapter 44 of book two I’m still wondering why I’m still listening bc nothing has happened . Unfortunately It’s a DNF for me.

Excellent narration

womp womp

Book 1 was amazing great story great narration. Book 2 on the other hand was a total drag. I almost gave up listening half way through. The FMC Rowan is so hypocritical like you knew who you married and what Vince was all about when you married him, but yet in this book all you do is complain and judge him for his choices and actions which became really annoying because it went on for soooo long. The whole middle was a drag became difficult to listen but I stuck with it because I hate to not finish a book little petpeve of mines. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ending was ok I would recommend still because if you listened to book 1 it's only right to listen to book 2. Enjoy!
