Gosh the book was perfect from the first word down to the last! I loved Lila and Tiernan so much , the relationship was the perfect amount of enemies to lovers. And the performance but the narrators was perfection!

Holy hotness!

These are two of my favorite narrators! But the way they brought the book to life was absolute perfection and Corvin with an Irish lit 🥵

MIND “F”ing BLOWN

This book, this book was way beyond good. Please may I have more stars to give? My mind is absolutely blown. Ok first, one of my yums is he falls first and this book has it in spades. He fall hard, like blow the world up hard. Go fast to read/ listen to it. Please make it your next read. OMG the narration is so amazing, really both narrators knocked it out of the park!!

Villain Gets His Girl

Obsessed. Tiernan Callaghan has my dark heart. This had it all. Arranged/Forced Marriage. Hate to Love. Disability Rep. Age Gap. Rival Families. Plot twists. Angst and heartache. An MMC who will burn the world down for his love. A morally black MMC who is a villain and still gets the girl.

Lila Ferrantte is the sun to melt the cold ruthless exterior of Tiernan Callaghan. Faced with an arranged marriage due to extreme circumstances - our Bad Bishop doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into, he certainly didn’t expect to fall madly in love with Lila, a fresh faced 18 year old who’s has been kept away from the world for her entire life.

10/10 would recommend - especially the audiobook which is dual performance and was SO GOOD Corvin King did an amazing job with Tiernan’s Irish accent and Lucy Rivers was phenomenal.

Slow start

I started listening to this book from a new book friend recommendation. It took me a few days to get back to this book after the first chapter. But when I did I was hooked!! So goood!! This boon was not what I was expecting, it was so much more!!
