Grieved Loss

The Bellandi Crime Syndicate Series, Book 3

By: Adelaide Forrest

Narrated by: Patrick Zeller, Meghan Kelly

This shadow always follows his Sunshine.

Her life is a carefully crafted lie.

For years, I only watch my Sunshine from the shadows; my loyalty to the Bellandis demands nothing less. When her husband is killed, the path is clear for me to step in and claim her for myself.

I’ll give her a glimpse into the truth.

I give Calla and her kids one year to grieve their loss. When the year is over, I pluck them from the grey world she clings to and insert them into the vivid color of my Bellandi life.

Even when it hurts, and she rails against me.

Rising tensions in my world threaten to steal her away from me, but I won’t let anyone take what is mine. Instead, I’ll demand every piece of her: her heart, her body, her soul.

And I won’t stop until I’ve taken everything.

Grieved Loss is a full-length standalone novel, but the series presents a better listening experience when following the suggested listening order. This series contains dark elements, including an over-the-top antihero who does as he pleases. Please listen at your own discretion.

I am anxiously awaiting the last 2 books in this series!!

I loved how the author developed the love between the lead characters while weaving the story around them. I have listened to her other series as well and find her storytelling wonderful.

Just a good story line

The female narrator is not my favorite. It literally made me want to stop listening, but the story was to good to quit

shadow and sunshine

this is another story by the author that was well written. I love these two love story yes it was dark and can be viewed as a little unorthodox but I was hear for it...

Arrogance

Arrangant alpha male and a weak FMC. Enjoyed the narrators. No cheating or angst.Onto the next book.

Stalker Romance

Okay, I didn't expect Ryker to get a book as a stalker romance, this trope is not my favorite in general. But this one was okay, though some parts where he breached her privacy did bug me, but these 2 are just made for each other. The narrators did a great job in this series, I love the audio in this series.

Questionable

I could enjoy this because it was fake but he kidnapped her and gave her no choice in being with him. It was blurring the line to be almost rape So far my least favorite story

Ryker and Calla

A wild, raw, crazy and intense story. Ryker and Calla embarked on a gritty roller coaster ride. I never thought I'd say this but Ryker was a lovable killer, he wanted Calla and did everything he could to be with her and her children. The way he loved them was over the top but so addictive. I enjoyed every second of this on the edge of your seat and heart-pounding journey.

Ticks all the boxes...

Another great read. I really like how interconnected this continuing story arc is. Characters from past books make numerous appearances that advance the storyline. The continuity is wonderful. Mind the TW‘s. Narration is fantastic!

Female narrator ruins it

The female narrator has the weirdest, semi-robotic cadence, with strange upspeak that I had to DNF and read on KU. It’s like she’s bad AI impression and I had to tap out. Use a different narrator next time!!

Love this series of books by the author. Was not crazy about the female voice.

I've listen to her on another book and it doesn't make the story as good as it should be. She is very mono toned and the way she talks it sounds so winey. It's like she doesn't know how to put real emotions into it. Almost like a computer reading. I did like the males voice. He had more emotion to his.
