About this listen

Nina

I’ve been forced into an arranged marriage with the heir of the Italian mafia.

My brother made it clear.

Either I marry him, or he’ll make me wish I was dead.

I knew what was expected of me.

Put on a smile. Sit pretty. Say nothing.

What I didn’t expect was him.

My fiancée’s father. Twenty-five years older.

Forbidden.

And the only man who’s ever seen me.

Enzo

It should’ve been a simple arrangement.

But she ruined it. Ruined me.

Nina was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen.

Strong, intelligent…a virgin.

And my son’s fiancée.

I never wanted anything more.

To my credit, I tried to resist her.

But when her safety is threatened, I snap.

My son can’t have her.

Because no one touches what’s mine.

Sinful Temptation by Poppy St. John is an age gap mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Eliza Nyx and Lucas Troy. This is the second book in the Kings and Consorts series.

This is the second book of Poppy's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Enzo and Nina. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait to read to the next book in the series Cruel Dominion so I can get Carter and Anna's story.

Lucas and Eliza did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for an age gap romance, mafia romance or forbidden romance.

✨✨✨ Sinful Temptation by Poppy St. John (@poppystjohn), narrated by Eliza Nyx (@elizanyxnarrator) and Lucas Troy (@lucastroyvo), is a dark mafia romance and book 2 of her Kings and Consort series. ✨✨✨

Tropes:
🖤 Dark Mafia Romance
🥀 Age gap
🖤 Morally Gray MMC
🥀 Slow burn
🖤 Virgin FMC
🥀 Forced Proximity
🖤 DubCon, 🔫 & Pr!mal Play
🥀 Rival crime family
🖤 Arranged marriage

While the plot didn’t go as dark as book one, it definitely held its own in terms of tension and drive. Nina stole the show for me—her mix of bratty charm and fierce determination was irresistible. I loved watching her clash with the powerful mafia dons, refusing to back down no matter the cost. Her boldness wasn’t just entertaining; it was empowering.

The audio experience of this second installment was absolute fire—both narrators brought the characters to life with intensity, passion, and just the right edge. Their performances gave every scene an extra layer of grit and emotion, making it easy to stay completely immersed.

If you're into fast-paced mafia romance with razor-sharp characters and top-tier narration, this one’s a no-brainer. Expect sass, heat, and a heroine who doesn’t flinch when the stakes rise.

"You were never mine to touch…but I did. Again and again."

Sinful Temptation by Poppy St. John is the kind of dark, obsessive age-gap romance that doesn't ask for forgiveness—and doesn’t need to. It grabs you by the throat and dares you to look away. But what truly elevates this audiobook is the magnetic narration by Eliza Nyx and Lucas Troy, who breathe visceral life into Nina and Enzo. They don’t just tell the story—they become it.

Nyx’s portrayal of Nina is laced with fire and fragility in equal measure. You can hear her defiance tremble beneath the weight of her fear, feel the tightrope she walks between survival and desire. Troy, meanwhile, delivers Enzo with gravel-edged restraint, a conflicted man drowning in guilt, lust, and fury—until he snaps. Together, they create an audio experience that feels more like a private confession than a performance.

This isn’t a love story painted in soft pastels—Sinful Temptation is jagged, raw, and dripping with unfiltered passion. And yet, just when you think it's all darkness and destruction, there are moments of aching tenderness—hints of salvation neither character expected. Nina and Enzo shouldn't have worked. But somehow, against the rules and under the weight of their sins, they became each other’s only chance at something like love.

It’s twisted. It’s taboo. It’s unforgettable. And I devoured every second.

Book one was good but this book just took it up a notch. I love a little forbidden, age gap romance and a steamy morally grey man.
The story flows so smoothly and the chemistry between our MCs is so good you can feel it coming off the page.
I love Daddy Enzo and this is a great short and spicy Mafia read. I am looking forward to reading/ listening to book 3 next.

Gripping read
