About this listen
I was raised to be a ruler of two worlds.
One with a pen.
One with a knife.
Be the king of the concrete jungle at all costs.
I should've simply taken a queen, not courted one.
I should've forced her submission, not earned it.
I should've let respect be enough, not fall in love.
Someone has made a grave mistake in coming for my company.
For my throne.
For my Mia Bella.
And for that, they will not only meet the man I was raised to become, but the one I am now, for the only woman I will ever bow to.
Warning: This book is part one of a duet. It does end on a cliff-hanger.

The story had so much suspense, drama and a good dash of the darkness that you would expect from a Mafia book. It also had a beautiful sweetness between the main characters that would shine through that had me hooked.
The ending certainly has me excited for the next one in the series and anything else that Xavier Neal chooses to write. This was an amazing listen.
I also wanted to give a shout out to the narrators. I dont think more perfect narrators could have been chosen. There narration just added that next level to an already amazing book

Narration by Joy Beharie and Tom Haire
This was an exciting and enjoyable start to this duet. It’s been sometime since I have listened to a book by Xavier and this one had me in all sorts of emotions.
The start shows us a close friendship and kinship between Benicio and his cousin Miko that sets the stage for this mafia romance. Then in swoops our sassy heroine Chantal who isn’t backing down to no one!
I loved her sass, and her don’t get in my way attitude that had me chuckling quite a bit; especially with her interactions with Miko. She’s strong willed and knows what she wants and is able to handle herself. No wonder Beni is smitten for this outspoken courageous woman because I sure was right off the bat.
When Beni thinks he can sweep into seeing Chantal and change her life, he doesn’t anticipate such a strong willed woman who captivates his heart and his life. Their dating starts unusually because Beni isn’t accustomed to it. Made mafia men don’t pay attention to women and don’t usually listen to them either. That was makes this mafia romance a bit different but in a really enjoyable way.
There is someone who doesn’t agree with Beni and Chantal’s relationship and it’s put her life and the lives of those close to her at risk. Then there’s the fact that Chantal is one of Beni’s accountants and has brought things to his attention which likely also started to make her a target with whoever is taking from the mafia, specifically Beni the reigning Capo.
This all comes to a head with mafia style killings and an abduction, can’t wait to hear what happens next and if this curious couple will ever get their HEA.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book. Both narrators are new to me but I really fell into their performances. I don’t know or understand Spanish so it was a bit distracting for me🤓at times, but also made for some comedic scenes too when Beni is translating Miko’s comments. The cliffhanger ending left me on the edge and emotional with all that happened. I really need to get my hands on book 2.

The narration is spot-on. Joy Beharie and Tom Haire's depiction of the characters was perfect. They were authentic in their roles, making the story even more engaging. Dark Ruler was a fantastic listen; the storyline and the cast were terrific. I can't wait to listen to the second book. I'm recommending the Bennett Duet to those interested in a hot and not too dark mafia romance.
