About this listen

Would you strike a deal with this devil?


"I made a deal with the devil . . . but is it really hell if I love the way it burns?"

Gia
Tatum Blackthorn is Lucifer personified. A monster from my nightmares, now masquerading as my boss. When he discovers my weakness, he makes me an offer I cannot refuse, and I become his wife.

I always knew he was depraved, but as his twisted vendetta unfurls, so does my darkest secret.

Now we're both the targets of very nefarious people . . . but they're about to find out no one matches my husband's wrath.

Tate
I am a man of few pleasures, one of which is taunting my secretary, Gia Bennett. But after I blackmailed her into becoming my bride, it's clear my fixation has no limits.

When my revenge spree sparks into an all-consuming mafia war, it isn't just my life that's on the line.

And in this chess game, the king protects the queen . . . even at the price of losing his entire empire.

Navessa Allen, H.D. Carlton and Rina Kent, Handsome Devil is an intense, addictive and very sexy dark romance that you won't be able to put down.

The new book in the Forbidden Love series, it can also be read as a standalone. But if you haven't read Books 1 and 2, Truly Madly Deeply and Wildest Dreams, there's still time...

Handsome Devil is a gripping and emotionally charged story that I couldn't listen to quickly enough. L.J. Shen has brilliantly created a dark and intricate tale of love, loyalty, and redemption. I highly recommend this audiobook to lovers of darker contemporary romance.

At the heart of this story are the complex and compelling characters of Tate and Gia. Tate is a morally grey enigma, a tortured soul, and a man whose cold exterior and ruthless actions are a direct result of a traumatic past. His disconnected nature and obsessive behaviour makes him a challenging protagonist, but I found this anti-hero compelling, engaging, and I was rooting for him from the beginning. Gia is Tate's long-suffering PA, who naturally evolves into the perfect foil to his darkness. Her resilience and inner strength shine through as she navigates his demanding and often cruel world.

This audiobook is an amazing enemies-to-lovers story, that turns an unusual business proposal into an absorbing romance. The tension between Tate and Gia is palpable from their very first interaction. Gia's deal to marry Tate, a man who believes himself incapable of love, creates an intriguing and high-stakes situation.

This story is packed with suspense and danger from the beginning as Tate's involvement with the mafia puts both of their lives at risk. The gripping plot, coupled with the strong character development, made it a page-turner for me. L.J. Shen also treats long-time fans to welcome mentions of other characters from her shared world, adding extra satisfying moments that I really enjoyed.

Handsome Devil is a brilliant listen, a dark and passionate story that shows that even the most broken of hearts can find its way back to the light. It's a fitting finale to The Forbidden Love series. Notable mentions to the narrators who brought the two characters to life.

this was a fun read , not dark romance but still enjoyable as the Hero was very much unhinged and did not play when it came to his woman.
