About this listen

I've always dreamed of romance, but this wedding is strictly business.

Sofiya

I've spent years hidden away to protect my father from the shame of having a defective daughter. The head of the Bratva can't be associated with weakness—and to him, that's all I am.

That is until a marriage alliance gives him the opportunity to finally be rid of me.

As I head down the aisle towards my mysterious husband, I hope I'm moving towards love and freedom. But Matteo makes it clear he wants nothing to do with me.

I wish I could return his coldness, but the dangerous Don sets my body ablaze whenever he's near.

Matteo

My life has been defined by betrayal.

A family traitor murdered my parents, and I've carried their blood on my hands all these years. I learned long ago not to open my heart.

As head of the Five Families, I've always controlled my city, but with enemies rising up on all sides, a marriage alliance is my only way forward. Except my bride is not what I expected—and now she's consuming my every thought.

When my trust is shattered again, I'll go to any means necessary to protect the Family.

His Tesoro is a spicy, dual first-person POV mafia romance with an age gap, arranged marriage, disabled heroine, and jealous/possessive hero. This book is a standalone that ends in a HEA. For mature listeners.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the synopsis but its such a moving listen as someone who lives with joint pain through RA i could understand what she went through to a certain extent and people who live with this day to day ,its only the second book Ive listened to that made me tear-up but it also made me laugh sometimes, Ive not heard Lee Daniels narrate before she did a great job and Teddy Hamilton is one of my favourite narrators.I hope there are going to be more Audible books by this author .

Great listen.

Okay I do not know where to start! I've never read anything by this Author previously but had heard really good things about this book and the chronic illness rep within.

We follow Sofiya who has been hidden away by her father, abused and shamed due to her disability. Suddenly she is told she is being married off to Matteo to secure an alliance between the two mafia families. Our MMC trusts pretty much no one and carries his own trauma and guilt so to him this is a marriage for appearances only. He has no idea until seeing Sofiya in her wheelchair, bringing herself down the Isle, that she has medical issues.

These two characters were instantly likeable and written so incredibly well. The chronic illness rep is one of the best I have read down to the day to day, mental and even how it effects sex. Their relationship builds gradually no matter how hard Matteo fights it and his care for her is chefs kiss. Sofiya is strong, loving and resilient. Now this book is spicy, I hate it when I see ppl say no to chronic illness rep as it will be boring or sad! This is as spicy and kinky as any other mafia read but with extra depth and care that makes Sofiya feel so seen and desired.

The found family is so incredibly done, banter, amazing characters...pure perfection! The mafia side is not left out, plenty of action and a woman who is a better shot than her husband ;-) There are lies, betrayal, a moment that brings fury (me shouting you idiot lol), surprises and more. Not to mention a service dog that is beyond adorable.

The romance, found family, story and writing was amazing! As someone with chronic illness and pain Sofiya resonated and made me feel seen and Matteo is 🔥. New fave author added to my list!

Amazing!!!

In the first part of this book I was like “there is no way I will forgive this asshole for how he treated his wife”, but Emilia was like “hold my beer girly”

Emotional, beautiful and entertaining.

I loved this audio.
This was a great mafia romance with what I felt was a heartfelt and respectful representation of hEDS in correlation to what the fmc experienced throughout the book. This audio had me shouting, screaming, laughing and kicking my feet at many different points within the story which is why it has earned the rating it has.
I look forward to the next story in the series,

Great mafia romance
