About this listen

Emma

I was a willing sacrifice in an arranged marriage.

Until my father made a new deal and gave me to another.

Now I must marry a savage.

A Northerner—the very thing I had been taught to hate.

I vow to never be his. I will never belong to Shay O’Reagan.

I will defy him every step of the way.

He may lay claim to my body, but he will never own my heart.

Shay

In order to secure my place in the Irish Mafia, I agree to an arranged marriage.

A marriage with a willing bride, one groomed to be the wife of a mafia king.

What I get is a redheaded beauty hell-bent on my destruction.

Turns out, she was meant to be the perfect mafia wife—just not mine.

That treacherous detail doesn’t stop me from wanting her.

From needing to taste her ruby red lips.

The fire that blazes in her defiant eyes lights a desire inside of me that demands I claim her as my own.

While she wastes my time defying me with every breath, the North rises up demanding retribution for a crime that was buried a long time ago.

The clock is ticking as I battle a war around me and within my own walls. Every minute takes us both closer to certain death.

I’m unsure of who my true allies are and where my enemies are hiding. There’s only one thing I’m certain of.

I will never give up.

I will fight to the end, no matter the cost.

I am a King and I will die on my feet.

Mafia King by Vi Carter is a dark Irish mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Curt Bonnem and Allyson Voller. This is the second book in the Young Irish Rebels series.

This is the second book of Vi's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Emma and Shay. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Mafia Games to be released on audio so I can get Richard and Claire's story.

Curt and Allyson did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you love dark romances, mafia romances, arranged marriages or romantic suspense.

I love Vi Carter’s books- they’re layered, complex, and a fast-paced listen. This audiobook had me thinking long after it was over. Curt Bonnem and Allyson Voller do an excellent job bringing this story to life.

Emma is already promised to another in an arranged marriage. She has long ago accepted her fate as a mafia princess. Things change, and the marriage she expected is changed: She is instead promised to Shay O’Reagan. The relationship is on rocky ground from the start. Shay doesn’t trust her or her family, even though he accepts the arrangement for his own political future within the Irish Mafia. Although there is undeniable chemistry, the deep-seeded distrust and family rivalries don’t sleep easy.

Emma is no shrinking violet- she’s smart, tough, shrewd, and ready to fight. When she pushes back, there’s a reason behind it. It doesn’t take long for both Emma and Shay to realize the enemy isn’t the other, but larger forces at work.

I really loved this book. I loved the very human depiction of lust, suspicion, slow-building trust, and the undying need for vengeance. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series.

This series hits all the marks!

Vi Carter is continuing her winning Young Irish Rebels series with Mafia King. And what a fantastic story it is! Just the right amount of suspense, romance and angst to keep me on edge and falling in love with the couple. Emma is set for life. An arranged marriage to Jack O'Reagan is in her future and resigned to her fate, she has made her peace with it. And then the deal changes and she is told she is marrying Jack's cousin Shay! He is King of the North, and she will not go into this marriage willingly. Shay is everything I expect in a mafia king. Dark, dangerous, alpha, he isn't easy with Emma, but her feistiness kept her strong. Will these two find a way to bridge their gap? Emma at times showed her naivete, very hostile and judgemental, but as time went, her growth made it easy to like her. Shay too could be brutal, but his misunderstood character was easy to poke through and love. This story is full of action, not only in the bedroom and at times had me on edge thinking the worst was going to happen! It's the best kind of suspense blended with the growing love between Emma and Shay. A great addition to this series, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Irish brogue is one of the hardest accents to sound realistic, but this narration team does it with ease. Curt Bonnem is amazing as Shay. He has a slight growl in his voice giving Shay a feeling of danger. Allyson Voller pulls out all the stops as Emma, from the slightly bratty to the mature woman. These two work well together creating this fantastic Irish mafia world and I look forward to more from them.

Irish mafia romantic suspense! Need I say more?

Born and raised in a mafia family Emma has always known that her marriage would be for power and not love. She has been preparing herself to marry one man only to have the groom switched and she is now facing leaving her family and her home to marry a man she doesn’t want.

Shay has agreed to marry as it will give him power in both the North and the South regions. He is surprised by his bride as she looks to be a damsel in need of being rescued but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. With so many different agendas in play from the people in their lives they find themselves trying to stay one step ahead of the danger surrounding them as well as get the justice that Shay and his family needs.

Emma’s feisty personality is a perfect match for Shay as she understands his lifestyle but with her he shows a gentler side. Suspense, surprises and two characters who found love where they least expected it. The narrators were a great match as they brought out the personalities of the characters and the suspense of the story. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession
