Summary

They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.
Mine were broken before we left church.
They say your heart only beats for one man.
Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.
I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage. 

They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.
One kiss.
Two men.
Three lives.
Entwined together. 

And somewhere between these two men, I had to find my forever.

God-awful pathetic woman

I have real issues with the ‘heroine’. She really was TSTL, emotionally dependent and with no life or interests of her own. I could not abide her childishness, too ‘embarrassed’ to get contraception and too fluffy headed to consider what might result. We are taking about an adult woman! Why women writers create such pathetic female characters is beyond me. It’s insulting.

Juvenile drivel

One to rival 50 Shades of Grey! Not sure that I was quite expecting that from this author, it being the first one I’ve listened to or read. The reviews and synopsis didn’t give that much away! I’m guessing the target audience is probably younger than me. It was quite immature, superficial and also irresponsible in parts such as having unprotected sex and thinking that’s ok! The narration was good and believable for the characters so gave that a higher score but overall, quite ridiculous so only a 2 ⭐️ from me! Sorry!

Too much for me

This book is brilliant if you don't want to be challenged in any way with regard to the storyline. The narrators did a fair job with what they were given. It was so contrived and the epilogue made me want to be sick in my mouth! But people do love this stuff even if it is run of the mill.

Excellent

This story was brilliant and you could feel the sparks flying of them but Francesca was a bit to Young as I would of stood up to a Father more especially at the end of the book when he made my husband kneel I would of barged into the room after he said I was the only good thing in his life

Villian & Nemesis

First of all, the narrattion. WOW Savannah Peachwood and Stephen Dexter were beyond amazing, their performances truly magnificent. The way they express all the characters emotions, the tone and paced of their voices was simply great throughout the entire Audiobook.

I cannot express how much I loved this book, it was perfect from beginning to end, it's raw, emotional, with so much angst that will draw you nuts and won't be able to think of anything else but this story.

It is so amazingly well written, it's the right mix of a perfect historical book, but set into the modern world, that only L.J  Shen knows how to deliver it with so much perfection.

Wolfe Keaton and Francesca Rossi were amazing characters, with their complete different personalities, but they complemented each other so well. Their story wasn't easy, the pad to achieve their HEA full of many connflicts that teared them apart and many knots that tied them together. And you are left with no other choice but to suffer along the way with them, and be drowned in a pool of many emotions while trying to figure everything out.

*Wolfe Keaton was a kiss thief, but it wasn’t only a kiss that he stole. He stole my heart, too.*

A refreshing take this kind of genre. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

This was a different flavour on a well known genre and I found it refreshing. Senator Wolfe Keaton confident arrogant handsome alpha, Francesca Rossi beautiful sheltered virgin. Both have their plans mapped out for their lives, one seeks revenge and the other seeks love and happiness with another. Unfortunately just like reality life happens and craps all over their plans.

The two constantly bicker and argue, distrust each other and that usual elephant in the room called miscommunication frequently stomps amongst them. However what neither can ignore is the passion and lust that ignites between them when in close proximity and especially when they touch.

I haven't read this author before, I will seek other book because this was well written.

A 5* story and a 5* listen!!

I have read this story in book form and really, really enjoyed it, so I thought I would add the audio and have a listen.

I thought this story was fantastic. Right from the start I was drawn into the world of Wolfe and Francesca, and what a nasty world that is. This is an enemies to lovers story, and boy was Wolfe a difficult man from the outset. Francesca, I'm happy to say, could stand up for herself. Sparks flew - good and bad. It is simply a delightfully written enjoyable listen.

The narrators were fantastic. They really did capture the characters perfectly. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys contemporary romantic fiction.
