Be careful what you wish for… I don’t just dream about possessive anti-heroes, I crave them. The dark, dangerous ones dripping with Bratva energy, the ones who claim you with a single look and make the world kneel just to keep you safe.

LOL, I too write these kind of romances under a pen name. The first third of the book... I totally got it because I too have had a few brief online stalkers... so it totally had me intrigued! I'm really liking Jane Henry's Audibles. And narrators Aaron and Kia work well together. I like a little dubious stuff and the steam was just about right in this one. 5 stars.

Historia
I wake up chained to the bed of a stranger. He says I’m his wife. I have nothing—no money. No friends. No escape. He’s everything I never imagined: ruthless, calculating, feared. A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

It's not too long and doesn't leave on a cliffhanger, so nice afternoon read. I love dark romances but I longed for a little more dubious and sexy scenes. However the storyline, the twists, and smexy stuff did keep me actively intrigiqued till the end. :) The narrators, Kia and Aaron were SPOT on, loved them. They brought the somewhat unique story to life! I just went and bought another of Jane Henry, hoping this one is slightly more .... um... firey. Either way, I'm sure it will be good.

Enter the world of the Dark Obsession series where power, control, and manipulation reign supreme. Contains books 1-5. In this gripping collection, the boundaries of love and cruelty blur. This isn't a romance. It's a dark and twisted obsession.

Not for the faint of heart
Revisado: 03-31-25
This is a dark... I don't want to say 'romance' because it never felt romantic for me. BUT if you're looking for a dark 'romance' (horror) with lots of detailed sex scenes... this may be for you! I was caught up in it pretty quickly however and on the edge of my seat more than once. I'm not really an easily triggered person, but in a few spots... I got a little queasy... IF YOU'RE easily triggered you may want to avoid this series.
I did have to take a pause book 3 before it started a secondary story in book 4; since it had the same narrators. But was doable that way.
In my dark romances, I always like an emotional connection, even if it's a dubious situation. These men said they were obsessed, but if you are after a woman's soul, the way to that is with an emotional connection, eye contact, and general concern for their interest and well being. However, it was worth the credit.
ACTUALLY the ending really smoothed it out and was a nice HEA considering.
I can't believe the FMC's weren't mentally certifiable after dealing with these brothers... but it is fiction.
I do wish the narrators had younger voices to reflect the ages of the characters involved. It might have helped.
Again, if you like DARK, this is the series for you :)

Historia
Massimo D’Agostino is the heir to his father’s empire. Don’t be fooled by his handsome face or that piercing blue gaze. He’s no prince charming. He’s dangerous and feared, possessive and fierce. Our first meeting began with a contract that forced me to marry him and sign my life away. I was a debt repayment and a pawn in his game to exact revenge against my father. The only way out is death. I belong to him now. Me, the Balesteri Mafia princess. Pure and untouched. Owned by the devil who placed me in a gilded cage.

Revisado: 03-31-25
I read some other reviews... don't listen to the negative ones. Though I do like my dark romance a little darker... I really enjoyed this. Though some think it was predictable, there's not enough of these stories left anymore. There is burn, spice, and shocking moments. I enjoyed it. Scared to l listen to book 2, because I know how that ends already. BUT loved this one,
The narrators both did a good job. Perhaps the male was more cut out for a or an older MMC or a different genre, but if you are able to see the cover (with the MMC) when he reads a chapter, your imagination can fill in the blanks just fine. It was easy for me to adjust and enjoy it, regardless. Worth the escape for a day or two.
Edge of the seat ending with an HEA.

I don't often leave reviews, but I wanted to leave one correcting some other reviews. If you read dark romances, this one was heart-pounding. Although I heard it was a slow start... I did not find that to be so, all the info and weaving of past and present was excellent story building and BURN. Although the female voice did seem a little older at first, after the 1st chapter, I got used to it and even enjoyed her voice as it went on. The male voice was the age of the character to me as well. So, let that one go. I liked the pattern of suspense and burn through the first half and then the heartpounding fear of the final half. I do write and read dark romance so none of the 'mature' scenes bothered me. Any thing else would be boring. The story captivated my interest all the way through and was the sort that made me binge it in just a few days. Thank you to the author. I look forward to more.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

Finally, a good dark Romance again
Revisado: 06-03-24
I must have read all the good ones till I found this series. No pussy footing around with this author, this book took off quickly and was not shy about the dark crazy stuff some of us love to read. It's got a lot of the triggers some of us use as a checklist. I was almost scared it was going to be a RH, but sort of dodged that bullet in book one :)
I don't have many personal triggers but make sure you are a dark smutty romance fan before reading or listening. (I'm really just a good housewife with guilty reading habits).
I won't give anything away.
I found book 4 on Tiktok and backtracked to book I to get the entire story.
The narrators are all good, I actually enjoy the angst in the male narrator's voice. I have heard him before so I was good with it :)
It does end on a cliffhanger, but that is always fine with me as long as the sequels are available immediately. Just starting book II, I enjoy how the characters arch into different people as the naughty romances pull new characteristics out of the characters.
Alexius is steamy and naughty, but all his brothers match that testosterone as book boyfriend alternatives. I'm mulling around the potential suspects as well, in the murders.
With that said, worth 5 stars and will probably finish the entire series in a few days :)

A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did. A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me. And now he's coming for me. Rough. Dirty. Dangerous. It's supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget. He'll make me his and I'll pretend I don't want him to. I'll run and he'll chase. Because I asked him for this. I begged him for this. Tonight, in the darkness, he's the hunter. And I'm the bait.

WoW Shock and Triggers~ Couldn't stop listening!
Revisado: 03-05-24
I don't have a lot of triggers. I love DR Fiction... it's fiction and an escape. Loved all the wild and crazy stuff. Also, to all the reviewing women who think all female characters need to sound like a 35-year-old deep-voiced strong feminist... you're wrong. Once I figuted out this took place in Europe I LOVED the accent and the female character's voice is similar to mine. Most women do have a feminine voices, I adjusted to the narrators just fine, In fact, they did well. I believe this was very worth my purchase and definitely worth your free credit1!! I ended up loving it.

DON'T DNF!!!
Revisado: 10-06-23
Read The Ritual and The Sacrifice first. I wish the female narrator was younger, however, because it took a while to adjust to the fact she was a 21-year-old. Wade through the tough first half because The Sinner takes off in shock and awe at all the suspense and revelations that play out in the second half!!! This one was really rough throughout the first half. It was difficult as I hate 'breath play' and hate the concept of multiple men involved; however, all is not as it appears. Little Demon is not my choice for a term of endearment for a female lover. BUT this book affected me the most. I'm not concerned with C or NC because that's what DR is all about... pushing boundaries. But this one is intense, I even had a nightmare when I started reading it. It has further depth that makes it all worthwhile in the end, There is an entire story that unravels and the childhood trauma and grooming is daunting, but crafts the storyline as to why Ellie is like she is. There were so many shocking moments in the middle and to the end, I'm glad I didn't give up in the beginning. Kudos for the entire 3 books I read.

Historia
I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison. But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated. Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Pushing limits
Revisado: 10-06-23
The narrator change was actually perfect as long as you read The Ritual first. It actually differentiated the characters for me from Book 1. In fact, I enjoyed the 'softer' tone of Tyson as it contrasted with his dominant character; you know the evil villain that speaks tenderly sometimes makes him more intimidating, making it far more interesting. Now this one pushed my own limits a bit, and author Dark Romances myself. But those are personal preferences. I'm not going to judge a book because the author's limits are higher than my own. I hate 'breath play' and no emotional contact between bad boy and good girl... however because there was that attachment, it made it all worthwhile.

Read THIS first!
Revisado: 10-06-23
I was getting tired of the milder dark romance lately... I almost bit off more than I could chew. Other than the 'breath play' this was probably the favorite of the 3 books in this series and the first one you should read since there is no book order. Wen Ross is always hot and the female narrator is perfect. Karens will always leave bad reviews, not taking into consideration what your preferences in Dark Romance are. It's a good foundation for the other two books, The Sacrifice and The Sinner. :) I might listen again, now that I'm finished with the others :)
