Historia
Being attracted to her isn't wrong…but acting on it would be. As the patriarch of the powerful and wealthy Cavalieri family, my choices come with consequences for everyone around me. The roots of my ancestral, billionaire-dollar winery stretch deep into the rich Italian soil, as does our legacy of ruthlessness and scandal. It isn't the fact she is half my age that makes her off-limits. Nothing is off-limits for me. A wounded bird caught in a trap not of her own making, she poses no risk to me. My obsessive desire to possess her is the real problem—for both of us.

The narrators were great
Revisado: 04-29-25
First, this review has no bearing whatsoever on the narrators. They did an amazing job.
Now, on to the review:
I dont know how things are done in Italy but I feel like consent would still be a thing. Every single spicy scenes in this book rolls over consent and buries it 100 feet deep.
Look, I get the author was probably trying to go for a Dom/Sub or CNC setup but she failed miserably. I'd be into that if there was even one conversation between the MCs involving consent, agreement, & safe words. But there isn't. This is purely SA in the highest form. She says no multiple times and he just says "I'm sorry" as he does it anyway.
I get the FMC is trying to say she's into it because she likes "when a man takes what he wants" but this is r@pe. It's not CNC if there is no conversation about it.
Also from the snippets we get from one of the sons POVs they're not going to be any different.
Speaking of Italy. Why do we get words/phrases spoken completely in Italian with no translation? I will admit that I am not cultured much, but wouldn't they be speaking Italian 24/7 in Itaily? When I read books based in other countries I assume they are speaking the native tongue and we're understanding or translating as we go. Unless they speak English there most of the time it makes no sense whatsoever to have untranslated dialog.

Historia
Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Creating our fantasy jars filled with love notes of our secret desires was a way to revive the monotonous routine that had become our marriage. But pulling that little piece of paper with my husband's most desired secret was a shock I wasn’t prepared for.

it's worth a listen for sure. I absolutely love duets and both narrators did a fantastic job. Sean had to voice 4 different men regularly and did a wonderful job making each one distinguishable from the others.

Historia
As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything. Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can. I flee into the night, nursing my broken heart. Being a rejected mate corrupts the soul, however, and in this game of Courts and Kings, nobody wins. Nobody except the monsters in the shadows.

DNF this one
Revisado: 02-20-25
Honestly this book started out strong. It has an interesting concept and I love the best friend side character.
However, the love interests are boring af. It's so hard to keep track of who is who because some have very similar names and they don't have very distinct personalities. It probably would be better if there was a narrator for each love interest but sadly there is not.
Also, chapter 25 made me gag so hard. Look, I got they're vampires or whatnot and they drink blood but some blood is off limits if you know what I mean.
Also, chapter 31 is gross. This is coming from a person who reads Dark Romance and Monster/Alien novels on the regular.

Picture this - I’m ready to win back the love of my life, and I’m going big this time. We’re talking boom box, sing her name in the rain, let the whole damn neighborhood know I'm good and ready this time around. After all, if you're going to grand gesture the ever-loving hell out of a second chance, you need to pull out all the stops. There’s only one little problem. My college girlfriend isn't the one who shows up when I play my "I'll do anything to win you back" tune. The woman who flings open the second-floor window tells me my ex doesn’t live here anymore.

I got bored with this one fairly quickly. The MCs don't have any substance and fall flat. The overuse of 80s references got old very quickly.

Hit me. Kick me. Hurt me. Hate me. There’s nothing that the students of Raleigh High can do to Silver Parisi anymore. Over the past year, she’s had to endure more pain and suffering than most people are asked to bear in their lifetimes. She’s a pariah, an outcast, a ghost. She’s also never been one to take shit lying down, though...despite what half the football team might say. With only 168 days left of the school year, it won’t be long until graduation, and Silver’s planning on skipping town and leaving Raleigh firmly in her rearview mirror. Until he comes along....

continuity errors make me sad
Revisado: 02-03-25
As the title states there are some continuity errors in this book. The performance of the voice actors was great though. No hate on those two.
Now, on to the uncomfortable bit. There will be spoilers in this review! You have been warned.
1. There is SA in this book. It's hinted at pretty early on. The problem is not the SA itself. The problem is the with the continuity. At one point in the book Silver is trying not to think about what happened but a memory pops through anyway. In her memory one of her SAers tells her to "open your mouth" if she wants to not be unalived. Yet later when the story is being told that part is not mentioned at all. Maybe it's supposed to be in that spot that is glossed over where the other two do the thing but I doubt it.
2. Silver is hit in the face multiple times during the incident yet her parents don't know what happened to her. How did she hide the bruising? How did she get home after her clothes were ruined? Just, HOW?
I know the author is trying to portray the parents as being "inattentive" but come on... The school administration got involved and her parents still don't know.
3. Why do books only act like you person involved in the SA is the bad guy? There were 3 guys in that bathroom yet only 1 gets mentioned alot and only 1 seems to get the full anger/resentment he deserves. At one point it was mentioned that Jacob was the "ringleader" of the group but that still doesn't excuse the actions of the other two. Even IF Jacob had not set it up and encouraged his friends to partake they are still POS's who would do that at some point without his encouragement. Hold the other two accountable!
4. What happened between Silver & Kacey? Yeah, we know Kacey was jealous that Jacob was giving attention to Silver but what happened afterwards. Was Kacey the one who found her in the bathroom? What exactly happened?

AI voice was weird
Revisado: 05-11-24
As far as the story goes it dragged on & on. it seemed like it took forever for anything to be revealed.
the narration wasn't the worst thing but it did have spots that were terrible. For some reason some of the scenes with the Aunts were sped up and it really took me out of the moment.

Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend.

I'm from the south, Mississippi specifically, and I found this episode hilarious. Yes, these two make fun of EVERYTHING (except the victims) and it's refreshing. If you do not like comedy centered around stereotypes & dark humor this is not the one for you.

Historia
The one thing you never talk about while you’re in the Scholomance is what you’ll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it’s all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we’ll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls. And now the impossible dream has come true. I’m out, we’re all out. We saved everyone. So much for my great-grandmother’s prophecy of doom and destruction. Ha, only joking! Actually, it’s gone all wrong.
