About this listen
I was raised to be a ruler of two worlds.
One with a pen.
One with a knife.
Be the king of the concrete jungle at all costs.
I should've simply taken a queen, not courted one.
I should've forced her submission, not earned it.
I should've let respect be enough, not fall in love.
Someone has made a grave mistake in coming for my company.
For my throne.
For my Mia Bella.
And for that, they will not only meet the man I was raised to become, but the one I am now, for the only woman I will ever bow to.
Warning: This book is part one of a duet. It does end on a cliff-hanger.

Story
Since aging out of the foster care system and becoming a nurse, all I dreamed of was marrying a nice doctor and moving to a two-story house in the suburbs. So how did a dangerous biker gang criminal end up handcuffed to my bed? And why did I agree to let that animal teach me how to...ahem...do things. Wicked things. In the very same bed he’s been handcuffed to in order to keep me safe? Long story. And I’m truly scared to find out how it will end.

Story
The assignment is simple. Don't let the client die. Don't let her get kidnapped. Don't sleep with her. It's the last part that unexpectedly complicates things for me after I'm introduced to the most beautiful and brilliant woman I could've ever envisioned. And it only gets worse when we have to stash ourselves away in a small town where our calculated cover is to be a recently engaged couple. My new mission is now significantly harder. After all, my job isn't to love my boss' sister. It's to stop an unidentified threat from taking her - or die trying.

I swear, one minute I'm dozing off during the night shift—don't judge me—and the next I'm being told I'm Fate Mated to an ancient dragon. An ancient dragon I couldn't help but save when he woke me up out of the aforementioned slumber—again, don't judge me. Now this same ancient dragon is doing everything he can to win me over, because it's up to me whether or not he'll live the rest of his life in agony or bliss. Oh, and let's not forget the fact we're being chased by elves, working with a grumpy Griffin, and have to rescue some poor dragon before an evil corporation kills it.

I was not a gambler. No way. I've built an existence free of risk and adventure. From my career to a small life with my closest family. I was not going to do anything to jeopardize my heart. But when my neighbor and number one menace to my safe plans showed up in Vegas, I did what every adventurous (not!) woman would do. I got drunk and married the man.

I was supposed to be in charge. That was always my intention. Until that slick corporate raider, Ethan Bradford, clicked his fancy pen and poof! Just like that, I was under him, instead of on top. Rich and powerful men - especially arrogant, handsome ones - are all the same. I know exactly how to handle him, but when my father pulls rank and orders me to play nice, my plans of putting him in his place vanish. I know his type. I've been around men like him my entire life, but one chance meeting with him and his son, makes me question everything I thought I knew.

Sunshine. It's a nickname I haven't heard since I lived on Woodbury Lane, where the houses were pretty, but the secrets? Deadly. It was a pet name known only to the Bullets. Rough, violent, and ruthless, they laid claim to the town - and my heart. I wasn't supposed to fall for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks‚ especially not four of them. But they were the only ones who understood that sometimes hell hides in plain sight.

London Sinclair was the boy my mother warned me about for as long as I can remember. His name alone has brought my family nothing but shame and suffering, so it’s no surprise we’ve been sworn enemies since the first moment we met. With his bedroom eyes and cocky smile, he has all the girls under his spell. I have one more year of school left, and then I’m home free because I’m guarding a secret, one I’m ashamed to keep. The boy who is completely off-limits is the one who drives me, Holland Brooks, wild. I want London, and I think…he wants me, too.

My plan is simple: infiltrate Townsend Industries, get evidence of their alleged illegal dealings, and fork it over to the person blackmailing me. Then I’ll be free to leave that life of crime behind me forever and raise my niece in the peace she deserves. But Kyle’s smarter than the average trust fund baby. He’s also ruthless and distrustful. He never lets anyone in…until one day at work. I get sick. He’s there to care for me.

Just okay
Not sure how to write this but this book was just okay for me. I like me some bad boys but I don’t feel it here. I just feel like he’s taking life without a care and she doesn’t seems to be all that bother, I’m okay killing because you have too but killing someone who’s your guard due to him not wanting to shot her is beyond me. And what he did to her 1 time date. 🙄 the story also seems to jump around and I do not feel the chemistry between the two. So all in all it was just okay for me. Joy Beharie & Tom Haire did an amazing job at narrating

Story
Too much in Italian
I was not a huge fan 🙈. It started out great! I was loving the sexual tension and banter between Chantal and Benicio that was starting right off the bat..... but then there was all the Italian dialogue. Ok I get that the men are Italian.... and yes it was translated, but the constant conversations that were happening in another language, just to be translated right away became quite annoying. I also feel like the word "chortle" was WAY overused! I also wasn't a fan of the over descriptive violent scenes. There weren't a lot of them, but the ones there were had my stomach churning a bit. I did like the story and I thought the narration was great. They had some fantastic accents going on... and even when Joy Behaire was speaking Italian as Chantal.... she nail a bad Italian accent just as great as she had the good accent. I was enjoying the story, but unfortunately I don't think that I can make it through another book with THAT much Italian dialogue in it.

Not your typical mafia romance
LOVED it. Well written with great character development. It was semi dark with a lot of bantering & humor thrown in. I wasnt ready for that cliffy, and cant wait for Book 2 to come out!

If the goal was to completely dislike Chantal, the the goal was reached
First of all, every single female character this author writes is exactly the same. The might “look different”, but their personalities are all the same…exhausting.
Secondly, Chantal constantly expected Benecio to change, but she wasn’t compromising on anything. That quick tongue and constant challenge. Like sis, do you know who you are with! You know who this man is. The fact that he let her talk to him like that. All those exhausting lectures.
This book was exhausting because Chantal is an exhausting, spoiled, character. The only place Benecio had control with her was in the bedroom. Ugh,

Dark Ruler
This is the first book in the Bennett Duet. I love Xavier Neal’s style of writing. I love the the FMC is never “perfect “. That she has her flaws but embraces them to make her a powerful, strong character. I love how Bennett is this strong powerful Mafia style boss. But with the touch of the right and only woman he can learn a softer way to love. I absolutely loved all the Italian throughout the book. It gives it so much more depth. I am dying for the next book with that ending. Joy Beharie and Tom Haire did such a phenomenal job narrating these amazing characters, especially the accents and languages.

A Dark Mafia Romance
Dark Ruler by Xavier Neal is a dark mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Joy Behare and Tom Haire. This is the first book in The Bennett Duet.
This is the third series of Xavier's that I have read and it won't be my last. The relationship between Benicio and Chantal is a bit messy as they figure out how their relationship will work. But you can't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ends on a great cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book in the series Dark Reign to be released on audio so I can get the rest of their story.
Joy and Tom did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, mafia romances, or romantic suspense.

Great story!
While this is a little darker than what I prefer this author snuck in an amazing story that really kept me glued to my earbuds. This took me on a journey meeting characters that I grew to love, worry about and feel saddened for them. I really enjoyed learning about Benecio and his life as the Butcher Boy. He has many levels to his personality that come out as the story unfolds. I loved how tenacious he was going after “his girl”. His cousin brings the lighthearted to the story. He made me laugh numerous times with his wit and comments.
I did listen to this in audio. While I have not listened to either of the narrators before they both did an amazing job. Their Itialian sounded lovely.
There is a ton of itialian language in the story which I do not speak. It is translated but I wondered if it was just in english with some Itialian periodically it would have the same effect. I did love hearing it but just had to wait for the translation. This does end on a cliffhanger as the synopsis mentions so I am eagerly awaiting the second book in the duet.
