I was born a princess among criminals. An untouchable cartel daughter amongst thieves. Heiress to a throne others have killed for, and one I'd do anything to escape. I want to start a new life with my first love, Diego. But his ruthless brother, Cristiano, will do anything to claim me for himself...Because in the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is a three-letter word: war. But in this feud between brothers, I'm the prize.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

After a life of pool hustling and living on the wrong side of the law, Ruby Elliott is living on the straight and narrow with sexy-as-all-hell NYPD detective, Troy Bennett. Now the only trouble Ruby has with the law is the naughty kind, pinned against the wall by Troy's strict and spectacularly hard body.

As the pieces and the players reveal themselves, Troy feels the fine edges of his control slipping—control he can't channel without hurting Ruby.

Lorenzo Gambini is bored. So f--king bored. Most people either annoy him or avoid him, afraid to face him. Figuratively. Literally. With his face partially disfigured, scarred, he looks every bit the monster the stories make him out to be: the notorious Scar. They say he's a sociopath. Maybe he's a psychopath. Whatever path he's on, people tend to stay far away from it. Until one day, a young woman bumps right into him - a woman just as fed up with life, but for much different reasons.

Book 2 - Beautiful Monsters
This is book 2 in Sky's series Beautiful Monsters. A beautifully dark listen that is sure to captivate if you're prepared to go into the mob / cartel world Sky has created and see the struggle for power and dominance as well as the demons that haunt these characters. Smooth flowing storyline that's told from a multi point of view. I was left wanting more and more.
As for the narration / audio - there was something off in the audio version in chpt (i think) and while I normally love a dual narrated audio - the female narrator on this came thru very robotic and difficult to listen to whereas the male narrator was the complete opposite and was very impressive with his accent, pitch and tone changes used for the multiple characters. He did a great job.
I feel that while this could be read / listened to as a stand alone, it is better when read in series order as several of these characters are introduced in book one.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Gritty, Raw & Quite Compelling
This book was a very intriguing surprise. I was totally anticipating much more Dante and Daniella but instead the author delivered a twist that presents a whole new perspective. Espi and Chloe make another very intriguing couple. I felt their story and this book had a different feel from book one. I thought there was a slightly softer edge here and a lot more emotion. I found this read quite compelling. I enjoyed the narration on this book. I have a preference for dual narration and I thought these performers delivered an excellent listening experience.

Captivating and Entertaining!
This is the second book in the Beautiful Monster Series, a Dark Romance. This is a Series of interconnected stories, with intertwined characters. I loved Espi and Chloe’s story. Chloe is such a wonderful character, strong, smart, and capable. Espi is handsome, dark, protective, and caring. I loved to see again the characters from Crescendo. The storyline is captivating, and entertaining. Impossible to put it down. Bree Elaine and Patrick Morgan did a fantastic job with the narration. If you like Dark Romance, this Series is definitely for you!
