A Love Most Fatal

Morelli Family, Book 1

By: Kath Richards

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Kelsey Navarro Foster

Since she was a girl, Vanessa Morelli has trained for two titles: CEO of Morelli Construction, and more importantly, head of the Morelli Crime Family. So far, it's going well; business is booming, and the city's criminals fear and respect her. Or at least she thought they did, before shipments start disappearing, construction sites blow up, and—most annoying of all—the older women lay on the pressure for her to marry and make an heir.

When an ill-advised date with her Godson's math teacher goes horribly wrong, she brings him under her protection while she figures out who's sabotaging her operation.

Nate, the goofy, dog-owning teacher, wants nothing to do with her after learning that she's the queen of organized crime in the city. But when the choice is life or death, he chooses to accept her help and move in for the summer. Bored out of his mind, though, Nate offers his services on the hunt for a suitable husband, interviewing every eligible mafioso in Massachusetts.

But when more sparks begin to fly between her and Nate instead of her and her suitors . . . she starts to wonder. Can they work and live together, without falling for each other along the way?

Contains mature themes.

Mafia Rom Com

I absolutely LOVED this story. I immersion read, and I felt like the narrators were spot on with voice, pace, inflection, and tone. I loved the fact that the FMC was the bada$$ boss babe, and the MMC was kind of nerdy and turned into a golden retriever for his black cat . Hands down, this was one of my top five favorite stories of the year. It has top tier banter, a bit of slow burn, hot spice, and action. I LOVED IT! Can’t wait to read book 2!

A smile of a book

Enjoyed every second. I didn’t want it to end and I just wanted to hear more of the banter and convos between Nate and Nessa!!

Long time reader, first time listener

This is my third (????) time reading A Love Most Fatal, but my first time listening to the audiobook. I am an audiobook FIEND and the performance from these awesome voice actors is incredible. The book itself is amazing and I love having one more way to consume it! Kath Richards is a force to be reckoned with! BIG FAN!!!!

Great story and Narrators

I really enjoyed this story and the narrators did a great job! I would recommend to anyone interested in a mafia romance, with a strong female main character.

Great intro into this genre

I’ve read a decent amount of the fantasy style novels but this is the first real world mafia. It was very well written that kept me engaged and wanting to keep going. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
