Handsome Devil

A Dark Mafia Romance (Forbidden Love, Book 3)

By: L.J. Shen

Narrated by: Troy Duran, Leila Allarie

I made a deal with the devil to save my mother…

But is it really hell if I love the way it burns

Gia

The monster from my nightmares crawled into reality, masquerading as my boss.

Tatum Blackthorn is Lucifer personified.

When he discovers my weakness, he makes me an offer I cannot refuse, and I become his wife.

I always knew he was depraved, but as his twisted vendetta unfurls, so does my darkest secret.

Now we're both the targets of very nefarious people…

They're about to find out no one matches my husband's wrath.

Tate

I am a man of few pleasures, one of which is destroying Gia Bennett.

Slowly. Patiently. Systematically.

My fixation with my secretary has an origin but no limits.

When my revenge spree sparks into an all-consuming Mafia war, I expect nothing but a good time.

After all, death cannot come too soon.

Alas, it isn't just my life that's on the line now.

In this chess game, the king protects the queen.

Even at the price of burning down his entire empire.

Handsome Devil is a mafia-themed, enemies-to-lovers standalone romance. It deals with sensitive subject matters and includes violence, gore and explicit scenes some might find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

Perfect narration!

The duet and narrators were excellent. Each book in the trilogy got better. This was the best out of the 3! Loved these 2 characters and the storyline so much.

Banter, Spice and everything nice

LJ Shen never fails to write a story that is filled with with dry humor and banter between her characters. I love how her male characters always have a love not really hate relationship with each other but are more often than not brothers to the core. Tate was such a perfect Morally gray MMC who was broken yet did so much to put others back together. Gia I found grating at times but it is what built her story. I didn’t read the other 2 in the series and I didn’t feel at all lost. Might have had an even better connection to Tate but this was truly perfect. Leila was new to me but I loved how she portrayed her characters and switched between accents. Troy is always a pleasure to listen to and brings his characters to life and their distinct personalities.

darkest of the series

Tate is a cold, heartless jerk... except when it comes to his PA Gia.

Great audio performances by the narrators.

Tate's background... wow

the complexity of the main character and how she not only accepts him but also makes him feel safe....Bravo

2-6-2

I loved Tate and Gia. This was my first L.J. Shen book and it turned out to be awesome! Troy Duran was fantastic as usual, (can he be any other way?) as was Leila Allarie. A very worthy listen.
