Hate Me

A Dark Crime Syndicate Romance (The Fox Family Crime Syndicate, Book 2)

By: Summer O'Toole

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas, Marnye Young

Marrying for love is for princesses in fairy tales, not princesses in the Mafia. A dark, childhood-friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance, perfect for fans of Sav R. Miller’s Souls and Sorrows and Sophie Lark’s Brutal Prince.

The war between the Fox family and the Luciano Mafia is in the past. But when the decade-long truce is broken, history threatens to repeat itself. Effie Luciano is the throwaway daughter. To her power-hungry father, her hand in marriage is her only value.

When her father gives her an unexpected opportunity, she is pitted against the one man she’s spent the last ten years avoiding: Finneas Fox.

Finneas Fox is the family’s second-born son, hardened by his father’s tragic death. The gentle and kind boy Effie nearly fell in love with before the war is now a cold, ruthless and unforgiving man.

For them, the line between hate and love is razor thin—and just as sharp.

After a heist, a murder and countless betrayals, Effie and Finn must reconcile their pasts and learn to live with their scars or risk losing everything.

Battling both themselves and each other, they discover that the deeper the darkness, the fiercer the love.

Great book

Loved this book it couldn’t stop listening. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Great Spicy book

Great narration and story! The voice actors were great! Can't wait to read the next book!

A steamy mafia romance with all the intensity, spice, and drama that comes with it

This story is perfectly narrated by Marnye Young and Gregory Salinas in duet

Effie is fiery, unpredictable, and sharp. Finn, on the other hand, is the ultimate brooding, ruthless antihero. Their relationship is clearly toxic yet magnetic, with enough steam and angst to keep you hooked.

If you love enemies-to-lovers stories with high stakes and raw emotions, this one’s worth the ride.

Please be aware that there is blackmail, revenge porn, hate sex, emotional abuse, and even torture. The spice is 🔥 (🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5) but laced with darkness—think dub-con and non-con in some scenes.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Panic attacks/disorders, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Torture, Toxic relationship, Gaslighting, and Injury/Injury detail

Great love story
