His Playground

Owning Vegas, Book 2

By: Kylie Kent

Narrated by: Patrick Zeller, Veronica Harder

Antonia
Blood. Pain. Tears. Despair. Hate. All words I associate with those around me. But it’s true what they say. You can’t choose your family. And mine? Well, I don’t think anyone would choose them.
I’m the daughter of a notorious Don. A daughter who is nothing more than a piece of meat to be used as a bargaining chip. Which is exactly what my father has done. I can either go along with his plan to marry me off to a stranger. Or I can refuse and pay for it with my life.
Love. I always thought that one was made up. A fairy tale that had no place in the real world.
People weren’t really conditioned to love. Especially not me.
But my new husband? He almost makes me believe that love is something real. Almost.

Carlo
This city is my playground. Nothing is unattainable here. Nothing except her.
You could say she’s the one who got away. But the thing is, I never actually let her go. So when the opportunity comes along, I jump on it. I offer myself up in place of my friend.
Antonia doesn’t know it yet. No one really does. But she’s always been mine.
The arrangement isn’t just for me, though. I have more than one reason to marry this woman.
She also has more than one reason to hate me. It’s why I have to do my best to win her over… before she learns the truth and tries to kill me in my sleep.

This is book 2 in the Owning Vegas Series and can be listened to as a stand-alone, however listening to book 1, His Kingdom, first will give you a better experience.

Good story

The story was good but the female voice can get so annoying. She sound like she is from the valley and has this throaty voice , if she just spoke normally it would have been more enjoyable

Story great fmc voice not so much.

Fmc voice ruined it for me. Loved Carlo ! Story was good really loved first book. Excited for the third book!

Carlo & Antonia

This was another super fast & easy read. I really enjoyed the story and all of the characters. I appreciated how Jazzy added another layer to all of the guys as they fussed over & protected her, but not because they had any experience with kids, but bcz they all remembered being a kid in the system. Then when adding in Antonia’s dad and how she was raised as a princess but lacking any real love & was told how to behave or she would be basically traff!cked all while outwardly keeping up appearances was a great juxtaposition.

Please note, compared to many, this book is very light on the darkness, but it was/is still an entertaining book. There were even some areas where I snickered bcz of the banter of then men and their bets. The dinner party bet had me cracking up. Good book, good series. Super easy read. I purchased the audio version and so far in the first 2 books, the narration has been great. I’m moving on to book 3 but am eagerly awaiting Emmanuel’s book to come to audio.
