No Promises, No Lies

Devils & Darlings, Book 1

By: AJ Wilding

Narrated by: Alyssa Avery, John Hartley

I took her to get revenge, but now I want so much more.

Rory Kostalova was never part of the plan. Kidnapping the Russian mafia princess was a move for control, a way to gain the upper hand in a brutal war. She was meant to break, to bend to my will like everyone else.

But Rory is different—strong, fiery, untouchable.

What started as a way to get even turns into something darker, something neither of us can control. She stirs the chaos inside me, makes me crave her in ways I shouldn't.

I took her freedom to punish her family, but now she's the one I can't let go. To save her, I'll have to break every rule, cross every line.

I'll be the one to set her free—even if it destroys me.

No Promises, No Lies is a standalone crossover mafia hockey romance with dark themes and spice. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

The story

The female narrator’s voice for the Russians and Italians makes them all sound like vampires 😂😂

new favorite book boyfriend

and the voice?! ugh.. do it. do it do it. do it. a growling Irishman saying "good girl"? forget it. im sold. absolutely his.

Ate this up!

I love the narration. Both of the narrators did an exceptional job. Overall, I love the story. It was a good time and I ate this book up.

Outstanding!

The book did not stop! I was not able to stop listening. The characters were extremely well-developed and the story line was fast-moving with just the right amount of intrigue and spice. I cannot wait until the next book in the series Devils and Darlings.

Perfect

I read this book prior to listening to it found this author on TikTok. Shelf the book because I couldn’t get through. It found other things more interesting held my attention a little bit longer. Found out it was coming out in audible. Picked it up again finished it pre-ordered the Audible when I found out who was reading loved both the readers. Decided to do a tandem finish in the day. sometimes it bugs me when it’s not exactly the same as when it’s in the book, but couldn’t put it down even though some of the spots are a little different. Cannot wait for the second book.
