Relentless

Bertoli Crime Family, Book 1

By: Lauren Landish

Narrated by: Emma Lysy

Protecting her should be easy for a man like me.

When assigned as a bodyguard for Adriana Bertoli, I knew I was in for a world of trouble. With her fiery-red hair, sparkling green eyes, milky white skin, and lush, curvaceous body, she's a damn knockout.

But she also happens to be the niece of one of the most powerful mob bosses in the Seattle-Tacoma area, Don Carlo - my boss. And he's made it clear that none of his men are to lay a finger on Adriana.

The man to have that honor would have to be perfect - a warrior and a saint. Sadly, I was no saint.

It should be an easy order to follow. After all, I owed everything to the man, and I'd be nothing without him. But every moment in Adriana's presence is pure temptation. The longer I'm with her, the more I want her, and I fear it won't be long before I betray the man who's like the father I never had.

Well done mafia crime romance

Wonderful romantic story with lots of suspense and action added in. Well laid out story and characters. Really enjoyed the characters, they felt authentic and real. I love mafia crime stories and this one was well done and believable.

Great narrator. Wonderful performance.

Couldn’t finish listening. I really tried.

To maintain my sanity, I had to quit listening to this book. The narrator’s voice was sickening!

It was okay. Something wrong with the recording .

This story would have kept my interest better if I didn't have to keep rewinding to make sure I heard things clearly.
Sounded like it was in a tunnel sometimes and other times it sounded like a tin can echo.

Think I'll request a return credit for this. Very frustrating and lost the desire to finish actually listening.

Great story...if you read it on your own.

I really enjoyed Adriana and Daniel's story. It didn't knock my socks off but it was sweet. It had an element of danger and a forbidden love that grew with Ade and Dan through childhood but if you had a mob boss know to make good on his threats giving you rules to live or die by, would you violate them? The thing I disliked most was Emma Lysy's narration. She gave the characters awful voices, making them sound like complete emotionless snobs or like they had a perpetual head cold! In the beginning there's a murder that has a big emotional impact on Adriana but you never hear it or experience it in her voice or how she carries herself. Avoid Emma's rendition of Adriana and Dan's love scenes too because she's so detached, it ruins them. Just terrible!! Emma needs to work on her emotional inflection in her voice when reading because she is not good!

"I'm Ron Burgandy?" Punctuation has meaning so don't end a non-question with a dang question in your voice! Thank goodness I had the kindle version so I could get rid of Emma's voice! I listen to A LOT of ebooks and there has only been one other narrator who is as bad as Emma Lysy.

Read this one yourself if you want to do it any justice...
