Scorned Beauty

Scorned Fate, Book 5

By: Victoria Paige

Narrated by: Rose Dioro, C. J. Grey

She can never be seen on his arm in public because she's the hired help.

Sloane Scott has a reputation. She's the go-to cleaner for the New York mafia. Discretion is unspoken if not written in blood. No sleeping with my clients is her unwritten rule, so why the hell does the arrogant boss of the De Lucci crime family play a starring role in her steamy dreams?

Dominic "Dom" De Lucci has a reputation. He's the scion of two prominent crime families and New York's most eligible villain. Sought after for alliances, he has his pick in an arranged marriage. But no one makes his blood simmer more than the off-limits beautiful cleaner for the mob with a voice made for seduction and a body made for sin.

When their attraction sparks to explosive levels, they give in and agree to certain rules. What they have isn't a relationship. No dating. No giving gifts. No drama. And, especially, no falling in love. Just sex exclusively with each other.

So when Dom takes another woman as his "fake" date to formal events, Sloane understands because it helps cover their affair. And their arrangement works for a while, until the most important rule is broken.

I admit that I'm not too sure if it's the story that's just THAT good or the narrators, but Rose Dioro and CJ Grey have definitely joined my list of narrator favorites!

The chemistry between these two narrators was brilliant. They did an absolute stellar job of 𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙍𝙉𝙀𝘿 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝙐𝙏𝙔 and portrayed the main characters (as well as secondary characters) emotions & personalities perfectly. Although I had previously read & loved the book, Rose Dioro and CJ Grey made me see it in a different light.

The story, of my gosh, THE STORY 😍 … I̶f̶ no, when you listen to this audiobook, expect 𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙍𝙉𝙀𝘿 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝙐𝙏𝙔 to wreck havoc on your emotions, I know it did with me. There's action, humor, steam, loss and even some mystery.

There's this certain scene where the hero, Dom, acts in true “mafia style” that had me doing an evil grin because come on, who doesn't love it when the hero "unalives" someone who dares to hurt his woman. 😈 But on the other hand Dom, being the typical alpha male, f#ks up and the heroine ~ Sloane ~ had him working for forgiveness. 😏

Well worth it audiobook! I highly recommend.
