Eloise

I ran away from one organized crime household and found myself tripping right into another one. My father, the head of the Italian Mafia, is a bad man. He wants to marry me off to some creep I don’t know, but rather than succumb to that nightmare, I fled to Vegas, hoping to find a job and blend in. In the first week, I’ve been stolen from and beat up, and I have no money to my name, but I find a job as a bartender at RAPTURE, an upscale—okay, super bougie—adult club just off the Strip. I can’t believe my luck. I love this job, and I’m intrigued by the mysterious tattooed man with ice-blue eyes who always seems to be pinned to me. Things are looking up.

Until my father’s men find me.

Rome

I’m a ruthless, hard, dangerous man who takes care of his men and employees, and I run the city of Vegas with my brothers. That’s all I need. Until a gorgeous, raven-haired beauty comes walking into my club and sets my soul on fire.

I’m obsessed with her. Consumed by her. I need her in a way that I’ve never needed anyone or anything before, aside from the power and control that I’ve worked so hard for. She doesn’t know it, but I own the club that employs her, and I follow her back to the seedy motel she’s living in after her shift to make sure she’s safe. She’s mine.

Suddenly, someone is out to hurt my Firefly, and that means that they’ll meet a painful, bloody end. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. To keep her with me.

Forever.

Fabulous narration

I downloaded this on release day as soon as I heard Kristen Proby was stepping into dark romance under her pen name Natalie Kane and wow did she deliver. Sinful King is an instant obsession with a strong, fiery FMC and a swoony, dominant, unapologetically possessive MMC. Avery Caris & Teddy Hamilton are fantastic! I love Teddy in darker roles! An impressive debut and I cannot wait for more in this series.

storyline was 👌🏼

I loved the story and the male narrators voice. It fit perfectly! Great writing! Kept me wanting more!

totally what I needed

it's been a long time since I've listened to Mafia I'm always a little leery because if it goes too dark I'm not a real real dark dark person I don't mind a little dark but if it gets too bad then I can't handle it but this was perfect. now I will say that the parts were there brutalizing people isn't the best but it didn't bother me I was okay with it. but the best part the part that I really really needed and wanted was the part that he was so Alpha in control dominant it was every bit what I needed and wanted. both narrators did an awesome job with this. Which Always surprises me because for whatever reason Ted To me comes off as a fuzzy bear But he played Alpha very well. I really enjoyed the story her running away there was things I would have liked to see happen maybe her be a little bit more stronger but she she did come out in the end and and end up being a strong character I would have like I said like her little stronger but that's okay she the author had a vision and she did it well. in fact I've never listened to this author before so this was my first time and I will say that I marked all the other books so that I get an alert when they come out because I definitely want to listen to the rest of these guys these four guys the kings of Vegas they I can't wait I love those side characters so much and some of them are so deprived it'll be very interesting. don't get me wrong Rome was touch notch man I loved him. I definitely would recommend this story to anyone.

Runaway Mafia Princess

Loved this story so much. It was so sweet Rome’s obsession for his Firefly is what we all want. It really wasn’t too dark but does have some dark elements- check triggers if you got them. The spice is steamy and fun between MCs, again gets dark with some side characters. This is book 1 and idk when book 2 is coming but definitely looking forward to it.

Enjoyable

Great narration. I enjoyed the story. It was fast paced and was entertaining. Alpha hero with strong heroine that is trying to move out on her own.
