Sins and Secrets

Mobster's Obsession, Book 2

By: Kira Cole

Narrated by: Melissa Moran, Curt Bonnem

Desperation sends me to the auction where the only thing I have to sell… is myself.

The Marchetti Mafia runs this town. My dad has been under their thumb for years as the Boss's personal consigliere. After facing death multiple times, he's now hanging on by a mere thread, and I worry the next injury will be his last. They always say once you join the family you're in it for life. Yet there may be a way out, but it'll cost me more than I ever imagined.

I join a rival's auction hoping to earn enough money to buy my father's freedom. I never expected my buyer to be none other than Alessio Marchetti himself, the Marchetti Mafia Boss, and my father's best friend. Now, instead of freedom, I find myself sucked further into the world I desperately want to escape from.

Every fiber of my being tells me to run, but I don't get the chance because Alessio whisks me and my father away to his estate. He provides my father with the best medical care, but I don't appreciate being kept under lock and key even if I'm being paid for it. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize his grumpy tattooed exterior is barely the tip of the iceberg of who Alessio really is. My world is turned upside down when I find myself happiest wrapped in his embrace and craving his touch.

When a rival kidnaps me, my only hope is the man I've been desperate to escape from… Alessio.

Sins and Secrets is a spicy, dark mafia age-gap, romance that will make you root for the bad guy. It's the second book in Mobster's Obsession series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. No cheating. HEA guaranteed!

Not Kira's best

The book was ok, but usually her books are a 5/5 for me. I kept thinking I fell asleep and missed chunks of dialogue and would go back and check multiple times and there wasn't anything I missed, just gaps in the story. I loved that there was a strong FMC, but the male narration was problematic for me. I'll never understand why they have female narrators voice male parts and vice versa- you're already paying two voice actors, just have them read the male and female parts, don't also have them immitate their M/F opposite. Usually I can get over it partway through and forget it, but I had a hard time here and the male had to voice multiple males and they started blurring. For example, the Columbian just completely lost his accent from one narrator and not the other (though that one got less noticeable too). Not terrible, but not her best
