The Don

Part One of the Oath Duet (The Valentini Family, Book 1)

By: Serena Akeroyd

Narrated by: Joe Arden, CJ Bloom

Blood stains my hands, my soul, my heart, yet I’ll shed more to keep her safe.

A chance meeting brings Jen MacNeill into my life - the woman born to reign at my side. She just doesn’t know it yet. How could my lady be anything other than a silken promise taunting me with every breath she takes?

A new don reigns over Manhattan. But though I won the war, peace isn’t easily brokered. Over a decade of avenging my father’s death, I made many enemies. To each and every one, Jen’s a target. But I’ll paint New York City red before I let them harm her. I just never imagined I’d be in the line of fire first.

A heart broken by grief can feel no guilt or shame with the brutality in which vengeance is delivered. This is the first part of the Oath duet in the Valentini Family series.

All hail the Valentini empire

I loved this first book in the duet! Serena Akeroyd is a marvelous storyteller, and she weaves a story full of revenge, passion, lust, and mystery.

Joe Arden is the perfect Luciu. The heir to the Valentini empire, Luciu spent YEARS and his youth trying to gain power and avenge his family, but he certainly needs to think about his own life. I love the way her adores Jen, how he's possessive and jealous and protective. He's educated, sophisticated, charming, strategic, and ALL IN with Jen. If you read Serena Akeroyd’s Filthy Feckers series, you will meet Jen. CJ Bloom is the perfect narrator for our strong heroine. She’s been a mystery, on the periphery of the other stories, but here she gets to shine, and there is so much more to her than just a gold digger and shallow shell she presents to people. Rather, she is realistic, disarming, and totally self aware of her flaws, a true friend who puts her girls before her.

I love the beginning of Luciu’s and Jen’s story and the narrators did such a fantastic job. Any lover of mafia will enjoy this and I highly recommend!

First Audiobook

So this was my first time listening to a audio book and honestly it didn’t disappoint. I’m in the process of reading the entire crossover series between Five Points and the Satan Sinners MC, so I’m already hooked on the author, but the narration brought the story to a new level. I’m going to read the rest of the series, but I look forward to listening to another story someday based on this performance.

🤨Sicilian Don ~

Good listen 🌟 It's a small twist on the Mafia, Italian and Sicilian Don's. Strong MMC and MFC characters and supporting characters as well. Betrayal towards MFC and missing family info.
There's Drama, thriller, Heat 🔥 The undeniable pull and bond that they, MMC and MFC have. Looking forward to Book 2. Great writing & Narration 💕✨

Wonderful audiobook

To say I love The Don would be an understatement, but to experience it in audio took it next level. I can not be happier with how the narrators, Joe Arden (As Luc) & C.J. Bloom (As Jen) made these characters passion come alive. Fully recommend this audiobook!

Excellent beginning

This was an unexpected surprise in the 5 points saga, I can’t wait for the next book!
