The Filthy One

Dark Mafia Romance (The Escort, Book 3)

By: N.O. One

Narrated by: Sean Masters, Kallestra Spencer

Control is only an illusion.

A lie.

Just like me.

The universe has a way of leading us to where we’re meant to be, showing us what we’re meant to do.

But karma has screwed up somewhere, because I’m sure I don’t deserve her wrath.

Facing the possibility of losing the two most important men in my world, I bury myself in my work.

The filthy one is my new priority, my escape from the reality that is my personal life.

With this new opportunity, hope for my future blossoms.

Until I’m consumed by my choices, bound to decisions which are no longer my own.

By the time I see the warning signs, I’m afraid it may be too late.

Love it!

The narrators did a good job.

This is the third book of her story. Can't be read as a standalone. In this one she is introduced to Marco who I would say hires her to be his fake bride but she really didn't have a choice. This one ends in a cliffhanger still with Marco. Kai and Nathaniel make an appearance in this one. Marco helps her get redemption from what happened to her in the other story. It seems there is more than Nathaniel than him being the ER doctor. Can't wait to read/listen to the rest of this story.

Dark Dirty Fun

4 ⭐ 4 🌶️ 5 🎧

This series is seriously just full of dark, delicious fun. I'm loving this journey as River works her way through these men and seems to be inching towards some serious suspense.

I loved Marco. That man was unhinged and over the top and part of me is pretty sad he's not endgame because who doesn't love a made man willing to go to any lengths to protect you and make you feel safe? And his sister was amazing; I really hope she can keep that relationship...

The audio was fantastic. Sean Masters and Kallestra Spencer were both fantastic and I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Pink Flamingo for the advanced copy!

Loving this journey!

I am loving River/Rose's journey as she learns more about herself and what she wants out of life! It is dark, dirty and full of twists and turns. It has been so much fun guessing what will happen and who will be her forever!

I loved Marco and Rose's dynamic; it was so wonderfully filthy. Marco was very protective, and we love that for them. His nickname, Delcezza, is so….sweet! lol.

Kallestra Spencer and Sean Masters narrate this book, and they did such an amazing job bringing these characters to life!

This is the beginning of Marco and River's rocky, volatile, and explosive relationship

Full disclosure- I wasn't sure about the series, and probably wouldn't have gone down the rabbit hole if it wasn't for the luck of being gifted Book 4. I was drawn in by that book, becoming totally engrossed in the complicated trials and tribulations of River, and I had to come back and listen to earlier stories in the series to get more background I so desperately needed. This is the beginning of Marco and River's rocky, volatile, and explosive relationship. I still had so many questions as I listened, as there is clearly a lot going on behind the scenes and many secrets to be uncovered. Marco is a bossy possessive alpha who I would hate in real life, but is so entertaining in this story. And he definitely has his kinks and such- so if those are hard passes for you in your books be forewarned. But despite his control issues he is dedicated to River, even if in a complicated way and has sweet and tender moments that are surprising. I mean, he tells her 'you stand beside me, not behind me' proving he accepts her strength, even if it is questionable at times given his actions. This one had some real heartbreaking and emotional moments. Also violence plays a part-it is a mafia book after all. Narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life.

It just gets better

Narration: five star perfection, I could listen all day. And I did.

Story: ERMAGERD Love! Secrets, tension, more secrets, danger, betrayal, a funeral and a wedding. Like... it'll make your head spin in the most lovely way. Absolutely loving our new man. I'm a sucker for an anti-hero and he's definitely one. I'm looking forward to learning more about the things HE is hiding and seeing how River handles it when it all comes out.

This series is serious about it's cliffhangers... thankfully, the next one is out so I can continue to binge...
