The Forever One

Dark Mafia Romance (The Escort, Book 6)

By: N.O. One

Narrated by: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Sean Masters, Kalestra Spencer

Hell hath no fury like a scorned mafia queen.

They couldn't have my blood so they went after my husband.

Their mistake was underestimating me.

Controlled by my past and the responsibilities my true heritage bestows on me, I’m driven to make decisions I never once considered.

In the midst of chaos, families either come together or choose deceit, allowing the tragedies born from the war to scar us beyond recognition.

But we stand together, fight together, and seek out our truths together as one.

I have lost.

I have suffered.

I have grown.

I am finally allowing this love I once rejected to fill my heart with brand new possibilities, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep us whole.

Forever.

River is a BA!!

5⭐️ 3.5🌶️ 5🎧

River is a bad a$$!! So much action and suspense packed into this last book! Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was proved so wrong. I laughed, I was on the edge of my seat, I cried. River’s armature Mafia Queen internal monologue had me laughing so hard! I can’t say anything else without spoiling it. It was so good!

Kallestra Spencer (River), Sean Masters (Marco), and Ryan Lee Dunlap (Enzo) narrate this book! I loved having Ryan back in the series! I am enjoying the heck out of listening experience!

Love it!

The conclusion to River's story. This was really good and entertaining. It continues from #5. This is not a standalone all 5 are linked together. There is a lot going on in this one that makes it interesting. You have mafia business, truths revealed and discovered, deaths, birth, family issues, backstabbing, lies, punishments, tragedy. I listened and enjoyed it.

Happy Ever After

This was such a perfect ending to this series. River was such a freaking bad a m f and I absolutely adored her journey to forever.

This one had some twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and the ending was so bittersweet as we lost some friends but got a new baby to enjoy. My emotions were alllll over the place for sure.

The audio was fantastic. Sean Masters, Kalestra Spencer and Ryan Lee Dunlap all did a wonderful job with these characters and I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Pink Flamingo for the advanced copy!

Poignant and Fitting

This is the final installment of the series and boy, is it a doozy. I'll be upfront about the darkness, it is 100% present. Some things are predictable and expected based on where the last book left off and the general tone of the series, but there are a couple of things that really get to me. They don't gut me, but it is close.

I do love River Rose Fox Volpe Mancini's spirit. She is fierce and a survivor through and through. Her pairing with Marco Mancini works in unexpected ways. I love them together!

Please do check your triggers for this series. There's light and humor, but there's also frequent, very descriptive dark elements that you should beware.

This series really needs to be read in order. The storyline builds with every book and references to earlier ones are often. Also, this is more HFN than HEA with the door being left open for spinoff series.

I listened to the book before reading along with the audio. The narrators, Sean Masters, Ryan Lee Dunlap, and Kallestra / Kalestra Spencer (I cannot definitively confirm which spelling is correct, and it's driving me crazy), continue to do a great job with this series. 🎧🩷🎧

i really enjoyed this series and had a great time in this book as well. the whole thing was written almost like an epilogue, so i do wish that certain moments were expanded on a bit instead of the time skips. Overall i was happy to see all the loose ends tied up and also a bit heartbroken by a few specific points. I definitely cannot wait to continue reading more books by N.O. One! what great authors and addicting stories they have
