Vicious Hearts

Dark Hearts, Book 2

By: Jagger Cole

Narrated by: Ryan West, Sophie Daniels

I'll do anything to save my family. Even if it means marrying the devil himself.

Cillian Kildare is a monster wrapped in charm and sophistication. A gorgeous psychopath with venom in his veins and sadism driving every beat of his cold, black heart.

When I'm sent to kill the vicious Irish mafia boss to settle a debt from my past, it's supposed to be simple. It becomes a lot less simple when Cillian catches me and carves his way into my darkest secrets and most deviant desires.

Now, captured and bound as his prisoner plaything, he has new plans for me: an unholy marriage of inconvenience. He'll protect me from my past. And for six months, I'll give him my body, my soul, and my submission—willing or otherwise.

It's just physical. A contract and nothing more. But the devil, as they say, is in the details. And if I'm not careful, this devil might soon break his way into something else—my heart.

Vicious Hearts is a standalone dark mafia, arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers age-gap romance with a smart, untamable heroine and an ultra possessive literal psychopath of a hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. This is a dark romance with adult themes for mature listeners. No cliffhanger. HEA included.

Wonderful Dark Romance

With every book that I read of Jagger's, I fall more in love with his writing. I get dropping into a world and just want more of it. I love the way that the story has some dark elements, and it is not sweet. I sometimes need a break from the sweet romance. And Jagger delivers every time!

Ryan West and Sophie Daniels slay this story on the delivery! I couldn't stop listening. The way that Ryan has a deep and a bit darker tone to his voice made him perfect for this role.
I love this story and audio!

Light in the Darkness

Cillian finds his match in the most unlikely woman, Una, daughter of one of his family's greatest enemies, Seamus O'Conor. These two both have so much darkness in them but they bring a piece and light to each other. I have been waiting for Cillian's book and this story does not disappoint. Phenomenal performance.

Jagger can do no wrong

Everything about this was fantastic from the suspenseful yet fun plot line to the delicious narration! I absolutely loved it!

Another great addition to the Dark Hearts series! I loved this one so much! To be honest I was a bit sad that the next book was Cillian’s. That sadness did not last long at all once I started this one!

I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to put it down! There was never a dull moment! It was quite the roller coaster of a ride! I would definitely recommend reading the first book before you start this one.

If you love audios I highly recommend this one! The narrators did such an amazing job of making these characters jump off the page!
