When He Desires

A Dark Mafia Romance (Fallen God, Book 1)

By: Gabrielle Sands

Narrated by: Aiden Snow, Lucy Rivers

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain.

Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.”

I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you.

But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Which is why Rowan needs a fake girlfriend to prove he’s reformed.

Enter, me.

When my house goes up in flames, I agree to Rowan’s offer in exchange for a place to stay.

After my last brutal break up, I’ve sworn off charming, smooth-talking men.

But the way Rowan looks at me—hungry and possessive—makes my pulse race and my skin sizzle with heat.

The longer we pretend to be in love, the more real it feels.

Just when I think I’ve broken my unlucky streak, I discover Rowan’s hiding secrets. Big ones, like his real name.

Will his dark past bring us closer together? Or will it destroy everything we’ve built?~~When He Desires is book 1 of the Fallen God duet. The story continues in When He Takes.

Obsessed with this universe

I absolutely loved this book. I was anxiously awaiting Nero’s story and how he was going to start a whole new life. The storyline was engaging and entertaining. I’m not a huge fan of the female narrator. There’s just something about her voice that I just can’t vibe with. Other than that I really enjoyed this.

Fun story

Love this duet about Nero and Blake. In fact I have enjoyed all of this author’s books.

So good!

Already started the second one! The first one is more small town vibe with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks meets the new playboy in town. The get caught up in town drama and his questionable actions. Then finally we get into the mafia side of things in the last chapter of the book! So far so good!

Amazing story

I love the plot and how everyone does their own lines instead of each other. I love Nero and Blake and Sam. Can’t wait for next read to see how if everything can be better

5 STARS

Really great story and narration. I was left with my mouth wide open. Diving right into book two. I have to finish!
