Story
I needed a reset, so my brother hooked me up with a job with his best friend as my boss. Enter billionaire, Cody Blaise. He has eyes that strip me bare and a touch that's devilishly rare. He needs to be married to get his inheritance and I want to ditch my toxic friends, so we make a deal: I pretend to be his wife, fake my emotions and convince his grandfather that we're a real couple. Simple in theory. We're certainly convincing. Too convincing.

Story
As the receptionist at a cozy B&B nestled in the mountains, I'd heard rumors that the owner is a mysterious billionaire. Turns out he's Alex Mason, the hot football player from high school whom I couldn’t get over. He appears out of nowhere, my teen-dream in the flesh. Big muscles, slick tattoos, and a beard that could make a nun rethink her life choices. He demands a room. But it's spring break, and we're fully booked. With the 'No Vacancy' sign burning bright, I've got no choice but to offer to share mine. Just for one night, he assures.

My enemy had seen me naked. He was holding the proof right before my eyes, and my stomach lurched sickeningly. "Seems like you had too much to drink last night," he remarked in that condescending tone he always used with me. I looked up at him as he stood watching me from the doorway with his attitude of superiority. In that moment of weakness, I actually tried to plead with him. "Please. I've never done anything to you." "Begging me on your knees. That's a good start."

A year ago, I reluctantly erased my true other half’s memories of our time together. She said that if we were truly meant to be married, our souls would find each other again. Now, I’ve illegally traveled to Earth and have found her alone in a secluded cabin. I only have a few days to convince her of who I am to her. But the odds are against me. She didn’t recognize me on sight, no longer has a translator, and sees me as an alien. But I refuse to give up. There is no one else for me in the galaxy.

Story
It’s been said that you can’t love two men at the same time. You can’t split your heart, soul, and body in half. But I’m here to tell you, you can. Dylan Cole is like ice, sharp and unpredictable, the thunder inside a tumultuous storm. Smith Reid is warmth, soft and gentle, perfect like a sunny day. Both are mine. But I can have only one. There are two sides to this tale. I'm here to tell you mine. If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Savva is a filthy bratva beast, as cruel as he is charming and as brutal as he is gorgeous. When I took over my late father's biker bar, I also took over the payments he was making to Savva, the leader of a powerful mafia family operating on the edge of Las Vegas. But Savva couldn't be satisfied with money alone. He wanted more. He spilled into my life like a dark, inescapable shadow, stealing my dignity and drowning me in his sin. But his twisted promises and dark desires aren't enough to convince me to fall for him. Neither are his whiskey kisses and his iron abs.

After what happened to me five years ago, I don’t trust easily, if at all. Women and old men on their deathbeds? Bee’s knees, no problem. Outside of that, my walls are up. They are high, made of steel, and I will defend them at all costs. I am here to do a job. Nothing more. Jackson Rowe sees through my walls, though, and I don’t like it. Until I do. But what he doesn’t know is I see through his, too.

Gwen and Bobby
This is a case of an arranged marriage. Their parents promised their infant daughter to marry another’s son to settle a debt. She is being treated as a pawn, and her own wishes do not matter. I bothered me she was not resistant to this scheme, more outraged. Bobby is a womanizer, but needs to settle down with one women to start a family. Eventually they realize they are growing to love each other, and they have a HEA. Despite my issues with the story line, it was well written and interesting. The narration was well done. I would be interested in more works by this author. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This is the first book in the Chicago Mafia Vows series. It’s an arranged marriage between Bobby and Gwen. It’s dark and intense. He was hard to like at first and hard to connect with. It’s an engaging story and I enjoyed it.

Overall engaging and enjoyable
The build up between the MFC and MMC was perfect. A few of the sex scenes felt rushed but most of them were overall satisfying. I enjoyed the mafia aspects balanced with the relationship plot. The twist of character betrayal was believable but felt a bit rushed. I would've enjoyed a more drawn out version of that storyline. I enjoyed the story and would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a mafia romance.

Mafia Romance
Gwen is promised to Bobby the Capo of the Chicago mafia as payment. Bobby is ruthless and demands respect from everyone including Gwen. Gwen on the other hand is determined to stand up for herself and not let Bobby push her around. The story is full of action, drama, and kidnapping or two.
The narrator is hard to get used to at first. Her voice changing for Bobbys parts sounds unsettling.

Steamy Mafia Romance
This is the first book in the Chicago Mafia Vows Series, a Mafia Romance. Gwen and Bobby's mafia arranged marriage romance is entertaining, and passionate, filled with banter, lust, humor, danger, and twists and turns. Gwen is naive, and sassy. Bobby is enigmatic, womanizer, powerful, and protective. The world building is intriguing. The supporting characters are intriguing. Kathy Handrock did a good job bringing this story to life.

Mafia Arranged Marriage
This is a new to me author and I overall enjoyed this mafia arranged marriage story. I just struggled a bit with the narration. I feel it could have been so much better with dual narration. The characters and storyline is well written. I liked the chemistry between Gwen and Bobby and their journey to Bobby falling in love with his promised bride.

Promised at Birth!
I think this is one of these stories I probably would have enjoyed more reading than listening too. The narration really took away from the story. The narration at times sounded like the reader was in a tunnel, or can, and often times sounded robotic. The narration of Bobby did not fit the characters at all. The narration really detracted from the storyline and characters. Bobby is all alpha and really need a male as a narrator for his character to come alive. The story is about Gwen, Bobby and an arranged marriage. The story does contain some possible triggers. Gwen is the daughter of a very wealthy and successful real estate investor. She has also been promised in marriage to Bobby, the fierce and feared Capo of the Chicago mafia. The story begins with Gwen being kidnapped and manhandled by her captors. She is rescued by Bobby who just finds out that he is to marry her. She is innocent and sheltered. He is a complete man whore and proclaims from the beginning he will never be faithful. I could not stand him at first. I really like to see him grow, develop and really fall in love with Gwen. This story is good with danger, suspense, violence, passion, family, mafia, betrayal, love and much more. Intriguing and addictive read but not so crazy about the narration.
