Publisher's summary

Luce O’Brien is the only daughter of an Irish mob boss. She always knew her virginity would be sold to the highest bidder, and had prepared herself for that eventuality. However, she was not prepared for the monster she was promised to, nor the dark prince who would turn her life upside down.

When all is lost and her crew is at stake, Lucinda O’Brien must fulfill her duty to her family. She is given to an Irish boss in Harlem to marry—his virgin bride.

Luce’s future husband, the Butcher, is cruel and driven by greed. His tastes in relationships are not what Luce expected from a wife and husband arrangement. He doesn’t want a partner. He wants a pet.

Santino Buratti is next in line to become the Don of the Buratti family. His father wants Santino to find a wife and take over the family business. But Santino refuses to marry.

After a chance meeting, Santino is intrigued by the beautiful redhead with the sad eyes. Bit by bit, his obsession for her grows. By the time they meet again, he knows he can’t let her go.

When Santino discovers Luce has been promised to someone else, and she later becomes a threat to him, Santino does what he does best. He takes charge and changes Luce’s destiny forever.

Big bad wolf

Mafia suspense dark story gives you an insight to the magi and fractions within. The story draws you in and keeps you listening for what will happen next. Glad I don’t have to wait for book 2!

The family sacrifice.

Big Bad Wolf Book 1 by Diana A. Hicks.

Thanks Diana Hicks for the audio credit.

Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity
Kidnapping
Mafia

When you become the bargain to end the war; the sacrifice for the family. How far will a daughter go to protect them?

Great main characters and a lot of supporting cast. Fast paced. A little bit of spice. Easy and fun read.

“He had the ability to make all the bad in my life go away.”

Description:

To save my family, I agreed to marry the butcher.

But then, I met Santino Buratti, the man who takes what he wants without asking—ruthless, powerful, and beautiful.

Nothing could have prepared me for the monster who bought me. 
Nor the dark prince who saved me.

I loved this book!

I loved this book!! Luce and Santino was sexy and had amazing chemistry. Their story is intriguing with twists and turns, danger, action and drama. The suspense was addicting and I can't wait to read/listen to the next one.

I thought the narrators did a great job of bringing the story to life.

big bad wolf

I loved the story overall. I struggled a bit with the audio. I would have preferred the narrators to stick with only male and female lines instead of performing both. it was a confusing at times with the male voice doing female lines and vice versa.

So good!

I really enjoyed this story! I loved that they are from rival families and didn’t know each other the first time they met. I can’t wait to see what happens in book two!

The narrators did a great job. I really enjoyed how they told the story.

Luce and Santino

Kingpins daughter and a 2nd in charge of a mob. Opposite side. So many questions and very little answers, that's the next book. This one is mostly background and the plot of the duet. Sexy and suspenseful!

HOLY CRAP

The hold this book had on me!!!! I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I loved everything about it. Santino and Lucindas story is a bit complicated. she supposed to marry some sick old man to help her family and Santinos people are the threat her family needs protection from. It was insta last between them, which I honestly prefer over insta love bc it gave it time for them to actually get to know each other and develop feelings for one another. this book does end in a cliffhanger (gonna start the second book after I finish this review 😩).
I always found the saying 'be a good girl' until Santino was the one sayin
