About this listen
He'd kidnapped her to protect her. To protect his son. To reclaim what is his. But now, she's a pawn in a dangerous mafia war that won't end until his rivals take out him and his heir.
Tristan Callahan disobeyed the family when he didn't honor the arranged marriage to a rival family's princess. The transaction would have put decades of war to peace; instead, the opposing families are doubling down, and a third crime family has been dragged into the mix.
Attempts are made on Tristan's life, but the efforts to put an end to his lineage don't stop there. He's made a huge mistake, and he's not the only one who will pay the price. Narrowly escaping one danger only to face another soon leads loyalties to be questioned, but Tristan's blindsided when he discovers how deep the betrayals run.
He can't trust anyone or anything, not even his heart. But with Adriana finally coming around to see things his way, and her willingness to atone for the sins of her past, nothing can stop him from making her his queen. At least that's what he thinks, until the unthinkable happens
Fans of Elle Kennedy, Anna Huang and Lauren Asher will enjoy this spicy, dark romance!

Story
What could be more normal than celebrating a successful exam? I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. A chance to make a fresh start. I've compartmentalized my past behind multiple fortified barriers. Painful secrets that have no place here with the only two friends I have. I'm going on vacation for the first time in my life. Las Vegas, city of light and sin. I want to see it all and make wonderful memories. My name is Paige. A future is opening up for me. I know the worst is finally behind me. And I intend to make the most of it. But fate can be devious, can't it? And ...

Story
My father sold me to the Shadow King. Faerie is a completely different world than the one I'm used to. Winged creatures fly in and out of mirrors, and fantastical gardens conceal treacherous illusions. Shadows draw me in a little more for each day my magic grows, but I can't afford to let my guard down. To survive, I must play by the king's rules and protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern his seductive realm. Most of all, I must resist him. If I don't, my kingdom will fall.

Story
This is my story of how to lose a mob boss in ten days. I have a problem: I’ve been arranged to marry a monster. Run away? Good idea. Tried that. Didn’t work. Because in my family, my father makes the rules. And he says this wedding is happening. But he still has a soft spot for me, his last remaining daughter. So he offers me a deal. Take ten days. Get to know Sasha. See if you change your mind. Yeah, right. Sasha Ozerov is a beast in Brioni. He’s ruthless, flawless, utterly unconcerned with mortals like me.

After getting tangled up in Carnage business, it isn’t long before I'm tangled up in their sheets. They see is my blonde hair and sweet smile, and they want to dirty me up a little. I'm a splash of pink within the leather-clad army, standing out like a tampon in a condom factory. But it’s not my fault they underestimated me. I might like girly things, but I’m much more likely to spray you with bullets then sprinkle you with glitter. I could just tell them they have me labeled all wrong...but where’s the fun in that?

My resignation letter was rejected by my boss with his sexy, trademark smirk and an "I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract...." So, I did. And now I've realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I'm stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. Then again, I thought that was the case until he called me late last night with an emergency proposition....

As newspapers reported in the 1890s, a woman dubbed "Shakespeare" was found dead in a seedy hotel along the waterfront by Manhattan’s South Street Seaport. The chilling scene recalled for press and police alike Jack the Ripper’s victims in London. Panicked New Yorkers worked feverishly to halt that maniac’s spree from expanding across the Atlantic. The city only sighed relief after detectives abruptly arrested a traveling Algerian ex-soldier for the crime.

Suspenseful!
This was my first Clarissa Bright's book, and won't be my last. This is the first installment in the Bound by Bloodlines Series. This is a great start to the series. Tristan and Adriana's story is entertaining, action packed, and suspenseful. This is a great start to the series. Tristan is handsome, and protective. Adriana is naive, but strong, and determined. They are opposites attract. The world building is captivating. The supporting characters are intriguing. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I am looking forward to listening to Shattered Crown, the next book in the series, to know what happens next. Michael Knight did a great job bringing this story to life.

Awesome Beginning !!!
By the very talented author Clarissa Bright and the marvelous narrator Micheal Knight comes the beginning of a great series. Warring families in the mafia world. Betrayal, lies and arranged marriage all lead to a world of mistrust and deceit. The suspense keeps you glued as mistakes and betrayals escalate. I cannot recommend this audiobook high enough.

I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars overall
This was my 1st story by Clarissa Bright, and I left it wishing I had eyeball read this instead of listening to it. The story was okay, but I found it to slow at first, and then a little chaotic in the pacing as the story progressed towards the end. The narrators was also new to me, but I had a terrible time dealing with his FMC voice, and when narrating the MMC it often felt as if every word was uttered as slightly louder than a whisper. This ended on a cliffhanger, but I think I'll get my hands on a physical copy to finish the story.
