Publisher's summary

Nikita Ravenov

It was supposed to be a simple job: Tail the Italian for an evening, see if he was up to anything shady, and report back to the Bratva.

But I didn’t expect him to go into gay bars. Is someone trying to out me to the Bratva? Am I being set up?

And what the hell do I do, now that my mark knows I’m following him?

Lorenzo Ferrari

It’s insulting, really. My organization wants to do business with the Russians, but they’re putting tails on me? That’s just bad manners.

But when that tail gets a beating from his own and for failing to tell them everything he knows about me, I know something is up.

Now, we’re both in way over our heads. Our only hope is working together.

And even then, I’m not so sure we’re getting out of this.

Content warnings include drug use, active addiction, graphic violence, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse.

Mafia MM Romance Enemies to Lovers

A standalone MM thriller novel about two members of opposing mafia groups, who end up working together when they find themselves in a pickle. They first meet with Nikita tailing Lorenzo to get dirt on him before a business deal with Nikita’s boss, but when Lorenzo confronts him in the bathroom of a gay club for clearly tailing him, Nikita decides to seduce him to throw him off the scent that Nikita followed him.

More serious than the other collaborations I’ve read or listened to by this duo, I prefer the funnier Hitman vs Hitman but this was great as well. The lead characters have chemistry, and are interesting and likable. there’s some humor and banter, and plenty of twists and turns. A couple mature scenes, also has active addiction and drug use as a significant story.

Listened on Audible, Michael Ferraiuolo did a fantastic job narrating as always.

Entertaining and over the top

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, it definitely requires a suspension of disbelief, but I doubt I would’ve liked a super realistic mafia story.

Really good

Insta Love. Great narration, Michael Ferraiuolo always brings life and character to the books he performs. The writing is outstanding and created a story worth listening to. It's a really good book and well worth the credit and your time to listen.

Absolutely lovely

LA Witt plus Michael Ferraiuolo is a win no matter how you look at it. I was hooked into the story more than I thought I’d be. I worried it may be too dark with all the heavy warnings and overall mob content, but I was wrong. It was fun, engaging, sweet, funny, and full of action. Turns out, I’m a sucker for Ferraiuolo’s Russian accent, as well.

finally!

I read this book on Kindle when it was first released a few months ago, and I kept hoping that it would be recorded and that the narrator would be Michael. I'm not sure how accurate his Russian accent is, but compared to some narrators, his accents are fairly believable. The story is suspensful and the plot moves quite quickly. Is it a great piece of literature? no, but it is entertaining with just the right amount of angst and drama. If you are looking for a book filled with hot sex scenes, this might not be the one you want. There are a few, but LA has written books with allot more sex scenes than this one. The ending was maybe a bit rushed, and I felt that it could have been a bit longer, but still a very good read.

enjoyed it - solid 4 stars

Would I listen to it again: yes ✔
Did the story keep me engaged: yes ✔
Was I invested in the characters: yes ✔

📖 Story comment: good pace, well developed characters, entertaining story.
I enjoy a Marfia story where you know one of the MC's deep down has a heart of gold.

🎧 Narrator comment: Michael Ferraiuolo is a master story teller. His performance brings life to every scene, he suits the characters, has wonderful pacing, good cadence, inflections and intonations and pulls all the emotions out of the story. I don't know how accurate his Russian accent is, but I was impressed with it - it worked for me, felt believable, was consistent throughout the entire book and I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

I should have known better

Not for me. I should have known by the reviews and description I wouldn’t like it. It made me feel dirty listening to it. Not sure why. Too much violence.
