Summary

I never imagined the protector I longed for would be a mob boss who demanded complete control. I shouldn’t have gone to Lucien’s office.

Once I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t leave. He commanded me to kneel. Beg. Obey. I couldn’t help myself. One taste, and I craved more. 

Lucien vowed to protect me from his enemies.... But who’s going to protect my heart from him?

This MM mafia romance is the first book in the Marchesi family series.

Amazing Performance by Michael Dean

This is one of the best performances I've heard from Michael Dean. Dean comes up with an excellent array of difference voices and accents for this varied cast of characters. He also infuses a wealth of emotion, between Lucien's ruthless dominance and Peter's timid innocence, Michael Dean does a wonderful job.

Silvia Violet sets up her new mob family crime series, and introduces the characters. The love scenes between Lucien and Peter contain BDSM, DD, and S&M. There's also violence on page.

Absolutely brilliant

Michael Dean was amazing and made the story come alive.

Lucien was intense and the narrator captured that perfectly. Lucien and Peter were explosive together and I could happily get lost in them.

Fantastic book.

Great Book. Wonderful Narration.

I absolutely loved Silvia Violet's Lucien when I read it, so I was especially excited to listen to the audio and I love how great a job Michael Dean did of bringing the characters to life.

The strength in this book is its characters. the plot is fast paced and really interesting, and the book is really well written - but I really loved the characters. Dean did an amazing job of embodying the characters exactly how I pictured them. Lucien is rough and deep, his voice at times sinfully dark and smooth. I swear at points he almost growls. Peter is definitely quieter and shy, and a great foil to Lucien. This book has a fairly large secondary cast, and I found them unique and not too generic, while not distracting from the main cast.

a great book with wonderful narration - what more do you need?

Peter and the Mob Boss

I love this new trilogy by Silvia Violet and with the guys being brought to life by Michael Pauley, this was an entertaining listen for me. I do like stories about domination and submission, and this was a sweet but exciting tale of a young man who gets caught up in a cousin's machinations and ends up becoming the paramour of Mob boss, Lucien Marchesi. Highly recommended dark contemporary MM romance.

Mafia romance

Great start to this mafia series.
Lucien is the big bad wolf who's oh so eager to corrupt sweet, naive Peter.
Peter is more than willing to submit to Lucian's dark desires.
Sizzling chemistry between the main characters and of course Michael Dean's voice was just sexiness personified.

Loved

I loved listening this book and following Lucien and Peter. It has some steamy scenes while also having some dark ones. But I liked that Lucien learned that he could love Peter. I enjoyed the chemistry between them. The narrator did a brilliant job bringing the different characters to life.

Outstanding

The Narrator of this book had to bring to life some very strong characters and Michael Dean did just that, he took a story that on it leaves a person blown away and brought that world to the listener immersing them within it and creating a breathtaking work of art.

A well written mafia romance

Lucien Marchesi is head of the family, the Marchesi crime family that is. He’s in charge, knows what he wants and how he’s going to go about it. Peter kind of stumbles in to this, completely unknowing about what’s going on, and finds that Lucien decides what he wants is Peter and he knows precisely how he’s going to get him.

I’m 50/50 on mafia stories. I’ve read/listened to some good ones and some equally as bad ones. Thankfully Lucien is one of the good ones. I loved the D/s dynamics and relationship between the men - it worked wonderfully.

Narration wise, Michael Dean always pulls out all stops and he did no different with Lucien. I’m excited to listen to more from this series.
