About this listen

Some mistakes are worth repeating.

Liza knows that cocky billionaire Matt Russo is the wrong man for her. She could make a long list of reasons why she’d be smart to stay away, including his tenacious ex-girlfriend, the fact he’s trying to destroy her family, and, oh yeah, did she mention he’s a cold, distant bastard? However, after their tempestuous one-night stand, she’s finding it hard to hang on to their well-established nemesis routine.

Matt is the master of control—of his life, his emotions, his future. Except, of course, for that night he slipped up…with Liza Moretti. Reassuming his grip on the reins, he’s determined it won’t happen again. Unfortunately, doing the right thing in regards to the tempting woman fails because doing the wrong things with her—to her—are too alluring to resist.

An impromptu invitation to share his private plane leads to an unexpected break from reality and some very steamy nights in Hawaii. Until real life comes knocking and Matt is forced to face the mistakes of his past. Mistakes that could destroy the one thing he can’t control, and the one thing he can no longer live without—Liza.

To anyone who didn’t know better Matt appears strong and dominant, but he hides the emotional scars from everyone even those he is closest to. He isn’t comfortable with the strength of his feelings for Liza so after their night together he tries to distance himself from her, but fate has other ideas.

Due to the difficult relationship between their families Liza know that the last person she should develop feelings for is Matt. Not only do they have that complication to overcome but there is also the past that he refuses to acknowledge but still haunts him. Liza has never given up without a fight and she isn’t about to start now.

The chemistry between Matt and Liza was never in question but they take us on quite the emotional rollercoaster as learning that they were exactly what the other needed wasn’t without its turmoil. The audio performance by the narrators only ensured that you would feel both the depth of their feelings and the intense heat between them. 🎧Pink Flamingo

It is always great to be back in Mari Carr’s “Italian Stallions” world again for some more Moretti and Russo action and smoking hot goodness. This book is Liza Moretti and Matt Russo’s story and if you have not read or listened to the “Naughty and Nice” novella yet you should, not only did their story start there but it is a steamy delight. The chemistry between Matt and Liza is electric, and they continue to dance around each other. Matt knew it would not be the last he saw of his shallow ex-girlfriend after the gala, and she comes back scheming and then again with a vengeance. She is looking for a husband, but he is not husband material, not that she would ever be his wife. Liza is aware of the Russo and Moretti feud, but it seems like the latest generation is ready to put that aside and are convincing their elders to do the same. Matt carries a lot more baggage them his brothers, guilt too and until he gets rid of all the weight he carries on his shoulders, he will never open his heart to anyone, he feels he does not deserve to be loved. I loved learning more about Matt and then watching him face and tackle his demons and eventually let them go. Liza was patient and understanding with Matt, but she had not known what he was going thru, mostly because he never shared, or that his family and upbringing were not as loving and supportive as hers had been. Even though he pushes her away once again, it's evident that he truly cares for her. There is never a dull moment in this wonderfully written and plotted story, it has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst, and steamy romance. Mari Carr, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧  Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair are a fantastic narration team and they continue to do an amazing job portraying the characters and bringing them to life. Their character voices are consistent and the quality of their audio and performance is top-notch. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. You can hear how much heart they put into the performance as they capture the character’s emotions and have you feeling every one. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen. 

Captivating, Emotional & Smoking Hot! Great🎧📚🎧

So it's a surprise to both of the, that they are attracted to each other and when they have a night together Liza realizes she likes submitting to Matt in the bedroom. Matt has issues a crazy ex that dies not like the word NO and his own issues regarding the death of his mother. I have enjoyed this series and the characters and I can' t wait to see what's next for the Russo and Moretti families.

Tempted and Taken by Mari Carr is a billionaire enemies to lovers romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair.

I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Matt and Liza. I liked getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Steady and Strong to be rereleased on April 2, 2024, so I can get Conor, Luca, and Harper's story.

Marina and Theo did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a contemporary romance, billionaire romance, or enemies to lovers romance.

Forbidden romances are the best. Always secret, always tempting. For Matt and Liza it is just that. Coming from families who have been enemies for years, Liza knew the attraction she had with Matt could never last. A one night trist is not enough to form a relationship. But neither could get enough of each other. Matt asks Liza to attend a wedding with him, and the only thing between the would be physical. They both knew it could be nothing more. Liza was going to use this as time to get to know her own kinks and Matt truly enjoyed being with Liza. But can it stay just benefits forever? Will feelings ever get in the way? I love these two for so many reasons. The whole attraction is felt from their first glance, and I could not wait to hear more from them. Matt is a little dark. His upbringing has him trained to have no room for love, and never have remorse. But Liza does something to him, and even with his past, he can't stop coming back for more. Liza is all about family. Matt has not treated her family well, and though her feelings are growing, she still has that inkling of doubt and will always put family first. Will these two be the glue that fixes the rift between the Russos and Morettis? Give it a listen! Go on vacation to Hawaii and enjoy that bit of new relationships. Then enjoy the families. It's so much fun to hear this series, and I can't wait for the next one!

Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair give a wonderful performance of Liza and Matt. Barrett creates the strong, stubborn yet submissive Liza. She keeps her alluring in the bedroom but in life she has all the attitude! Sinclair has Matt with a bit of darkness, a bit of a dom, but with a melting heart. I loved these two together and truly enjoyed their portrayal of Liza and Matt!

Liza & Matt!

These characters work so well together. I love the trust that is there between them. With a background tangled in unrest it’s down to this couple to set a new direction. A brilliant performance.

I loved the dual narration of Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair, perfect

Liza Moretti and Matt Russo, have amazing chemistry, problem is their families have been feuding for a long time. They are supposed to be enemies. When the two of them are together passion makes all that disappear. They are perfect for each other in and out of the bedroom.
