About this listen

What happens when a legacy of ruin mates with a realm of blood?

Heir to the notorious Tenebrae Outfit, Dante Maroni has been trained since birth. A silent rebel in the shadows, he has learned to hide his ruthlessness under his charm, his brutality under his suits, and his love for one woman under his silence. Infiltrating the Syndicate responsible for the missing children, Dante discovers information that shatters his reality and forces him to trigger a lethal game.

Daughter of the Maroni housekeeper, Amara has loved Dante for longer than she's known it. Abducted and tortured at the young age of fifteen, she loses herself, her life, and her home as she knows it. Years after, unknowingly protected, she's found some semblance of normalcy when her world collapses again, forcing her to join the game.

Mysteries are unraveled. Secrets are discovered. And their young love is transformed, replaced by a deep intimacy, power, and survival.

The reluctant king and inevitable queen play. An empire of death is born.

This Emperor is a contemporary dark mafia romance. It contains graphic violence and sexual content, and is therefore intended for mature listeners.

This series is awesome and I just loved this book. Amara has always loved Dante but their love was never going to go anywhere so she distanced herself . Fate had other things in store for Amara and Dante and their love story was emotional and uplifting and I’m so glad they got their HEA .

Perfect

This has truly been a one of the best dark romance series I've read! The characters are all amazing. The spice is great. more than anything the storyis so well written. it's exiting, mysterious. I've just finished the final book and I'm crying - happy tears. I'm sad to have finished this. I loved every minute of this world.

Love it

This 3rd book in this series is amazing. This is Amara's and Dante's story. Listening to these two characters and their life stories is like being the watchers of their lives.

Each chapter, both of them have a turn at telling their story, from childhood to present day, with Tristan and Morana threaded in the background.

The plot to unravel the Syndicate continues, and just when you think their could be no more surprises, they pop up like a jack in the box.

I love the spicy, the mysteries, and the "who done it" scenes. These books build the bonds of the relationships that you can feel deep inside - that is great writing right there.

I am now listening to book 4, The Finisher.

Love it

Ok so here me out I’m not a huge fan in 3rd person POV. I read the first 2 in this series and I really struggled with them not because the story wasn’t great just the POV is not my fav.

So I turned tit the audio book, again I know some people prefer duet/ dual/ multi cast but honestly the way the narration was performed in this book I could forget about thag and get absorbed in the story. This series just get so many amazing reviews I wanted to give it one last shot and I am so glad I did and will be downloading the rest do the series.

Like with most dark romances please read your triggers and there are definatly some dark events happening in this series book and although this story follows Dante and Amara you really need to read / listen to this series in order as there in a secondary plot running through all three books.

In this one we find out what actually happened to Amara when she was 15 and we learn more about the syndicate and seethe development of Amara and Dante relationship .

Wow what a story
