About this listen
He has stolen me from my fiancé and claims I belong to him now.
Piero Panarello was going to be my husband.
Handsome. Charming. Rich.
I’d started to fall for him until out of nowhere I’m stolen by his enemy.
Cillian Hook.
Equally handsome, but not so charming.
He vows to take everything from Piero, starting with me.
Cillian is ruthless and cold.
He forces me down the aisle and takes me as his wife against my will.
All I can do is hope Piero comes to save me.
And yet, the longer I spend in this villain’s clutches, the more my grip on reality shifts.
Slowly, his darkness penetrates my soul and I finally realize that all is not as it first seemed.
There are two villains in this story.
The question is which one will capture my heart?
Hook is the second book in the Once Upon a Villain Series by Bianca Cole. This story is a dark forced marriage romance story with dark themes and certain subjects that may upset the listener. It has no cliffhanger, a happily ever after ending, and can be listened to as a standalone.

Story
Kane Romano is the most handsome, powerful man I’ve ever met. He’s also the man holding me captive. My asshole of a step-dad found himself on the wrong side of the mafia, and then offered me up in exchange for his life. How does he have the right? I’m 18 years old, and my step-dad doesn’t own me. The problem is, Kane Romano agrees. Everyone knows you don't fight with a Romano, unless you want to end up in an unmarked grave. I should be scared, but every time I look into those dark eyes, I feel safe and protected.

Story
She was my salvation—until she became my destruction. Once, I would have bled for her. Now, I burn for revenge. She and her father didn’t just betray me. They destroyed me. Left me broken, bleeding, crawling my way out of hell. And now, years later, she’s back—wrapped up in a satin bow with a convenient case of amnesia? Nice try, princess. But I don’t believe in fairy tales. I bought her at an auction. Now I own her for a week. Seven days to make her remember exactly who she was to me. Seven nights to make her pay for every lie.

Story
My entire life changed when he walked into my father’s café in Tuscany…Il Mostro. The monster. The devilishly handsome mafia don Dario Rosolini. He and his brothers run this region… and they take everything they want. Including me. Although Dario has made clear that I am his and ONLY his. But I’ll fight back, no matter how hard it is. Not just because I’m afraid of him (although I am)… But because, deep down, I WANT him… And I know that giving in to him will ruin me forever.

Arrogant, dangerous, and unbelievably skilled with his tongue, Luka is a ruthless bratva boss who has a reputation for playing it fast and loose. And I've fallen right into his possessive hands. He might be exceedingly handsome and wealthy, but that doesn't forgive him for being a notorious criminal mastermind. Maybe I should've thought twice before crawling into bed with him. And perhaps it would've been wise to use protection instead of getting lost in his fierce gaze and perfect abs.

“I do.” Words I never thought would escape my lips. Now they bound me to the charismatic head of the Volkov Bratva, Nikolai Volkov. His mesmerizing blue eyes, charming smile, and silky smooth voice would be my downfall, and yet, also my salvation. The two simple words would also be a personal vow to destroy my stepmother and enemies. If I’m forced to be bound to the mafia life forever then I’ll show them all. I’ll show them how far this ‘angel’ has fallen. I’m not a pawn like they all think.

Story
He’s evil incarnate, cloaked in a beautiful disguise. My father uprooted our family, forcing me to relocate to America. If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s making me marry the son of a psychopath. Maxim Volkov. Heir to the Volkov Bratva. I’d rather die than be shackled to a man so evil. A man who has no soul. His piercing blue eyes are as cold as his stony heart. And he’s not exactly thrilled, either. My life has never felt so hopeless.

Buy it.
The FMC is kinda ... robotic? it feels unnatural honestly. their are times when it's not. The MMC is how I expect most Alpha men to sound. The story is good. even if I called the bad guy at the beginning. all in all buy the book. the spice is top tier.

meh
did not care for the female voice. the book has a lot of tropes. the writing isn't that creative and this reads like a youth book. the thing that really kills it for me is the child bride. if you do the math, the bride is 15y/o which is a bit young for this kind of content.

Hook
This Bianca Cole 🎧book was just okay. As much as I love the HAF voice of Troy Duran couldn’t save this book. It was just too over the top and it got rather predictable. It does end with a HEA & a tiny surprise. Is it worth a credit? Sadly it’s a no for me.🙁
