AN ENJOYABLE ENEMIES-to-ENEMIES SLOW-BURN

Warring families, wagers and a marriage bargain struck between enemies starts this story off.. but along the way secrets are kept, trust is zero, the ante rises and masked men make their move. The Mexican Carrera Prince and his Colombian Santiago Princess new wife for a week circle each other as enemies, they get closer with each verbal thrust and can’t help but touch the flame that flares between them. But danger is all around their slow-burn and one wrong move destroys it all when the dark Villain sees the light too late and the sassy ex Virgin loses everything.

I did enjoy this dual POV story but it was way more friction-filled enemies than passionate lovers as Santi played his pawn Thalia well knowing she’d do anything to save the reputation of her sister. Which is the blackmail start that got her desperately crossing the line into his Casino.. but she didn’t bargain on getting caught. Now Thalia is a Prince’s pawn however, neither realize she isn’t the only piece on the board.. so, as family and ruling Kings come to voice their suspicions and trigger point, they leave gaps in their defences and the resulting suspense and danger in the Epilogue is the chilling cliffhanger ending.

Worth a credit? Yes, despite the hero and heroine only being 22 and 17, I’ll definitely get book 2 which (hopefully) will have much more spark and sizzle along with the drama. And I really enjoyed Aaron’s great narration which was perfect for alpha Santi but (for me) Stephanie’s male voice was just ok.

Brilliant Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Intense!

Two brilliant authors team up to write this amazing mafia romance novel, the first of the “Gods Duet”. The writing is superb and the story they created is interesting and original, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. It is the type of book that, once you start, you can not put down because you need to know what happens next. The character development and mafia world building is phenomenal, I found both to be intriguing, easy to understand and connect with. Thalia Santiago is the daughter of a Columbian mob boss, but she is not mafia princess, she wants her independence and is fierce about things she believes in and loves, which includes her sister and protecting her by any means necessary and that has her stepping into the enemy’s territory. Santi Carrera wants to prove his worthiness to his father who gave him the east coast to manage, besides running the family business he is building on and improving the casinos in Atlantic City, he is also looking to expand into NY but he will have to take that territory from the enemy family, the Santiagos. Santi is not one to be crossed, those who do him wrong do not live to talk about it. Thalia knows she is in enemy territory, but she needs to do what she needs to do, but her gambling does not pay off because she gets picked up by Carrera cartel goons who bring her straight to the devil himself, Santi. Wow, the chemistry between these two is explosive, she stands up to him and gives him hell, but forever masterminding he comes up with a plan, the best revenge that will piss off her father. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and a sizzling romance, slow burn at first but the chemistry and passion between them makes it so worth the wait. Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher, thank you for this brilliant story and that mind-blowing ending, I am looking forward to find out what happens next.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Nemeth Parker were the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit their character’s persona to a tee, accent and all, sounding believable in every role they played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Aaron Shedlock nailed it as a badass, alpha, cartel boss, enhancing some of the intense moments to another level. Stephanie Nemeth Parker’s Thalia was badass too, showing both her fierceness and caring side. These two mega talented voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Resubmitting the review for the third time on 11/30 the review was first submitted 11/16 and it still has not posted, Audible please post it thank you.

when two worlds collide

Thalia was trying to get out from daddy's shadow and the whole war between her father and Valentin Carrera only to be cought in the web of his son web at his casino when she trys and take him for a whole lot of money to pay a debt with out going to her father for it what she didn't expect was for him to look so much like sin.

Saint was just trying to make a name for himself with out Valentin Carreras son trying to be the name they fear when they hear it and to prove to his dad that he can play with the big boys that was until Thalia Santiago walking to his casino and cought his attention after she tried to take quite a big amount of money from him and instead of him killing her he marries her as a slap in the face to her father he justed didn't expect her sharp tongue to catch his attention
Aaron ans Stephanie did and amazing job with the voices they definitely made the book alive

4 - 4.25 Stars!

Having picked up this duet last year, i've been wanting to experience this story again. As soon as i found out about this audiobook, i knew i had to listen to it! I was so glad to get to jump into this story again in this new way. I got right back into the Corrupt Gods world! I enjoyed this listen so very much!

I've listened to Aaron Shedlock many times before, but this was my first time listening to Stephanie Nemeth Parker! I was so glad these two were narrating this book! I was pulled in from the get go by Aaron and Stephanie's narration. I loved what they brought to the story as Santi and Thalia! They brought the story to life in this new way. They captured these characters, the suspense, hate, and spice in such wonderful ways. I can't wait to listen to more of Aaron and Stephanie in the future!

This first book in Thalia and Santi's journey captured my attention! Theirs is far from an easy story. Thalia and Santi's families are enemies. As they're brought together at Santi's casino, nothing will ever be the same.

Once again, these characters and their story kept me on the edge of my seat! I loved how i felt many emotions throughout this listen. From the way they got under each other's skin to the heat between them, i was so into this listen!

With Bad Blood, Ms.Kenborn and Ms.Wiltcher have created such a good and dark story! I am already looking forward to diving into the next audiobook, Tainted Blood!
