Rome Armanelli is supposed to be a monster—an enforcer for the strongest family in the Italian Mafia.

Yet, when I saw him take a man’s life, he did it to save mine. Since then, Rome doesn't want me anywhere near him. Sparks may fly when we're in the same room, but his famiglia is all he cares about.

He tells me to leave, but he, of all people, should know—the Mafia doesn't let anyone go. Blood, ties, and partnerships sink their claws in. And when we find out exactly why his family kept me around, there's no turning back.

I have to trust someone to survive now. So, I choose him, the man with a stare as cold as ice but a touch that sets me on fire.

I'm about to hand my heart to a monster. Let’s see if he’ll rip it apart.

I truly love the heroine in this one. She starts off as being the underdog, but completely commands everyone!

Amazing

This was a good start in a duet that featired characters from Shain Rose's other books. Although I enjoyed Rome and Catalina's journey so far, I'm not sure it's good enough to go on to the 2nd book in this duet. Marcio Catalano and Joy Beharie had stellar performances but I wish it had been done in duet style.

3 Starz - I won't listen again

I recently purchased the audiobook for Heart of a Monster, and it’s safe to say that I’ll be grabbing book two just as well. Shain Rose has written an all-new mafia duet to capture every dark reader’s attention.

Book one in A New Reign Mafia duet is an enemies-to-lovers romance filled with violence and mayhem. Rome is the enforcer, a hardened man with a soft spot for the broken girl who has been dealt a bad hand. Katie may appear soft and kind at first hand but don’t be fooled, this woman is as headstrong and ferocious as her counterpart. It has taken years to act on their love. When secrets are unveiled and the truth comes to light, I’m not so sure love will be enough to keep them together.

I enjoyed listening to Heart of a Monster and realized my love for Marcio Catalano’s work grows with each narration I listen to. His distinct voice is seductive as the characters described in each book. This man’s talent shines bright and you can always expect him to deliver a high-caliber performance.

This was my first time listening to Joy Beharie and was amazed by her talent and skill. Her tone and emotions were on point every time.

I’m looking forward to hearing more from this duo. Now it’s time to grab the next installment, Love of a Queen.

So many emotions came out listening to this story. The narrators brought the book to life and I seriously can't download Love of a Queen fast enough.

Gripping my heart

This book has a great plot. Great narration. Katie is a woman on a mission. This story has everything you want … suspence, love triangle, and twist and turns. Leaving you with a cliffhanger! Now going to book 2.

The Mafia Story that keeps on giving…..

It just was. I have no desire to get the next book. I only listened to Catalano’s chapters; didn’t care for the female narrator.

Meh

The story was good, but the performance made the series. Mr. Catalano & Ms. Beharie are at the top of my list of favorite narrators. Shain Rose is an author I'd read anytime. Well worth the credit.

Duet done right & elevated the storyline

I enjoyed this story and didn't think twice to use credit on book 2.

The male narrator does a good job with the characters though he made Cade's voice sound immature. Since Corrupted Chaos was my first love of the series, that threw me off a little. I struggled to get used to the female narration. Her voice did not match the female lead's age and I had to listen on .85 to understand due to the lack of natural pauses.

The spice in this book is plenty, however, it does become redundant, I had expected more variety after reading Corrupted Chaos.

Overall a fun listen if you like Mafia Romances / darker themes.

It's worth a listen but won't be in your top 10

I love the story and the male voice! The female voice was good too but, she seemed to skip over paragraphs and change a lot of the wording.

Female reader changed to much for me

Good performance. MFC was annoying and she also lacked critical thinking. Made decisions that were frustrating. Already got 2nd book before finishing & now I am second guessing doing that. I will read & hopefully the character will redeem herself.
