About this listen
I've fallen for a monster. A man who doesn't ask for what he wants—he takes. And now, he's taken me.
Rowan Miller isn’t who I thought he was. He's Nero De Luca, the ex-consigliere of a notorious New York mob family, and he's been lying to me from the moment we met.
If I return home to Darkwater Hollow, it will be a death sentence.
But staying with Nero means diving headfirst into the perilous underworld of New York—a place I’m ill-equipped to navigate.
I should despise Nero for his betrayal, and a part of me does. But as I’m drawn deeper into his world, I begin to see that not all darkness is the same.
Now, I’m caught between two worlds and two versions of a man I thought I knew. Can I trust Nero to protect me from even greater dangers?
Or is my only chance at safety escaping his iron grasp and running away?~~When He Takes is book 2 of the Fallen God duet. Nero and Blake's story begins in book 1, When He Desires.

Story
Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

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.

Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster. No, correction, he's actually the devil. Except, when I first meet him, he's simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York. And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not? Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where's the harm in a little indulgence, right?

The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want. No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me–or return to the hell she came from. I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.

Story
Never did I think it would lead me straight into the arms of a serial killer. When the magazine I worked for sent me to write a piece on The Elysian, and the recluse architect who created it, I didn’t know what to expect. It certainly wasn’t him. He was supposed to be cold and cruel, but to me, he was Intoxicating. Magnetic. And impossible to quit. The deeper I fell, the harder it became to ignore a voice inside my head telling me that death followed Cain. I wanted to be wrong. Maybe it was all in my head. But I needed to find the answers. Nothing prepared me for what I found….

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.

One wild night gave me more than just regrets. Six years ago, I walked away from Igor Sokolov—New York’s most dangerous Bratva prince—and vowed never to look back. Or so I thought. Now, he’s found me. And worse, he’s discovered my biggest secret: our daughter. Igor doesn’t ask. He takes. With ruthless determination, he drags us back to New York, claiming it’s the only way to keep us safe. Safe from his enemies, maybe. But not from him. He’s possessive, demanding, and dangerously irresistible. And he’s made one thing crystal clear: I’m his.

I hate Felix Malone with all my heart and soul. He's the second-born son of a murderous don. The newest leader of the Malone mafia family now that his father is dead. If I could have hoped a change in management would mean a positive shift for the notorious crime family, I'm proven wrong as Felix quickly settles into his new role and lays scourge on New York City. He believes he's not as bad as the man who came before him, purely because the women he beds survive the night. But Felix is just a different kind of evil.

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.

Narration difficult to adjust to.
Nero grew on me but at first it was hard because in the other books they gave him a New York accent and they didn’t in his own books. His deep voice was fantastic for the spicy scenes but was a strange fit for the chatty guy from Gemma’s story.
The female narrator for this duet spoke WAY too fast. It gave off an anxious vibe- which definitely fit Blake’s personality but didn’t allow for enough range of emotions. I ended up having to slow the speed down for her parts.

((( W. O. W . ))) What an Amazing Book !! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍👍 ❤😊😁
1st off , I am Not really into 2 part books , but I Actually
LOOVVEEE AIDEN SNOWS Voice so much in Mafia books I gave this audiobook a shot .
I am So glad I did , I loved this story.
Kudos to the Author.
GABRIELLE SANDS for creating such an entertaining story.
Here is a bit of character description.
I wish more audiobook summaries had more Character's appearance discripttion in other stories.
I dunno but for some reason I look for books with blonde heroines,
Maybe because I can relate to them better and I wish I was a natural Blonde.
** Note **
Anyway Blake has Blonde Hair and Blue eyes where as Nero Has Chestnut colored hair and Hazel Eyes.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍👍😊
ALONE FOR THE NARRATION and they WAY it was Narrated.
Aiden Snow (( ROWAN / NERO )) -
Lucy Rivers (( BLAKE))
The Narrators Brought this story to life.
I love How This Story Was Narrated .
In the audio format the Characters were talking to each other and NOT READING TO THE LISTENER OR TELLING YOU THEIR STORY.
I personally hate that kind of NARRATION.
You feel more connected to the story the way this was formatted. Like your in it. And not having it told to you.
This is a part 2 of a Hidden Identity type story.
This story was so instering it held your Interest, from begining to end .
There was a Point hopefully without me giving much away in the story where The MMC Aiden Snow( NERO ) was being pulled 3 different ways.
and Your like as a Listner Whats he gonna do now, whats gonna happen. Who can he trust.
All while coming to the realization hes falling for Blake.
And Blake has been hurt and led to believe shes just above Nothing because of her family.
Shes constantly questing her self Afraid to love and be let down again .
When Blake finds out Rowan Miller is Actually Nero De Luca she Struggles yet again feeling betrayed and lied too.
Nero Falls first ,
while Blake is struggling with her feelings, her morals, and judgement she feels she gets because of her family, that shaped her into a person who feels shes not good enough.
Honestly You Feel For Both Characters.
Nero Realized he loved her , and wanted to keep her safe while Blake was afrid of her feelings wanted to run, but couldn't because they were in a 3 way tug of war kind of thing.
How the Author brings it all together is truly a Masterpiece.
*********************
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
*********************
Honestly for a 2 part book the story just flows.
Happy Listening 👍😊😁❤

What a wonderful ride Blake and Nero took me on
I have loved all of Gabrielle Sands books and audios. Nero and Blake add to that wonderful collection. This audiobook is the duet pair to When He Desires new elements are brought to this duo to test their relationship but also to test their individual selves.
It’s a mafia romance so there’s violence and love mixed in it but I loved the hints of dark comedy that Nero sprinkles every now and again. Definitely worth a listen but I recommend getting both books at the same time because the second you finish the first, you’ll NEED to start the second. Enjoy!

good but..
good story and male narration was perfect but Blake was incredibly irritating to me and the fact that the female narrator also annoys me, probably didn't help.

Nero(I want one)
I enjoyed everything about this story. This story had twists, great narration, humor, and you can’t forget about the steamy love scenes. I was not ready for the story to end. I looking forward to listening to this author again.

Narrator's were phenomenal but too long.
Also Female was basically like, let's be friends even though we're married, it just didn't make sense. Female story didn't cut it for me. too much angst, too much whiny, I hated the female character. Male was absolutely amazing, one of my favorite male characters. I skipped through chapters, this back & forth took too long.
