Publisher's Summary

A top 30 Amazon best seller 

King (noun):
1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy
2) The most powerful man in a group
3) Liam Black

He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.

But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero.

And - as I’d soon find out - having a king save your life comes with a price. 

Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

A dark Mafia romance - great audio!

Wow!!! I picked up this story because I'm eager to read Killian's story which is book 2 (loved him in the dangerous series). So I am very excited to have loved Liam so much. I did listen to this on audio and I have to admit the Irish brogue and the narration made this the best experience. I love when a book is narrated in this way, where all male voices are done by the male and the same for females.
Liam has been coming to the diner where Truvy works for a year. They have chemistry, but Liam has secrets and he doesn't want to put Truvy in harm's way. But sometimes desire, lust and love are stronger than all of the best intentions!!!

More please!

Liam Black is everything. (that is all)

The narrators did an outstanding job. I mean who can turn down a good Irishman.

I really liked this story. Not the typical mobster shoot for love romance. Ok fine there's stalking and a coercion/ kidnapping living situation thing but it's so sweet!!!

I did like that how both were strong willed. it added a nice flair. I found this book has a lovely balance of character development and delivery scenes. Not erotic, more slow burn that ignites.

I'm excited for book 2!

Amazing narration!

I love duet narration (when each narrator performs their own role) and Troy Duran has quickly become one of my favourite narrators. The story was well written and wonderfully read/performed by all involved.

Sexy; Gritty; Intriguing !

Sexy gritty romance topped with an intriguing air of mystery. My favourite type of book. There are some ethical issues but this is a fictional book set in a darker world. The main characters are well developed and enticing. Supporting characters are amusing and developed in clever ways. There is the added bonus of humour thrown in the mix. Narrator did a superb job.

The Irish Mob is here and we are in for a ride

Troy Duran can be the head of my Irish Mob whenever he wants. He and narrator Marnye Young bring Tru and Liam to life and OMG there is a lot of life here! J.T. Geissinger is one of my go to mafia writers and the duet narrated book was pure enjoyment for me.

Holy Christ!!

My only regret is that it wasn’t longer. The story had a slow burn. Characters were voiced so nicely and conveyed emotion for a breathtaking performance. The author is a genius. This book is funny, some angst, dirty, clever, and more. You’ll enjoy!!

Sweet story about a spitfire FMC - duet narration

It was really good! Loved the Duet narration! As always you can depend on Troy for a fantastic performance! This wasn't my fave book from JT but it was really good!
