This is the second book of the Brooklyn Kings and it takes us from Mikhail’s compound to Pierce taking Mila. Mila has endured so much in life she is no stranger to pain and torture so when Pierce tries to break her for information she is a steal trap. Pierce isn’t sure how to take Mila at first, all he can see is she is Russian so that makes her an enemy to the family. After what his sister was put through he has no love for anything or anyone Russian so Mila to him is guilty by default the thing is she was treated just as bad and is a victim too. Once Pierce sees Mila won’t break by fear and torture he tries another tactic of making her see her attraction to him. They both went through a lot growing up and Mila trusts no one but when feelings become more can Mila let go of her fear? Will she let her walls down and let Pierce in? Can Pierce see past his hate and realize that there is a lot more to Mila than he originally thought. With enemies rising from different directions can they escape unscathed and will Pierce’s family be accepting of Mila? This book dove deeper in the darkness of the mafia lifestyle and it also showed the reader that some things are not what you first judge them to be until you dig deeper. This series continues to be gripping and has me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next.

Every book I've read by L.K. Shaw I have read in one sitting. I cannot put them down once I start!
This story of captive turned romance was AMAZING. Pierce bad boy turned mushmellow by Anya and her plight is wonderful. I cannot wait to finish the series.

This was less of an enemies to lovers and more of a instalust. The entire story felt very rushed and it bothered that Mila, who was abused and séxually assàsulted just basically jumped into intimacy with Pierce. I don’t know, it may have been her way of healing but it threw me off.
I think the narrators did a good job for the story that they were given.
Based off this story I’m not sure if I am going to listen/read to the others in the series.

The Enemy in My Bed
Brooklyn Kings, Book 2
By: LK Shaw
Narrated by: Eva Caine, Walker Williams
LK Shaw continues to keep the dark romance flowing with her second book in the Brooklyn Kings series. This is about Pierce and Mila. Talking Mila to find out information about the Russian mafia may not be the best idea Pierce has had, but determined to get his revenge, he is hoping it will be what he needs. Mila is not what he expects though, and now his reason for taking her is seeming less important. As he gets to know her better, he feelings changes. Mila has secrets that she just won't tell. But are they the ones Pierce is seeking? And why is she attracted to this man? A little darker than book one, I fell into the story needing to know more information and see where it would take me. Including Brenna and Jacob from the first book gives that overlap and lets us continue to enjoy this exciting mafia romance.
Eva Caine and Walker Williams are continuing their narration of this series, and I truly enjoy their pairing. Caine has such a great voice for these strong women. She keeps them feisty and independent, yet gives them a bit of softness. Williams is a favorite, and his voices for dark romance are perfectly suited to these characters. Alpha and dangerous, he gives us Pierce. Loved this listen.

Vengeance Granted
3.5 stars - I've read plenty of over-the-top books. In most cases, it works. In this case, I felt like Pierce DeLuca and Mila were shafted. I was left feeling like their story was only half told.
This was my first time with this author. I will try again, because even though I believe there's more to tell here, I do like the overall arc.
A few things to note. One, there are plenty of hints to the first book, so this should likely be read in order, but I was able to follow along fine. Two, this is more of an HFN. As the lead in for the next book was provided, it's possible their HEA comes later in the series. Three, there are some content warnings that you may want to heed, most of it is offscreen - non-con, violence, and abuse are the biggest ones.
Oh, one other thing. This is supposed to be 290 pages, but based on the listening time of the audio, I'd put it at about half that length. That's either some creative formatting or a misprint.
I won a copy of the audio book. The narrators are Eva Caine and Walker Williams. Both are new to me, and I liked them a lot. The accents weren't consistent, but I still enjoyed the experience.
Story: 3.5 stars
Narration: 4 stars
