Dark Ruler
The Bennett Duet, Book 1
By: Xavier Neal
Narrated by: Joy Beharie, Tom Haire
Xavier Neal definitely knows her way around mafia romantic suspense! Spicy, action packed and a little softness in the couple, I was caught up in the story. Chantal, feisty, confident and unafraid burst into the office of the new capo, Beni and captures his attention immediately. Yes, he has motives. He needs to find a wife and carry on the family name, but this bolt of lightening was not in the cards. Now he will make her his. But in true mafia fashion, nothing is easy, and everything is dangerous, and not only for Beni. This couple is so well paired. I love the dominance of Beni, but I also love that he will give over his control to Chantal in private. They are both extremely driven and full of determination. The one thing that did interrupt the story was the Italian to English translations. I don't think it added much to the story, and would have been good with less. And the ending! Oh my! I am left wanting to know more! Bring it on Xavier Neal! I am ready!
A wonderful cast brings this to our ears! Joy Beharie is new to me, and I enjoyed her voice. It's rich and full, giving us the true feeling of Chantal's personality. Tom Haire is amazing as Beni. Alpha charged, a little growlie and easy to love. This was a good pairing for this story.
