Love, Love, Love!
Damiano de Luca by Parker S Huntington...oohhh, so good. 2nd chance, enemies to lovers, sparks fly from beginning to end. Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum bring this one to life...and its duet style narration is perfect. And it is hot!
Rivalry: Slay One by Laurelin Paige...Elena Wolf brings Celia and Edward to life and their back and forth is deliciously steamy. Celia usually is the one who plays the games but she has met her match.
Holy h3ll, that cliffie!!!

Audiobook review - Ok so I was so surprised by this anthology. I thought it would be a bunch of stand alone short stories by some awesome authors like most anthology collections but upon closer look this collection is actually 4 full books. Sadly though, most are series starters, so once you're hooked by one of the 4 offerings, you end up having to buy the other books to find out how the story ends. Granted all these authors are seriously amazing and the series starters are well worth buying the rest to get the entire story but just know most of these aren't stand alone books but in for a penny, in for a pound.

March 25, 2020
Damiano De Luca – Renata is a mafia princess who has been in hiding for the last 10 years until a funeral brings her back to the only man she has ever loved. Damiano is the head of his family and hasn’t forgiven Renata for ending their relationship. Not that he has found her he isn’t about to let her go and that means finding out the truth about the past and dealing with the obstacles in the present.
Rough Edge – Greyson is a Major and a Psychiatrist who is married to Caden who is a Captain and Surgeon. They met while serving in the Army and now they are both ready to start life together but adjusting to their life definitely has its challenges. The chemistry between them is off the charts as they push each other’s limits however this is the beginning of a series so it does end on a cliffhanger.
Better When It Hurts – Blue and Hannah share a painful past and now find themselves working at the same strip club. Blue feels betrayed by Hannah and is looking to exact his revenge while Hannah believes she needs to make up for the past. They are both emotionally scarred and they will either heal each other or destroy each other.
Hot chemistry and dark themes, what more could you ask for.

This review is for Skye Warren: Better When It Hurts & Damiano De Luca: Parker S Huntington.
Better When It Hurts: 5*
Absolutely loved this story. Grabbed me from the first paragraph. Loved the characters. Especially Blue and Lola/Hannah. They’re everything I look for in protagonists: smart, feisty women and Alphas that never wimp out. Didn’t want to put it down, and read parts aloud (whispering) as happens when I’m engrossed. Writing was excellent. Would highly recommend the book, but this Collection not so much.
Damiano De Luca: 1* DNF
Made it to Chapter 4, but the writing wasn’t great, with poor punctuation, that I needed to bail. There’s 46 chapters of this dross, and I just couldn’t finish it. Torturous.
(view spoiler) See my review for Spoilers and why I hated it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Still to read Rough Edge so may change rating afterwards.

The first three books were great!
First book is a solid four star for me. I can never resist a book with Zachary Webber.
Second book (Slay) was a little slow but I saw potential and ended up binging the series. The second and third books in the series are very dark and so I found the book in this bundle well worth the series it opened up to.
Book three (Cutting ardor and a Rough Edge) were a great psychological thriller and I added the series to my list to finish.
I didn’t listen to the last book in the bundle (didn’t sound like a book for me). However I think with the other books I would definitely recommend this bundle!

This is a great selection of fantastic books!
I love each and every one of these authors and their talent for the dark and twisted story is well known. I love being on the edge while reading. Anxious to turn the page and eager to see what is coming. All four of these stories does just that, holding you captive until the last word.

So my gosh so many emotions. I was expecting dark. But I wasn’t expecting my emotions to be all over the place while reading and finishing these books. Each book 100% sucked me in. Be prepared to want to read the next book by each author - a few cliffhangers. Huntington, Reiss, and Warren fully delivered dark romances with edge, grit, and amazing characters.

A nice mix of stories,
Each book gives you the opportunity to decide if you want more. Most of these I’ve read before but s nice to read again. If you enjoy a good mix of books you gotta check this one out.

Wow! Each story made caring, cry and care. Each Alpha in the stories makes you want to swoon at his feet or run like hell. Each woman is either sassy and sexy and a survivor in one way or anther. When they need spark fly. Watch out your reader may catch fire!

♥️ Dark romance collection Audio book review ♥️
Wow give me any of these bad boys! After listen to each book, my mind is blow. What a collection of books. My heart has been broken repaired and exploded over and over. It’s always great to be given a good story, something you can devour, but to find four books where you can here the authors attention to fine details, how they have spent time to research in to situations for the material of the story. Each of these books are fantastic in there own rights, different and daring.
Damiano De Luca written by @parkershuntington . We have mafia princess Renata who’s been hiding for years, forced from hiding because of a loss she must face the only man she’s ever loved, the man who hasn’t forgiven her, the man who’s the head of his mafia family.
Rough edge written: by @cdreiss two FULLY independent People who have unbelievable chemistry try to combine there post army lives with one another. But can they make it work on the out side?... Better When It Hurts: written by @skyewarrenbooks this one is 100% me Enemies I love for these types of books and it has everything. Mean, bad, Enemies and when they love it’s beautiful.
Rivalry written by @thereallaurelinpaige
Wow wow wow Laurelin was a new author to me but after slay, I brought the other books in the series! Amazing I can’t get enough Celia! (My opinion) she’s so independent and she knows what she dose is wrong and bad and she shouldn’t but like so many she dose it anyway but she owns it! Then we have Edward dreamy eyes... anyway slays going to get its own little review so keep an eye out!
of The narration was beautiful, my particular favourite to listen to was Elaine wolf reading slay♥️♥️ like for real if your in to audio books, he’ll even if your not treat your self download *Dark romance collection* I call it reading on the go 😏😏 Find me in IG @hungryformorebooks for more independent reviews

This collection is beyond incredible and everything you need in a dark romance all wrapped up into one. and the audio, one word. DAMN! 🔥
Damiano de Luca by Parker S. Huntington
Like all collections, there is always hit and miss, and it sadly was a miss with me and Damiano de Luca.
This is a second chance romance that didn't quite make it for me.
There was a lot of back and forth and way too many lies to keep track of.
I marked it DNF around 40% in. I may pick it back up again though as the storyline sounded amazing!
Slay One Rivalry by Laurelin Paige
What a way to start a series. I just love Edward and Celia!
This is my first Laurelin Paige story, so I think I may backtrack and check out this Fixed series everyone keeps telling me I should read.
Cutting / Rough Edge by CD Reiss
This series is explosive!
Like most CD Reiss stories you are dragged into her world and left craving more. There is no difference with Caden and Greyson.
addictive and I can not wait to dive into the rest.
Better When It Hurts by Skye Warren
Well hello there Blue and Lola/Hannah.
These two are freaking epic! I remember reading their story a few years back and loving it, and nothing has changed.
The love/hate chemistry from these foster siblings is next level sexy.

Damiano de Luca by Parker S. Huntington
I review Rough Edge by CD Reiss:
Rough Edge by C.D. Reiss is the first installment in her brand new The Edge Series. Rough Edge is one of the 4 books in this series and told in a dual POV.
Caden Frazier is a successful surgeon, he´s ex-military, just like his wife, Greyson. She´s just back from her last deployment and happy to start their life together.
Both love each other deeply. It takes them some time to get acquainted again - understandable. Both have issues, but Caden is haunted by demons. He - the surgeon who could emotionless handle every situation is losing his cool. " The Thing " is looming on the side.
Let me tell you, Rough Edge is a very fitting title, the story is raw and gritty and hard to read at times. The storyline jumps between past and present, the whole story is a mindfuge of epic proportions - masterfully crafted, thought out and written at the same time. I started reading and was hooked, thrilled, anticipated the worst and what can I tell, I was not disappointed.
And now I´m sitting here with a major book hangover and can´t wait to get my hands on the next installment, On The Edge.
I recommend Rough Edge and give 5 dark stars.

April 8, 2020
I’ve listened to two stories so far. I don’t care about the Damiano de Luca story enough to continue the series. I didn’t review the audiobook immediately after listening so I’ve already forgotten what I liked and disliked about it.
HOWEVER , I just finished Slay and I absolutely hated it. Celia was a problem in the Fixed On You series. She’s a sad, stupid woman in Slay.
The marriage proposal was outlandish AF. I was rolling my eyes during the entire “negotiation”. Why would a wealthy woman marry that misogynistic, d-bag for a $100k monthly allowance? And what game was she supposed to be playing? It was obvious long before she agreed to marry him that she didn’t have any leverage. Somehow she deluded herself into thinking she was going to manipulate and embarrass him. Chile please *said with much side eye*.
This story is a lazy attempt to get people to buy 4 books. I will not be listening to Book 2. I don’t care what happens to these two very disgusting and disinteresting people.
Also, Edward’s wealth is not believable. He was orphaned and destitute but somehow he raised a family and his orphaned sister while amassing enough wealth to buy an island in the Caribbean??? I’m not saying it CAN’T happen. I’m just saying it didn’t happen.
Okay, I’m going back in. Hopefully the last two books will be better. *crossing my fingers*

This collection contains Damiano DeLuca by Parker S Huntington, Rough Edge by CD Reiss, and Better When It Hurts by Skye Warren.
This was a fantastic collection and each story was absolutely page turning.
Rivalry by Laurelin Paige is an audio only bonus book and is my first book by this author. Honestly, while I didn't like but none of the characters in this, the story was actually pretty good. I dunno how she did it..but there you have it.
It was my first CD Reiss story and Rough Edge really was the perfect title because it was really raw and maybe a little hard to read at times for some.
Damiano DeLuca is a second chance mafia romance that had me hooked from the first to the last page. I keep getting surprised by how intense Parker's writing is.
Better when it hurts by Skye Warren has real enemies to lovers elements that are both explosive and steamy as heck.
An E-ARC of this collection was provided for me by the authors and their team and I volunteered to leave an unbiased review.
Each book definitely fits the Dark romance tag

Three full length novels from three of the best dark romance writers in the game. What more can you ask for? This collection is absolutely perfect for readers who love the darker side like me.
Parker S. Huntington who has quickly become one of my top picks for mafia romance will keep you enthralled with Damiano’s story. No joke, you’ll quickly be downloading the rest of the 5 Syndacites standalones to devour.
CD Reiss is one of my all time favorite romance authors in general, the edge series being one I will reread time and time again. It’s the perfect mix of so many genres and lights you on FIRE. Rereading the Rough Edge caused me to do a complete reread of the series and I loved it even more than I did before. It’s gripping and electrifying every single time.
Skye Warren is new to me and WOW have I been missing out. Taboo at its finest, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Better When It Hurts and downloaded the rest of the Stripped Series. It’s sexy, it’s twisted, the chemistry was explosive and all I wanted was more!

A mix of full-length dark romance that will have your heart racing and leave you wanting more.
Damiano De Luca by Parker S. Huntington:
Damian and Renata a second chance at love after 10 years apart. I love Mafia romance the love story mixed into the dark world of mob bosses and enemies. These 2 had so much to not only had a past to deal with but also new lies are told and even more, are uncovered while they find their way to happily ever after.
Rough Edge by CD Reiss:

As it says in the title, this is a collection of dark romance audiobooks. What it doesn't mention on the title, however, is how fantastic this collection is! From the mafia romance Damiano De Luca by Parker S. Huntington to the military romance Rough Edge by CD Reiss, this collection will have you at the edge of your seat with all the twists, turns, passion, steam, and of course, romance!
All four books are brought to life by highly-skilled narrators, making every second of this nearly 27-hour collection time well-spent and well worth the credit!
Another thing worth mentioning is that Rivalry: Slay One is the first book of the Slay Quartet series and Rough Edge is the first book of The Edge series. Both books end with cliffhangers.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Dark Romance Collection is a box set that has three really great dark romance books. This is a ideal box set to introduce you to these three authors and get a taste of their writing. This was the case for me with the first book by Parker S Huntington. I had never had the change to read her books and this opened my up to her writing...which I loved. Ms. Reiss and Ms. Warren I was in love with their writing so this gave me the changes to read more of their books. This was such a page turning set I would easily recommend to you to give this box set a go. Here are the books that you will be getting in the set:
Damiano DeLuca by Parker S Huntington
Rough Edge by CD Reiss,
Better When It Hurts by Skye Warren.
Damiano DeLuca by Parker S Huntington
Rough Edge by CD Reiss,

Audio review 🎧
This collection of audio books is an absolutely stunning listen. Voiced by extremely gifted narrators, each book, while having dark elements, is a love story, marked by intensity and compelling storylines. I was riveted throughout and cannot recommend it enough. With books from the pens of immensely talented author's, whose books are one clicks for me, I knew I was getting quality writing. Add in the skills of Zachary Webber, Elena Wolfe, Maxine Mitchell, Joe Arden, Desiree Ketchum and Veronica Fox and these book spring to another, enthralling life, so different from the act of reading. A not to be missed collection! 💖💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥
