Loved the first two books

I just didn’t care for the way Dante called Mandi his slut, whore, etc. and had her calling herself that. I get that the intent was to be empowering but it didn’t land.

Smart and sexy with an emotional punch.

I loved this story. I think it’s my favorite of all the Crowne Series.

Emma Wilder was excellent as we’ve come to expect. Her male voice is so good but she does a great job here of bringing the character of Mandy. She shows Mandy’s vulnerability and her quest to become a strong empowered woman with conviction.

I’ve been a fan of Christian Fox for a while and this may be his best performance (that i have heard). He brings lays bare all the emotions if Dante in such a powerful way. As a listener I felt for him and for all that he went through with his first relationship with an older woman at such a young age. I loved the journey his character took to reach the point where he realized he was worthy not only of loving Mandy but of being loved by her.

The sexual chemistry between the characters was off the charts. And as steamy as they were they never felt overdone and definitely served a purpose in the development of the characters. I highly recommend this book!

Not sure how I feel about this one

The story of Dante and Mandy was interesting and their respective histories was different but I’m not sure how I feel about some parts of the story. I don’t have a problem with doms and subs (a little reminiscent of FSOG in his story) but I wasn’t a fan of the “whore” and “slut” dirty talk. It was a little too close to shaming for me when this type of sexual kink should and can be very empowering for the woman. I’m all about the dirty talking alpha male but I’m not sure this one hit the mark for me. Christian Fox and Emma Wilder were fantastic and brought a lot to the performance.

MY SOUL SUCKS HER FRICTION-FILLED SEXY STORIES UP

Dante and Mandy’s relationship is like oil and water.. they just don’t mix - but, when they’re forced to spend the night under the same borrowed Cambria roof, the heated looks, the barbed banter, the venomous vibes and the sexual friction quickly turns to flames when a dirty deal is struck. Mandy is running away from her own bad situation and headline gossip.. so, when she gets a small taste of what Dante is offering it’s the perfect solution. Dante is a bossy, crude, layered, dirty dirty talking Dom and he awakens a side Mandy never knew she had.. a submissive side. And with sex-fuelled tension leading their steps, Dante slowly drops his preconceived views, puts his past behind him and sees what’s in front of him.. and Mandy blossoms and finds herself too. With dual POV very entertaining chapters, this is a rewarding love story.. but wow it was hhhot. Emma and Christian were brilliant of course at bringing the story to life and were the perfect fit for Dante and Mandy’s personalities and emotional states. The Epilogue was very sweet too.

WORTH A CREDIT? Definitely.

Drawn out and brutal

I am not sure why authors have to use the term “sluts and whores” and call it dominance - it is just crap. Stop calling women by those names and maybe I would like your books.

Story had potential

I liked the characters and storyline. I cringed when he was calling her a slut and whore. The female narrator is not a favorite either.

Crowne Rules by CD REISS

What a great read. I loved it, but t then I loved all of Ms. Reiss’s books. Such young love that took years to form and when it did I was only wishing it were me who found the prefect man. The narrators Emma Wilder and Christian Fox were perfect. I’ve listened to many of their narrations and this one was superb together, plus most of my library is with Christian Fox’s narration. That voice....sigh.🥃

So Good!

Hot!!!!! Made me squeak with happiness and my heart race! Dante is amazing! Mandy is the woman we all aspire to be!!!

Dante rules!

Loved Dante’s story. He’s sexy, controlling, and likes his solitude. Mandi is in hiding from paparazzi and will do most anything to feel secure. They make a deal that he is sure she will refuse and surprised but pleased when she accepts. Their attraction is instant and dates back to an incident in a closet when in their teens. Emma Wilder and Christian Fox are great together and kept this moving along and I couldn’t put it down. CD Reiss is the best when it comes to sizzling hot scenes that will fog the windows.
