A SWEET & SAFE ARRANGED MAFIA MARRIAGE

Conner and Noemi’s arranged marriage was sweet with simmering chemistry and secrets warring together as each took the unplanned steps to connect the Irish and Italian Mafia families into an alliance. Noemi is protecting herself and her younger brother from her dangerous father but will Conner be her downfall and destruction or her sanctuary and salvation? It seems like a slow-burn but they only had a few short weeks to get to know each other.. however, their chemistry tore down walls and Noemi hesitantly put her trust, and her weighty secrets, in the hands of her sexy, possessive new husband. There’s banter, angst, drama and simmering tension as virginal Noemi falls for her protective Prince. The narration was okay but I listened at 1.5 speed which made all the difference.

Worth a credit? Yes I really enjoyed the start of The Byrne Brother’s series and I think Jill’s books are always entertaining.. not dark and didn’t have much heat though.

Noemi and Connor

This was a really good book. Connor more or less became obsessed with Noemi even though this was an arranged marriage of convenience for the Italian and Irish mafia. Her father killed her mother in a car accident while she was with her and while in the hospital, she decided not to speak. Her father watched her every move to make sure she didn't tell anyone. She tried to protect her brother but initially he was young and dumb and told the father everything. Luckily Connor was watching everything. In the end, there was a nice setup for Keir's story which piqued my curiosity for the next book. Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross did a great job with the narration. I hope the next book comes to Audible soon.

Narrators Just Make A Great Book Better

Noemi has had to deal with something no daughter should ever have had to. Conner might have to do something in the name of family honor. Their story will grab you on so many levels. If you’re a lover of mafia tales, this will give you that. Maybe you are someone that loves to read a good suspense story with romance slowly building as the storyline progresses. The author even goes one step further and creates secrets that take a while to be revealed.

I was lucky enough to read both the book and then recently had the chance to listen to Ms. Kennicott and Mr. Ross bring Noemi and Conner to life. They gave me accents that even my brain cannot give me – and I even got a chuckle when Mr. Ross brought his out. They also gave me plenty of emotion and heat. This is one of those books to listen to more than once especially if other books in this series are released in audio. Our narrators made a long day seem to go by just a little faster. They also made my commute interesting because occasionally, I would make comments about one thing or another.

Our author never disappoints. She creates worlds that I can get lost in and be left wanting more. She has a talent for making characters you will have no trouble hating. Seeing if they will get their comeuppance is a great motivator to continue turning pages. But sadly, all good things must come to an end but that doesn’t stop me from looking forward to where I’m going next. But the one I was anticipating will not be it – you know what they say, “patience is a virtue”. Let’s hope I have that much patience.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Checked all of my boxes

Rating of Silent Vows by Jill Ramsower : 4.5 Stars
I consider a 5-star review to be a read that consisted of two factors:
1. Include a twist or a plot that took me by surprise and was interesting.
2. Was so good that it left me thinking about the characters and wanting to re-read.

This book did both – I feel the storyline was well written and kept me wanting to know what happens next.
I AM looking forward to a reread – I feel like I will pick up even more details by listening again.

Conner is an alpha & Noemi is a spitfire of a timid heroine who brings a different dynamic to the story.
#ArrangedMarriage #Mafia #Alpha

This can be read as a standalone. NO Cliffhangers.

I am looking forward to the next in the series though and see who else we can learn more about from Conner & Noemi’s circle.

For me, this was an Audio Listen and the narrators did a great job! I am an avid audio book listener – 5 star listen.

(My only critique is that the female narrator almost sounded like a male once in a while. It just confused me when I was trying to follow along. Almost like the voice she would use when she is speaking in male narrative, but she wasn’t. Narrated very well nonetheless.)

Lovely

Very Well written! This was a romance book for any new reader as well as veteran reader. It has enough of suspense and play through that was not long and drawn out or over written (too much details that was not needed) to make you want to Skip ahead. Absolutely going to read book two. Amazing narrators, Thank you! They Did not sound like they were gasping for air and kept me in the moment!

Riveting

A great romance with enough twists, turns, suspense and surprises to keep you glued until the very end. The narrators are also very good.

Not terrible

Decent steamy book with some action as well. Kind of fizzles out towards the end.

Mafia Romance.

This is a slow burn, arranged marriage, age gap, Mafia Romance. One of my favourite things in a romance.
Fantastic narration, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross did an amazing job!

Loved the story line and narrator

The story begins with Noemi mourning the loss of her mother. She has remained silent for 6 months. Meanwhile her father arranges a marriage with Conner who is instantly attracted to Noemi. There are surprises and twists in this romantic mafia love story. Enjoy!
