I'm convinced the audio narration for this book makes it 100% hotter. Damn. This was such a fun story. It's definitely insta-love, but with a 6'5" Irish mafia boss with an enticing accent, I totally get it. Also? Where do I sign up? *Drool*. The things this man says are outrageous and insanely sexy and I couldn't get enough.

Thank you Connor Crais and Zara Hampton-Brown for amazing narration.

Thank you NetGalley and Evie Rose for access to the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

A quick book from Evie Rose. Narration by Conner Crais & Zara Hampton- Brown. Of course they were great!!

Millie sets out to help her brother, but ends up having the tables turned on her when a kidnapping goes wrong. This was a quick, fun, and super spicy novella! This was a lighter dark mafia romance with great chemistry!! A kidnapping mixup, that ends up bringing the heat and romance. I loved both Finn & Millie! Definitely excited for more from this author!

Thank you NetGalley, Evie Rose, & Victory Editing for this ALC opportunity!

This was a fun, short read/listen. If you love the if I catch you I f you stories with a hint of stalker vibes this is for you. The story was fun, the characters were interesting, and the drama was as plentiful as the spice. The MMC was growly and intense and the FMC is good hearted and totally down for whatever her mafia boss wants. To quote Clueless, “two thumbs up, good, (not so) clean fun. lol
I loved the narrators. Their accents were perfect, they fit the characters well, and they never felt cringy when narrating any voices.

Good quick little audio and the narrators did a great job!

The story was exactly what the blurb said it was.

This was an easy, fun and sexy listen! The narrators did an excellent job and Connor Crais had a great Irish accent.

A fun and quick arc listen. I’m obsessed with the narrators and the accents! I loved that it satisfied my mood reading.

Definitely spicy and a bit kinky but done with taste. The communication is clear so you know what you are getting into and I loved that he came clean to her before starting the “relationship” part.

That ending!!!! Soo cute! This book hit the spot and was the perfect length 🥰

Wooooow ! This was absolute perfection ! Short , spicy, and i was absolutely feral for the Irish narrator and the filthy mouth !

I absolutely loved this book! Accidental kidnapping with lots and lots of spice! The narrators were really good and it was the perfect duet!

This was sooo fun! I was a little unsure because I haven't read too many mafia romances, but this was so charming. The premise was plausible and i enjoyed getting to know these characters. A morally gray older man?? Yes please. The audiobook narrators were top notch too in this duet format. The MMC's Irish accent just tops it off.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars)

This isn’t my usual type of romance, but wow — I really enjoyed it! The story is fast-paced and kept me hooked the whole way through. The audiobook narrators were fantastic and made the characters come alive.

It’s definitely on the spicy side 🌶🌶🌶🌶, which made it even more fun. If you’re in a book slump and need something exciting and addictive, I’d highly recommend picking this one up.

Huge thanks to NetGalley Shelf for the ARC copy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5/5)

Okay, this audiobook was such a ride 🎧🔥. Accidentally Kidnapping the Mafia Boss by Evie Rose is the perfect quick hit for fans of mafia romance, stalker romance, age gap, and that delicious captor/captive primal tension.

What really made this shine for me was the narration. Connor Crais and Zara Hampton-Brown were absolute perfection 👏. They embodied Millie and Finn so well that it felt like I was listening to real people—every emotion, every spark, every spicy moment came alive. And can we talk about dual narration? 🤯 It makes a spicy story 1000x better because you get two authentic voices interacting in real time. I was living for it.

Millie and Finn’s chemistry? Off. The. Charts. ⚡️ I could honestly read (or listen to!) 10 more books about them and still not get enough. The only tiny reason this isn’t a full 5 stars is that the second half felt a little rushed ⏩. But hey—it’s a novella, so that’s to be expected. Honestly, this could have easily been fleshed out into a full-length 300-page novel and I would’ve devoured every page. 📖✨

Overall, this is a highly recommend for anyone wanting a spicy, fast-paced, and romantic listen.

Thank you to Evie Rose, NetGalley, and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the advanced audiobook copy! 💕

Overall: 4.5⭐️

Narrators:
Connor Crais and Zara Hampton-Brown
No one does accents like Connor does. Zara was the embodiment of sweet Millie. I could have listened to these to for days.

Tropes
- Mafia boss x nurse
- Virgin FMC
- Instalove
- Age Gap (15 years)
- Forced Proximity
- He Falls First
- Primal Play
- Dirty Talk

I meant to save my brother. Instead, I got caught by his dangerous, older, kingpin boss… Not only did she kidnap the kingpin. She did it with Pink Fluffy Handcuffs 💕

Finn saw Millie at his bar one night and he was hooked. That is all it took for him to start "stalking" her like the obsessive kingpin he was.

This was a fun little book to have as a palette cleanser. I enjoyed it so much and have already started looking at her other books in this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Evie Rose for the ALC. I am voluntarily leaving the above review.

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and I enjoyed it so much. This fun, short but very spicy story checked all the boxes for me. The romance between Millie and Finn had me laughing out loud one moment and fanning myself the next. It is an instalove story, since they fall in love in the span of a week but Finn definitely had me falling for him within minutes. The banter between them is amazing, and the steamy scenes were so good. Finn definitely has a breed1ng k1nk... 😅. The narration by Connor Crais and Zara Hampton-Brown was fantastic. I think this is the perfect read for cleansing the palate.

A spicy mafia romance novella. I had a great time and the duet narration was perfect.

I received an arc from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

When not a single book is hitting right since your last ARC so you have to go beck to basics and get a smutty little mafia read this actually really hot the spot and I think i may have a thing for breeding kink trope as well as the pregnancy trope because I ate this shit right up.

“Kidnapping you was the best choice I ever made,” I whisper. His chest vibrates as he laughs. “Most fun I’ve ever had.”

Omg i stumbled across this audiobook and absolutely could not stop listening to it. She’s trying to kidnap her brother and cure him of his gambling addiction accidentally kidnapped her brothers boss who happens to be a mafia boss 15 years older that her who is absolutely in love with her. It was so good I couldn’t get enough!

Short and spicy! The audio is great, I mean how can it not with an Irish accent. I really enjoyed the narrators especially how Zara Hampton-Brown portrayed Milly. Milly’s commentary to her self as she is kidnapping her “brother” and then when she discovers who she actually took had me laughing. I love this trope of kidnapping the mafia boss and I want to read more books like it! Finn is so intense and the way he switched the tables on Milly had my heart racing. Their chemistry was hottttt. Great short instalove story. Highly recommend the audio!

This was everything I was looking for in a short, hot, spicy book!

Evie took one of my favorite tropes, created a fun storyline, amazing plot, and just the right amount of spice to give this book 5 stars!

There is not one thing that I can find anything wrong or boring about this book. The narrators did an amazing job of making the characters shine.

“Let me be your shelter from every storm, and your shade on scorching days. I’ll be your blanket when you’re cold, and your seat when you’re tired.”

I need a Finn in my life and a Millie as bff!

5 ⭐️/ 3 🌶️- 📚- 🎧

I was hooked by the title and sold by the blurb. The book was a light, dark mafia book with some humor, mafia boss shenanigans, and a lot of smut.

This book was just freaking adorable! I had such a great time with the audiobook,the narrators really nailed it. The accents, the delivery, the way they brought the characters to life, it made me love the story even more.🙌🏼

I’ve always loved Evie’s books when I want a quick, fun read/listen and this one reminded me exactly why. It’s packed with all the good stuff, mafia shenanigans, insta-love, baby-making and plenty of drama to keep me hooked from start to finish.😉

Honestly, it was such a fun ride, and now I’m wishing for more of Evie’s books to hit audio.

Also, I loved the 🧇 scene. iykyk 🙃.

thank you to Evie Rose and Net Galley for the ALC

I absolutely loved the premise of this story, what a complete flip of the usual mafia kidnapping. This was such a spicy fun novella. It was super easy to read and we love a MMC who is all about the FMCs pleasure. This is an insta love spicy novella with an obsessed MMC and an equally obsessed FMC who is shy and a virgin.

I loved the audiobook, both narrators killed it. I love Connor Crais. especially with an Irish accent *swoon*

Well that was an unexpected, pleasant little surprise! I enjoyed this audio way more than I had initially anticipated I would. The beginning starts off kind of cheesy but then as the story progressed and Connor Crais did what he does best I started to get more invested into the story.

I must be ovulating or Connor Crais has some sort of dark magic, voodoo shit in his vocal cords because that man straight up said, “I’m gonna put a baby in you” and I was like, ok. 😍🫠. 😳. This man’s voice should come with a warning label because I assure you that I am most definitely NOT into the pregnancy kink. After tonight though, maybe I am… 😏

The epilogue was what sealed the deal for me, something about picturing a mafia boss with that strapped to the front of his chest had me pretty entertained.

All in all, if you’re looking for a fast paced, novella, audiobook performed in duet by Connor freaking Crais with an Irish accent then yeah, I say give this book a try. The story is so straight forward that this makes the perfect audiobook to listen to while multitasking because it requires very little concentration. As long as you don’t take the storyline too seriously and try not to focus too closely on some of the discrepancies made throughout the story you’ll be fine.

It was so gooood.
I've just discovered a new favorite.
Fun, Romantique, fast paced and hot 🥵. Perfect if you are in a reading slump and want a fun mafia romance.

The FMC was Adorable, the chemistry was off the charts, they were funny, witty and the MMC was Swoon worthy.
Please if you love your book : funny, romantic with an Obsessed MMC who would do anything to have his girl. Then please read this book.

The audiobook narrators were just perfect, and made the experience 10 times more enjoyable.

I received an advanced copy of this audiobook for review. All opinions are my own. Thanks to Evie Rose for the ALC!

First, I think all romance audiobooks should be duet narration like this because the narrators did so well!

This was one of those "cute" dark romances. I guess it's "dark" because kidnapping and he wants "payment" but they're both horny for each other from the moment they meet, so for me, it's not really dark. It's a golden retriever stalker romance, like yes he hacks her phone but he also takes care of her. I really enjoyed it and it was cute and short, which I love.

The fact that the tropes were combined with the trigger warnings SENT ME. Love it. (Pasted below!)

Tropes and Trigger Warnings:

brother’s boss, age gap, older man younger woman, forced proximity, captive/captor, con-non-con, chase/primal play, bondage, virgin FMC, obsessed stalker MMC, he falls first, dirty talk, good girl, praise, protective MMC, tattooed Irish mafia boss, hurt/comfort, handcuffs, breeding kink, knife play, knife gag.

4.3/5 rounded up

What a delightful listening experience. The Irish accent..... I lack the words to express my feelings towards the male speaker.
Perfect balance of smut and story, enough to entertain, not so much you get bored and every dicey topic was handled with care.
And obviously the smutty parts were super hot.
Deff one for a relisten

🎧 ALC provided by NetGalley | Narrated by the fabulous Zara Hampton-Brown & Connor Crais

This short and spicy mafia romcom was an absolute delight! From the hilarious premise to the over-the-top alpha energy, I was hooked from the very first minute. It’s got everything I love—banter, blush-worthy spice, a touch of danger, and that perfect balance of humor and heat that makes you giggle one second and fan yourself the next.

Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais absolutely nailed the duet narration. Their chemistry and accent work made this story come alive—Connor’s smooth Irish growl paired with Zara’s snarky charm had me grinning the entire time.

My only complaint? I wish it had been longer! Evie Rose perfectly captures that “accidentally-in-too-deep” energy with a mafia twist that’s equal parts sweet, sinful, and addictive. If you love your romance steamy, funny, and a little unhinged—this bite-sized listen is your next obsession.

This was such a fun, fast-paced audio! Evie Rose delivers a spicy and suspenseful mafia romance that’s equal parts danger and desire. The chemistry between the characters pulled me in right away, and the story was so good I listened to the whole thing in one sitting! It’s the perfect quick listen when you want something intense, steamy, and a little over-the-top—in the best way. The narration was incredible Conner Crais and Zara Hampton Brown are some of the best in their field. They brought the characters to life in a way that kept me wanting more! I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more from this author!

🩷🖤Thank you! @evieroseauthor and @netgalley for this ALC!

When a family intervention goes wrong, spicy and delicious things happen. 😜 This is a cute mafia novella that has all the goodies—an age gap, possessive and obsessive tattooed Irish MMC. Millie is our hardworking, sweet, and innocent FMC with a huge heart! She goes above and beyond to try and save her brother but ends up kidnapping her brother’s boss instead!! Oops 😜 Life is about to get really interesting! This is a short, captivating audiobook! The narrators are fantastic! Ahhh Connor’s voice 🤤

A short spicy novella. I received the audiobook for this and couldn’t stop listening. The dual narration was awesome! Their accents were perfection. Fin’s character was chefs kiss. Don’t want to go into too much detail on this one, since it’ll spoil it. This was a fun novella to get me through a bit of a reading slump. Thank you to NetGalley and Evie Rose for the gifted audiobook!

🌶Hot! Hot! Hot!🌶

Imagine staging an intervention for your younger brother, but you discover the man you kidnapped is not your brother. He is none other than the dangerous and sexy Mafia Boss. Yes, that is the predicament our FMC, Millie, finds herself in. She kidnapped a Mafia Boss and now he is holding her captive. It turns out, Finn wants her and he will do anything to keep her.
What a short and fun audiobook!
I am such a sucker for Mafia romances, and this one did not disappoint.
The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. And can we talk about Connor Crais's voice??? Just wow!
5 stars for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Netgally for introducing me to this story. This review is honest and mine.


****Review is posted on Amazon

This book is so fun. It's a very short novella style mafia romance. It has banter and spice and is a perfect palette cleanser when you've been reading a lot of heavy stuff. The best part? The audiobook! Connor Crais and Zara Hampton-Brown are two of my favorite audiobook narrators!

Thank you to Net Galley for the early copy.

This was short and so so very good. The mmc is just swoon worthy and completely unhinged in the perfect of ways. The mfc is smart, a little sassy and desperately in need of some true love and care. This book was long enough to satisfy and short enough to be a quick one day listen. It’s perfect to get you out of a reading slump. The audio was perfect!

Also posted to Amazon and will update with link once approved.

♾️⭐ for the audiobook!
"𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 — 𝗜’𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂."

𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘧𝘪𝘢 𝘉𝘰𝘴𝘴 by Evie Rose was one of the most unexpectedly funny, spicy, and genuinely enjoyable audiobooks I’ve listened to this year.

The premise alone? 𝘜𝘯𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. She accidentally kidnaps a mafia boss instead of her brother — and somehow chaos, chemistry, and emotional connection all explode from there. What I thought would just be smutty fun turned into something surprisingly heartfelt and hilarious.

Evie Rose, you absolute genius. The story had me grinning like an idiot one moment and fanning myself the next. The banter? Chef’s kiss. The tension? Off the charts. The way she balances humor with heat is so good.

And now let’s talk about the real danger of this audiobook:
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗭𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗻-𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻.

Connor as Finn? 𝙎𝙞𝙧, you are a menace. The way he says "Pet" and "Good girl" should come with a warning label 😳🔥

And Zara? Hilarious. Her comedic timing had me laughing out loud in public — which, again, was a problem.

Together, they made the entire experience electric, chaotic, and completely addictive.

This isn’t just an audiobook. It’s a full-body experience. I’m obsessed, and I regret absolutely nothing (except maybe listening to it in public).

📚 Tropes:

⛓️ Accidental kidnapping
🌆 Mafia boss MMC
🖤 Age gap
😈 Forced proximity
🎀 Virgin heroine
🩶 Obsessive, protective hero
🔥 Fast burn, hilarious chaos

If you love your romcoms with spice, sass, and a side of dangerous men who call you "Pet" in a good way, this one’s for you.

I wish this wasn’t a novella and instead a full blown mafia series. It was rushed (in a good way, in my opinion) which made me want way more from the whole ass syndicate. The narrators did a phenomenal job and that Irish accent. Shew. If you want a short read filled with a lot of smut, this one is for you.
.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The narrator’s did an amazing job with their roles. I absolutely loved this book. Only thing I wish is that it was longer. I need more of these characters! I’ll definitely be looking for more from this author.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book given how short it was, but not going to lie, I was definitely drawn in by the fact that Conner Crais was doing a duet narration, as I'm a huge fan of his. I can't speak to what my thoughts would have been had I read this story instead of listened to it, but I'm convinced it would not been as enjoyable. This was such a delight to listen to! A quick, fun, spicy, light mafia story with our MMC having an Irish accent - sign me up!! Millie and Finn had such great banter, and I found myself wishing this was a full length book instead just a novella. It had all a great mix of tropes and surprised me with how well rounded everything was given that it was novella. Definitely will be buying a copy on Audible for myself!

4.5⭐, 2.75 🌶️
This was a fast paced and funstoryline where intentions to steal her brother to save him from his own demons lead our FMC to accidentally kidnapping her brothers MAFIA BOSS instead. Or was it an accident? I loved the obsession in this book and how entertained it kept me. AND CONNOR CRAIS AS OUT MAFIOSO?! OBVIOUSLY I adored that tidbit.

Thank you NetGalley and Evie Rose for an ALC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Yes yes yes! From m! Connor crais Irish accent is sensational! A fabulously written and narrated audiobook. With tension, plot and lots of spice! I couldn’t not stop listening!

It could be because I'm American but I was totlaly dying over the accents - they were AMAZING! and totally made the story that much better. The prim and shy british and the sexy irish were a great combo and kept me listening to this in a single setting!
