Mafia RomCom
Accidental pregnancy
Dual virgins
Age gap
Morally grey MMC
Innocent FMC

Duet narration - Shane East, Evelyn Rose with Zara Hampton-Brown & John York

I love Evie Rose. She had found a way to write morally grey men into romcoms.

Emily is working a data entry job for the mafia as a cash gig. She listens to audiobooks before her boss gets in each day. One day she gets quite the surprise and it is hilarious I loved it. The best dirty meet cute

Markov is the head of the mafia and he doesn’t speak.. often. He had never had an interest in taking a women to bed or to desired to be in a relationship until he sees Emily.
He is obsessed and it’s delicious.

This book is fast, fun, and spicy. A great listen.

This, I mean with absolute love, is ridiculous in the BEST possible way. This was fucking hilarious. Mr. BigBoss is so stupidly into Emily I love him so much wtf.

The whole ridiculous plot point of listening to the audio book and bringing them together? Double virgin first time? Surprise baby? Sleezy horrible supervisors getting absolutely demolished? Yes please

This honestly was a fun rainy day listen and I loved it.

The story was still cute and has a sweet HEA.
Emily is working for Mortlake Mafia. Before other staff arrives in the morning, she listens to her romance audiobooks as she works. Unfortunately, her Bluetooth air buds disconnect and her audiobook is broadcasted through the speakers. Her boss, Markov watches Emily and hears the audiobook. Emily is embarrassed and flustered as she tries to turn it off. Thus the beginning of a fruitful relationship.

These books have it all:
- Age gap romance
- Rich, obsessed MMCs
- Virgin FMCs
- Surprise/accidental pregnancy
- Audiobook girly

I absolutely loved this story!! This story is full of laughs, heat, and swoon-worthy moments.
The audiobook was incredible! The duet narration really brought the characters to life.
Shane East Irish accent was perfect, and together with Evelyn Rose, they made the story even more enjoyable—the narrators’ choice was spot-on!
Three hours is all you need for Evelyn Rose and Shane East to make your weekend start perfect.

CW/TW: on page killing, off page torture

Rich Silent Virgin Mafia Boss MMC (44). Virgin Librarian FMC (22). I love him being socially awkward hahah. The Insta-Love obsession in his POV is amazing. This book made me giddy as fuck, it was crazy. Yo, the audio narration in this book goes so hard cause they are also listening to an audiobook in the story, I LOVED IT. He uses the audiobooks feelings to display his own, sooo good. He bought the book EARLY TO PLAN THEIR FIRST TIME. This whole book is just A MAN WHO YEARNS!! Pretty short but so freaking funny and a great damn time.

This is part of Oops Baby series by multiple authors and are standalones within that. However it is interconnected to author's own other series London Mafia Bosses,

Only my 2nd book from this Author but I've had fun both times and I need to go back and listen to everything!

Tropes: Mafia, Age Gap, Forced Proximity, Workplace - Boss x Employee, Insta-Love, Accidental Pregnancy

Very familiar with all 4 narrators and I love them all so much, some of my favorites! This was so fun to listen to, everyone was so expressive and the deliveries were perfect!

Thanks to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and NetGalley for providing an ALC.

I have to say I absolutely LOVE this author. This book was short but sweet. Really liked the story line and the little bit of spice that was thrown in. Nice happily ever after!

This was a fun quick read, I listened to it all in one sitting and was wishing for more. This book is so good I would have loved if it was a full length book. That’s how you know that a novella is good, when you wish it was a full length novel.

Such a fun read and overall sweet story. Hilarious in its lighthearted jabs at the mafia and in Markov’s inner dialogue with himself. I’m not usually a fan of insta love, but this man does it right. Also usually not a fan of accidental pregnancy, but again, this book managed to handle the trope nicely with humour and charm. Also Markov is the definition of possessive but respectful and I'm here for it!

i lovvvved this ALC, Evie Rose has a special talent of electing certain feelings while adding ease of reading and listening. the stories are sweet, short, spicy, dribble worthy ! always a 10/10 for me
