Dark Mafia Romance

Broken Vow By Sophie Lark is a dark mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Wen Ross and P.J. Morgan. This is the fifth book in the Brutal Birthright series and each book can be read as a stand-alone.

I absolutely love Sophie’s books! This series just keeps getting better and better. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Riona and Raylan.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Heavy Crown to be released on audio so I can get Sebastian and Yelena's story.

Wen and P.J. did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you like mafia romances, bodyguard romances, contemporary romance, or romantic suspense.

My Favorite!

Audiobook review. This was absolutely my favorite of the series so far. Riona reminded me so much of myself in personality. That professional drive that sometimes leaks into your personal life. The fact that she comes across as stern or prickly. Raylan was the absolute perfect match for her. He balanced her out in a way she didn’t even know she needed. He saw past the exterior to who she was and what she needed.

The plot was great because it balanced the focus between the action/suspense with the romance very well. The pacing was fantastic. I was wrapped up in both elements consistently and invested in the protagonists and their growth.

Wen Ross and PJ Morgan did a phenomenal job in bringing these characters to life. Their performance was consistently strong and their tone, pitch, and pace matched well to my usual settings.

All in all another great addition to the series.
Can’t wait to start the last book in the series.

5 Stars!

I received this audiobook at my request via promo code from The Flock and this is my honest voluntary review.

Riona Griffin is a shark in the court room. She's always known her place in the family business and she's been content to work alongside her uncle working over the contracts of her family's shadier dealings. She's very independent, type A and career orientated... and when someone tries to kill her while she's having a late night swim, the last thing she wants to tolerate is having Raylan play bodyguard. However, when your family has ties to both the Irish and Italian Mafia's and theres power plays going down with taking out prominent Russian Bratva types, she has to accept that perhaps someone is trying to take her out to destroy the Chicago real estate deals the Gallo and Griffin's have been working on. When someone tries to torch her place, it seems the only sensible course of action is to get Riona a lot of distance between Chicago and those who might be leaking her location. Raylan insists he take her to his family ranch, and while there the hunky former soldier uses his Boone cowboy charm to break her defiant spirit like she sees him tame the horses on the farm. She begins to finally let her heart make all the moves and eventually they fall in love. I really enjoyed this story, seeing how Riona finally found some kind of peace in Raylan's arms. Riona is a typical ENTJ female and Sophie Lark did an amazing job in upping the pressure when an intruder tries to kill Riona all the way down on the farm.

Narration by Wen Ross and PJ Morgan was brilliant.

My Thoughts on Broken Vow

What a great addition to this series. Sophie Lark has really made an impression on me with this.

Broken Vow features Riona and Raylan. Raylan was introduced in the last book and made a great first impression with his loyalty and humor. Riona has been present since the beginning. She's always come across as fierce, intelligent and devoted to her family. It was even better really getting inside her head. She is such a strong leading lady and I loved her. And Raylan was a good balance for her. He was so chill and laid back. Even knowing he could be extremely dangerous to the wrong person didn't make him less likeable. He was the yin to her yang and clearly gave her what she really needed.

There were so many unexpected moments. So many things I didn't see coming. But it made it the kind of book you didn't want to put down. It just flowed so well.

The narrators were also amazing. Both gave such life to the story and I especially enjoyed the new to me female narrator P.J. Morgan.

Riona and Raylen = fave couple!!!

Such a great story. I have enjoyed this series so much, and I must say that this one may be one of my favorites. The story was so intense, and the narration was so very good. This book has all the feels, and you may want to toss it across the room at some point. Loved it.

Loved the voice actors and the cliche storyline.

Similar to her other books, the plot was cliche but very enjoyable with strong characters. This is my second favourite of her books so far (with her second book of hers at first.) The story was detailed and easily immersive.

AMAZING voice actors, at first i wasn't overly keen but the more I progressed the better they felt. His country accent feels very natural.

Only bad note was the female voice actor pronounced a few words incorrectly. (example: roof)
