About this listen
She’s forbidden. Untouchable. My late wife's little sister. And my kryptonite. Now I'm forced to protect her in a cabin with only one bed.
When Nicolette was 17, she kissed me. And I did the only thing I could do—I pushed her away, even when it was the last thing I wanted.
I’m the son of a crime boss. Too old for her—and much too dangerous.
I only married her sister because I had to, not because I loved her. But Nicolette hates me for it.
She's 21 now, and no longer the girl I remember. She's all woman, right down to her curves. But she's still too innocent for a man like me.
When her life’s in danger, my brother brings her to me for protection.
But when I see her again, protecting her isn’t the only thing on my mind.

Cruelly captivating!
Cruel Lies, book two in Lilian Harris’ Messina Crime Family series, narrated by Troy Duran and Brooke Daniels.
After immersing myself head-first into a series which still to this day has me in the ultimate bookish chokehold, I'm back in the world of the Messina Crime Family with another audiobook adaptation. This time we're being treated to book two in the series, which is another standalone read/listen, where two new sets of main characters--who have made an appearance in book one--, get their own story told.
After listening to the audiobook for book one, Cruel Lies, I was more than sold and down for listening to the next audiobook. My wish was granted and I didn't have to wait long for that to come true. This audiobook was much welcome into my growing Audible library, and it's one I will definitely come back to again at some point in the future. It's not a one-and-done kind of listen. You'll keep coming back for more, and more, and more.
So, who are we getting to guide is on this audio-journey this time? Some of you may have spotted their names at the start of this ALC review, but let's introduce you to them properly. Taking the reins as Raf is the incredible Troy Duran. I've had the immense pleasure of listening to him before on a few audiobooks, so I'm thrilled to add to my listening repertoire this co-narration with himself and Brooke Daniels. Brooke steps up as Nicolette, a strong and determined-to-survive young lady with plenty of fire. To my knowledge, I don't think I've listened to an audiobook with Brooke Daniels in it before, so this was a chance for me to get to know her and her narration style.
If you've read the book version of Cruel Lies, you'll know just how charged it is with passion, tension, steam, angst, drama and oh so much more. Take that and crank it up tenfold, because this audiobook is bringing you the feelings and emotions out of the pages and into your ears. Thanks to the outstanding narration by these two, you'll feel every word. Troy embodies everything that is Raf. Every grumble, growl and even grin--like with the first book--required some much-needed pause time to recover before continuing on. I'd give Troy's performance a resounding 10/10 on the blush-0-meter. Brooke in her respective performance as Nicolette elicited a whole host of other emotions and feelings, including relatability. I felt Nicolette's pain, upset and hurt. Did I weep a little? Of course I did. She. Was. That. Good. Brilliant pairing, brilliant co-narration. Brilliant casting choice.
Though I knew what was coming having read the book previously to listening to this audiobook, I was transported right back to the beginning and told their tale from a whole new angle. It's one thing to read the book and have it in your imagination how things appear in the mind, how things come across in our hearts, but to hear the essence of the author's story and its intended meanings brought to our ears? It's a whole other experience. One I felt like I was experiencing all over again as if it were the first time. From the first second to the last, I was mesmerised.
I've even bookmarked certain chapters/moments within this audiobook to specifically go back to, because Troy and Brooke just nailed them--as frankly they did the whole book--, they've become moments to go back to and indulge in over and over. Hopefully you'll have your own moments to go back to once you've listened to this book.
Thank you to Lilian for having me on your ARC and now your ALC team. This is the second audible treat that I highly recommend others to listen to if you want a thrilling tale, ten-star narration and repeat-worthy listening book.
Five stars!

Twists and Turns ❤️🔥🍆
Wow! The chemistry was spicy hot 🥵 I loved Raph and Nicolette together. Age gap romance with some family drama. I don’t want to say anything to spoil the experience of this book but wow! Wow! The drama unfolds, and the lies, cheating, and conniving ways will have you on the edge of your seat. I didn’t see some of the twists coming. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I need a Raph in my life ❤️ HEA ❤️
The narrators were great as always.
