Devil's Advocate: A Dark Mafia Romance

Written by Vivi Paige

Narrated by Lillian Craig and Jean-Paul Mordrake

Sophie’s mine.

And I’ll kill to keep her.

Navigating the mafia underground in Chicago is not easy.
It’s like a waltz where nobody ever taught you the steps.
You show respect when it’s due, never back down,
And kill who they want you to kill.

I didn’t become a Made Man by being careless,
But even the most ardent professional stumbles now and again.
Sophie’s job is to keep me from ending up in the slammer,
She thinks we’re done once I walk out of court a free man.
Too bad I’m hooked on my defense lawyer’s lovely charms,

And what I want, I get.
You see, Indro Lastra is a Made Man,
And a Made Man gets what he wants.
I want Sophie Vercetti. And I won’t let anything stop me.
Not a gang war. Not the police.
And not even the Family stand in my way.

And once I get her…

I’m never, ever, letting her go.

[Emmaleigh Naff · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Female narrator was very monotone, made it really hard to stay interested

[Teresa Bingham · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

"Sweet muff"?? Wow this book was bad.... From the monotone narration to the main character made out to be holier than thou, while being a total POS.

[Aida Marchello · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I thought this was a dark mafia romance. It turned out to be a “mafia spoof”it was funny and entertaining.

[Christina Becerra · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The story felt rushed. The narrators sound very monotone. Overall, it was ok.

[Carrie Hill · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book was entertaining. At times, I also felt like it was written by a teenaged boy… the “quivering mound of love jelly” reference had me cracking up. Not sure if that was the intent… but the steamy scenes were pretty funny.

That was…not good. The accents were a very the top & obnoxious, the female narrator was, I’m guessing VERY uncomfortable reading the spicy stuff because her voice became very monotone. It sounded like she was reading the weather report or something. And the wording in some of the spicy scenes was so cringe-worthy that it was hilarious!
I couldn’t wait for this book to be over.

[Denise Whitchurch · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is the 1st book in the series. It had its moments where things Indro said or did to Sophie what were a little much. I had a love hate relationship with Indro character. I did love how Sophie’s character played a strong women. It’s wasn’t over the top it’s really a good story.

[Nic Graham · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good story, good action. My only complaint is the female narrator was quite unenthusiastic during the spicy scenes.

[Amanda Eskridge · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book was great. Enjoyed the storyline. The female narrator was monotone and gave no life to the character, read as if it was the first time seeing the text.

[k hill · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This is a very poorly written story. No mafia acts like that. And as for the narration? Its all monotone and stunted reading by the female making the entire story sound like a false porn novel.

[Katie · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Narration wasn't very good. Also, I'm not against a dominant tough guy, but this grayed the lines a little. Made me slightly uncomfortable more than once.

Women’s way to speaking is like she just woke up from bed and she is bored.

[shortess · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The agents are terribly and language in the sex scenes was just super cringeworthy.
