This was my first L. Steele book.
I have mixed feelings, because I didn’t love the writing, but I was still sucked in to the story. I wanted to keep going to find out how the story progressed.
Michael is almost unbearably abrasive at times, but then sweet & swoony in the next minute. I did find myself melting for him a little & rooting for him in the end.
Karma has moments where all I could think was “this girl is too stupid to live,” with the way that she would defy Michael at every turn. But as the Capo, Michael needs a woman who is strong, resilient, and cans stand on her own. That defiance of her’s solidified these traits in Michael’s eyes. As a girl who had withstood foster care, I know that Karma would have a certain level of resilience, but there were times where she honestly just acted like a spoiled brat. Those characteristics are not indicative of typical foster child behavior.
Just as I was starting to like the idea of Michael & Karma together, & just as I felt like they might actually be on to something, the twists of all twists makes a grand entrance & left me on a cliffhanger jonesing for the outcome.
Audiobook Review:
Jason Clarke & Roxy Isles narration both had me captivated. Jason Clarke’s deep timbre was absolutely perfect for Micheal and his mafia Capo life. Roxy Isles is new to me and she completely embodied Karan’s innocence, naïveté, and sass.
Amazing!
Holy wow this book did not disappoint! Karma and Michael are fire hot together. How he took her v card was kinda shocking but I liked it. These two had so much going on back and forth I got whiplash they are testy these two. That wedding scene was pretty awesome especially the end. Karma is very feisty and can definitely be one to watch out for. Michael got more than he bargained for when he kidnapped her. The cliff hanger left my mouth hanging I can’t wait to see what happens next. The narrators were so good at bringing these two to life . It was a blast listening to them.
Cliffhanger
Mafia King by L. Steele ends in a CLIFFHANGER! I am not a fan of cliffhanger endings. The book has many elements that I love, and some I don't. Cheating is a big no for me. Jason Clarke and Roxy Isles really did great with their portrayal of Michael and Karma. Both narrators are extremely talented and a joy to listen to. They bring chemistry to the characters and have the right inflections in their voices.
