Summary

She’s an innocent.

Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My Angel is the one who got away—the only person in the world I love. When she is caught in an unsanctioned bank robbery in my territory, only my reputation protects her.

She should have stayed away.

Instead, she charges back into my life like a shining beacon in my otherwise bleak existence. She has no place in my world where hardened criminals toy with the lives of the innocent.

A better man would let her go—again.

There’s no white picket fence in life with a Bellandi, and she deserves so much more. I pushed her away once, but now that she’s back I won’t let anything else come between us.

Not even Ivory herself.

Bloodied Hands is a full-length standalone novel with dark content. The Bellandi Crime Syndicate Series includes several full-length standalones that can be listened to in any order, but would present a better listening experience following the suggested listening order.

A great story but the female narrator was awful! Such a simpering, whining and pathetic intonation for Ivory's character that ruins the story. Male narrator is better but not sure I'll listen to the rest

It’s official, I prefer Adelaide Forest writing much more than fantasy ones. This is a really good mafia romance with a way ott mmc, lots of hot smex, many stupid decisions by the fmc, a dramatic rescue, etc. the fmc is sweet as pie but she does put up with a lot, so be aware that Mateo crosses the line often and some of the things he does are not forgivable at all, yet it works in this f#cked up concept.
The narration was really good too.

Good mafia romance

Okay, the plot line is ridiculous, but that’s what we expect from a dark mafia romance. But I had to stop listening after chapter 12 because of the female narrator. Don’t get me wrong, she has a truly lovely pitch and tone of voice, she is made for this kind of voice work, but ... she maybe should listen back to 2 or 3 of her books and recognise how she always DROPS her voice at the end of a sentence. Ok, 10% of the time she doesn’t do it, but mostly, that’s what happens, and it grates over time. So much so that I’ve binned the 3 books in this series.
But honestly, she has a lovely voice. It just needs a little study.

It’s the narration

Fantasíc voice acting and fantastic story!! There’s one particular scene I wouldn’t reccomend listening to on the train because oh my gosh!! Matteo is possessive and has picked his woman no matter what - he’s intense but I adore him

Loved it!!
