About this listen

MAX

There’s this moment in life when you discover the reason for your pitiful existence. When all the demons lurking in your mind quiet down, tamed and dominated by a light so bright it pierces the dark like a beam of salvation.

My moment was three years ago, and again every single time I see her.

Alison Battaglia–my capo’s little sister and the soon-to-be wife of California’s Mafia Don.

She looks at me as if I’m her saving grace, her knight in shining armor.

If only she knew I am just the opposite. A trojan horse disguised by fine suits and deception.

But my mask is starting to slip. She is tearing my walls, brick by brick, coming closer to my truths.

She craves them as much as I crave her.

Will she hate me when she finds out the monster I am? “...falser than vows made in wine.”

She will.

I do.

Angel of Light is the second book in a duet. The completed duet can be listened to as an interconnected stand-alone romance novel that ends with a guaranteed HEA.

For the complete experience please be sure to listen to the first book of the duet Angel of Darkness.

This is the fifth book in the Lords Of The Commission–New York series.

I have been counting down for this since listening to Angel of darkness I needed closure and this delivered. This story picks up right where WE LEFT OFF IN BOOK ONE, following Max and Alison through a seriously intense, forbidden love story. Think: mafia politics, arranged marriage, secrets, betrayal and a connection that refuses to break no matter how hard they try. It’s emotional, messy, and so addictive. Max is that classic tortured anti-hero, broody, protective, hiding way too much, and Alison really comes into her own here, finding her place within the family to prove she’s not ust a mafia princess. Their chemistry IS Off the charts, The push and pull between them, the jealousies and possessiveness had me fully hooked. It’s fuelled with mafia politics, secrets and revenge whilst fighting forbidden feelings. Alison is all in, whereas Max is hiding dark secrets and pushing her away. The times I was shouting at him in my head to just open up and tell her!
Andi & Sean absolutely made this experience. They brought so much depth to both characters, especially Max’s inner conflict and Alison’s strength. You could really feel every moment, whether it was heartbreak, tension, or those softer emotional scenes. This was an emotional rollercoaster, in the best way. Expect angst, spice, twists.

Book 5 in The lords of commission series and the second part of the duet and conclusion to Angel of Darkness. I went into this thinking I was prepared because it’s a continuation of book four… I was not prepared! Not emotionally and not mentally… not even slightly. This book doesn’t ease you in.. it grabs you and just keeps squeezing. We pick up right in the aftermath and it’s immediate chaos.. so explosions, fear, desperation and a constant suffocating tension of knowing everything is about to get worse before it ever gets better.. and just wading through it!

As before at the centre of it all is Max… who is one of the most unwell (but affectionate) men I’ve ever read. This man would ruin himself to save his girl. He is drowning in guilt, convinced he’s the villain, while simultaneously being the only one willing to burn the world down to keep Alison breathing. The internal conflict is brutal. His devotion is unhinged or waiving.

And Alison… oh my gosh. There’s something almost painful about the way she feels Max before she fully remembers him, like her soul recognises him even when her mind doesn’t. She’s soft but she’s not weak and the way she leans into that instinct instead of running from it? I loved her about her.

The dynamic between them is just… intense in a way that’s hard to explain without sounding slightly unhinged myself. Every interaction feels loaded. Half the time I felt like I was holding my breath waiting for it to all go wrong. And the tension from the outside threats only makes everything worse. There’s this constant sense that danger is closing in from every direction and no matter what they do, it’s never really going to be enough to keep her safe. It keeps you on edge the entire time, like you’re just waiting for the next hit.
That said in a few chapters I was rolling clutching my sides.. some of the banter or Max’s inner thoughts!

And I have to talk about the audiobook because I listened to this as audio and WOW it didn’t let the story down. The narrators didn’t just read this… again they performed it. Max’s voice carried every ounce of his guilt, restraint and barely controlled emotion and Alison’s confusion and vulnerability felt so real it actually hurt to listen to at times. It genuinely added another layer to the story that made everything hit harder. I was completely pulled in, Andi Eloise and Sean Masters just work so well!

By the end of this duet, I wasn’t okay. Like at all! This book is messy, emotional, intense and completely addictive in the worst but best way. It’s the kind of story where love isn’t soft or easy, no, it’s all consuming, destructive and impossible to walk away from, no matter how much it hurts… I just had to know!

At the end we get the promised HEA by Stephanie Amaral but need therapy to work through it. I need the next book immediately... because the story is still on going!

The conclusion we needed in the duet…
