About this audiobook
She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds ...
Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa ... or was.
In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation is darker than his black suits and ties.
After Elena’s first encounter with Nicholas, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that goes down her spine at the sound of his voice.
And he’s always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.
Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a Made Man ... right?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing from the start didn’t won’t it to end ?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ot wasn't awful. But I really wouldn't reccomend it. Very predictable and cliche
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I couldn’t with the FMC a lot of her decisions were just dumb. This is a slow burn ? ?. Your average mafia love story. And just a heads up I was so tired of the attempted accent every time the narrator said mama or nonna like please just stop
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These hot mafia dons are just *chefs kiss*
Loved the story although I did wish it was a bit shorter. The narration was perfect - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It has an amazing build up. Good pace and the male character is dominant without being weird
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thoughtly I enjoyed this book What an awesome read this was
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were flawed but lovable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was sooo good I wish yall had the rest of them omgg I love it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What an awesome read this was! Something of almost everything.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Omg I love this book so much. It’s my new favourite!?❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I Loved this so so much.. My new favorite book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Elena is an absolute idiot who was so frustrating throughout the story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it! Wow wow ? I really like this mafia book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5El segundo Nico que me enamora. Hace mucho que no me encantaba un libro del género.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is exhausting, because of the constant miscommunication from the very beginning to the very end of the book. However, the immediate desire to want these characters together is there. It is so much fun, and I listened to it very quickly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5? loved such a good book very intriguing book! ???????????
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute book to listen/read. Wish it would of had more to the ending
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a cute, quick listen. Loved the characters, and the narrator did a great job.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow the book was awesome the characters ❤️loved it ❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoy romantic suspense, but never thought I'd enjoy one set in the mafia. I'm so glad I gave The Sweetest Oblivion a chance! I was engaged from the beginning and finished the book in a day! It's not as gruesome as I thought it might have been…the violence isn't overly descriptive. Elena and Nico are both likeable characters, in spite of the world in which they live. They don't negate the lifestyle of a mafioso, but they each have a code that drives their choices. Nico is a don and clearly an alpha. Elena is known for her “sweetness,” but is testing the waters to move outside of the stringent boundaries in which she's been raised. Once they meet, their attraction is something neither can deny.
Narration was very good. I highly recommend The Sweetest Oblivion! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The way I hated Nico at the beginning of the book only for him to raise my already impossible to reach standards. Only one thing came to mind that he kept saying at the beginning "Assumptions?" I'm sorry my man, I'll never assume a single thing again. I think this book opened a whole new door to a genre I thought I wasn't gonna be into. And the end?! I'm not gonna give any spoilers, but come on, men like that don't exist and now I'm gonna stay single forever unless I become that type of person in a relationship.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So so so good I loved the story the way the author kept me hooked!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was everything I didn’t know I needed. My first mafia romance & definitely not my last.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book! The narrator was also great, other than thinking she had to say Momma with an Italian accent every time. Definitely recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Written and narrative really well. I couldn't stop once I started.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love the story line, got me wanting for more. The character build up is also satisfying.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great book worth the listen. Mafia dons, arranged marriage and eventually love ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Second time I listen to this book. I still like it. I will need to check more books from this author,
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved this book!! I’m looking for the others to listen to. I was sad to see them not on here so I am looking else where I can’t wait, I WILL find them. ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a top 10% mafia book without the obligatory BDSM, yet still A#1 spice with an often delightful dialogue. Starts out with some violence, but for the most part is less violent than most.
There are some idiosyncratic Italian "Mah-mas" but very quickly they won't bother you. For once the narrators match the age and personalities of the book!
