They
say heavy is the head that wears the crown …
Andino
Marcello’s world is turned upside down when he becomes the next heir apparent
to the Marcello empire. He was comfortable in his place as a Capo, but comfort
is for the weak in the world of mafioso. The boss’s seat is waiting. It takes
meeting a tattooed beauty who has no idea who Andino is or the criminal legacy
he now carries beneath his three-piece suits, and charming smile for him to
finally bend the rules set out for him. That doesn’t mean he can keep her.
They
say things that never challenge you won’t change you …
Haven
Murphy is doing her own thing, and she does it well. The owner of a successful
Brooklyn strip club, she makes it her only goal to never fail. She’s just
trying to live her life when a morning jog puts her face to face with a man
that will change the direction of her life with a single conversation. She
knows there’s a dark side to him beyond his good looks, and three-piece suits,
but it’s hard for her to care when she wants him. That doesn’t mean he can be
hers.
He’s
going to break her heart; she’s going to keep his.
Because
duty waits on no one.

Ez a könyv FENOMENÁLIS. Sőt, talán még ez a szó a közelében sem jár annak, hogy megmutassa, milyen észveszejtően jó is a Duty. Az már biztos, hogy Bethany-Kris pontosan tudja, hogyan kell zseniálisan elkezdeni egy sorozatot. Egyszerűen hihetetlen. A Duty az Andion + Haven nyitókötete, mégcsak néhány napja jelent meg, de már most alig várom, hogy elkezdhessem a következőt. Maffiás-romantikus regények kedvelői: készüljetek fel, ez lesz az egyik legnagyobb kedvencetek. Andino és Haven története teljesen levesz majd titeket a lábatokról. A sztori egyenesen beszippant és nem is enged el a legeslegvégéi. És ezután? Ezután majd csak még többet akartok. Teljes szívemből ajánlom ezt a könyvet. Olvassátok.
Duty
waited on no one.
Én személy szerint imádom a maffiás-romantikus regényeket, ez az egyik kedvenc témám a romantikán belül. Már rengeteg ilyet olvastam, azonban ez magasan kiemelkedik az összes közül.
Andino Marcello a maffiavezér, Gio Marcello, fia és egyben a Marcello birodalom örököse. Az egész családja egyetért abban, hogy ő a tökéletes választás, kiváló főnök lesz belőle, mivel hűséges, mindig a családja érdekeit nézi, minden szabályt betart, viszont, ha ő lesz a főnök, akkor sokkal több kötelessége lesz. Azonban, ő egyáltalán nem akarja ezt, de sajnos ebben nincs választása. Megkapta, és mostmát eleget kell tennie minden elvárásnak, akár akarja, akár nem. Eddig az élete során mindig azt nézte, hogy elsősorban a családjának mi a jó. Ez most változni fog. Most az egyszer saját magát akarja figyelembe venni.
If
it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.
A női főszereplő Haven Murphy, aki független, magabiztos, nagyon erős és határozott. Van egy saját vállalkozása, ami mostanság már kifejezetten sikeres. Haven nagyon szorgos, sokat dolgozik, és emiatt nagyon nincs is más neki a munkáján kívül. Mindaddig, amíg egy nap nem találkozik Andino-val.
A két főszereplő azonnal vonzódik egymáshoz, és az az intenzitás, ami kettejük között van... Hűha! Tökéletesen összeillenek, imádtam az összes közös pillanatukat. Az értékelésem után olvashattok egy kis részletet is a könyvől, és pont azt, ahol Andino és Haven először találkozik. ♥ Ne felejtsétek el elolvasni.
Andino-nak sok problémával kell megküzdenie, azonban amikor Haven-nel van, akkor mindent el tud felejteni. Vele sokkal szabadabbnak és élettel telinek érzi magát. Azonban együtt tudnak lenni? Ha elolvassátok Bethany-Kris Duty című regényét, akkor választ kaphattok a kérdésre.
Her
kiss held secrets. It
hid truths. Her
kiss woke him up. He
needed it.
Mindent figyelembe véve, kell még akármit is mondanom? Ez a könyv magért beszél. A Duty volt a legeslegelső regény, amit az írónőtől olvashattam, és ez máris hatalmas rajongójává tett, már alig várom, hogy még többet és többet olvashassak tőle. Őszintén megmondva, mindent nagyszerű volt: imádtam Bethany-Kris fogalmazásmódját, az egész történet nagyon jól meg van írva, kidolgozott, összetett és rejtélyes. A karakterek a legjobbak, Andino az egyik legnagyobb kedvencem, van egy olyan érzésem, hogy rengeteg olvasónak hamar az egyik könyves álompasijává fog vállni. Haven egy nagyon erős karakter, ő és Andino egy tökéletes párt alkotnak. A sztori már a kezdettől szinte fogva tart, a Duty egyszerűen letehetetlen.
Számomra ez a regény a legelejétől egészen a végéig nagyon izgalmas, nem hagy unatkozni, imdátam, már nagyon kíváncsi vagyok, hogyan is folytatódik történet. Bethany-Kris Duty című regénye egyértelműen megérdemli az öt csillagot. ♥
BELEOLVASÓ
“Bad things happen to people who aren’t
paying attention,” the woman said.
Andino nodded. “That’s true.”
She gave him another look, adding, “I
guess the bad guys probably don’t wear three-piece suits, or walk their dogs in
the middle of broad daylight.”
Funny.
Hadn’t he just killed a man a couple of
days ago? Didn’t he have a gun hidden at his back? Wasn’t he just told he would
be the heir to a criminal empire?
That all spelled bad guy to him.
Just in different ways.
“Life is busy,” Andino said, whistling
after for Snaps to come back. Unquestioningly, the dog left the woman’s side,
and came back to his master to sit patiently at Andino’s leather loafers. “Too
busy for me, maybe. I don’t like change, but someone decided something recently
that changed everything for me. Walking Snaps clears my head.”
The woman crossed her arms over her
chest, and it drew Andino’s attention to the colorful artwork tattooed up her
arms. Full sleeves on both arms, ink covering her throat, and traveling down to
where the baggy tank top dipped low on her chest.
Damn.
He wondered what kind of stories her ink
told.
Something amazing, probably.
“You should take a break, then, stranger
who wears a three-piece suit to walk his dog.” Her tone was half-amused, and
half-teasing. “You looked happy right before I interrupted—I bet Snaps would
like you to take a break, too.”
“I—”
Andino’s phone buzzed with a call—he
cursed as he shoved his hand into his pocket, and pulled the offensive device
out to check the call.
Dante.
The boss.
No shunning a boss.
It was a rule.
He turned slightly to make his shoulder
face the woman as he picked up the call. “Yeah, boss, what can I do for you?”
“Nothing you can’t handle, I am sure.”
The last thing Andino wanted to do was
handle business. Any kind of business. He thought of the woman, and her words.
Maybe she had a fucking point.
“Actually, I need a couple of weeks,”
Andino said.
“Excuse me?” Dante asked.
“Yeah, I need a break.”
“For …?”
“At this point, whatever the hell I
want. And anything that is not in this city.”
He needed to get away, and just … relax.
Maybe then he wouldn’t get so snappy when his mother asked about women in his
life, or whatever. Maybe then he might start to feel better about this whole
fucking boss thing.
“Is this about the business, and la
famiglia again, Andi?”
“Do you really need me to answer that?”
“You’re the right choice,” Dante said
quietly. “The best choice. And you know it.”
“Fact remains. You’ve upended what I
thought was my life. I need time to adjust.”
Dante sighed harshly, and Andino knew
then he was going to get what he wanted. After all, Dante would want to keep
him happy.
This was a two-way street.
A give and take.
“Fine, but—”
“No buts,” Andino interjected. “A break
is a fucking break.”
“Has your father ever told you that
you’re a demanding little shit?”
“Yes, and also that it suits me.”
Dante grumbled under his breath, but
Andino was pretty sure his uncle said, “He’s not wrong.”
“Yeah, well—”
“Take your break.”
Dante hung up the phone without a
goodbye. Andino wished he could say he was surprised. Turning on his heel to
apologize and say goodbye to the woman who had been at the mouth of the
connecting trail, he found the spot empty.
And the woman gone.
Fuck.
He hadn’t even gotten her name.
Snaps looked up at Andino with his big,
dark eyes—ready and willing to find yet another stick to be thrown for him,
probably.
“Where did she go?” Andino asked his
dog.
Snaps simply wagged his stubby tail.
Thanks for the help, buddy.

This book is PHENOMENAL! And maybe, that word is not even close to show you how mindblowing is Duty. Bethany-Kris is surely knows how to start a series in a genius way. Simply incredible. Gosh, it totally gave me a book hangover. Mafia romance lovers: get ready, this one will be your next biggest favourite. Andino and Haven's story will make you completely amazed. It will pull you in and won't let you go until you finish it. And after the end? You'll crave for more. I wholeheartedly recommend every dark romance reader this book. Read it.
Duty
waited on no one.
I love reading mafia romance novels, it is one of my biggest favourites within the romance genre. I have already read several, but this one is one of the bests.
Andino Marcello is the son of the mafia leader, Gio Marcello, and at the same time, he is the heir to the Marcello empire. His whole family thinks that he will be a perfect boss, he is loyal, for him, always the family comes first, he follows all rules, but being a leader comes with more responsibilities. However, he does not want to be The Boss, but unfortunately, he does not have a choice in this. He earned this position, and now, he has to fulfill all the expectations, wheter he want to or not. In all of his life, so far, always his family came first. Now, he changes that. For once, he will do what he wants, he will make himself a priority.
If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.
The heroine is Haven Murphy, a very independent, confident, strong and determined woman. Also, she runs a business, which is quite successful. She is hardworking, and because of that she does not have a life outside of her job. Well, until she meets Andino...
They attracted to each other, it is obvious, but OMG, that chemisty between these two... it is explosive. I absolutely loved them, they are so perfect together. Actually, you can find a little sneak peek after my review, and I choose to share you Andino and Haven's first moment together. ♥ Don't forget to check it out!
Andino has so much stress in his life right now, but not with Haven. When he is with her, he feels so free and more alive. She is the distraction he needs. But can they be together? Read Duty by Bethany-Kris and you'll find out.
Her
kiss held secrets. It
hid truths. Her
kiss woke him up. He
needed it.
Taking everything into account, do I really need to say anything else? This book speaks for itself. This was my very first book by the author, and it made me want to read more and more by her. Honestly, everything was absolutely awesome: I adored her writing style, the whole story is very well written, it is complex and mysterious. The characters are the bests, Andino is one of my biggest favourites, he will be every readers' next book boyfriend. Haven is a totally badass protagonist, she and Andino are so perfect together. Match made in heaven. You will be hooked from the first line, Duty is totally unputdownable.
For me, from the begining to the end it was such an intense ride, I really enjoyed this journey, and I can't wait to read the next one! Duty by Bethany-Kris deserves five stars. ♥
