SUMMARY:
When Dad died, he made me the leader of the Italian Mafia. That position was unheard of for a woman until me. Ryder, Dex, Gage, and Holden are my team, my closest friends. Then Leo waltzes into my life, turning it upside down, along with everyone in it.

With a new guy in my life, four guys vying for my affection, a past flame that refuses to be blown out, and threats lurking in every corner; I have to fight like hell to come out of the fire alive and still leading the Italian Mafia.

REVIEW:
WHOA! This was by far the spiciest and darkest novel I have read to date... and I’ve read a few (on my 62nd book of 2024 and counting.)

Riches to Riches by Ames Mills is a dark, reverse harem / polyamorous / why choose story with one kick ass FMC and 6 amazing MMCs. It includes M/M content, as well as almost any variation you can imagine for s3xy encounters and s3xual tropes. Definitely check the tr!gger warnings. It includes some extremely sensitive topics.

It’s hard to say much about the story without spoilers. However, I can summarize the entire novel up by saying that it is basically a p0rn audiobook with a very loose plot. The spice starts  almost immediately and just doesn’t stop. The sm*t just keeps smutt!ng and smutt!ng and smutt!ng some more. Did I mention NONSTOP? Finally at the end of the novel, the plot comes in heavy and finishes with a major cliffhanger (which makes sense since Riches to Riches is a duet.)

Ada Sinclair and Patrick Zeller were great narrators. Sinclair ensured Alessa (Les) was multi-dimensional and sounded like a bada$$ FMC but also had her own demons, feelings, and vulnerabilities. It was a relief that Alessa was portrayed with depth. Zeller had a particularly hard task before him since he needed to give each of the 6 male MCs a distinct voice, cadence or accent so the listener knew which man was talking, especially in group situations where multiple MMCs would talk. Zeller nailed it and greatly enhanced the listening experience through his expertise.

That cliffhanger... you gotta read book one for the cliffhanger. I want to know if you are as excited to jimp straight into book two as I am!
