Book description
Let's be real: if you've ever been ghosted by a guy who won't text back, but he's also the Underboss of a mob family and emotionally constipated? This is your audiobook. Cora Reilly's A Touch of Fate is the rom-com you didn't know you needed, narrated with such effortless charm that you'll swear you're eavesdropping on a gossip session at the mafia's fanciest bistro.
Emma Mancini's optimism? Adorable. She's basically that friend who thinks everyone deserves a second chance, even when the guy in question is colder than a frozen margarita left in a snowbank. Samuel Mione? Oh, he's got walls thicker than a mob boss's security detail, built from past regrets and bitterness so potent it could curdle milk. He's not just avoiding Emma-he's actively trying to make her feel like a surprise tax bill. ("Why is she even here?")
But Emma? She's got the tenacity of a squirrel trying to steal your lunch while you're eating it. She's survived worse than a husband who treats her like a minor inconvenience. And the audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator nails Samuel's icy, clipped delivery (you can practically feel the frostbite), while Emma's voice crackles with hope that's equal parts brave and slightly terrifying. You'll catch yourself whispering, "Girl, breathe," as she marches through his emotional wasteland, refusing to be ignored.
The best part? Reilly doesn't just give us a love story-she gives us a drama. The gossip mill runs wild ("Did you hear? The Underboss's wife still doesn't know his favorite color!"), Samuel's guilt is as heavy as a bag of bricks, and Emma? She's the tiny, stubborn spark trying to melt it all. You'll be grinning, groaning, and muttering, "Just talk to her, you emotionally stunted ice cube!" by the third chapter.
And that ending? Chef's kiss. It's not just about breaking walls-it's about what happens when you finally see the person behind the ice. If you've ever wanted to tell a fictional mob boss to "get over himself" while sipping tea, this audiobook is your guilty pleasure. Just... maybe don't listen while driving. You'll laugh too hard and swerve into the next lane. (And honestly? Worth it.)
