Book description
Picture this: you're texting a date who ghosted you, fingers flying with rage, when bam-you accidentally send your rant to a Russian crime boss named Sergei. That's the exact opening of Natasha L. Black's Wrong Number. Right Don., and honestly? My audiobook earbuds nearly fell out laughing. The narrator (a delightfully sarcastic, panic-prone heroine) is so relatable-like, "Ugh, my life is a bad dating app match, and now I'm texting a mobster?!"-and the voice actor nails every flustered, "Wait, what?!" moment. You can practically hear her coffee spilling as Sergei's low, dangerous voice replies: "You texted the wrong number, little bird." Cue the shivers.
This isn't just a romance-it's a full-blown mafia rom-com where the "daddy" is a Pakhan (think: Russian crime boss with a side of "I'd order a body disposal kit as a snack"), the "pregnancy" is very inconvenient (while she's still trying to figure out if Sergei's a date or a debt collector), and the ER scene? Chef's kiss. "He walked into my ER-while I was five weeks pregnant?!" You'll be snorting your coffee laughing at the sheer chaos. The audiobook makes the tension sizzle: Sergei's icy calm vs. her frantic internal monologue ("Hide the baby? From him? The man who probably owns the hospital!"). And oh, the vibe of him watching her like she's his next favorite possession? Chef's kiss. The narrator's voice even throws in a little "Oh, and he's got blood on his hands-not a typo" with perfect comic timing.
The best part? It's all resolved-no cliffhangers, no "wait, is this a series?" stress. Just Sergei, the "daddy" (in the most literal, terrifyingly charming way), and a happily-ever-after that feels earned. The audiobook's pacing is chef's kiss-slow-burn tension when they're in the ER, then whoosh, instant romance. You'll be yelling at the speaker, "Just say yes!" and then sighing like a rom-com heroine who finally got her guy (who also happens to be a mafia boss who might've killed the guy who stood her up).
If you've ever thought, "Mafia romance?" and then immediately pictured a guy in a suit saying, "You are mine," with a very serious face... this is your soulmate. It's the audiobook equivalent of eating a whole pint of ice cream while laughing at your own life choices. Natasha L. Black doesn't just write a book-you get inside it, screaming, "He's not a date-he's a whole family!" And honestly? You'll never text the wrong number again without imagining Sergei's cold, amused reply. Highly recommended for when you need a laugh, a little danger, and a guaranteed happy ending. (And no, Sergei's not actually a daddies. But he's definitely your everything.)
