About this audiobook

Men like us, we see things.

We do things, things that make us unfeeling.

That’s the price of power and money, of living la belle vie and running the French mafia. Then she came along like a pretty wildflower pushing through the cracks on a dirty pavement—fragile yet resilient, a breath of beauty among the filth. She was supposed to be just another job, a nameless person I was to pluck from her life and hand to my brother, nothing but a pawn in the gamble of our diamond business.

There’s a psychological label for men like us.

We lack empathy and guilt.

We do things to have what we want, things that make flowers wilt.

The trilogy in order:

Diamonds in the Dust (Book 1)

Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2)

Diamonds are Forever (Book 3)

Ratings and reviews

This is the first book in the Diamonds and Forever Trilogy, an amazingly Dark Mafia Romance. I previously read this Series, and loved it. The audiobook version is amazing. This story is intertwined with Beauty in the Broken, but you don't have to read it before this one (but I highly recommend you to do so!). Otherwise, if you loved Beauty in the Broken (which is my case, and I am waiting for the audiobook version!), you'll love this one. Charmaine Pauls NEVER disappoints. This story is dark, fast-paced, intriguing, and captivating. Maxime is the perfect anti-hero, ruthless, powerful, dark, and intriguing. Zoe, Damian's sister from Beauty in the Broken, is young, beautiful, strong, but vulnerable, and desperate. My heart broke for her. Alexis, Maxime's brother, is a sadistic, and OMG! I am so glad Maxime saved Zoe from his brother and his family. Some scenes are not for the faint of heart. Adara Stevens and Lee Turner Smith did an outstanding job with the narration. They are new narrators to me, and I love their voices together. They are perfect as Maxime and Zoe. I enjoyed it, and I can't wait to listen the next book in the Series, Diamonds in the Rough. If you like dark romance, this one is definitely for you.
