Story
Ten years ago, I crushed Damiano De Luca’s heart, vowing false promises I never delivered. The revenge? Didn’t happen. The destruction? As if I could. Betrayal? Not. A. Chance. We were 18 when I left, taking my secrets with me. Now at 28, there’s no trace of the jaded mafia prince with the protective streak. He’s crueler. Colder. More calculated than ever. And he’s glaring at me from a funeral pew, looking at me and my wedding ring like we should be the ones buried six feet under. The war is back on, but I’m not that teenage girl anymore. This time, there will be blood.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

When I slept with a faceless jock as a teen, I didn’t think I would become pregnant. I also didn’t think I would lose that child. Several years later, I find out that my daughter is alive, and I’m given a second chance. One problem, though. The faceless jock isn’t so faceless anymore. He has a name everyone fears: Kingsley Shaw. A ruthless bastard. A heartless devil. And most importantly, my daughter’s father. Oh, and he hates me as much as I hate him.

It was the blood I noticed first. Running down the neck of the man on the ferry. Then his bruised knuckles, dark eyes, and arrogant smirk. The handcuffs came last. No one else paid him attention, but I couldn't look away. Or deny my instant lust. I had no idea he was being imprisoned on the remote, dark Scottish island I knew well. Or that he'd been kidnapped, not arrested. I went from that naïve girl on the boat, dreaming of stolen kisses, to the one who held the key to his prison cell. When heat turns to hate, all that's left is ruin.

Publisher's Summary
From USA Today best-selling author Parker S. Huntington comes a steamy, slow-burn love story full of enemies-to-lovers banter, set in high school.
Damiano De Luca: a curse with no cure.
Before he ruled the De Luca family, before he became the man everyone feared, before he scoured an empire in search of me, he chose me to ruin.
I was innocent. An untainted princess. The heiress to the Vitali mafia throne.
And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I met the wrong boy.
My name is Renata Vitali...and this is not a love story.
Warning: This story ends in a cliffhanger. Renata Vitali is a ~35,000-word prequel novella in the Five Syndicates mafia romance series. It can be heard before Damiano De Luca but does not need to be.

The PERFECT narrators for an AMAZING story!
One of my favorite things about reading romance is the feeling of falling in love. Feeling a connection with the characters and allllllll the emotions deep down in your soul. You laugh when something is funny (despite getting weird looks from everyone around you.), you cry when your heart gets broken (and yes, Im a crier).
Parker S. Huntington brings all the feels. I absolutely loved every single word. Renata is such a strong, beautiful heroine. She's got one heck of a backbone. I love her sass and how smart she is. And Damiano.. WHEW.
Zachary Webber has one of the BEST voices. He definitely possesses.. something.. unique and special that brings Damiano to life. PERFECTLY cast, Desiree Ketchum also is a great voice for Renata. Both narrators give outstanding performances on their characters.
I highly recommend this book..this series is a definite must have in your library.

Seriously one of the best duet narrations ever!!!
Well hell, I fell madly in love with this novella from the very start!!
Renata Vitali is a generously brilliant, poetic in fashion, work of literal art!
Soul crushingly good!!
Now let's talk about the narration!!! Not only was it dynamic duet narration! But holy heck Zachary Webber and Desireé Ketchum were made to make audiobooks together! Not going yo lie here, I've listened to this audiobook so many times!! I just fall a little harder every time!! Now I just need my new unicorn narrator Desireé Ketchum to narrate more audiobooks!!!

Renata Vitali
Renata is one tough young lady and wise far beyond her years. To save his own backside her father ships her off to one of the other families and cuts her off from everything she has ever known. What her father fails to realize is that he has sent her into the lions den. The only thing she can expect from these people is respect for who she is. Damiano's father is as crazy as she has heard and he's only counting the days until he can take over. The narration is very nice and spot on. And the series is fantastic. I can't wait for the next book!

A good prequel to Renata and Damien
While I enjoyed this audiobook, it was very apparent that I jumped on to a moving train. It was obvious that this story was the middle of an ongoing series and I wish I had more information.
I loved Renata’s grit, inner strength and street smarts. I love that she knew just how far to push and when to pull back. I also enjoyed Damien’s care for those his father callously hurt either directly or through his neglect of supervision. It was clear to me that Renata and Damien would make a formidable force when they finally admitted they cared for each other.
I will actually read this series in order. I can tell I’m missing a very intense series.

Edgy and Exhilarating prequel!
This prequel to Renata and Damiano's intriguing story! They are young but are well versed in the life of the mafia, and know how to play the game. Renata is staying with Damiano and his family and he feels protective of her right from the start. Even tho they are on different levels of the mafia hierarchy, they become undercover friends and unlikley allies. But politics and power are a dangerous game and this story is so captivating that I can't wait to find out where it goes next. Desireé Ketchum and Zachary Webber are amazing as they bring this intriguing story to life. They really build the tension of the story and the hint of attraction between Renata and Damiano adding to Huntington's edgy and exhilarating story.

Loved These Characters
Another great book from Parker S Huntington, she’s quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her stories and characters have so much depth while keeping a bit of humor sprinkled within it. Renata Vitali was no exception and it did not disappoint.
Renanta is exceptionally strong and hides her true self from most of the world. Damiano is Protective, dominant, ambitious, calculating, dangerous and everything a good book boyfriend should be. The characters constant banter is entertaining and the tension between them is written extremely well.
I also love the quotes that the author includes at the beginning of each chapter. There are several in her books that have really struck a chord within me, enough so that I’ve jotted them down. It’s just an extra touch that sets her work apart for me.

Excellent stoy
I've been following this series since book 1 and each book keeps getting better and better. Renata Vitali is the prequel novella to Damiano DeLuca the 6th book in The five Syndicates series. It was gripping and engrossing and will have you at the edge of your seat and hooked until the very end. It combined enemies-to-lovers, YA and mafia tropes into a fascinating tale that gave us the perfect introduction to Damiano and Renata relationship.
You will love these well-developed complex characters, and will be consumed with the story-line. It will evoke a range of emotions from you and will leave you wanting more after its ended. Yes this was a novella but it felt like so much more. This author was able to infuse so much into these chapters that you felt like it was a full length novel.
Renata Vitali was captivating page-turner worthy of a 5 star status. I loved it and would highly recommend it to all YA and Mafia lovers.
I listened to the audible version of this novel which was narrated by Zachary Webber and Desireé Ketchum These two were exceptional with their portrayal of these characters and they brought the story to life. Their voices were clear and understandable and flowed smoothly throughout the novel. I absolutely loved listening to them narrate this story.

Gaaah!!!!
Im hooked, bring on the next book!
First love, I’m a sucker for, but when you throw forbidden/ Mafia in the mix, I’m all over it.
This was just that, a mix of sweet and dangerous.
Renata is one of my favorite characters ever. She is smart and strong , someone you don’t mess with. At her young age, she commands and knows how to keep the Vitali name on top. When her father, sends her away to De Luca territory, she doesn’t let that take her down, she keeps her head high, and is ready to fight anything that comes her way. But she never expected Damiano De Luca, son to the De Luca boss.
Damiano is smart, strong, a force to be reckoned with. He wants to bring respect back to his family at any cost.
When this two meet, sparks fly. They are enemies, they can never happen, but seeing the pull and fight between this two was everything.
Lies and distrust take this story to another level.
A very interesting story is developing and this two narrators nailed the characters banter and made the story even better.
I cannot wait for the next book!

Love despite the harshness of mafia life
Renata and Damian from different mafia families grow to care for one another despite Damian's cruel father. But can they learn to trust each other despite the odds stacked against them. I really enjoyed this story because it drew me in from the start and its pace never diminished. The narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life. Looking forward to the next instalment of the series. Well done

Amazing
This may not be a happy ending type of book but it does give you a serious case of the feels. The storyline grips you from the very start and holds you captive until the end. That ending oh dear do I need the next book

Good, but it’s all in the next book
Was disappointed, I purchased the series to find that this entire book was covered in the next book.
