Summary
Mafia rivals stranded together in a test of survival … and temptation.
I was too busy giving Renzo hell to notice we weren’t alone.
That was my bad.
But seriously, the domineering asshole was asking for it.
What followed felt like a drug-induced hallucination—
Captured at gunpoint, drugged, then taken hundreds of miles from home.
Who could have imagined our escape would only make things worse?
Stranded in an arctic wilderness, I’ve had no choice but to rely on him for survival.
His body’s warmth and well-honed strength. His instincts and persistence.
That sort of bond changes a person, which may be the most terrifying part of it all.
Because Renzo Donati wants far more from me than cooperation.
He’s hell-bent on claiming all of me.
But that can never be.
He can only ever be my rival.
Anything more, and I’ll lose everything.
My career.
My family.
My heart.
*Craving Chaos is the first book in the Moretti Malice series, which is a spin-off of the Byrne Brothers. Each book in the series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone with a happily ever after. A dark romance with adult themes, Craving Chaos may not be suitable for sensitive audiences.
A Note from the Author: Shae Byrne is such a badass character that she deserved an absolutely epic story, and thus was born Craving Chaos. Set aside your expectations, make sure your seatbelt is buckled, and prepare for the ride of your life. For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!

Sage and Renzo!
Shae has always known that she has been loved within her mafia family but earning their respect and showing she was capable was more of a challenge. She has found her place within the business however when she is abducted with a member of a rival family, and they find themselves stranded it will force her to reevaluate the future she really wants.
After the death of his father Renzo became the head of his mafia family. He is intrigued by how fierce and feisty she is which only makes him want her more. When they are stranded together with their regular lives standing between them the feelings between them are undeniable but when they are rescued choices must be made.
Shae is Renzo’s equal in every way and they are each other’s perfect partner in both life and love. The narrators were the perfect choice for the characters as you could feel the protective and possessive side of Renzo as well as the sassy and spirited person that Shae was.

Great narration
I’ve loved the character of Shae Byrne since she was first introduced in the Byrne Brothers series, but considering the earlier books had hinted towards a mysterious Irishman called Devlin so you can imagine my surprise when she attracted the attention of an Italian mafia boss like Renzo Donati.
With two such strong and dominant, alpha characters I knew there were going to be fireworks between Shae and Renzo but we’re talking a full-on pyrotechnic display, so heavy and intense the tension and chemistry between them especially once they were out of their comfort zone of New York and stranded in a cabin in the wilds of Canada and with only one bed. Their banter was deliciously wicked as the sparred and flirted with each other. Shae has always been such a larger than life character earning her position in the ‘family business’ by proving she was just as capable as any of her brothers or male cousins so it was good to see a vulnerable side to her while Renzo was more of a mystery, but he fell hard and fast for Shae and ready to do whatever he to, to have a future with her. If Craving Chaos is any indication, the Moretti Malice series is off to a flying start.
Kelsey Navarro Foster was a new to me narrator, and if I’m being honest, it did take a couple of chapters before I warmed to her as Shae but that’s only because she didn’t sound how I imagined one of my favourite characters would sound but she soon won me over with her portrayal. She also had the ability to seamlessly switch between voicing the male/female parts. Aiden Snow is always a favourite and was perfectly cast as brooding mob boss Renzo. Their performances as they went from mutual antagonism to falling for each other were first class and made this audiobook a fun listen for my commute to the office.

Craving More of this Series~Amazing Story & Listen
Jill Ramsower never ceases to amaze me with her creative mind and ability to write original stories with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. “Craving Chaos” is the first book in her new “Moretti Malice” and what an amazing start it is. This book features Shae Byrne from the “Byrne Brothers” series, the sister who is just as fierce or maybe even fiercer than her brothers, and Renzo Donati, the new boss of the Giordano Mafia family. After an operation and trade deal goes wrong, the two find themselves in deep trouble, caught in a life or death situation, and they escape one only to crash land into another. Forced into survivor mode, they need to work together with hopes they will live to see the next day. It was great to watch these two work together and get to know each other, and then watch Renzo fall for her, with Shae being a stronghold, knowing it would never work in real life, their families are rivals and she loves her job with her family while he runs an empire whose interests do not always coincide with her family’s. Holy moly, there is never a dull moment in this book, with non-stop drama, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Besides the survival and close-proximity storylines, there is the mystery who set them up and the twist of who it was, which both look into. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Jill Ramsower, thank you for another amazing story and wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 Kelsey Navarro Foster and Aiden Snow were fantastic, and did an amazing job portraying the characters and were believable in every role, showcasing the two lead’s personality and demeanor perfectly. Kelsey Navarro Foster’s Shae was fierce and Aiden Snow nailed it as the alpha boss. Both were just as fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two made a great team, their voices complemented each other and their performance elevated this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Hot and full of chaos
This was such an incredible adventure. I love the absolute chaos and survival that Ren & Shae had to endure. The forced proximity weaved such an intense bond and incredible chemistry. This slow burn was absolutely worth the wait. The chaos and betrayal, the secrets and alliances was consuming.
The narration was absolute perfection, Aiden Snow and Kelsey Navarro-Foster did an absolutely phenomenal job bringing this story to life.

Non-stop action!!
If you are a fan of mafia, survival, forced proximity, he falls first romance with a super strong FMC, this one is going to be a great one for you. I myself am not usually a huge fan of a tougher than nails female main character but even I couldn’t help but fall for Shea. When she and Renzo find themselves in some trouble, they have a lot of time for introspection and the character progression that happens as a result was one of the best parts of this story. The non-stop action was a huge bonus and I devoured this in a day because it was so hard to turn off. This is definitely a story where he falls first and harder and on her end it felt a bit rushed but they really are perfect for each other!
Aiden Snow was the best choice for Renzo’s character because he had so many big and conflicting emotions and the narration highlighted each and every one so well. Kelsey Navarro Foster did such a great job voicing not only Shea’s character but her versatility with portray the male counterpart was really amazing! This was a great audio performance!!

Loved the narrators!
Craving Chaos was a dark, mafia, forbidden, forced proximity, rivals to lovers, he falls first romance. I had so much fun listening to this audiobook! The chemistry and tension between Shae and Rezzo was explosive and these two were so perfect for each other.
Kelsey Navarro Foster and Aiden Snow were so good as Shae and Aiden. I was fully immersed in this book and found it hard to put down.
Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Renzo & Shae!
Jill Ramsower knows what I love! Each of her books is fresh and original. This is spin-off from her Byrne Brothers series and it starts off with a bang! Shae Byrne is stranded in a plane crash with Renzo Moretti. This could be worse, right? They shouldn't get along being part of different family businesses, but close quarters can play with the heart. But what will happen to them once they are back in civilization? Will they find out the reason for the crash? Will they still have that same chemistry, or is it just a passing phase due to conditions? Ramsower weaves a web that is not the typical mafia romance. This couple is fun! Two bull headed people giving the best banter I have heard in a long time! It's suspenseful, and slow burn, and hot! Twists and turns that had me guessing and enjoying this to the very end. It's a fantastic start to the series and now I cannot wait to hear more!
Aiden Snow and Kelsey Navarro Foster could not have been better cast for this production. The alpha male, with a bit of broodiness comes through with Snow's voice. Foster gives Shae a snarky attitude, exactly as she is, and perfect. I loved this team and their telling of this romantic suspense.

I didn’t expect this!!!
I went into this book completely blind, I read the blurb when I signed up for the arc a few weeks ago so couldn’t exactly remember what it was about but boy I’m glad I didn’t remember! It was soo good; the twists and turns! They are both meant to be together!!!
5 star read, can’t wait for the next one!

Great story
I knew, right away, that I was going to like this one because of Shae's character. She's a strong, independent woman who has fought to get where she is in a man run world. It makes you appreciate her stance a lot.
Things take a bad turn for her and the MMC when they're kidnapped, but it sets us up for a slow build portion of the book where both characters are away from everything else and able to open up more.
I think some readers misunderstand Shae's character as it develops. They think that she's suddenly weak because she softens to Renzo, but it's actually the opposite. She's spent so much time being strong, hard, and unaffected that it takes her a long time to even accept that someone exists that she can drop that guard with. There's a beauty AND strength in facing that fear head-on.
I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook. These characters felt so real with the narrators doing such a good job. Highly suggest indulging in this story that way!
