Publisher's summary

A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did. A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me. And now he's coming for me. Rough. Dirty. Dangerous. It's supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget. He'll make me his and I'll pretend I don't want him to. I'll run and he'll chase. Because I asked him for this. I begged him for this. Tonight, in the darkness, he's the hunter. And I'm the bait.

Wish I read this, not listened

I enjoyed this story, after listening to one of the other books by this author. I don’t know if it was the same female narrator but both were HORRIBLE! The male narrator was good, maybe a little deep or older than I expect but I could listen to him most of the day.

The two main characters are so compelling, well-written, deep, etc. I was really afraid that the sex was going to be crazy, not crazy hot, but just blooming crazy, but there have been BDSM books I’ve read with much worse sex than Bait.

This author writes some pretty kinky stories but this and Call Me Daddy stories were actually good. There were reasons each character had the kink they did and they each had to deal with their histories.

Overall, i’d Like to buy more of west’s books but I think i’ll Get them on Kindle, not audible, especially if it’s the same female narrator.

Jade, thanks for the stories, this one was a nail biter. So glad I stumbled upon you.

Fantastic Performance - Humanizing the Fringe

First off - HUGE trigger warning.

Second - wow. Amazingly written, beautifully performed and ultimately I know this will be a repeat. DEFINITELY worth a listen.

Bait

Bait is a twisted but sexy as hell game of cat and mouse.
Abigail wants a monster, but will Phoenix be able to fulfill her darkest fantasies?

"I’m seeking my monster in the darkness. I’ll run but you’ll run faster. We’ll play cat and mouse until you catch me. I won’t know you, and I’ll pretend I don’t want to. You’ll pretend you don’t care. I’ll tell you I don’t want it. You’ll tell me you’ll take it anyway, and then you will. And it’ll be rough."-Abigail

Love it

I listen to this book because of a TikTok. And it was the best do. Jay cannot write a bad book like at all. The only thing that I would change would be the female narrator voice wasn’t the right fit for the story. But overall it was a great buck highly recommend

Niche kinks

Struggled with the female narrator until nearly the end. Story wasn't bad, despite triggers.

If you’re looking for CNC, this is it

I enjoyed this! Even though the idea of playing “hunter/prey” with a stranger you’ve never met before could pan out very differently irl, it’s a fun fantasy and was executed well here. I liked that the characters had depth and development throughout the story.

Would have loved duet style narration, but it was still good.

It was good...

...but by the 3/4 way through I wanted it to end.

I can’t explain why. They were dealing with deep scars. The characters were well developed. The story wasn’t really slow to develop. I like dark romance. So I really can’t explain the reason for my being ready for it to be over.

Yes, I suppose it could hit triggers for people but it is fiction. Nothing without consent even when they pretend no consent.

The story was good, and I did love the narrators although I didn’t know them based on their name. The English accents were perfect for the story. They definitely gave the story more depth.

needed a different female narrator

Posey Clifford is a good narrator but too soft spoken for this kind of book.
I don't believe the male character would have fallen in love so fast. He was supposed to be a monster and instead he didn't even bat an eye when love was mentioned.

Great book

I absolutely love to this book and the narrator's were perfect in bringing the characters to life

Could be better

I don’t know what to say about this book. Was I expecting something amazing? No. Was I still expecting better? Yes. I got this because it was on sale, and I’m not sure I should’ve paid even what I did for it. It would’ve been so much better if it were more drawn out. It felt like the author got bored of the story and just wanted to finish it towards the end. The end was so rushed. Like she tried to tie up all the loose ends quickly. Their relationship was so slow and steady throughout then in last hour and it’s super fast. Wish it was drawn out and it’d be so much better.
