“Don’t...bleed for me.” (The Unknown)

Saying "don’t" around Jack Harrison always did lead him into dangerous grounds on London streets. But now someone knows Jack’s head inside and out, and they’re about to twist all perception and lead him into an underground depravity that nearly sent him down in his youth. As Jack slips further into a dark psychological minefield, only two men offer different paths back to sanity: Gray, a man who knows Jack’s every dark thought, and Jan, the first man to show Jack a “soft lad” approach to head and heart. But with deadly games and ghosts bleeding through into Jack’s reality, it’s a fight to see who out of the three of them will survive long enough to find a way out of the vicious game played by someone known only as...the Unknown.

I enjoyed this narrator and this story. Both together make one delicious audiobook. It will be put on my list for relisten. This one is not and will never be for everyone it’s very dark and may contain abuse triggers.
I received a free copy of this and am voluntarily reviewing it.

I read Don't by Jack L Pyke a couple of years ago and loved it. I gave it a five star rating on Goodreads.
When I was offered a free copy of the story in audio I jumped at the chance. I listen to audiobooks when driving long distance and I was really sorry when I had to get out of the car. The story was as good as I remembered and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The narration by Dan Calley was perfect for both this book and the subject matter.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved this book and really looking forward to hearing more in the series.
The story kept my attention all the way through and the twists and turns in the plot kept me guessing right to the end.
The sex is unapologetic, rough and raw...just as it should be. It is also very exciting and erotic and evocative.
Dan Calley, the narrator, does an incredible job. His depiction of the various characters is spot on and his accents are amazing.
I can't rate this highly enough and eagerly await the next book.

Breathtaking

Jack L. Pyke is an extraordinary writer. Jack, the main character of Don't, is created with depth and texture and nuance, and so much nobility, that it's difficult not to care for him, to love him, and be scared of him, too. In that respect, I identify with Jan, his whatever Jan is--Dom, lover, neither, both. The plot is dark and twisted as many readers point out, though this isn't a psychological thriller in the vein of Silence of Lambs, not at all. It's a relationship thriller, I think, and may just be the best example of this odd genre imaginable. Before I send a volley at Jan--the single least worthy partner, lover, or anything else, in my opinion--let me say that the narration by Dan Calley is flawless. He's in the room, right in my ear, talking in a way that I forget this isn't real and I'm not part of it. Narration coupled with brilliant writing earns 5 stars from me, and they make this book worth the frustration that is Jan Richards. Where do I start without loading this review with spoilers? That's a tough one. He's petty, vindictive, humiliates Jack to make himself feel more secure. He's a coward. He hurts Jack emotionally and becomes indignant when Jack won't listen to his explanation--Jan did it to be better for Jack--so of course, revenge sex because, well, Jack deserves to hurt for not letting Jan do whatever he wants. But I think the worst part of Jan is his constant, from almost day one, reliance on "the stereotypes made me do it." Is he 14? Argh. I was screaming "Mercedes Benz" for Jack chapter after chapter.
The thing about this book is that if the writer wasn't hemmed in by the conventional HEA expectations of all of us readers, this book could have ended differently, and I'm hopeful by the end of the series, Jan will either be worthy of Jack or have slipped off the page for good. I'll keep reading because, well, I'm a stereotype I guess--an English major in a job that makes reading great books by great authors a must.

The most troubling relationship I've read
