"What it means, Em, is that you’re going to do what I want, whenever I want, or I’ll tell everyone your dirty little secret."

Art therapist Emrys Finnegan thought she'd left the fast-paced world of Public Relations behind when her old boss calls to offer her one last job. And it pays the kind of money that could change Emrys' life forever.

There's only one catch. She'd be working for disgraced major league baseball superstar Tanner Courtenay. And he’s a legendary PR nightmare, a violent and unstable athlete with a rap sheet a mile long.

Emrys has no choice but to grit her teeth and put up with Tanner's contemptuous treatment and malicious cruelty. But when one day he goes too far, everything changes. Suddenly, Tanner would do anything to get Emrys to stay with him. And with his wealth and ruthlessness, it's only a matter of time before he gets what he wants…

This is a fast-paced dark baseball romance with bullying, blackmail, obsession, breeding, groveling, and a HEA.

A fun reread, happy to be able to listen while working out. Not a long story, the main character remains consistent in that he doesn’t change. Pushover fmc/bully mmc, fun trope

Unapologetic alphahole

First, Tanner was barely redeemable. Yes, it's a bully romance, but ugh... he was an a** most of the story and the smoking thing, just no, especially for an athlete... Gross. Emrys was a doormat for much of the story and the secondary teammates tried to help her but she wouldn't help herself. I like the darker, possessive, ott stories, dubcon/NC, bc tampering because the mmc is so possessive and obsessed with fmc but this missed the mark. CR Jane Pucking Wrong series is amazing and I was hoping this would be similar, but it definitely didn't.

Great dark romance story. Wish for new reader and male pov. He's so unhinged and she gives in to his craziness again and again. I almost feel sorry for her but he eventually tones it down a bit and tries to win her over with o's & grand gestures.

Kate Raven is a literary genius. I have listened to this audiobook like 70 times. I hope she makes a million more.

Very listenable

I like the tropes, but there were absolutely no redeeming qualities in either of the main characters. The female character is stupid. The male character is a spoiled toddler. He verbally and physically abuses the FMC..yet she never reports it to anyone. The other ball players didn’t report it either. She could have had the guy arrested and sued the team. But nope, just a spineless moron. Poorly written and it sounded like the narrator is a robot reading an instruction manual half the time, screeching the other half. Overall just awful.

Sucked
