Publisher's summary

Everly emerged from the shadows of disgrace and rejection, not just surviving but thriving. She’s forged an empire from the scorned and the forgotten. Everly, cast aside by her own pack, faced a path that should have led to her ruin. Yet, in the face of betrayal and adversity, she didn't break; instead, she forged herself into something powerful.

But the past isn’t easily forgotten.

Alpha Valen, a man haunted by regret, reappears, seeking redemption. He finds a woman unbroken, unclaimed, and unparalleled. Valen is fighting for love and acceptance in Everly’s world, where strength is born from betrayal, and power rises from the ashes of heartbreak.

Everly’s battle is two-fold—a public fight for the dignity of the rogues and a private war against the magnetic pull of a mate bond she neither wants nor trusts. Valen thought he could claim her, but he’s met with a reality where the woman before him wasn’t to be claimed but respected, a force not to be contained but reckoned with.

Trigger Warning

This book contains sensitive content including SA, grief, loss, and violence. Listener discretion is advised as some may find these topics triggering.

However, much like the first book, these girls can survive anything, and everything and come out stronger for it.

the narrators

The story had me laughing, crying and just over all I couldn't stop listening to it. The chemistry between the two narrators was awesome. The bloopers at the end was a added bonus.

Great all around

The story was so entertaining. I thought the first book was great but the second book did not disappoint. It's a fantasy book that just felt like someone's true story. The experience was detailed in a lot of ways. the narration was excellent. The inflections in the voices when characters changed, the way the two narrator's play off of each other and connected with the authors words. I loved this experience.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

I have already this book - at this point have listened to it a couple times already (I absolutely LOVE this book) chapter 7 has me blubbering like a fool - every single time. I laughed, I cried, I awwwwwed, and I blubbered.
The narrators are phenomenal AND let’s not forget bloopers!

Boring part 2 + rant from author in chapter 35

The first 6 hours of the book are very boring. I tuned out many times. While I'm not the biggest fan of the narrators, they still do a good job. The female narrator's tone often seems mechanical and the different in her tone during the chapter vs. her chapter announcements are funny. She temporarily flips a switch between the somber moments and for a brief moment becomes a ray of sunshine. LOL.

In Chapter 35, the author took the liberty of beating the reader with their opinions about poverty and abortion. I'm listening to a book to escape, so I'm annoyed that this was included, and I'll be sure to avoid this author in the future. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs, and I listen to authors will different stances, I just don't appreciate feeling like I'm being preached at. The world we live in is exhausting right now (this book was published in 2024). While some will feel that I'm overstating this, for me, I'm not. All day we're hammered with things.

I'm disappointed by this book and I'm not certain when or if I will finish it. If I do, I will update my review if something changes. For now, I think I'll move on.
