Leave Me Behind

A Dark Forces Standalone

De: K. M. Moronova

Narrado por: Isabelle Turner, Walker Williams

Nell Gallows is the sole survivor of an elite dark forces squad, Riøt, after a detrimental attack two years ago.

Unsurprisingly, she's being put up as the top candidate for the special ops team Malum, the squad that goes where no one else will or can. There's only one problem: Malum blames their one casualty from the Patagonia mission on the Riøt squad.

So what is she to do when she finds herself on a plane to California and on her way to a sure death sentence? A one-night stand. At least, that's all it was supposed to be—one last night to be free. Only, she finds out too late that the dark and mysterious man she solely wanted as a fling is not only her new comrade but also the one she dreaded meeting most—her immediate superior and untouchable devil in the field. Bones.

He's hell on earth—cruel and unforgiving, but most of all, he hates her, and he makes sure she knows it. And yet, she finds herself unwilling to leave his side when he's unable to get to the evac point when their mission goes awry.

She stays behind with the devil and the secrets he keeps. They only have one another to trust when no faith is left.

This book had me in every feel.

This is what true enemies to lovers are made of. The emotion really came through. Bringing the writing to life. I don’t think I’ve been so emotionally concerned for characters at every corner. Cannot express how glad I was to finally get to listen to the audiobook.

Oh my goddddd

This was sooo good. I loved every part of it, even though I got frustrated sometimes 🤣 I hope there’s a second book for Erin

Outstanding-MUST READ

This book had me on the verge of tears and the edge of my seat the entire time. It was one of the most breathtakingly but beautifully tragic love story. Bunny & Bones will forever live rent free in my mind.

As this was my first dark military romance book, it was phenomenal. Perfectly written, smooth flowing plot, huge plot twist that literally had my eyes wide open.

Bunny is a riot soldier who lost her squad and has been reassigned to a new squad and must prove herself physically and loyally to them. Bones is psychologically twisted and insane but finds himself falling for Bunny. She brings him sanity amongst the madness in his mind. While he unravels her sanity.

The only good riot solider is a dead one.

Or so they say.

Been waiting not so patiently!! 💛

I’ve had this preordered since it was available and I was not disappointed!! I’ve loved every second of it. The way I swooned when Bones finally got a chapter. Absolutely worth the wait.

This book was a black bullet to my heart

I think the thing I love the most about KMs books is that she doesn't shy away from writing about characters facing mental health issues. I love that she talks about mental health issues and gives light to the darkness of them in a way that shows everyone struggling with their own mental health issues that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This book was everything I didn't know I needed and more. I loved that two broken people found something amazing to live for in each other after struggling alone in their own darkness for so long. The plot twists were absolutely amazing and I honestly never saw them coming so I was on the edge of my seat for the last 10-15 chapters of this book for sure. If you haven't read any of her books then I definitely recommend picking this one up and giving it a chance.

I'm unsure

This books was a fun listen. I was really excited for this book when I read the description. After having finished it I have some mixed feelings. I didn't feel like her and Bradshaw really had the relationship growth show as well as I would have liked. 3/4 of their interaction he's not talking to her and the other fourth he's trying to attack her. Her and Jenkins had more growth, I would have rather her have ended up with him all the flash backs built their relationship up so well. Definitely ended up with the wrong character. In a book of morally black characters I would have loved the really twisted ones to win.

Unsure

I was very excited for the book. Went into it completely blind. Definitely enjoyed it. I feel like the narrators did a good job.

Perfection!

This book was absolute perfection! If you love a good bully romance this one is it!

THE PLOT

SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS THIS HAS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!

Delicious

Wow. The way this book had me gripped and locked in was insane. This book was unlike anything I’ve ever read (or listened to)
