Length: 9 hrs and 1 min

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.

Anticlimactic

I’m left wanting more of something. I don’t know what it is but the story was just missing something. The scenes were hot as hell, and there were a lot of it. But it just didn’t deliver what I hoped for after reading the description and all the comments.

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.

Scary and Interesting

This story of pain is not for the faint of heart. I’ve never read anything like it. Hard for me to picture the pleasure that derived from the piercings depicted in this text.

Still: I enjoyed the catharsis from trauma. Stronger in the broken places, as Hemingway asserted.

Not my cup of tea

I actually liked the plot around the two main characters and the Plot B drama with MMC's brother. That kept it interesting so it wasn't boring. The smut was not anywhere near my cup of tea so I mostly fast forwarded through that.
