Betrayal

Infidelity, Book 1

De: Aleatha Romig

Narrado por: Samantha Prescott, Brian Pallino

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree - no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli", she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren't for everyone. I understand that."

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive - he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one: one week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

Voice

she sounds as if she was an older woman. It would have been better for the voice to sound younger than the voice used.

OMG!! This 1st book of the series is awesome!!

I just bought the rest of the series and will listen to the rest of the books this week. OMG Charli And Nox!!

Unexpected

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but I love Aleatha Romig 's other books so I gave it a try and it was so good! It is a change what what I have been reading and it kept me engrossed in it. I seriously didn't put it down! I was either reading or listening straight through. I highly recommend this!!

Ugh, GOOD BOOK!

If you could sum up Betrayal in three words, what would they be?

Cant stop listening!

Any additional comments?

I love this series !!! im soo hooked that I cant wait for my monthly credit to buy the next book!!

Betrayal

I absolutely loved Aleatha's Consequences series and had no doubt that her Infidelity series would not disappoint. At first I could only read one chapter at a time because my mind was constantly anticipating what she had plotted out for Charli & Nox. My mind has been forever scarred by Tony. But a wise woman told me that Nox was NOTHING like Tony. She was right. He is the complete opposite. Once I got on a roll I could not put it down. I know it's been written before by the author but the title isn't as black & white as assumed. I was very happy to find out all 5 books are going to be about Charli & Nox. They spent one week together. No last names, no strings but that isn't enough. I can't wait to find out more about the things left unsaid about her family and what lies in Nox's past as well as their future together.

- "...since the first moment I saw you, I've made exceptions. I've done and said things that I do not, as a rule, do. You do that to me. You make me rebel even against myself."

AR IS A MAESTRO AT COMPLEX COMPELLING STORYTELLING

After listening to this brilliant, addictive and awesome first book in AR's new series I couldn't wait and went straight into book 2 thinking this is a Duet but it's a 5 part series that will stretch all year I'm sure, and maybe even beyond, so be warned because they both end in a nasty cliffhanger. Also, book 2 becomes so multi-layered as to stories, sub plots, then and now time frames and different POV's, that I may wait until all books are available.... oh who am I kidding - I bet I'll be so desperate to hear more from this very deep, dark and gripping series.

Alexandria (Alex) is from a well know wealthy Savannah family who are treated like royalty by many but Alex is haunted by her past and very resentful at being controlled and manipulated by her evil Stepfather (who, it's hinted, may have abused her too). Her Mother is no better - she was totally controlled by her own Father and then her husband and knows only how to be a good dutiful Southern wife who looks the other way while her husband cheats. Alex had left it all behind four years ago and has just graduated from Stanford and she's all set to go to Columbia Law School to become an Attorney. She, and her best friend, go on holiday to Del Mar.... where she will meet her destiny - Nox who is handsome, sexy, charismatic, mysterious and oozes the Alpha vibe.

Nox and Alex are instantly drawn to each other - their chemistry is radioactive and they agree, after a shaky start, to a one week affair with no strings, no expectations of more and absolutely no personal details. It takes a couple of days for them to just get to know one another but then, after that time, both were ready to take things to the next level.... turning the dial up with passion, heated kisses and lots and lots of hot sex. However, as they spend time together they grow closer and neither one really wanted to say goodbye..... but still they did.

Alex is called home after Del Mar unaware of the web of lies, tricks, manipulation and a life changing ultimatum that she's about to walk into.... it's unbelievable how low and loathsome her Stepfather is being and the BETRAYAL is devilish. But Alex has other plans.... plans that will once again bring her face to face with Nox - however the man she easily fell in love with in Del Mar is a very different person second time round.... and the rules have changed.

This was a great listen with colorful descriptions, it's mesmerizing, captivating and so addictive that I just didn't want to stop anywhere along Alex and Nox's various encounters and I was riveted to see what nasty surprises Alex's family would try to entrap her with next. Alex is a strong, motivated and determined character caught in a precarious situation unwilling to throw her dreams away so she tries to get out of it by joining a secret Club called Infidelity..... but this is when her whole world changes.... and the mysterious Nox comes back into her life. An assortment of secondary characters including a very annoying and dissatisfied ex and a fun loving BFF. Told in varying past/present chapters from Alex's POV except one chapter at the end from Nox's POV and the narration was great.

Worth a credit? Oh YES - this founding first stepping stone in the series lines up the Board and Players in Aleatha Romig's cleverly orchestrated strategic game where each move has consequences, heartache, dilemmas, losses and gains.... but who will ultimately win - and what will the cost be? I would give this 10 stars if I could.

Love her Writing

I love Aleatha Romig's writing.
She's very detailed. Her stories are interesting and make me want to know what's going to happen next. I always hurry to buy the next book.
P.S. I would love to have book 3 of this series on audio.
Thanks

Great Story Telling

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alexandria Collins. What a great character. She has spunk, and fire.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I loved the way this story unfolded. It was subtle, slow, and the buildup is incredible.

Any additional comments?

Aleatha Romig is such a great story teller. The voices were excellent. Samantha Prescott is such a great reader. She reminds me of my favorite narrator Jennifer Ikeda, and that is my highest compliment.
