Buttons and Hate

By: Penelope Sky

Narrated by: Samantha Cook, Michael Ferraiuolo

Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's Summary

I'm working off my buttons.

But I'm also giving them away.

The more I fall for Crow, the more I want him to do the things that I want. Dinners, dates, and evenings at the beach.

Everything comes at a price, and quickly the hoard of buttons I worked hard to earn are depleted.

Will this go back and forth forever? Or will someone run out of their buttons first?

Buttons in a jar

This is the second book in this series and it was as wonderful as the first. I love Button. She is strong, determined and brilliant. Crow is sexy, disturbing and just as smart. They are equals in every way. I love Penelope Sky's writing. She brings this story to life with beautiful descriptions and imagination. The sex scenes are smoking hot and the violence is well placed throughout the book. I am impatiently waiting on book three and want it now.
The voice actors, Samantha Cook and Michael Ferraiuolo are excellent in these roles. Samantha Cook is Button, she is so well suited to her. Michael Ferraiuolo has one of the sexiest and most expressive, though subtle voices in romance audiobooks today. I am anxious for more from this team or author and actors♥️🖤

What a stupid story!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If there was a substance to the story besides repeated pornographic descriptions.

Would you ever listen to anything by Penelope Sky again?

Absolutely not.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Narrators were fine.

Any additional comments?

I bought this book because of the 4.5 star rating. I am not sure how to trust the rating systems anymore. The description said it was a psychological suspense. I thought it was a cheap porn.

Left me hanging..

I absolutely loved this book and in the end it said "Buttons and Pain is available now".... searched everywhere to find out it's not available until MAY 16th!!! Whatttt?!?! Why the heck would you say it's available when it's not??? I am not a patient person so I'm so sad when I thought I could move on with the Pearl and Crow saga :(

Really great Read

Even though this is a dark love story, it has its moments of beauty. These are twisted up people finding their own way with affection, and while this isn't a sweet feel good type of story, there are moments of sweetness, and there are moments that make you feel good.

The author has bridged the gap with this book, the gap that usually makes you feel pretty sick after the darker story lines with something different. While this type of love isn't for everyone, it is right for the two in the book.

The performers were great. Not one complaint. Both of them read beautifully and with just the right amount of emotion. I'm buying book three now and hoping its as good as this one :)

Ugh

Damn it! You know I have to read book 3! I am so sucked in at this point. Here's to a couple more late nights or early early mornings staying up. I'm in love with the twist and turns of this series.

Completely absorbed

This series is everything!!

From start to finish, I didn’t breathe, I didn’t eat, I didn’t smile, I didn’t do anything... ok, maybe I’m lying. But it felt like it.

For days, I was in a trance. My earbuds glued to my ears as I made my way through this epic, dark, twisty and angsty journey. I got little sleep because I just couldn’t put it down. I can’t even review separately because I couldn’t stop long enough between books to review.

And that is no joke.

Michael and Samantha couldn’t have been more perfect. They portrayed all characters so distinctly that I knew exactly who was speaking at all times and that couldn’t have been easy. They are truly talented.

Great 2nd Book

So glad I continued this series. This second book was excellent. Just as good as the first. Suspense from beginning to end. The ending of this second book leaves you on a cliff hanging. Looks like I'll have to move on to the next in the series. The narrators were great with this story. They performed this book beautifully.

Just as good as the first!

Just as the first book brought me so much enjoyment, this one was no exception. Of course, my exasperation over the extreme level of delusion Crow is under has me wanting to shake an imaginary character, but that's why I love this series. After the last triology I read, I was eager to find another where I felt integrated into the storyline and invested in it. I have that with Pearl and Crow. But Crow really needs to get it together... he's messing up big time. One thing I really enjoyed was Cain's character. He was one that I wanted to hate and then I wanted to thank him for trying to talk sense into his brother. The author has surprised and delighted me, and as a result I will continue to buy the audio books for this series. The plot was unpredictable, the characters unpredictable, and the writing was excellent. Also, I must say I love the voice actors as well, although the male's impression of Pearl always makes me chuckle a bit. Onward and upward, to the next book I go!
In closing: DEFINITELY worth the read and the money. I will pay $14 for the 7 hours of enjoyment any day of the week.

Great can't wait for Buttons & Pain

I'm in love with this series. I can't get enough of this author. Just speak less.

Thoughts about this book.

A truly inspirational story. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. I hope button and crow finally come together. And I hope bones gets his commupance. Great book I definitely recommend anyone to read.xxx
