Claiming the Runaway

De: Emma Bray

Narrado por: Erika Annette

He’s her fierce protector. She’s his sweetest obsession.

Hadley’s world shatters the night her stepdad sneaks into her room, and with nothing but fear gripping her heart, she bolts. She doesn’t care where she’s headed, as long as it’s far from the nightmare she’s escaping.

Damon’s instincts roar to life the second he spots her—lost, trembling, and too innocent for her own good. She’s an angel who’s fallen right into his path, and he’s a man with a past he can’t escape. A felon with no right to touch someone so pure, someone so tempting.

But Damon doesn’t just want to protect her. He wants to claim her, body and soul. And nothing, not even the darkness that haunts him, will stop him from getting what he craves.

If you love protective, alpha male heroes who will do anything to claim and protect their innocent heroines, then you're going to fall in love with this audiobook.

Sooooo good!!!

I absolutely LOVED it!! Damon is instantly obsessed and possessive of Hadley and SWOON!!! He's exactly what she needs after her disgusting stepdad tried to hurt her. I LOVED the narration! Highly recommend this book!

Hadley finds Damon

Hadley realized she waited too long to leave when her stepfather creeped in her room. She must get out before he stills what she still holds. She has no idea where to go, she is out of place in the bar. Damon see the frightened girl, she is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, he must help her.

She is too innocent for him. Damon is a likable character even though he has been in jail, he is just what she needs to stand up to her stepfather.

Trust your instincts.

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the mentions of drug abuse, assault, and attempted assault. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Randall was a piece of poo and totally deserved whatever consequences that he received. Hadley’s mom was pretty much the same. Hadley was used to fending for herself but still hoped that her mom would help her. Her stepdad was a slimeball and because of his actions she ended up on the street looking for somewhere to go to figure out her next step. Damon saw Hadley and stepped up to help her. They were attracted to each other immediately, but Damon was focused on finding out what she was running from. He was protective and possessive but also sweet. Damon offered Hadley safety and options that she greatly appreciated. The way that they got to know each other was great. The amount of time that they were able to spend together definitely helped. Damon had taken steps to ensure Hadley’s safety as much as possible. There was some drama and angst but it resolved well. I liked how the story ended. I recommend reading this book.

Listening to the audiobook was also very enjoyable. The narrator did a great job of differentiating the voices for the characters which helped bring the story to life. I recommend listening to this audiobook as well.

Loved it

I totally loved this story, the narrator was awesome, she was able to get so many emotions across. Hadley was so sweet and innocent. Damon is so very opposite, I think that’s why they work so well together. I know I want to listen to more of these short stories.
