Length: 9 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's Summary

A dark mafia romance.

When Gabriel broke down my door, he took over my body and life. Never with force, but always with clever manipulation. He stripped me of my independence, my defenses, and my clothes and turned me into an addict. My addiction is him.

Once, I had dreams and a future. Now, I have fears, scars, and insatiable needs. I’m damaged beyond repair, but if I’m to survive the most dangerous man in Johannesburg, I can’t allow him to break me, because broken toys are destined for the garbage dump.

Consent is the second and final full-length novel in a duology. The first book, Dubious, must be heard in order to follow the story.

Critic Reviews

"Perversely hot, gritty, and richly textured, Valentina and Gabriel's story is one of the best dark romances I've read." (Anna Zaires, New York Times best-selling author)

5 stars are not enough

The story is intriguing and I could not stop listening. Excellent. Had me hanging on edge!! A purchase you won't regret.

Just great

This story has it all. A great plot, great narration. Don‘t waste your time. Get it now. You will not regret it. This is worth more than five stars.

AMAZING!!!!

I LOVED THIS SERIES. AMAZING HOW LOVE CAN FIND AWAY... i DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I LOVE CAPTIVE TO LOVERS STORIES. THIS ONE IS WORTH A CREDIT.

Great End

So worth the wait for book 2 on Audible! Loved the ending to Gabe and Valentina's story! Loved both narrators and their accents!

Loved It

What a great ending to this duet. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. There was just enough angst to keep you on edge and hotness to keep you drooling! I liked how the drama was kept minimal, no long drawn out push and pull but enough to keep the story alive and real. Would Love to hear more from this author.

5 stars!

I did not expect this follow up to break me! It did though. Valentina already having suffered enough before just keeps getting dealt blow after blow. The difference from this and the first one is that Gabriel too suffers. I fell in love with Quincy and Rhett in this book. I wish we could get their stories too. As for Charlie my heart breaks for him as well. He is very lucky to have such a loving sister. Will Gabriel be able to redeem himself? You'll have to listen and find out for yourself.

Narration was once again great! Sometimes accents are hard to follow but that is not the case with these narrators.

Liked this series

I like the series I do think that the second book was 2 1/2 hours longer than it needed to be. Otherwise, the book series was good. Like the female voice actor, the male voice actor was OK, but he wasn’t horrible.

AAAHH SO GOOD!!

Suspected this is an age gap 😉 15 years. 🤣 this turned from an intense drama into a reality TV show!! Then 💣💥💥!! 💔😭😔 This series is an emotional rollercoaster. My heart breaks for Gabriel 😢❤️
Warning for suicide, rape, and pregnancy complications.

Dark and Dirty!!

I loved this Duet!! The suspense kept me hooked! I love that the lead man wasn’t a handsome man but a scared twisted man that lured her love and desire. What a great plot! I really enjoy all of her books! MUST READ if you like dark and twisted.

Great!!

This was such a roller coaster! I loved this duet so much! It has a bit of everything. And angst!! Oh the angst! It was wonderful.

Amazing Story with Sizzle

You will need to read book 1 and 2 but it is well worth the credits.

One of the best duet books I have read it kept flowing.

Great story!

Really enjoyed book 1 and this book 2! Had to keep listening until I had completed both books. Great narrators also, thank you x.

hooked

loved this book wished it went on for another book, will defo be reading more of this author 😀

Deliciously Dark

Wow this was amazing!!! Listened to the audio versions back to back and couldn’t get enough of this story. Great characters so many twists and turns. I especially love when it’s unpredictable and this certainly was. Definitely add this to your TBR lists. Great dark romance but with an exceptionally full and in depth story too.

Charmaine Pauls is a new go to author for me. I can’t wait to check out more of what she has to offer.

I have issues with men inflicting pain

would male character enjoy anal penetration? inserting shite covered penis in vagina? Really? Go figure.

Absolutely rubbish

One of the most stupid, far fetched utterly ridiculous stories I’ve ever had the misfortune to listen to
