Love Me Damaged

A Dillon Sisters Standalone

By: Layla Frost

Narrated by: Desireé Ketchum, Joe Arden

From USA Today bestselling author Layla Frost comes a twisty age-gap romance about finding exactly what your depraved heart needs…

Surviving negligent parents and childhood cancer didn't make me stronger. It sure as hell didn't make me a fighter.

It left me effed up. A hot mess. Haunted.

But he didn't think so.

Alexander Thornton was a tech genius. Philanthropist. Charmingly sweet and devastatingly handsome.

And—for some insane reason—he was into me.

He thought my imperfections were what made me perfect. He loved my flaws. My quirks.

My scars.

He saw me at my worst and loved me damaged.

Which made me wonder…

Was he damaged, too?

Stalking and healing

How can there be a story with sickness and healing and stalking and spice and animals all in one? Well here it is!
This story was soo good! And again truly enjoyed the narrators!

Such a good ending

I absolutely loved this. Not only was the narration done brilliantly but the material was so good. This book was amazing. It really did a great job of ending the duet. I love Layla Frost’s work and this was a little different but oh so good. It just made me want to reread everything all over again. This will be a book I read again later on.

Surprised Stalker Romance

Love Me Damaged by Layla Frost. This is my first book to read by Layla. After reading book 1, I was excited to see Briar’s story. It was good to understand her character. Taking such an unspoken topic and shedding light on it in a way that I felt to my soul. This book was absolutely amazing. I loved following the story line and losing myself in the weird twisted way of the world created. Alexander is amazing and what a character to fall for but this book made me absolutely love Briar. I never thought I would be into a dark romance, but I highly recommend this series. This book had drama, growth, spice, love and understanding.

Great story line

hard to follow in the audible version, feels like it missed out on some major parts.

Intense and Riveting

Damaged is a part of Duet, but can be read as a standalone. Deathly is the other book in this duet and while not necessary, I would definitely recommend reading Aria’s book as well.
Damaged is an incredible story that is masterfully written and reads like a psychological thriller .... only better, because the chemistry between Alexander and Briar is scorching hot.
While brought up in money and luxury, Briar had endured an unspeakably damaging childhood, culminating in critical health issues. While desperately trying to hang on, and with the help of her sister, she is making baby steps in regaining control of her life. She meets Alexander at a crucial intersection of her life, and becomes his obsession.
The author gives us a captivating story with incredibly well developed characters, and I could not put this book down once I started reading it. The narration by Desiree Ketchum is phenomenal!

Dark, Sexy, and Oh So Twisted

The Angel of Mercy gets 5 stars!!!

This is a beautiful romance that is extremely damaged. It is full heavy topics, like depression, anxiety, and self-harm. But don't let that scare you away from a story that, while dark and twisted, is an amazing love story between a hunky tech mogul and his obsession.

A fucked-up worshiper praying at the altar of a damaged goddess.

Briar Dillon is but a step away from quitting life, she is troubled and depression. She is the definition of damaged. Her soul is tainted with trauma from her past and even with the love and care of her older sister and therapy, there is no fixing her.

Alexander Thorton, a "tech-nerd" crosses paths with Briar. Little does she know, she immediately became his obsession. When she fails to hide her despair, he knows exactly what she needs.

The audiobook of Damaged is narrated by Joe Arden and Desiree Ketchum. These two narrators were absolutely stellar! Desiree was a badass carrying a large amount of this story on her shoulders. She beautifully brought Briar to life and you could really feel all of Briar's struggles, pain, and fears coming through your headphones. The performance is her best to date. If there is a Joe that is my favorite, it's dark and twisted Joe. He really brought Alexander and all his complex layers to life. Both Joe and Desiree knocked this one out of the park!

This book was fantastic. It was dark, it was sexy, the chemistry between Briar and Alexander was so alluring it was undeniable and inevitable. It has a heroine in need of redemption, a hero that would do anything for her, unexpected twists, and a very satisfying HEA. If you like all of that and then some, this is the book for you. This was my first book by Layla Frost and it certainly won't be my last.

Good book, warning about mental health triggers.

I stepped out of my comfort zone with this one but it was still good! I am normally weary about books with characters with mental health issues but I think the author was very careful not to make light of the topic.

The narrators were excellent, especially Desiree Ketchum! Her voice is very pretty and she told this story with so much feeling.

A enthralling read

You fall in love with the MC's. The Narration is superb. Many twists and turns and just reels you in and keeps you hooked till the end.

I like ... but the other was better.

I like this one however the other one was so much better.. This one is just too chill there's not enough twists and turns or violence. I liked the beginning when there was mystery and then when it took the mystery away it was kind of bland.. Still a good read to complete the series.

Great narration

I enjoyed everything about this book! It came me on my toes the entire time.
