Publisher's summary

Aston Locke

Whispers of the Locke brothers fill the town, facts and reality twisted to fit what these motherf--kers believe they know about us.

That we’re sadistic bastards, incapable of any real emotions or fear.

Maybe they’re not wrong about that.

That is, until I set my sights on Kadence King, getting just as drawn to her as I am the darkness. It’s the first time I’ve felt anything in a long time.

But would she really be scared knowing the depth, the lengths I go with my brothers to make any f--ker who crosses us pay?

I need a woman who can accept me for who I am. For what I am.

I’m hoping like hell it’s her, because I want nothing more than to claim her as mine....

Kadence King

I know Aston’s dangerous, know people fear him. But I want him. I’m drawn to him, just as he’s drawn to the darkness.

I should be afraid of him, should turn the other way, but I can’t. I’ve gone mad and let him in my room, in my life, allowing him to consume me.

He possesses me, dominates me. Aston Locke shows me what it means to want to be claimed by him and only him.

And when he tells me I'm his, I have no doubt that’s the truth.

Because in the end it’s what I want too. No matter how dangerous he is....

Warning: Damaged Locke is a short co-written, kind of twisted love story from New York Times best-selling author Victoria Ashley and USA Today best-selling author Jenika Snow. If you like it hot and a little rough...this is the book for you. Age 18+

I was Locked in!

A great series beginner. This was really good and it does leave you wanting more. Aston and Cadence are a great fit for each other. Narration is definitely on point.

Freaking Awesome

I am officially in love! I will definitely be seeking more by these authors. Damaged Locke is seriously hot, jammed packed full of smoking hot fun it's a book all will want to read.

Short and Steamy!

This was my first Victoria Ashley and Jenika Snow's book. This is the first book in The Locke Brothers Series. This story is short, steamy and fast-paced. This is a good start for this Series. Aston and Kadence share an instant-lust-love. We can tell that the Locke Brothers aren't gentle with everyone. Not at all. They are brutal and they are doing what it took to protect their family. The narration was well done as always with Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. I enjoyed my listening. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Short but sweet

This was my first read by the Authors, It jumped right in to the point and that’s a plus for me as I get anxious when stories start out boring and slow.
Things could have been a little more discriotive in terms of character development and the sex scenes. I became a fan of the Locke Brothers and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Loving those Lockes!

This first book of the series is just long enough to leave you wanting. We meet Aston, the youngest of the the Lockes, and the one that is being protected by his brothers. Not to be smothered, Aston does step out to protect those who need it and he sees Kadence King. The attraction between the two is immediate, and the insta-lust is strong. But will she be willing to be claimed by one of the infamously, dangerous Locke brothers? We get a glimpse into the brothers with this story, their history and their alpha tendancies. It's a quick, steamy listen with everything I love about Victoria Ashley's writing. This being a collaboration with Jenika Snow makes me want to look for more, to get to know the others and explore how this family has come to have the reputation they do. It's sure to be an fun ride! With the explosive narration by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross, you know it's one you will not want to miss!

Dangerous, Naughty and Oh So Delicious!

The Locke brothers are dangerous, mysterious and destructive but you can't help to get drawn in and want to know more. Aston is the youngest Locke brother and has had his fair share of damage and turmoil. Then one destructive night Kadence the bada** that she is gets entrigued and sets her sights on Aston. She knows it's dangerous to get close to a Locke but that doesn’t stop her. You can't judge a Locke by their name because they are so much more than most people in their town think they are. They are caring, loyal, protective and family orientated yet you don't want to cross them. The have a strong bond with each other that's indestructible. Aston is just so hot and dark. Everyone has there own story and what makes them tick and act the way they do and Aston’s reason is so heart breaking. You'll eagerly go through the story wanting to pull back the layers of Aston's complex life. I'm glad that he has the support of his brothers because he'd be screwed without them holding him together and getting him to where he is. I'm so excited for everyone to read this book. Victoria and Jenika are bringing us a new set of book boyfriends that we will no don't fall in love with one by one. I already have and it's only the first book. I can't wait for what is to come from this series because what they created is special and pure magic. Well done ladies you sure knew how to bring us a story that is different and consuming. I'm hooked! Bring on the rest of the Lockes! I... NEED... MORE... NOW!!!!

Steamy

For the insta love fans, this is winner. I do like insta love, but I also like to have more of a connection between the H/h. Don't get me wrong, it is a good solid 4 star story, but it just felt like there was something missing between the youngest Locke and Kadence. The audio narration was great as always with Kai and Wen.

Too much

This was just over the top. The “bad boy” image of the main character was nauseating and unbelievable. The possessiveness of the main character over the female character was borderline criminal and a big turn off. Yikes. I couldn’t finish the book.

Another Fabulously Awesome Book

Ok, so I love the youngest Locke brother and his tale of love, but I'm not clawing for the next brother's book. Aston and Kadence's chemistry was felt from the very first time they laid eyes on one another. This is an insta-like book. I don't want to love because I don't feel like that is the case but the attraction and chemistry is undeniable. This is a gritty, raw book from to awesome authors. I can't wait to see how the other Locke brother's books turn out! Wen and Kai hit it on the head with the narration. They were the perfect ones to bring life to Kadence and Aston!!

Youngest Locke finds love

This is book 1 of 3 and we have Aston Locke who is the youngest of the three brothers. Everyone fears the Locke brothers but people don't really know the real truth of who of what they do. Kadence has had a tragic life and when she sees the brothers leaving her neighbors home with blood on them she is drawn to the youngest. Even though she knows she shouldn't she can't help but be intrigued. When he saves her she is a goner and her world changes.

Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott does a great job with Aston and Kadence. I love listening to their voices and they are spot on with the story.

I enjoyed this audiobook and look forward to the next ones.
