Publisher's summary

How far would you go to save someone you love? Would you give up your body? Your mind? Your heart? I did and it cost me everything.

He says he owns me. And it's true. I've signed over complete control of my body and life for six months to a man I don't know. Five years he's been planning this. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But my blackmailer serves it up white hot. He's addicted to my innocence, and I'm addicted to him. He likes to hurt me. I love to let him. He brings me to life. He sets me free. He makes my heart feel things it shouldn't. But he also scares me. He holds the fate of my brother's life in his hands. A life behind bars for crimes I know he didn't commit. My blackmailer can't give up his revenge on my family, and I can't be with him if he doesn't. But I'm nothing more than a butterfly caught in his net. Do I really have a choice?

On the edge of a cliff

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

That being said, I listen to 3-4 books a week and A Zavarelli and Tracy Marks are on autonomic download for me. Although there is a cliff hanger with this read, I enjoyed the entire ride, even when the subject matter was hard core. I felt the teaser was spot on.

Tracy brings each character to life for me and each has a unique sound within the book. I am very much looking forward to the next segment.

What did you love best about Echo: A Dark Billionaire Romance?

Tracy Marks`s, for real this chick has me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what`s going to happen next.

What other book might you compare Echo: A Dark Billionaire Romance to and why?

Ok, I found several parts of this book to be very similar to FSOG, in saying this I still enjoyed it but I felt at times like I was having flashbacks. LOL

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yeah I pretty much did listen to it in one sitting, I`m a big fan of this author and Tracy Marks they work well together.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy by the author, narrator or publisher.

Loved it!

Several twists in the story. Similar initial story lines to other books like it - man with emotional issues, innocent girl, dominant situation. However it was different in other ways. She learns her independence and how to distrust those she previously trusted. Definitely going to buy the next one.

Very dark romance

This is indeed a very dark and twisted romance. The story centers around a set of twins caught up in the middle of two mafia families. Brighton the girl is loved by the son of the other family and her twin brother is in a battle with him. There are many dark sex scenes in the story and even though it is more than eight hours long it ends with a cliffhanger. I got this ARC via audiobook boom

Dark and Light

God damn one person can only take so much!!! A Zavarelli you just put me in the washer and purposely left me on the spin cycle!! I read a few reviews before I bought this book and most of them compared to 50 shades. THIS BOOK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 50 SHADES. this book is UNIQUE and STAND ON ITS OWN MERIT. I was kept on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and the cliffhanger oooohhh boy that was a biggie. I'm like Norma right now clawing for my next fix lol.Tracy Marks is a a god send, her narration is impeccable she is able to bring every character to life. This book definitely worth a credit if you don't have it get it!!!

Really interesting and exciting read!

I really enjoyed this book! It kept you in the edge and had surprising turn of events! I hope nobody had this kinda messed up family drama going on, I can't wait to continue reading❤👍

5 Twisted stars!

Echo is book one in the Bleeding Hearts series. It is dark and features an anti-hero who only has one thing in mind, revenge. In comes Brighton, she's sweet and innocent and far too trusting in my opinion. All those things make her the perfect pawn in Rylands twisted game. She's caught in his web of lies and deceit but she will do anything to save her twin brother. The real question becomes how far is Ryland willing to go to get his revenge? Is he willing to truly hurt Brighton? This book is full of twists and turns, just when you think you have Ryland figured out he surprises you. Be prepared for the cliffhanger ending!

Tracy Marks is a very talented narrator and that in combination with A. Zavarelli's superb writing this is and audiobook that you can truly get lost in. I'm looking forward to the next book.

*This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

Dark, twisted, and oh so sexy!

Wickedly dark and twisted, Echo is a wild ride of smoking hot sex mixed in with a bit of suspense and intrigue. It's a brilliant revenge drama that explores what happens when love gets in the way of dark intentions. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

I'll skip the breakdown since so many other reviewers have covered the main points and just tell you that I loved this dark romance!

Here's what I absolutely loved:
Ryland! OMG, this man is twisted, dangerous, and commanding. I want him! His drive and need for revenge is a bit of a character flaw, but his feelings and protectiveness for Brighton more than makes up for it.

The plot and execution - The twisty turns of the plot really kept me on my feet. There was never a dull moment with this one. It's a brilliantly dark masterpiece.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Echo! My only mistake was not reading the blurb or reviews before diving in. I had no idea I'd be in cliffy hangover hell afterward. I need the next audiobook yesterday!

Audiobook Review: The audiobook is narrated by Tracy Marks. Tracy perfectly executes each characters point of view. She is a master at making each one sound distinct. The emotions really came through during the performance. I highly recommend any of her audiobooks!

I rate it: 4.5 Stars

I loved this whole audiobook, the suspense had me hooked from beginning to end. The narration was fantastic as well.

Any additional comments?

A. Zavarelli is an automatic download for me, I've yet to be disappointed with one of her books. While this may have a cliffhanger I'm not mad, I'll wait as long as I get more from this story, I didn't want it to end! Such a great listen.
