Publisher's summary

Bonjour, my name is André Chevalier. It has been my joy and my great honor to help those who have lost their way. Not long after I began my journey, I met two such wounded souls.

Renata Koreman is my little mouse. She came to me as a child - shy, mute, injured, and broken. It took oh-so-many years to start to bring her back to herself. Yet, I could not fully heal her.

Years later, Grant Wilkinson, he, too, fell into my hands. The ex-Army Ranger was badly disfigured and saw himself as a monster. Isolated by secrets, solitary, and self-contained, his colleagues affectionately named him "Frosty". Yet, how should one behave when besieged by a lifetime of confusion and guilt?

The moment I saw him, I thought of her and I wondered. The eyes, they cannot always see clearly. And the heart? Ah, the heart can only guess at the truth. So it was that I remained uncertain.

Could the mouse and the monster heal each other?

Behind a backdrop of secrets, scandal, and murder, Abuse: The Complete Trilogy (Abuse, Accuse, Avenge) is a realistic journey full of healing, twists, turns, and surprises.

Bless the narrator’s heart but…

I loved the story and the narrator, but if the read requires French, I think the narrator should either speak at least a little, or be able to imitate it AND the accent. His mispronunciation of French words was so very bad that it was distracting. “Voilà” became “Voy-LAY!” The accent sounded more German than French. Very unbelievable. I don’t mean to be high maintenance because he is one of my favorite narrators but the other narrator that reads several other books in this series is clearly a French speaker. He was able to demonstrate the character’s humor and personality.

The story was amazing. This author continues to amaze me with the complexity of her characters and the deep dives she does into very complex and emotional issues. When modern erotica is typically vapid and gratuitous, her books are emotional stories that use erotica to provide context and depth.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

I absolutely loved these stories! I found these stories to be very emotional, intense and full of steam. I think Nikki Sex took a hard topic to approach (Child Abuse) and shed new light on he subject. She really gave the readers information to ponder. I like that you get all the stories in this one book. The narration was superb and gave that extra flair to the story, really kept you entertained. This author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I love this author's style of writing. I have read quite a few books by this author and enjoyed them as well. I can't wait to read more of her books! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Intriguing

This books was very intense. The scenes were very detailed. The characters had great chemistry. They bond over there duel abuse as a children. It’s very hot and heavy. The long problem I had was it very long I had trouble staying focused at times but I’m glad I stayed with it. It was very sexy and erotic.

Intriguing, Romantic, Sexy and Educational

This book touched me personally in an unexpected way. Having been a victim of similar abuse myself I found this book to be rather educational and emotionally gratifying. The love story between two damaged souls, the abusers, the survivors, the messed up families... Nikki did her homework.

Be prepared to get emotionally involved in this series. There were times I would have loved to reach through the pages and punch certain characters, there were times I was laughing out loud. I was truly into this book.

Roberto did a great job narrating! I was able to feel what/how the characters were reacting to each situation. I was able to tell the difference between each character. Well done!

Emotionally Driven, Powerful Narration and Story

I've been waffling about this book and series for as long as it's been out, and trying to get up the courage to read it. I knew going into this story that it was going to be heart-breaking, so when I saw it was available as an audiobook, I wanted to listen. I listened in the car, in bed at night, and honestly wished I could have listened to the 30+ hours without stopping.

I balled my eyes out within the first few chapters, and felt gutted and torn apart throughout the whole story, but I'm really glad that I had this dark story a chance.

Roberto Scarlato is a new-to-me narrator, and I loved his different accents. They had the story come even more alive for me.

suspenseful romance

Way better than I expected after listening to Elizabeth's Bondage. The story moved along nicely leaving you wanting to keep listening to find out what happened next.

Loved it

This is an awesome dark erotic story that has the background that many people have been through. It will be at the top of my listen too again list!!!

Mr. Scarlato does a freaking AMAZING job

Audio-book: Narrator - Roberto Scarlato

Wow! Mr. Scarlato does a freaking AMAZING job of narrating this story!!! He did both male and female perfectly which can be a difficult task. On top of that, he does a remarkable job of Andre’s French voice. Even the chapter openers were done with consideration to the accents and tones of the person who was being quoted. The detailing of this narration was unlike any I have listened to before!


Abuse

Wow, this one has so much pain and heartache. I loved these characters and the connection they immediately feel for one another. Andre is definitely a keeper and I respected the heck out of the way he helped both Renata and Grant. So many secrets to be revealed and I can’t wait to continue on into Accuse.


Accuse

Renata and Grant grow closer as the story covers so many layers of psychological healing through connecting with another person. As a sexual surrogate, Renata helps to lead Grant to a place where he is able to open up through communication as well as sexually. There isn’t a lot to the backstory of being “accused” but some groundwork is laid. This has a lot of sex in it, but there is so much more to it as well. Obviously, this author has tremendous experience in the mental health care system or did an incredible job of researching the topic.

I am totally in love with both of these characters as they move through their past issues and push forward into the future. Cannot wait to learn what the “mystery” will eventually reveal.


Avenge

Holy wow! This one just blew me away as all the mysteries are revealed. The secrets run deeper than I ever expected! Grant and Renata learn to rely on each other as they move through the obstacles that arise. With Andre’s advice in the forefront of their minds, they both struggle to make decisions and changes that will help to alter their current life as well as their futures.

There is a ton of sex as Grant continues to work through some of his issues but I loved how Renata was always attuned to his needs. The secondary characters play a bigger role and were done in an exceptional manner, supporting the plotline and helping to move the story along.

I truly enjoyed everything about this book and this series.
