Lie Next to Me

By: Sandi Lynn

Narrated by: Kasha Kensington

From the New York Times, USA Today & Wall Street Journal best-selling Author…

A USA Today best-selling Novel…

The pain was unbearable, but I had to keep moving. I had to keep running, because if I didn't, he'd find me. I looked behind me as I ran through the streets; scared, alone, and in the dark as the mist of rain hit my face. There was no time to think, and there was no time to stop. My shoes were soaked as they sloshed through the puddles of the dimly lit streets.

My name is Rory Sinclair, and the night I was violently attacked was the night that changed my life forever. One man, a man named Ian Braxton, made it his mission to heal me, to save me, and to show me a world that previously had been only a dream to me.

Ian Braxton is far from perfect. He's a self-absorbed, demeaning, arrogant, and womanizing millionaire. He makes it so easy to hate him, but so very hard to resist him. We're from opposite sides of the spectrum. He comes from money and I come from poverty. When our worlds collide, his struggles become mine, and mine become his, leaving us with one question:

How much would you give up to be with someone who was meant to be yours?

so good!

The angst in this one almost killed me but I really enjoyed this story! Great narration!


I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it.

Powerful story with angst and emotion

I am always as amazed at the narrator's ability to capture the essence and flavor of characters as I am at how well author's bring characters so vividly into you as you read or listen to the story. Me Kensington was awesome at slipping in and out of each person a as you heard the intricacy of the relationship between Ian and Aurora (Rory) swirl into a rollercoaster of emotions. Ian was undoubtedly a total assets who fought with all he had his growing love for Rory. I often thought Rory was just too darn easy with Ian, but it truly was her useless love for him that broke through his every barrier. I say bravo to both author and narrator for a great romance experience.

Book one and it's a doozy!

Wow Sandi has done it again. Lie Next To Me is Ian and Rory's story. It's very different to the Forever Black series, it's more raw, your emotions go crazy and you're sucked into the story right from the beginning, I savoured every word.

Ian Braxton is arrogant, sexy, rich, powerful and at times frustrating. He saves Aurora aka Rory, he takes her home to care for her. You soon see what kind of person he is deep down, he might be closed off emotionally but you see how caring and gentle he can be. I started to wonder why he would take a stranger into his home and care for her so deeply when he didn't know a thing about her.

Rory's life was anything but easy, she has so much to deal with but remains strong and tries her best under the circumstances. After her attack she wouldn't tell Ian who'd done it, and what haunts her dreams. Everyone needs someone right? Ian is the one person she wants to rely on and get close to, however that can't happen in his eyes.

They have a hard battle ahead of them in more ways than one. Can two people from such different lives let each other in and make each other whole?

A beautifully written story with a roller coaster ride of emotion. I can't wait to read the next book.

narrator annoying

If you want to hear the word smile over a thousand times then it won't annoy you. I found the way the narrator said it highly annoying. Other than that not bad.

Meant to be.....or Wishful thinking

A strong alpha man turns up at the right time. Can is lifestyle change when the woman he saves comes into it?? There are so many reasons for Rori not to stay with a man that wants to control her thoughts and actions . Will she be able to break through his issues?^
