Loved it

This book is so good and the story is very relatable and impactful. I really enjoyed listening to this book the only thing that would make it better would be duet narration instead of single. All and all I would certainly listen to this story again !! Warning you will be left on a BIG cliffhanger I can’t wait to hear book 2 !!!!

Chemistry

Check your triggers! We start out with a 911 call and end with a hospital trip… A year later Olivia is still in the same situation … when Luke seen Olivias marks from her lawyer boyfriend mark it flips a switch for officer Luke. It was instant chemistry that is still strong a year later. We spend the next few years back and forth and they even get to spend a beautiful night together.. but we end on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to find out what happens

My favorite book!

I absolutely loved this book!
Olivia the FMC is the most relatable character! You get to see her grow out of the shell of a woman her ex boyfriend made her into a happy, stronger person. Her life with Matt was written so realistic to how woman in relationships with narcissists and controlling men would be. It’s not as easy as just leaving.
Sergeant Luke Ryder, responded to a call that would change his life. He instantly felt attracted to and protective of Olivia. He said act now and ask questions later as long as she is safe. Caty Lee wrote an amazing MMC that set my standards so high!
Luke is mouthwatering and says the sweetest and spiciest things! That man’s mouth 🥵🥵🥵 has you blushing and giggling.

This story has the most hilarious side characters and I absolutely loved them!

The plot twist will have your jaw dropping! This story has literally become my favorite!

Crying, Sobbing, Throwing Up

Listening to this broke my heart just as much as it did when I read it. The narrator’s emotion throughout this story was amazing. Actually hearing the words as I imagined they would be read was such a great experience. Highly recommended listening to and reading this book
