Publisher's summary

When I opened my eyes, I was in a cell, my body covered in bruises.

Not a jail.

I'd been kidnapped and imprisoned.

I wasn't alone. I shared the cell with Garin Woods, the man I'd loved since I was a kid.

The man I couldn't be with because of the secret. A man who would kill me if he found out what that secret was.

Someone wanted to torture me.

Torture us.

One of us deserved it.

It wasn't Garin.

3.5 stars - Good Dark Story with a Great Narrator!

3.5 stars

I'm on the fence with this one. There were things I really liked and some that I didn't like as much. I do enjoy a dark romance book, I do even enjoy a kidnapping, I do enjoy a Anti-Hero! This book had all of those things. I spent most of the book convinced I knew what was happening and in the end I was right but the author did have me questioning it a lot through out the book. I had a little bit of a hard time with how Kyle reacted to the imprisonment, I needed her to be a little more freaked out by it and I needed her to be at least a little scared but instead she acted like she was just curious. The biggest oddity for me was how no matter what they did to her, she was all about having sex when it was over, I guess I couldn't really see that as realistic. I liked the twists and turns the author added to this story even though they were obvious instead of surprising.

Garin was a contradiction for sure. He was mad at her for lying but he was lying. He wanted her to come clean when he had no plans to come clean. He said he loved her and would protect her but who exactly was he protecting her from... the way I see it, she needed protection from him. In the end I gave this book 3.5 stars, it was better than average and had me intrigued from the beginning but it left me feeling a little flat in the end.

The narration was AMAZING! Aaron Shedlock is a great narrator and he was a great choice for this story.Since this is a Dual POV I probably would have liked dual narration a little better but it didn't take away from the story at all.

Not my favorite...

This one was a bit of a disappointment for me. I chose it because I’d previously listened to a book by this author/narrator team and was blown away. This one, not so much. Although I enjoy a good dark romance, this was just too much and a bit of a stretch at times. I figured out what was going on pretty early on and it just pissed me off....a little too dark and hard to believe, I guess. I had a difficult time making it to the end. As always, Aaron Shedlock’s performance was nothing short of amazing; however, being that the book is written in dual points of view, I would’ve liked the narration better if Tracy Marks had read the female lead, just my opinion. That said, Shedlock is quite capable of narrating both points of view, obviously!, and the narration is the only thing that kept me listening until the end.

Real or a Dream!!!

I was so sure Marni Mann was trying to drive me crazy, just knew her twist was a real dream until the bad good guy appears.

3.5 Dark and Twisty Stars

It is about to get real, I tell you what I had NO earthly idea what I was getting into with this book and wow is it all kinds of dark and twisty.

I had an idea about this story and how everything was going to go down but it just never grasped hold but I was right in the end.

I like dark and twisty so for a good part of the book I was hooked then a few things happened and even my dark and twisty took a step back. But what kept me going was the narration.

Aaron just had a tone that soothes you and makes you take notice of what is going on. I very much liked his female tone that he uses, because then it makes his male character even that more lush to listen to.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Definitely kept my interest

This is my first audio book of this kind. The story and narration kept my interest for sure.

W O W!

This story took so me on an excellent dark path and my only request is needing more! It leaves you questioning everything you just read and it was a great story!

Abuse Lover manifest

I like books that tell a different story. Books that address different paths to love. I even like dark and twisted but this book missed the mark for me. It true that in most books the heroine has to be somewhat naive to make the story interesting. However, in this book I found the heroine downright stupid. Her reasoning never made sense to me. Some of the circumstances that she choose to have sex under are concerning and I found myself thinking about how gross and unsexy the scene must be. There is no Hero in this book Gerin is a liar and an abuser. The couple's story lacks love and is only about a Big D and rough sex. I guess sometimes that's all you need. The narration was good but since most of the story was from the female POV I feel it would have came across better with duet or female narrator.

Wow... just wow!!!!

Marni NEVER fails to amaze with her dark plot twists. Between the narrating and her words, I found myself with goosebumps on more than one occasion. Loved it!!!

Ugh!!

Loved the plot,story,& author,but the reader KILLED EVERYTHING for me. Immediately,the flow alone crashed this book for me.

book was thrilling and intense

I loved it. great story. excellent narrator and so intense. I couldn't get enough of this book.
