Publisher's summary

"You say I'll never own you. If I win - you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another - one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I'll give you this."

Nila Weaver's family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over 600 years ago, she has no way out.

She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.

Jethro Hawk's patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him - and not in good ways. He hasn't leashed her but he thinks he might've found a way to bind her forever.

Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.

Frustrating

I inhaled book 1. Absolutely loved it. However, book 2 felt different. Instead of being in the head of a 29 year old man, I felt I was in the head of an 18 year old boy.

And I realize this is just a story, but with the wealth the "Weaver's" have, why in the hell wouldn't they have done gender selection for birth?

And I am still not to certain of the rules and legalities of their ancestral contract. I know this is probably my lawyer brain trying to make sense of this...but I feel as though I have missed an important factor. For instance, Nila's mom was not a first born Weaver; did the contract state that if no women children were born then the Hawks were to have the wife of the first born son? And if that's the case then why get married? I am wondering if the books have the contract written out so I could read and the audible version doesn't? Nevertheless I am moving right along to book 3.

The narration is the best I've heard on Audible

Addictive, dark, tense. Not for everyone. The narration truly takes it over the top. I can't wait for the third book to release!

Holy Headtrip!

5 Crazy Ass Must Listen Stars!!!!!

Holy headtrip! Do I like Jethro? Do I hate Jethro? The Hawks are a screwed up bunch that's for sure.

I love the narrators. They do an amazing job and had me getting lost in the story with no distractions.

I wish that Book 3 was out on audio but I guess I will just have to read it because there is no way I'm waiting. I need to know what happens with Nila and Jethro.

Loved it!!!! but it is not for everyone

Any additional comments?

It was a roller coaster but the best kind at first I wasn't sure if I should even buy it but now I am very happy I did... be aware there is a lot of parts in this book that might bother some readers.... also this is a 6 book series and not all of them are on audible the last 3 books you will have to read

not the usual romance

What made the experience of listening to First Debt the most enjoyable?

well it was a little shocking at first the way the women are valued and treated , but it is good to see a strong woman character that can really turn up the heat , some pleasure and pain

Would you recommend First Debt to your friends? Why or why not?

I would be hesitant to recommend it for some women in my life , but others would enjoy it

Which scene was your favorite?

the hot love screens are captivating

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

can you find romance in relationship that is arranged and where your life is in constant danger

Any additional comments?

I will be very disappointed if she is actually killed and has a sad ending , would like to see it end with a rebalancing of the power and they end up together and in control of the empire

WOW..... JUST WOW!!!

Where does First Debt rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very well done. Probably the best I've listened to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I adore Jethro. He's such a complex character. There is a kind heart under all that ice of his

Which character – as performed by Will M. Watt and Kylie C. Stewart – was your favorite?

It's hard to choose if I like Nila or Jethro better. Both Kylie and Will do such an amazing job at bringing the characters to life but I think Jethro is my favorite. You can feel every emotion he is feeling.

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

yes, but I didn't have the time to. It took me a couple days

Any additional comments?

Pure perfection! I can't wait for book 3 :)

CLIFFHANGER

I enjoyed the story but HATE the way the book ends. I understand that it's a series but is it to much for one book to finish an idea & start a new idea in the next book?
