A Dark Romance

Narrated by: Thomas Locklear

Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's Summary

He's rough, he's dirty, and he's not going to be gentle.

When I took a job on an oil rig to escape my scheming stepfather's efforts to set me up with one of his business cronies, I knew I'd be working with rugged men. What I didn't expect is to find myself bent over a desk, my cheeks soaked with tears and my bare thighs wet for a very different reason, as my well-punished bottom is thoroughly used by a stern, infuriatingly sexy roughneck.

Even though I should have known better than to get sassy with a firm-handed cowboy, let alone a tough-as-nails former Marine, there's no denying that learning the hard way was every bit as hot as it was shameful. But a sore, welted backside is just the start of his plans for me, and no matter how much I blush to admit it, I know I'm going to take everything he gives me and beg for more.

Publisher's Note: Roughneck includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Great Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Intense!

I enjoyed this great book, it is well written and well told with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. Piper Stone is a gifted author, she creates stories that are on the dark and twisted side, she’ll keep you on your toes and possibly take you out of your comfort zone yet you’ll love every minute of it. The characters are complex and well developed, of the two leads Jack was my favorite, a swoon worthy cowboy and former Marine who has a lot of heart. Summer grew on me and by the end she redeemed herself. She was running and hiding from her life and evil step father, she took a job on an oil rig with hopes he would not find her. Jack, an alpha Dom was her supervisor and he knew just how to deal with her to rid her bratty ways by making her submit to him. The chemistry between the two was smoking hot. He knew she had secrets but she was not ready to share or reveal them. Jack receives a call from his Dad telling him about a problem with the ranch so he heads home to deal with it and takes Summer along with him. He finds out his father is in danger of losing the ranch and Jack is determined to get to the bottom of things and set things right. He turns up more than he bargained for, lies, deceit and more. I love how everything plays out in this book, the story is fast paced and nicely plotted and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moment, heartfelt ones and some hot kink and romance. Piper Stone, thank you for another great story.

Thomas Locklear is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He does an amazing job portraying the characters bringing them to life giving each their own voice and personalty as well as attitude. His take on Jack was perfection, he also did great with Summer’s too. You could hear how much heart he put into her work as he captures and projects the characters emotions in to his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Heroine fail

According to description and sample sounded good, fail. The beginning was interesting and I was really getting into the story. The narrator's male voice was very sexy but as for the female, not that good. This could have been tolerated but when the line of, "o.k. daddy" came in I couldn't deal with it. Too creepy for the story.
Very disappointed, the story line and the male "Jack" had so much promise. I would not use a credit for it. It's possible this story would be better to read. The females voice "Summer" was just too weird sounding for me.
This is the first Piper Stone book that missed it's mark with the narrator's voice.

Roughneck

I received this book to review because I asked. Ok the story had a decent plot to it. The call me daddy and baby talk isn’t my cup of tea. Thomas Locklear did a great job. I personally hated the baby voice of the female lead but I understand why she was whiny. That was the only time I didn’t like it. So if you enjoy BDSM and love the baby girl/daddy this book is for you. Enjoy.

Daddy issue girl falls in live with a older loving roughneck

Cute story. Love it all with the exception of summers voice ♥️♥️ great read. Loveeeeedddd it.

Good bit of intrigue, enjoyed story

if you like intrigue served up with your sexy romance then this might be for you. Take one domineering cowboy, one too mouthy for her own good heroine, and an over the top villain, stir, and you have this quick but fun story. Narration was on point as usual. I was gifted a review copy of this title for an honest review

Great narration!💜

I felt like this story move to fast in a particular direction. I would have preferred a lot more of the great storyline and less sex. That said, the sex was definitely hot.
The narration was wonderful. Thomas Locklear has a fantastic voice and does a great female voice.
This is book 1 with an HEA and can be read as a standalone.

Love a hardworking man!

A hot and sexy story about a rough man and a sassy woman. Enough to make any sub want to act up for spankings. Excellent performance by Thomas Locklear as always!

Rough in the best way

Jack Stone is a former marine, he’s the man in charge and he has a whole crew that relies on him to keep them safe.

Summer is the new welder on the crew and she’s trying to prove she’s a tough as any Roughneck on the rig. Unfortunately she’s pissing everyone off in the process and Jack decides to take it upon himself to bring her sassy attitude in line.

He spanks her and takes her rough when she’s bad, and cares for her tenderly when she good. He also tries to unwrap the riddle of who/what she’s running and hiding from as he falls for her.

This was a great story. It had mystery/thriller aspects to the story and a healthy dose of Daddy kink to get the blood pumping.

Narrator Thomas Locklear did a great job bringing the characters to life. Jack’s growl was a delightful treat and the female POV was consistent, strong and well done. With his versatility, this is like a full cast narration coming from one man. I loved it.

Narrator

Female voice to soft and whiny and character way to submissive. Would have been better showing a little say so in the sex department.’
Bravo for her working in a traditionally male world.

Steamy Story

I liked this story. I’m not a fan of the word daddy in dom/sub type relationships but it didn’t negatively affect my overall view of the story. I liked the narrator when doing male voices but I didn’t really like his female voice. The book could have really benefited from dual or duet narration even though I didn’t like his female voice it wasn’t terrible.

Loved it!

I loved this audiobook! Everything about it was fabulous. It's brilliantly-written with storyline and characters that captured my attention from the very start through the end. The narration is great; Thomas Locklear did an outstanding job with the characters, bringing them to life. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review,

Amazing narration and story

OMG I finished this book in a single day and when I tell you I was hooked from the very first minute all the way to the end, I mean every single word. Fist of all, the narration was out of this world, Thomas Locklear was spectacular they could not have picked a better person to narrate this story. As for the plot, at first, I was a bit apprehensive that the book would have too many sex scenes and as a result the plot would suffer, but Piper Stone balanced the book perfectly in my opinion, yes while there were a lot of sex scenes the book also had a very interesting plot that kept me wanting to listen and not put the book down. The only thing that I could fault in this book is that I would have preferred for it to have a longer ending, because the end felt a little bit rushed. Having said that the book was amazing and I would totally recommend this book, as this was a great addition to my library of books.

Dominance

After my initial thought "he can't do that, or would not do it to a man", I enjoyed the story
Jack's voice was made for the story, very sexy

Not for me

I had a feeling this was going to start off with a sexual encounter...I was right. I went in blind so I wasnt really sure what I was in for, I just liked the narrator. Definitely not my cup of tea. I’m no pride but I like sex with the story not a back story to the sex.

Hot adventure!

With a mega alpha hero, Jack, and a feisty heroine with step daddy issues, Roughneck is a story full of secrets, encounters of the very naughty kind and equally tender moments. Thomas Locklear does a great, growly bear of a man and is pretty good at adapting to female voices! A hot under the collar listen..be aware if in public! 🤣😍

loved,loved

brilliant performance by Thomas. thank you piper for yet another brilliant book. I'm sure you have more xx

So so so HOT

Wow, sweet mother.

Suspense, sex and romance . oh yes discipline..

This is a story of attraction, misunderstanding, trust and love.

Jack and Summers story will keep you wanting more.

Great storyline

Great storyline. A good level of action and suspense. Excellent performance from Thomas, bringing the characters alive. Very enjoyable.

Roughneck.

Loved listening to the audiobook, the story was well written and the characters are intriguing. I would like to start with WOW WOW WOW. I thoroughly enjoyed this book it got to you from the start, luckily I was listening to the audiobook I didn't have to put a book down. The voice for Jack really suited the character with dominance and control. This story carried a lot of emotions, fight or flight, hot and steamy, lust and passion, anger, pain, fear, protection, hard headed, kindness and softness I could go through a lot more but best of all the need and pleasure of love or will that get ripped away from Summer like everything else did even her own mother. Tissues please.
The narrator was clearly spoken and perfect for the audiobook.
