Publisher's summary

Cort van Breda has won 35 death matches as a fighter in an MMA circuit so deep underground there are no rules, and only the winner gets out alive.

They call him the Sick Heart.

They say he's a shameless monster.

They say he's a ruthless killer.

They say he's as twisted as the man who owns him.

They say a lot of things about Cort van Breda.

But in our world violence is money, and money is winning, and winning is life, and life is the only thing that matters.

Except...he wasn't meant to win that last fight.

And I wasn't meant to be his prize.

But he did.

And I am.

And now his sick heart owns me.

Warning: This is a sweet love story adrift in an ocean of evil. It is about two survivors dealing with their darkest secrets while they fight to change their lives. It is for mature listeners only and has descriptions of deeply disturbing situations. There will be pearl clutching.

Not what I thought it was

Very dark, definitely bi, fear-and-loathing style trips, and foursomes. But overall I enjoyed it after I got through the initial shock of it all.

Dark, steamy, interesting and mysterious

I had no idea the context of this book when I started but it had great reviews. Wow, super interesting story. Not your usual romance storyline but I loved it! The narrators are fantastic (Troy Duran could read my taxes and still make it sexy). Worth the credit!

🤯🤯🤯🤯

Can I say HOLY SHIT!!!! This book is soooo good. Yes, it's dark, twisted, and crazy. BUT great writing and narrating is freaking amazing! If you're into this kind of stuff this story is for you. You think you know what's going to happen but you don't. Damn Lessa Jay Lamb I see you 👀 and you amd Troy Duran did the damn thing.

A story with a plot!

Really enjoyed this book. Although the scenario is gruesome, the author is attempting to show us that evil exists and through the surprise plot, a way of ending it. The male narrator was perfect for the story. Their was some steamy scenes but, unlike the previous story I listened to, it wasn’t constantly sexual. There WAS a plot.

Difficult story to get through but worth it!

The world in which this takes place is unforgiving and ruthless. The characters are just as evil as the ones in mafia stories or paranormal enemies books. The big difference is the sensitive nature of the human trafficking/sex trafficking. It is uncomfortable but it’s supposed to be. It’s revolting and sadistic but it’s supposed to be. The author pulls you in with the grit and determination of Anya and the brutal nature of Cort. There is genius in the weaving of this tale because underneath it all the abused are the strongest of them all not despite their abuse but because of it. I particularly liked that, instead of a front row seat to the abuse, we are exposed to it as fuzzy dreams which distances us from the horrors while giving us what we need to understand how the character was shaped by it. And we get them in bite sized chunks that are easier to digest. It was well written. I applaud J A Huss for her strength to tackle a sensitive subject and being able to highlight the beauty in the darkness.

Loved! Julie, please don't EVER stop writing!

You know it's going to be great if JA Huss is the author and this one was amazing...again!

This is another one of those "must read/must listen to" books.

I feel like I keep writing the same things in these reviews, but JA Huss is really just amazing. Her characters...the story twists...the narrators she picks...
