Publisher's summary

I should have known I could never run fast enough to stay free of my family's clutches.

Now I'm back under my mother's thumb, being prepped as the heir to her mafia throne...and for other plans so shady that she's keeping them secret.

But I'm not giving up on my figure-skating dreams, or on the men who've stood by me.

It's a dangerous game that Mom's dragged me back into, but I'm going to play it to win. And I'd better, because one misstep, and it's the men I love who'll be paying for my failure.

I need the next one.

Lu has pushed hard to get what she wants. Her mother, however, is not having it. Her mother has serious control issues and needs to back off and respect what Lu has done. But before that can happen Lu kicks some tail. It was great to see Beckett turn up and I love that he is helping Lu achieve what she wants. The guys are the best and I absolutely adore them. I can't wait to read the next book because that cliffhanger was not nice. As always the narrators are amazing and I love listening to them.

EXCELLENT READ!

I am very into this series! It was full of drama, suspense and action. The narration was excellent and will keep you entertained! The author did an excellent job with the character builds and plot! Best one yet in this series! I look forward to reading the next book! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A spiral read!

She's not giving up on her figure-skating dreams, or on the men who've stood by her...

A read full of drama, suspense and action. This is my favourite book in this series - highly engaging and entertaining read.

Excellent narrators. Good job.

whaattt

wow I am in love with the narration just spook good I love listening to this world on my way to work

Will Lou ever be free?

Lou’s mother has found her and forced her to go with her back to her old life. If she doesn’t go, her men will suffer. When the guys wake to find her gone, they have no idea where she is, and if it wasn’t for Quentin coming forward and telling them what he’d seen they would’ve had no idea where to search

But the guys aren’t going to stand back and let her face her mother alone. They follow her and attempt to make contact her and devise a plan to gain her freedom.

But Lou isn’t going to give up her dreams or her guys, and decides to take action against her mother but will she stand a chance?

There is so much action in this instalment, that I can’t begin to tell you what to expect, what I will say is I was left shouting No!!!!! By the cliffhanger ending!

Eva and Harlow have a way of shocking you even though you’re expecting to be shocked. I can’t wait for the next instalment, but wonder just how this story will end.

Aaron Shedlock, Pun Bandhu, Benjamin, Charles and Valentina Ortiz narrate the story with so much feeling, and bring the characters alive.

Good book

Lou and her men are facing even more in this book. There is plenty of action and hoops that her mother is making them jump through.

It keeps getting better and better!

Book 3 is an action-packed, fast-paced listen full of danger and drama, and I loved every minute of it! This is definitely one of those series that gets better and better as it goes on, and you fall deeper into the story and fall more in love with the characters. Lou and her men all really step up in this book to go against her mom, and I love seeing the development that each of them goes through to make that happen. It was just a fantastic read that I will re-visit again!

I really enjoyed the full cast of narrators in this, giving each of the characters unique voices that fit them!

Favorite of the series so far!

The storyline gets heated up in book 3 of this series! I really enjoyed the plot and the characters, this one was probably my favorite of the series so far. Close to a 4.5 stars from me!

We get more insight into Lu's dreaded mom and I was so happy to see her being bested by her daughter haha. I am worried what she has in store for her after how things went down in this book, but it was nice to see someone stand up to her and let her have it after all her scheming. The last member of the harem also was a surprise, I liked how he tried to fit in with the guys first, then proved himself with putting himself in the way when stuff happened. I also liked how the guys are being a unit, letting each other have moments with Lu but also allow for some fun group sexy times haha. I did miss out on some of the M/M between 2 of the guys, moreso the relationship and not the sexy times. I love M/M so I was hoping for some cute moments/serious moments for them.

Lu was doing a good job getting insight on her mom’s business dealing, making her own connections, while competing still in the ice skating competitions. That was so much fun to listen and imagine in my head. I love this sport in the Olympics, so will be excited for them again in a couple years with the next winter Olympics. I am intrigued by some of the new side characters. I can’t tell if they will turn on Lu and her guys or will help them out to take down her mom and her connections once and for all. Am eagerly waiting on book 4 on audio to see how it ends!

Same comments as the others in regards to narration. Some of the narrators are not my favorite but do a decent job. I think a lot of things could have been improved if this was duet and not dual narration but I get not all audiobooks can have that due to the cost. The emotions were high in this one with some of the main characters getting hurt, and the narrators did a fabulous job exuding those emotions in their performances. 4/5 stars for the narration.
