Something for the Pain

De: Victoria Ashley

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

Tempting, inked, and highly addictive. Alex is all that and more....

I've made a lot of mistakes - ones I'm not proud of, and definitely ones that have left their marks both mentally and physically.

Things got lonely; I got lost in my own f--ked up mind and in the end it left me f--ked out of my mind and unable to fight - or at least win. That life's over for me and I've moved on.

Six months into tattooing at Blue's and already I'm the most wanted and sought-out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women. They come into the shop, end up in my bed, and we both come out happy. It's been my release since I've stopped fighting. It's become part of the "new" me. But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can't deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl.

So when she asks me to move in with her and her "boyfriend" - our other childhood friend - I never expected for things to get so f--ked up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn't me.

I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest - to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing.

What I didn't expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp's eyes when he asked.

One night of free passion could change our lives forever. I never said that was a good thing either....

Contains mature themes.

More than friends

When besties, since little kids - Tripp (h) & Alex (H), have been holding back their true feelings for well over a decade, you know when they finally get together it's going to be hot, intense, and sexy AF! This one def delivers. There is a ton of pent up tension between these "friends" and a lot of innuendoes as they have no boundaries because of the security in their friendship. This story starts at a slow simmer but quickly turns to high heat. 🥵 Phew. It's hot in here.
Here's the kicker: Tripp is in an open relationship and begs Alex to move in with her & her boyfriend, Lucas.
Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell are a great duo and bring all the heat when telling this story.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed listening to this. Cute story line and story telling. Easy listening and doesn’t require constant focusing.

Loved the book and narration

Great story with a HEA. Best friends to lovers and good spice. And as always, Joe and Maxine were phenomenal with the narration

Now #1 on my Favorites List. LOVED IT!

Perfectly put together by the narrators (who are also favs of mine), stellar storyline and character development. The writing captivated me from the start and kept engaged. Thank you.

Perfect

I absolutely loved this book. Narration brought it to life, and Joe Ardens' voice just made the spice increase.

Alex and Tripp!

I loved this story! Definitely better than the first. I would love to read the story of Harley and Ace. Maybe even a story about Lucas finding love!

Super sweet

Absolutely luv the narrators so much. I find my self looking for these two when looking for a good book to listen to .

Hurts so good!

This book was very intense to say the least. The spicy bits are crazy erotic so be very ready for that. UBER spicy! The conflict was almost too much for me. Best friends can make the best lovers. The narrators did a great job.

It’s pretty 👍

I was hesitant because it’s my first book by this author. I was skeptical because I don’t like OW or OM. But the author did a great job even though I think Lucus was an …. How could he be okay with that😂 I do think the ending was rushed. I wanted to see her have the talk with Lucus. But I really enjoyed this book. Great narration
