Still Beating

By: Jennifer Hartmann

Narrated by: Laurie West, Christian Black

When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.

And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement.

To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.

After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.

Contains mature themes.

Typical love story

I had a problem with them saying GD over and over and over throughout the book it was a little-annoying and a little much. other than that, it was an OK story.

Dark Thriller…then less thrilling

The first half of this book is exciting and dark but the second half is just neverending love triangle drama! I would have preferred the whole thing be them trapped and eventually escaping at the end.

Drawn out

It wasn’t what it was hyped up to be but the story was good. I don’t consider it a dark romance however it was a bit strange, the dynamics of the relationship between the two main characters.

Best book of the year

I can’t even put into words how I feel about this book. I have cried so many tears. It was wonderful

Just okay

the FMC was so annoying. I get the trauma but she took the back and forth too far for me I almost DNF it.
