The Degradation of Shelby Ann

A Dark Reverse Harem (Twisted Love, Book 1)

By: Emma Cole

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

He was dark and handsome. Charming, older, and rich.

She was the young and pretty girl, infatuated with a suave man who didn't exist.

After leaving home and burning her bridges, Shelby Ann was cocooned in the gloss of high society— the devil in a suit at her side. But beyond acquiring the skill and poise to pull off being a trophy wife, she would discover that all was not as it seemed.

With the honeymoon over, the dirt and grime seeped through the loving facade to reveal the monsters that laid beneath. Dark and depraved, this series will twist in ways you won't see coming, revealing an anti-hero in disguise, dirty deeds in plain sight, and shocking secrets that will leave you cringing inside.

Mature audiences only. RH as the series progresses. This novel is pitch black and extra spicy, check the frontmatter for a full list of possible TW.

**This audiobook is in duet style narration**

Poor Shelby

Well, the level of spice is pretty evident in the opening sentences.. LOL. It gets raunchier from there.
The weak female main character was so difficult for me to relate to. Given the cliffhanger this book ended with, I’m sure it’s setting the stage for her revenge. (One can only hope). Guess I’ll have the read the next one to find out.

The Degradation of Shelby Ann

This is one Dark story, very sad and heartbreaking 💔, and very relatable. I think what makes it hard to listen to is that this really does happen to women everywhere. All I have to say is to be very aware, I had to stop listening a few times because I couldn't handle it. but to be honest I am looking forward to the next book. because I hope she comes back and makes them pay for everything they did to her. 🥺🥺😥😥💔💔

🥺 Wow! That was really intense and well worth it.

*I can’t emphasize this enough, PLEASE check the trigger warnings for this book before you read/listen to it, the assaults are very descriptive.

That being said…. This story wrecked me in a way I was not expecting. I wanted to crawl into the pages and save Shelby Ann myself. You’ll be along for the ride, feeling helpless to do anything but hear her story as it plays out. Shelby Ann was a pawn in game she had no idea she was playing & I can only hope the conclusion comes out soon and she gets her revenge on anyone who wronged her. She deserves her HEA, or at least some semblance of justice and happiness.

The duet narration by Jake and Bridget Bordeaux was as expected from this dynamic duo - perfection!

Please read the triggers - you’ve been warned.

This story was very dark however it was beautifully put together. You get the story mainly through the eyes of Shelby. Please be aware that there are r*pe scenes described in details and torture. The intro gives you an idea of what to expect. I am looking forward to starting book two! I hope it becomes available on audible soon. The narration was amazing! It really brought the book to life. Reader beware. Not for the easily offended. You’ve been warned.

Shelby Ann
