Great book!

This book hooks you! I kept coming back for more. The storyline is excellent!

Need new narrator

The narration was robotic and sounded like it was her first narration job. The male voices sounded extremely contrived and she ended almost every sentence with an upward intonation as if every sentence was a surprise or a question.

The plot was decent, and I liked the twists and turns, but basically felt like copies of previously done plot lines.

Very Interesting

I have to give the story 4 stars only because it is completely unbelievable that a bad btch, amazing, smart, independent, survivor soon-to-be FBI AGENT would EVER let her mans treat her this way and not make the connections. Love ain’t that blind. I did however really like the idea behind the plot and the writing, so I’ll give it a higher rating.

great!

This was a really different take on a genre that seems to have been done a thousand times. It has lots of different twists and "the husband " part is not actually the most interesting part of the story. Cant wait for the next one!

great story

the story is great but the narrator is horrible. I enjoyed the story though. :)

Great book!

Easy read, love Blake Pierce and this book did not disappoint! Excited to start the next book in the series!

Couldn’t finish due to narrator

Narrator was not idea for this story. I couldn’t do it. Not at all. Cringe worthy

Great story! Awful to listen to.

I really enjoyed the story but the narrator was awful. She sounded scared the whole time and it was not enjoyable.

Narrator ruined the book

The narrator was so distracting I forced myself to listen but finally just couldn’t listen anymore. Rarely abandon a book !

Narrator ruined it

Recommend reading the book because the narration ruined it. I just couldn’t get passed it.
