Torment: Part One

The Bleeding Hearts, Book 1

By: Dylan Page

Narrated by: Rylee Forrester

Torment: Part One is a dark, taboo, MC, contemporary romance.

How did I get here? Broken, bruised, and mentally shattered. For most of my life, my older stepbrother, Shay, was my hero, my rock, and my best friend. The one I knew I could always rely on. For many years, I accepted everyone and everything around me. But as I grew up, the veil was lifted, and I slowly came to understand how f*cked up it all really is.

These men, who I considered uncles and close family friends, are members of the dominant MC, The Celtic Beasts. Shay is not only a proud member. He is the one they send in to do their dirty work. For some reason, this tough, muscled, terrifying guy, needs me to ground and comfort him. But I have always had bigger plans. Bigger dreams. I don’t want to be trapped here, in this life that is dark, bloody and violent. I want to get out, escape… but Shay has other plans for me.

What do you do when your protector becomes the very root of your torment?

!!!!!!

such an amazing read! can’t wait to read the second one. this is also my first ever spicy read.

Amazing suspense

Amazing romantic suspense! Immediately started book two upon finishing. Great book and performance. Bravo! I hope the rest will be in audio as well.

The emotion portrayed by the narrator.

I liked how the narrators voice changed with her age but also showed how she progressively got more depressed.

Yay

It’s a hard story to read but it’s really good it has some weak spots but overall good!

Stunning

I had to mentally prepare to read this as I’ve heard this duet was a doozy. What I wasn’t prepared for was how beautiful this was written. I was overwhelmed with how many emotions were triggered throughout the story. It’s heavy. It’s beautiful. It’s tragic.

Hard read.

This book had me in a chokehold. Read your triggers! Very dark, very toxic. Read with caution.

Speechless

I’m at a lost for words! Really great build up to the second book. I……I….sigh….

Loved it !

I love Dylan page ! This series is my favorite of all time! So sad but so good !

Easy 6 stars!

I’m glued to this duet..

FREE on KU w/audio!

Just a heads up - trauma heavy!
It feels too realistic..

When you think you will be in a better place after losing your dad, then the one person you loved the most marries into a MC family and everything tumbles..

You have close proximity, step brother, and possessive morally grey brotherhood..

The writing keeps you drawn in then you have an amazing voice actor who captivates you..

Check the triggers before beginning - so good!!

WOW!

Read your triggers and please take them seriously because this book is HEAVY! It is not a romance. Like, at all. It's rough but so good
