Publisher's summary

One story. Two couples. I fell in love with a man who didn't exist. What started out as romance ended in hell. His words turned to razor blades. His kisses converted to fists. His embrace became my cage. His body transformed into a weapon, stealing parts of me until ultimately...I broke. I hated him. My sole job in life became to protect our daughter. I wasn't sure I'd ever escape the prison he'd skillfully crafted from my fears. Until the day our savior arrived. This is the story of how I escaped the man who thought he owned me. The transfer of my life and my family.

Good ending to duet

I really enjoyed this duet. I loved the main characters and liked the difficult issues dealt with. It was hard to go through, in the story, however I like more true to real life issues. I loved the narrators , except for Maxine Mitchell, she’s a little robotic. Andi is one of my favorite narrators and Jason did a really great job too.

Liked but...

Ok this is hard to write since I absolutely loved the first book. I felt for Claire in book 1 but I had a very hard time liking her in this book. It's a hard situation that Claire, Roman, and Elisabeth found themselves in. I can't say too much since I don't want to spoil it but I was a bit disappointed in the outcome. I would still recommend this series as others may like the way the story ended. Heath was so patient with Claire and alpha to the core.

Wow!!!

This book was a great part 2 of a series!! The story line was great and I enjoyed listening to the narrator's. The series as a whole was very well written and at times put me on the edge of my seat. Heath and Claire were hot together I had fun listening to them try to avoid each other. Roman and Elizabeth were definitely a powerful couple with wonderful hearts.
I enjoyed the narration of this series. This was the first time I had read anything by this author and will definitely be read more by her. Great Book!!!!!

Great!

Terrific! I have to say, I don't normally care for the duet format but since these were in the RP, I grabbed both and loved them. Story and narration were spot on!

Everything

This is everything the second half of a duet should be. Following mostly Health and Clare but also we get a lot of Roman and Elisabeth follow up.

Although the storyline is predictable, I loved that there were still enough surprises to keep the book exciting while also providing the comfort of knowing it will all be ok.

I love both Heath and Roman with their intense alpha personalities and I love that Clare and Elisabeth were both strong and brace women. It may have take Elisabeth a minute to find her in we strength, but once she did, she was on fire and a total bad ass.

Jason, Maxine and Andi are once again flawless and perfect. Jason managed to pull off both male characters giving them each a tenor and tone of their own so even if I were to stop the book and restart, I know which character I am picking up on.

Completely credit worthy and I will be listening to this duet time and time again.

unique and well crafted story

This was a very intense, well crafted and unique romantic suspense story. I could not listen to this book fast enough. i needed to know the outcome of the story of all the characters. Very well done. This new to me author has a brand new fan!

Did not like it

I had a hard time liking this one. I don’t really care Claire’s character. I had a hard time connecting with the main characters. I loved the first one and decided to give this story a try. I skipped about most of Claire’s and Heathers part because I enjoyed Roman and Elizabeth story more. Just because I didn’t like this story doesn’t mean I have low rating. It is the reason I gave a four stars. Performance was the best part.

Love every minute!

I love this duet so much!. This story has Heath and Claire as the main with Roman and Lissy weaved within the story. It is the perfect storm of complicated but so worth the listen. The narration was top notch as well. I will definitely dive into more books by Aly Martinez! Highly recommend but you need to listen to both books and in order. So good! The Epilogue was amazing.

Still Good

I liked it, not as much as the first because Claire was a bit too much at times. The "what do you need, Claire?" was way overdone. Heath was too much of a pushover at times, it was a little annoying.

The narration confused me most, though. There are 2 male and 2 female POVs. Why do they have different narrators for the females, but use one for the males? It was distracting.

Narration:
Andi Arndt- 5stars
Jason Carpenter-4 stars-his narration was weird. For one of the males (I can't remember if it was Heath or Roman) he had an accent for some parts of the story, but somewhere along the line, lost the accent
Maxine Mitchell - 1 star- The whiny, somewhat screechy voice is awful. Her voice vibrates and hitches a lot. Her narration wasn't smooth at all. She's also a bit monotone.

Wow

What a fantastic conclusion to this story! I will definitely be moving on to more books by this author! Narration was excellent.
