Story4.5 out of 5 stars 96
I can feel it. I wake up in the middle of the night freaked out of my mind, paranoid a stranger is there. My skin prickles every time I leave my house, because I know someone is following me. I’m afraid. Alone. And there’s only one person left to turn to. The stepbrother I never met. He’s the president of a notorious motorcycle club and exactly the kind of person I need to protect me - cutthroat, cocky, dangerous. Little did I know, hot as all holy hell Ky Parish, downright loathes me. You know what they say - there's a fine line between love and hate. And I'm walking it.

She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact. Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 146
On the northeast side of town, there is a house. The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me - my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night.

I saw her from across the bar. My bar. My city. Everything in that world belonged to me. She stood out from the crowd like she was looking for someone to blame for her pain. That night, I felt the depths of my mistakes. I felt my scars. With a single glance, I knew her touch would take it all away. I craved it more than anything. I knew she would be a tempting, beautiful mistake. One I would make again and again...even if it cost me everything.

What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie." Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then...he ran.

Kelly Sundberg’s husband, Caleb, was a funny, warm, supportive man and a wonderful father to their little boy Reed. He was also vengeful and violent. But Sundberg did not know that when she fell in love, and for years told herself he would get better. It took a decade for her to ultimately accept that the partnership she desired could not work with such a broken man. In her remarkable book, she offers an intimate record of the joys and terrors that accompanied her long, difficult awakening, and presents a haunting, heartbreaking glimpse into why women remain too long in dangerous relationships.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

This wasn't supposed to be my life. One phone call was all it took to bring me back to the small town I had grown up in. Everything had changed, and staying away was no longer an option. Four and a half years later, I was a widowed single father still here, still trying to pick up the pieces. We were doing fine on our own, my little girl and me. At least, we were until Camryn Parker stumbled into our lives. The woman was like a tornado after a hurricane; she was the storm I never saw approaching. Behind her beauty and sarcastic wit, she was just as broken as I pretended not to be.

I don’t have time to fall in love - I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar. Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s 27, the boss’ daughter, and my new part-time nanny - which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her. What kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

They said write what you know so that's what I did. I wrote dirty, I wrote erotic, I wrote the truth. And then they called me a liar. But it's not me who's lying, it's them. Our story isn't for everyone. It's not even for us. So if you're looking for the fairy tale and the stupid prince on his dumb white horse, move along. You've got a hold of the wrong book. This is not your story, this is not your life, and this is not your opportunity to dip your frightened little toe into the dark pool of water and "try new things" and then pull it out and decide... #NotForMe.

I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you're anyone but me. The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I'm very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I'm attracted to. At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I'd never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong.

I'm not dead...but I wish I was.

wholly cow! its a great book!
I dont even know where to start with this book.
It jumps right in, so hold on to your seats. I cant believe how good this book is. I haven't heard a book this good for a long time, and I listen to about 3 books a week.
I am in love with Lilly, so many times I just wanted to give her hug. She is so strong, and what she has gone through.. I am speechless.
This is my first time listening to anything from Margaret McHeyzer. if all her books are this good, I just found my favorite writer. I have already added more of her books to my wish list.
Becca did an amazing job, and I would happily listen to her again.

Deep emotional book!
People need to realize that abuse will always haunt us. Lily has been put through hell basically her whole life. With a glimpse of hope Lily’s life comes tumbling down over and over. Until Max a guy who himself deals with haters and had to watch what happens to Lily in his family. This is a very emotional book to me because I was Lily. It’s almost like my story and I felt all the words deeply. I’m a survivor and I have my own Max myself. And like Lily we are loved and deserve it! The narrator brought the story to life I truly loved it! 5/5 stars

So Many Emotions......
Very few books have moved me the way that this one did. I literally was crying for Lilly and praying that her situation would change, both with her dad and then later Trent. I could feel rage filling up in me at out Trent treated her like a dog...no, worse than a dog and was so proud of her when she got the courage to leave that situation...same courage that it took to leave her dad's home, while still a kid in high school.
I loved the 2nd half of the book and it looks as though Lilly's life did a 180 after she met Max....he truly saw the best in her and encouraged her to be the woman he knew she was deep down. True gentleman!!
Margaret McHeyzer HAS to do a book 2 on this....we HAVE to know more of this next chapter.
Becca Ballenger did an AMAZZZZZZZING job narrating this! Fantastic work!

Tough subject, good story
Ooh, this story! I almost gave up on it, not because of the writing but because the subject matter was so heartbreaking.
I am glad I didn’t give up though. I don’t have a personal experience with DV myself so I can’t relate but sometimes in stories I wonder why the heck people stay. I think I understood why in the way this story was told. Heartbreaking. So glad she got her hea.
I was provided a copy of this book at no charge and asked to leave an unbiased review if I was able to.
Great narration as well. I’ll look for more stories from this narrator.

Tough, tough, tough listen
I have to confess that there were many, many, many times during this listen that I just wanted to stop listening. The story was just too heartbreaking. In every sense of the word, Lily was just so pitiful. The constant need and want for approval from her father, and his desire to destroy her at all cost, just brought me to tears.
I celebrated when Lily met Trent. Then that happened.
If you can get past the first half this read, of Lily's life, there is some relief. I have to admit though that there were a few times when I just put the listen down and started watching a cartoon.
The narration was excellent. Excellent! I would love to wax more poetic about Ballenger's performance but I need to go outside and feel the sun on my face.

WOW, JUST WOW!
For anyone who has gone through abuse, this is a difficult book. The author truly captured the feeling of worthlessness and hopelessness that comes from abuse as well as the happiness that comes from just a little bit of hope. This was heartbreaking to listen to. It starts right in without sugar coating anything. You know what to expect right from the beginning. Lilly's abuse is horrible but the strength she has is also amazing. I loved this character! This was an excellent book with a super narrator. Becca Ballenger brought the pain through as well as the hope and happiness Lilly was feeling. When Becca expressed Lilly's happiness, it really made me smile! I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

OMFG! What did I just listen to????
Here are some adjectives for this book. Unpredictable. Twisted. Evil! OMG! The author is soooo bad and soooo good! This was an up and down sad and happy tear jerker. I thought I KNEW what would happen next. Nope. Not a chance. The story is about a pretty young girl who thinks she is ugly because her dad constantly tells her so. It's a story about domestic violence, choices people make, courage and determination. If I had a teenager I'd get them to listen to this, but it's good for adults, too.

emotional listen
I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
This was a hard listen had me in tears a few times but I am so glad I got the chance to listen as I have come across it a few times when looking for a new listen. Becca Ballenger did a great job I love how she told the story she made it come to life. A great story well worth a listen.

Grab your tissues.
I have read the hard copy of this book and thought it was great so decided to give it a listen. Omg be prepared for ugly snotty crying with loads of tears. I so badly wanted to shake the living hell out of Trent and give him a taste of his own medicine. Lily I just wanted to hug and love and tell her to leave as she was so worthy of more. Max and Shane I also fell in love with them. This story really pulls you into the heartache of domestic violence in all its ugliness. Once again a well written story from Margaret and a great audiobook by Becca.
