Wounded

An Unlucky 13 Standalone

De: Ashley James

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo, Iggy Toma

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa…

Where the rich and famous go to disappear. Some to relax, some to get sober.

For me… It's my last shot, my final chance at redemption.

I'm hotheaded. Reckless. Self-Destructive.

I don't want to be here, but not doing so means losing everything I've worked my whole life for. It means losing my band. The only family and the only constant I've ever known.

They say I have a problem. That I need help.

I say it's just part of fame. The drugs help numb the pain. Keep the demons away.

I'm doing my best to keep my head down and bide my time until I can go home. Then he comes and makes himself at home at my breakfast table…

Rowan Davies. Son of Hollywood's most famous movie producer and my new pain in the ass.

He's nauseatingly cheerful. Buoyant. A presence refusing to be ignored. And he's set his sights on me.

He wants to fix me. Make me feel. He wants me to let him in. Love him.

But he's here against his will, too.

We're both broken. Wounded where no one else can see.

Is a bond derived from lies and vices really a bond at all, or only a setup for yet another epic failure?

Beautiful story

This story is very well written and is a great Love story. The Rocker and the privileged boy. They meet in rehab and its insta attraction. The narration made this an even better story. Nick and Iggy are outstanding. This is a beautiful story.

I loved this book

It was mixed emotion made me cry made me question themselves but they characters were written so good and the voices made it even better

I loved everything and

I didn't want it to end. That's the only complaint. I loved their journey. Cas was a complete ass at times, but you love him through it. Row was a little much at times but easy to fall in love with too. Their chemistry was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🥵🌶️

This audio really brings the story to life. Listing Cas and Rowan with their struggles. The ending is perfect.

The trauma bond

I loved the trauma bond that they had, the polar opposite of attachment issues and somehow finding true love. But as a gay man who is a bottom, I hate being called princess, it’s derogatory, but it worked.

Wounded

The narration was amazing- so so good! Ashley James is great. Five star performance. Each of her books are better than the last.

How could you not root for these two?!?

I haven’t listened to all of the books from this series but of the ones I have, this one has moved to the top. I especially loved how we got to see what was going on once they left Black Diamond and were out on the real world. This was also Iggy Toma at his best, especially when he voiced Cas. Loved!

Another amazing Lucky 13 story

I really enjoyed my second visit to Black Diamond Resort & Spa! Rowan is a social media influencer & Caspian is a drummer. Caspian & Rowan are both a mess. Rowan is sent to Black Diamond by his famous parents who are tired of him partying. Caspian goes to avoid the trouble he will face for a fan od'ing in his presence. I loved just how different they both were. Rowan was a total ray of sunshine and Caspian was ever so grumpy! Many ups and downs for these two. But together they were able to balance each other out. This story was nice & steamy. Loved both of them. Nick J Russo & Iggy Toma did a great job narrating.

Actors great, story ok

3.75 stars. Cas was not likable for a big chunk of the book. Rowan was good. Their connection was mainly just sex so it didn’t make me want to like Cas. The actors did a great job. The last quarter of the book was the best part.
Side note: I saw the f word all the time and even I got annoyed with the non stop use by Cas. There are so many fun cuss words and yet it was just that one over and over again. Not a big deal, just annoying.

Loved!

The narrators did amazing!!

My heart broke so many times for Rowan in this book. It also broke for Cas… just more so because of his back story.

It’s so good!
