X's and O's

By: Elle Thorpe

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro Foster, Sean Crisden, Gregory Salinas, Theo Sinclair

One minute I’m cleaning toilets for minimum wage.

The next, I’m waking up from a drug-induced nap with a monster staring down at me.

Kidnapped and seconds from death, I think I’m done for.

Until masked men burst in, murder my attacker, and turn my world upside down.

They call themselves Murder Squad.

A secret brotherhood of broken men who only kill the worst of the worst.

And one of them thinks I’m his wife.

X is unhinged, obsessed, and deadly. A psychopath who hides behind bad jokes and bloodstained fingers.

Whip’s older, grumpy, and used to women paying him to worship them. But when he finds out I’m a virgin, he can’t keep his hands off my plus-size curves.

And Levi? One year of handwritten letters was all it took to fall in love with a man I’d never met. My prison pen pal turned killer, fighting his darkness for a second chance.

But they aren’t the only psychopaths in Saint View.

Someone’s playing a twisted game, leaving rhyming threats and promising to end us all if we don’t stop them first.

With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Until there’s only one thing we know for sure.

There’s a killer out there.

And this time, he’s hunting us.

X’s and O’s is a dark rom com. It’s an adult, why choose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. You can expect a plus size, tall heroine, psycho heroes, a murder mystery, and a spicy club. This book contains romantic suspense and triggering themes. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

I mean this with the UTMOST respect....

...but DAAAAYMN! That was one serious DOUCHE CANOE of a cliff hanger you just b1tch slapped me with girl!!!
I might have called you an a$$hole when it happened...but only because I was LITERALLY sitting on the edge of my seat, 100% FULLY FREAKING INVESTED in the story!!
It was seriously like getting slapped with a cold fish.
I had to blink a couple of times, just to make certain you were reeeally being serious and cutting it off RIGHT THERE....!!!!!😂 😂 😂
Well Done You Ms. Thorpe. You had me by the neck and I was there for it.
An outstandingly exceptional jib

Never go wrong with Elle

I’ve loved all the saint view stories saint view psychos was my favorite of all the books but then here came murder squad and X who is quickly becoming my favorite MMC. Once I started I couldn’t stop listening and caught myself laughing so many times due to X. The story has just enough suspense spice and humor to suck you in. The narrators for this series somehow was perfect. X has all the young golden retriever energy you can feel while listening and daddy whip yessss that’s all something about that dark deep broody sexy voice makes it perfect for him.

Amazing!!

I laughed SO hard during this book!!!! The comedy and the spicy scenes were incredible!! Literally can't wait to listen to the other two books whenever they come out!!
