About this listen

Erika: His name is Michael Crist. My boyfriend's older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team and now gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

Michael: Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. My brother's girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven't had her body, I know that I have her mind. That's all I really want, anyway.

Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college. In my city. Unprotected. The opportunity is too good to be true. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they're out. We've waited. We've been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.

4 star listen

Definitely a dark romance
So many dark themes with a strong love at the centre. Some broken people, that need others to bring them back to the land of the loving.

I really liked all of these characters, both main and secondary. I’m looking forward to continuing this series.
Rika and Michael - great pair.

I’m looking forward to Kai’s book next.

Trigger warnings are needed for these books team so please be aware.

4 star listen, duel narration. I didn’t mind the narration but tbh I would have preferred a different female/male combo I don’t know if they really worked well together.

Worth the listen/read tho.

Crazy good story!

This was an awesome storyline! Very in-depth and I loved the ending. I didn’t much care for the narrators though.

Interesting story line

It wasn’t just about erotica which was nice, the story was engaging and the end actually unexpected which is nice.

ah was so tence I was on the edge of my seat the entire time

I didn't really like how it was narrated. kind of put me off to start off with having a female to try and narrative the guys voices. if it wasn't for the good story line I don't think i would have finished it to be honest

Perfect Start

If you enjoy the constant anxious feeling throughout your narrated storytime then this is the story for you.
The forever hanging question of why are these characters behaving like this.. and would someone please get to the chase and OMG why are men soo bad at communicating.
but saying all that it was well written and the plo

What a story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok… Firstly, this isn’t a light hearted listen.
It will have you on the edge on your seat in anticipation and suspense the whole time.

I’m exhaling after listening… a bit lost in thought, but also resolved and wow’ed by the story.

Highly recommend for Penelope Douglas fans!

Maybe i’m twisted?

I was nervous going into this because of all of the reviews saying it’s a heavy read and to be careful etc. but I didn’t really find anything to be triggering? Yes there are darker themes but by far not a difficult story to stomach. It was a great listen, the narrators did a great job!! I did find myself slightly bored by the storyline and zoning out sometimes but overall I enjoyed the story

interesting concept, if you can follow the timeline and character perspective jumps, quit confusing at times

Be prepared to be angry

I was so angry and frustrated for almost ALL of this book. It wasn't until the last hour or so that I could finally stop feeling so agitated! This story will suck you in and you CANT STOP listening. I'm happy I finished it and got the closure I needed but damn if I could go back I probably would not have started this book because it affected my real life moods so strongly with an emotion I really don't like feeling. Readers beware but if you do dare to brave the book, it's a sweet ending.
