A 5⭐️ DARK & MULTI-LAYERED JOURNEY TO REDEMPTION

Firstly, this is not, no way no how, a paranormal story.. I think Audible’s got it under the wrong sub-genre and I’ll bring it to their attention in the hopes that they will put it right. Now on with my review...

What a riveting and wholly unstoppable listen this was.. it’s often dark, it’s hot, it’s got a sexy dark alpha anti-hero, it’s got a strong-willed but damaged heroine and it’s got a taboo secret that nobody should endure. But, the main love story between two very damaged characters, starts off as anything but a love story. Killian (aka Kill) is Mafia.. he owns a high class Strip Club and Priscilla (aka Cilla) has a troubled brother who is about to get his legs broken unless Cilla agrees to Kill’s outrageous demands. For 30 days (and nights) Cilla’s body will belong to Kill - he can do whatever he likes to it.. then her brother can go free. In the beginning Kill’s sexual demands were high.. he seeked total domination over Cilla’s body.. but Cilla wouldn’t play by his rules.. and soon they discovered tragic similarities, felt the pull of their sizzling chemistry, experienced passion and awoke dormant emotions. However, before there could be any type of HEA ending, a past demon would have to be slain, submission would have to be felt, dark memories would have to be exorcised, a brother and sister would have to break before they could mend.. and two damaged sibling would have to finally forgive themselves. Only then can healing begin.. and only then will love prevail.

Worth a credit? This bartered captive story had depth, it had raw undiluted heartache, it had drool-worthy, sigh-worthy and fan-worthy sexcapades, it had character growth, it had some intertwined characters from previous books, it had redemption.. and it had love. A captivating story of wills and wants in the push ‘n push relationship between Cilla and Kill, its well-paced well-written chapters flowed easily and it instantly became a very addictive book. But, for me, what made this story truly come alive, truly shine and truly pop was the skilled dual POV narration by Kate and Christian (sigh) whose vocal talents evoked a multitude of feels, enabled graphic mental imagery, made this listen memorable.. and YES made it creditworthy too.

Modern day Beauty and the Beast

I went in completely blind, didn't even glance at the blurb before jumping in, and it was the best decision I could have made! This book completely captivated me and drew me in from the very first paragraph!!! This book completely took over my life for 2 days!!! Natasha really knows how to write a sexy "bad" guy who really isn't that bad!

The narration was amazing!

The Story just ended

This book began so intriguingly. A hint of dark and secrets. The secrets are never spoken but you kind of get the idea of what they are then the book ends. There was so much more story there. What about the other kids that were abused. What about supporting the one girl who tried to speak out. What about their lives moving forward. WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE STORY!! I want my credit back!!

I need more!!!!

Stop the presses! Natasha Knight gave us one amazing story here! I literally could not put it down. The characters were soo flawed yet so perfect. They were rugged, raw and REAL! Their broken sides called to each other. What started as a sister sacrificing herself to save her brother, turned into salvation for herself as well. I can't say enough how much I loved this story. It very much felt like a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast but in a completely original way. It was A dark, captivating tale.

Narration was perfect. Both Christian and Kate gave amazing performances. They embodied their roles perfectly and were beyond a pleasure to listen to. I was sad to hear it end.

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

the narrators were great but...

*possible spoiler alert* the Hero was a glorified hypocritical rapist... not my cup of tea. I don't care if it's not violent, or if her body reacts by become aroused... that's not that uncommon, its still rape. so no... the Hero never found redemption in my eyes, especially towards the end when he beat with a belt "for her own good". consensual Bdsm... that's one thing, but that wasn't even...

Skip It

I love a good dark romance but it has to be equal parts disturbing and written well. I don't understand the near perfect rating of this book. I gave up by chapter 4. Just listen to Irrevocable or Reaper: Boston Underworld for well written smart dark romance.

Fantastic writing!

This book has you from the very get go! The author really sucks you in into the story very quickly. The 2 story tellers we're absolutely perfect for doing the book because they keep your interest all the way through. Have listened to this book probably 7 times all ready and absolutely fall in love with each time. Definitely a high recommended book for everyone!

Captivating - Great performance

I couldn't stop hearing this audio- the story is so captivating, And Natasha Knight knows how to write this dark romances,
But what makes it so good is without a doubt the voice actors.
Christian Fox is my favorite male narrator. He plays the part so well, It feels like a performance only for me...(just kidding...)
And Kate Genevieve with her special voice that at times sounds broken, sad and full of emotions
So a good story combined with this narrators makes it a well paced audiobook that can't be set aside until you finish it- so thank you Natasha Knight for a good book and for choosing these narrators.

HOT!!

loved it and I don't t want to say my favorite moment it would spoil it for other's... This story has LOTS of sex although a great story line for me the story line was so good I would rather hear more about it than the sex sceans that took over the moment but that's just me..
