Summary

Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it's true.

The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares.

He is a brilliant lawyer.

A skilled criminal.

A beautiful liar.

A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.

Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn't leaving until he takes me with him.

Vicious

She is a starving artist. Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.

Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down.

She paid the price.

Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend's ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap help we hired to take care of our estate.

That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn't.

So she hates me. Big deal.

She better get used to me.

Not the easiest story to listen to

It took me quite some time to get into the story, and then I just kept going as I wanted to see how it ended. His flip to the good side happened quite quickly towards the end with no actual build up.

great story

enjoyed the story, but woman's voice got on my nerves a bit especially when she trying to put on a sexy husky breathy voice!

A great escapist read.

Interesting page turner.

Vicious is definitely exactly has vicious as his name and Emilia had no change of escaping him. After so many years and all the denials, shenanigans insults and making Emilia's life a living hell Vicious had to swallow his pride and make himself venerable to her. His money didn't apeal to her and showing only his ruthless side just make her want to run far away from him. I do find the push and between them stimulating and interesting.

An excellent 5* listen.

The narration of this book was superb. Christian Rummel and Savannah Peachwood captured the soul's of the two main characters to perfection.

This story is really, really good. I loved the spark between the two main characters Emilia aka 'Help' and Baron aka 'Vicious'. They have a childhood history and the book goes back and forth between the past and present. Vicious is just a horrible, awful, arrogant person. He's not likeable at all, while Emilia is the opposite, sweet and warm. But by the end of the book I was rooting for Vicious all the way. He was a complex character, who despite everything he did and said, won me over.

There are other characters in this story too who really add colour to the world that the author has created.

Very different!

I think a lot of these smut atorues are juat the same, with different characters. And often very boring and flat characters, too. This story was "new" and refreshing, interesting characters and a good dose of humor. It starts a little repetitive, and the female narrator is quite whiny, but the storyline picks up real nice so it becomes a lesser deal.

Emotional!

This has to be my favourite book by this author! Vicious has got to me one of my all time favourite book boyfriends. I love his character progression in this book. Emilia and Vic have a bumpy road to travel before their HEA

Female narrator is terrible

Book it self is good. Not really spicy but okay. But sadly the female narrator is a veiny like 16 years old school girl😩 really terrible to listen. This is perfect Exempel how good book can be destroyed by narrator. It’s better to read it paper back
