Loved it!

This is my first Amo Jones book but she is often recommended in various dark romance groups so I was very familiar with the name, but I have a huge backlog of books to listen to and just haven't gotten to one of hers yet. Well, today I did, and now I wish I hadn't waited so long to listen to one. I chose Sicko first as the cover and the name of the book just drew me in so this became my first Amo book.

I was a little concerned it would be a pitch black story and more than I could handle but I was 2.5 hours in and it was still fairly light. I was starting to think I might have been misled but then the darkness came slithering in, slow at first, until it got darker and darker. It wasn't pitch black but it's definitely not a story for everyone. I loved it, though, and have now found a new author to stalk.

Sicko was intense with dark and creepy characters and a storyline that was full of twists and turns. It kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this story to any dark/forbidden/taboo romance fans. You won't be disappointed.

Sarah Puckett is a favorite narrator of mine. She always does an amazing job with both male and female characters. Matt Haynes is new to me, and although his part was much smaller, he also did a great job with his dual narration. Both really brought this story to life for me.

A Wild and Twisted Ride....

Having never experienced an Amo Jones book before, I was super excited to dive into this one, and with a name like Sicko, how can you not be intrigued? I don't do blurbs, so when I went in blind I was definitely hooked from early on with the story line and curious as to where things were going to go.

Royce and Jade had such a strong bond even from a young age, when Jade entered Royce's life as a foster sister. He was fiercely protective and caring and his friends took her in and treated her as if she was their sister too....until everything changed when Jade was 15 and Royce just up and disappeared leaving Jade heartbroken. Royce's departure from Jade's life unknowingly started another chain of events that would irreparably change her life forever.

This book had a lot of moving parts and a lot of characters, some of which came to light more so at the end of the book. I really loved Wicked. I definitely think he was a huge highlight of the book, and I would love to read more about him. I did overall enjoy Royce/Sicko and Jade as the main characters though I did question some of their actions at times. I did find the big part of the book easy to figure out but it did not take away from the enjoyment of listening to the story. I did feel like A LOT happened at the end of the book (last hour or so), almost a bit too much. I definitely think the premise of the story was very interesting and I did overall really enjoy the characters and the narration was absolutely fantastic!!! Overall I would definitely recommend this as it was an entertaining listen.

Narration by Sarah Puckett and Matt Haynes was absolutely on point. Sarah Puckett is truly one of the best female narrators out there as she can do both female and male parts equally well, which makes listening a truly great experience. Matt Haynes is a new narrator for me, but I think he did a great job overall and I look forward to listening to more of his work in the future. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

Dark Taboo Motorcycle Club Romance

Sicko by Amo Jones is a dark taboo motorcycle club romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett and Matt Haynes.

This is the first book of Amo's that I have read and it won't be last. I was pulled into the book and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. The chemistry between Royce and Jade is off the charts. Their relationship is messy, but you couldn't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Sarah and Matt did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, taboo romances, motorcycle club romances, or romantic suspense.

Duchess & Sicko

I picked this up once some time ago and maybe it wasn't the right time for it. So when the opportunity to give it ago again came, I took the plunge. It’s one of those books that are always rec’d and that can go either way.

Jade and Royce, foster siblings, who became very close when they were children. Royce is sent away. Jade needs to get through life without him.

Sicko is the one who returns. And that’s when things heat up all around.

If you’re looking for a raunchy MC story with dark components, this one's for you.

Audio ARC provided by Pink Flamingo Productions, with Sarah Puckett and Matt Haynes doing their thang and bringing the story to life.

Read/Listen Responsibly.

Dark, Twisted & Breathtaking

Sicko is the very definition of dark romance. Amo Jones is a genius; she has weaved an intricate and tightly-knit web filled with dark, intimate, twisted, and dangerous corners. Before going into this book and based on the few reviews I had read, my expectations were pretty high. Once I started listing, I was totally blown away by the sophistication of the character and plot development. Royce (aka Sicko) is the strong silent type, complex, dominant, enigmatic, subtle, and totally protective of Jade. Jade is strong-willed, determined, well-rounded, and independent; I thought she was absolutely amazing.

Their backstory, connection, attraction, and bond was pretty solid, and their love for one another is endless. Their story is captivating, raw, gut-wrenching, emotional, unpredictable, angsty, passionate, hot, and utterly gratifying. I loved the intensity; while listening, my heart pounded with excitement and anticipation, wondering what was coming next. There were some very appealing and fascinating secondary characters, and I'm really looking forward to more of the Wolfpack MC.

Exceptional narration by Sarah Puckett and Matt Haynes. Their portrayal of the characters was immaculate, capturing the very essence of Sicko and Jade, breathing life into them. Puckett and Haynes definitely made the story even more engaging. Overall, Sicko was a breathtaking, sensual, and intense ride. A fantastic listen and brilliantly written dark MC romance with triggers for some, and one I'll highly recommend.

WOW

I loved the dual narration of Sarah Puckett and Matt Haynes, just brilliant.

Sweet Lord this book pulled at all my emotions and then pulled even more. This is the story of Jade and her foster/adopted brother Royce.
Royce has been her overbearing protector, even his best friends have taken Jade underneath their wings, like most big brothers are of their little sisters. One day Royce just leaves and he and Jade do not meet again for four years.
Jade has grown a hard shell. Jade is going through her own private hell. She and her best friend Sloane are attending the same university, it happens to be in Royce's town. And he's also changed. Now answers to the road name of Sicko, V.P of the Wolfpack MC.

Loads of twists and turns, kept me definitely on my toes

I got so angry , and wanted to shout . Oh James , so wanted to push him off a cliff. This book does not hid that there are so many sick and evil human beings are out there.

Loved this book

Unexpected

I have always been cautious when seeing this author’s works… But man I was hooked with this one. From the start to the end 😊

The relationship between Royce and Jade was outstanding. Royce has been everything to Jade. Her protector, her confidant and her secret crush. Just when she thought there could be more between them, he disappears. And she is left in her own sort of hell.

Its been four years since Royce has left. He didn’t just leave his home, his family he left her. Jade is going through something unimaginable. Something that nobody knows about. And she is suffering while putting up a front of having a ‘nothing matters to me’ attitude. And then he just walks right back into her life. His no longer the boy she knew. He is so much darker now and on top of it he is the VP of an MC. And for some reason he cant stand her…

The chemistry between these two are off the charts. My heart was just so sore for Jade. And what she had to endure. But the relationship she and Royce had was so explosive. Like at any moment it was going to explode. Both of them have their own secrets, but they also cant deny their attraction to each other either. This was an emotional, angst filled, don’t know whats going to happen next kind of read for me. And I was hooked.

The narrator for this series wasn’t too bad. I have done audio’s by Sarah before. Was my first one with Matt Haynes though was okay maybe I wanted a more deeper voice, but I still enjoyed the audio 😊 I will definitely do another book by this author again 😊

Twisty and Captivating

OMG - I loved this audiobook! The narrators were perfection bringing Royce and Jade to life for me and the taboo, twisty, dark and gritty plot was captivating from the first chapter to the last. This was my very first Amo Jones book and wasn't sure what to expect, but I found characters I fell in love with including side characters, a plot that kept me wanting more and on the edge of my seat waiting for the next twist. There were a few times I thought I missed info but later found out what I needed as the mystery unravels and more info and context is given. Such an incredible storyteller with webs of details and events to keep track of. Royce and Jade had an intensity to them and their chemistry and connection was felt throughout. I would love to see more books from the MC characters in Sicko.

***Dark/Taboo situations so definitely check CW/TW

Loved this!

I've been wanting to read/listen to an Amo Jones book for some time now but hadn't had time etc. So when the opportunity arose to listen to Sicko I jumped at it.
OMG! I don't know why I didn't start sooner.
This book is so good!
Taboo-y, twisty, suspenseful, steamy goodness all wrapped up in one 'sick' book!
I loved it so much and am definitely jumping on the Amo Jones bandwagon.

One little thing... for some reason the male narrator voice sounded robotic? It kept throwing me off but I quickly got over it.

A Mind-Blowing Story Superbly Done! Amazing🎧📚🎧

Wow, just wow, this book should come with a warning label stating: “Prepare to be wowed and to have your Mind-Blown”, because it does just that on so many levels. I am not sure how this is my first book written by Amo Jones, I can only say I will definitely check out more of her books. She is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style and a brilliant mind, a brilliantly twisted mind and I mean that in the most complementing of ways. She created and weaved a complex story, her characters are equally complex. Her descriptive details bring you into story alongside the characters and into their minds, enabling you to see, think and feel everything they are. Once you start the book, it is hard to stop because you need to know what happens next. The affluent Kane family took jade, a foster child in and she bonded quickly with their son Royce, who became her protector. The crowd they ran with was all from money and had expensive toys, including yachts and high end cars. None of them bothered or went near Jade because of Royce scared them off and he vowed to always protect her. But he ups and leaves with no notice, leaving her not only heartbroken but vulnerable too. It forever changed both their lives after he left. Royce does not return home for a few years and when he does, he is not the same person as when he left, regardless Jade wants nothing to do with her. She is not happy about it but he makes his way back into her life and what a twisted life it has become. There are many layers to this brilliantly plotted story, a story that is dark, twisted and intense, a story that may take you out of your comfort zone but stick with it because the payoff in the end is not only worth it but it will blow your mind. It is a romantic suspense novel that will bring you to the edge of your seat, give you goosebumps and have you wondering WTF, the heat factor is high, as is the angst, the story definitely takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Amo Jones that you for this mind-blowing story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Amo Jones chose the perfect cast to bring her story and characters to life. Matt Haynes and Sarah Puckett are superbly talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable in every role they played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Sarah Puckett killed it as Jade, captured her innocence and then transformed as her character did. Matt Haynes was pretty badass but was not afraid to show his softer side when it came to Jade. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, their narration enhances an already exceptional story to another level. Thank you for this amazing listen.
