About this listen
What was supposed to be the typical “girls night out” with a couple of drinks, and a fun catch-up with her best friend, turns into something completely different for married, but lonely, Eloise Fitzpatrick. She wasn’t expecting to get stood up by her bestie, or to have a tall, dark and dangerous stranger hit on her and steal a kiss under the street lamp.
Her unexpected night causes an eruption of conflicting emotions inside of her, including the crushing sense of betrayal to her husband. For the first time in years, Eloise finds herself feeling sexy, desired, wanted…But the guilt of these feelings threatens to consume her. Her husband, Caleb, may currently be married to his job, but she can remind him of why he married her first. Eloise is determined to pour more energy into her marriage to make it work, and forget the handsome stranger with the heart stopping kisses.
Unfortunately for Eloise, the stranger has other plans, and they do not include a happily ever after with Caleb. His obsession isn’t just leading Eloise astray… it is taking her down a dark path that may be the destruction of more than just her marriage.
Astray is an adult dark romance with dark themes of betrayal, stalking, SA, kidnapping and is intended for mature audiences only.
©2023 Poppy Fitzgerald (P)2025 Poppy FitzgeraldSo much angst, tension, emotion, understanding, drama, spice and so much love between Caleb and Eloise, it’s a beautiful love story for the ages underneath what was a harrowing experience for the FMC when she is stalked and gaslit by a man hell bent on coercive and controlling behaviour.
This book explores heavy topics so please check your TW before listening.
As for the performances; WOW. I’m so glad this was in duet narration style as it really helps the book to flow and enhances the listener experience. Lucas Webley’s voice is just phenomenal, he is such a good narrator, one of my favourites (top 5). His emotion throughout his story telling; I felt it all. The same can be said for MK, she was simply amazing. I’m so glad these two got to partner together on this book and I hope they’ll do more projects together in the future. Poppy please can you release further works on Audible as I don’t read books due to my mental health challenges, I rely wholly on audiobooks for my fiction fix and can’t wait to listen to more of your work.
Amazing book, well worth a credit, it won’t be long until I listen to this again and will be one of my annual favourites to revisit for a long time ❤️
WOW!! This is soooooo good!
