Summary

Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate being raped by her boyfriend. She had two choices: Call the cops and be killed by his family's mafia connections or kill him first and hope to survive.

There was no choice to her. She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her: Carter Reed. He's a weapon for the rivaling mafia family, but he's also Emma's secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she's the reason he became that weapon in the first place.

Yum! Carter reed

Would you consider the audio edition of Carter Reed to be better than the print version?

The audio edition is just as good as the printed version

What was one of the most memorable moments of Carter Reed?

The most memorable moment for me was when he admits that he loves her,but then again I'm a softie when it comes to romance,and when he tells her that he has always protected her in her life and explains how,great action with romance.

Have you listened to any of Lucy Rivers’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any other performances from Lucy rivers,so I carnt compare this audio book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When carter explains to Emma how he got involved with the mafia and why he done it,all started with her brother.that he never really left her alone she had been watched since her brothers death,that part really moved me.

Any additional comments?

A great action packed story with twist and turns and also romance,a bit of everything.i loved the story and how it came altogether,and have read recently that Tijan is writing up a sequal.carnt wait for that one.
Highly recommend this audio book.

I loved this book, my first Tijan book.

I loved this book, my first Tijan book.

Emma has a great group of friends now but has had it hard growing up. Bouncing from foster home to foster home. Her brother AJ was killed by the Mafia when she was little.
She found her roommate being raped by the boyfriend and then killed the bastard. She had 3 choices, call the cops, get killed by boyfriends mafia connections or call Carter!!!

This book is not for the faint of heart.
I would recommend this book.

Great story

I really enjoyed listening to book. The narration was so good, it really brought the characters to life. I loved the story too, it was brilliantly plotted and absorbing throughout.

A bit over dramatic for my liking

As a preliminary point I’m not a huge fan of mafia romances. I find them implausible and there are usually huge holes. I often find myself thinking “he would just have killed her! Why didn’t he just kill her?” Or some such. I decided to listen to this one because it was by Tijan, who I generally love.

Also, maybe some spoilers ahead.

It was an ok listen, and I confess I didn’t find the holes I usually find in mafia romances. The pay off as to why he got the two families to agree, and his buy-out were plausible. The ins and outs of what happened after Emma killed Jeremy (seriously? Jeremy? A mobster’s son is called Jeremy? Nah, Jeremy is a posh English twit who eats paste and works in finance after having gone to Elton! - but anyway ….), worked. I did however find it somewhat overly dramatic. Emma particularly was irritating, constantly spacing out and repeating herself, the inner monologues, literally hammering home the point, and what had happened etc - yes we got it, Ben literally sold her out, we got it the first time the money was mentioned. In addition there wasn’t enough of Carter imho, it really needed to be much more dual pov, as he was almost a bit part player, just flitting in and out as Emma did her amateur dramatics about town. I got that he’s a killer, but other than that I didn’t really get the feels for him like I usually do with Titan’s anti-heroes. He just seemed a bit flat.

The performance from Lucy was OK but she also seemed to be over dramatic adding further to it.

I’ll probably listen to the second one - but not for a while. I’m not sufficiently invested in the characters to care that much about what happens next.

A Brutal and Emtional Read/Listen.💥 📖 🎧

Carter Reed
By: Tijan
Audiobook 🎧
Narrated by: Lucy Rivers
Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Emma, in saving her friend from a brutal assault by her own 'm0bbed up' boyfriend, condems herself!😔 She has nowhere to turn except her late brothers best friend, Carter Reed!

Carter had gone deep with the 'm0b' to avenge his best friends brutal 💀. He's infamous, a decade later, but he's also almost out. He's rich in his own right, legitimately. Then finally Emma walks back into his life.😍

This is a brutal but emotional read. Emma and Carter fall hard and fast, or is it that their feelings pick up where they left off? He'll do literally anything to protect her. He's prepared to go to w@r if necessary.💥
