About this listen

I was supposed to be over bad boys, and then, I met King.

I had a plan. Bartend at King's Gambit. Earn enough to open my yoga studio. Ignore my dark past. And never fall for the boss.

Easier said than done.

Falling for King is the best mistake I’ve ever made. But he's not the only one with secrets, and when my past comes to call, it could destroy us both.

Rory deserves everything.

Until I met Rory, I didn't do long-term. Now, he has me thinking about forever. But Rory has a past of his own, one I never expected from the mild-mannered yoga instructor.

He says he can accept my gangland past, but I'm still recovering from my own scars. I can't worry about my own issues when my boyfriend is in danger.

But to keep him safe, I may need to become more dangerous than either of us can imagine.

King owns and runs the King's Gambit, where Rory is a bar-tender. Rory fell for King hook line and sinker but was that a good thing as King had a past running with a gang. Rory also had a history of running away from something.

Things get dicey halfway through when damage started happening at the club, and Rory considers running yet again.

Be prepared for kidnapping, a killing. We do have a HEA, but it's not the end of the story. I can't wait for book 3.

These two main characters are great together, and Austin Jay did a great job narrating this book.

MM contemporary romance with violent themes due to past gang affiliation. Rory has spent his entire life on the move, running with his Mam to escape his father's reach. But it appears that he's been found again, here in Chicago. Now he has 2 choices, to run again or stay in Chicago with King but first he has to tell king what's going on and who he really is. A fantastic continuation from book 1, needs to be listened/read in series order as story follows straight on from the first book. fantastic narration from Austin Jay.

This is an absolutely fantastic continuation of King and Rory's story. As the end of book I (King's Gambit), there was a teaser that this book would explore Rory's past...and what a past. You need to read the books in order, because each builds on the one before. I love these characters including the wonderful side characters who support King and Rory. There is darkness, danger, still some secrets, friendship, passion, and love. I cannot wait for the next book and (hopefully) their ultimate victory and HEA.

The narration is good and keeps this fast-paced story moving along.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Rory’s past finally catches up with him but will King be able to keep him safe?

Rory and King had a lot to work through and needed to trust each other. They got there in the end!

Fantastic book. The narrator did a brilliant job bringing the characters to life.

Enjoyed it
