About this listen

When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.

And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement.

To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.

After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.

Contains mature themes.

Wow, the first two thirds of this book were absolutely gripping, after that it was a will they won't they end up together, but in your heart you know they will.

Cora and her sister's finance, Dean, who she loves to hate, are kidnapped together and made to do unspeakable things by their captor. They resolve their issues with each other during their captivity as they bond over the situation they find themselves in.

Once they are free, life goes back to 'normal', except for Cora and Dean, life will never be normal again. The dynamic of their relationship has massively changed and now they have to navigate carefully around this new bond whilst trying not to hurt their family in the process.

I found the ending a bit odd, but figured the author is lining up the premise for their next book(s).

The performance of the dual narration was excellent. You could feel the emotion and angst pouring out of them as they relayed the story to the listener, bringing it to life.

Definitely a book I will recommend!

Gripping!

This book was a 4* read! Though this had some dark subject matter, it was more of a beautiful mix of healing and finding connection again after trauma.

Heartbreaking dark and sexy
