About this listen

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author L.J. Shen comes a brand-new romantic mafia stand-alone about the thin line between love and obsession.

“Maybe we were never meant for each other. But that night at the carnival, when you showed me who you were, I figured out who I wanted to be.”

The most important thing I’d ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston.

Lust lingers, love stays.

Lust is impatient, love waits.

Lust burns, love warms.

Lust destroys, but love? Love kills.

Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster.

When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine.

I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it.

Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark.

Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord.

My name is Aisling Fitzpatrick, and I have a confession to make.

Sam Brennan is not the only monster in this story.

Another good and easy listen in the series. Made more enjoyable by the narration from male and female performers. The right amount of sexy, romance and drama.

Good Listen!

im a firm believer that a rubbish narration can make a great story sound crap and is one of the first things I look for in a review but yet again these 2 deliver another top performance bringing the characters and story to life with their skills. this authors ability to cover prominent and often difficult topics within the storyline in a compassionate manner is one of the reasons I enjoy their books so much, it adds depth to the storyline and helps to build the characters within the books. well worth credit.

another good book

Took a while for me to get into this one....I persevered and enjoyed it in the end, but took a while. Still a good listen. Didn't like the female teller when she did the voice of Sam, but other than that it was fine.

different kinda story...
