Summary
I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next.
Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other.
But then I’m taken captive by someone else and told I am the sacrifice, that I’m now property. A payment for a debt that has nothing to do with me.
Now I wish I could go back to that boring, safe life. Because this can’t possibly be my fairy tale.
NOTE: This is a dark contemporary standalone that occurs in the same world as The Proposal. This book can be listened to first or completely by itself.
If you like dark alpha male billionaires that kidnap the heroine into a contract marriage of convenience, you'll love The Sacrifice.

Amazing dark romance
My first Kitty Thomas book and it did not disappoint. She did such a good job of balancing dark romance with a heroine who still has her own agency and I loved it. I can’t wait to read more from her.
Narration: Duet narration and Jason Clarke was *chef’s kiss*

Dark & Delicious!
I love new authors and going into a book cold. Both of these are true and it turns out to be not only an attention grabber, but dark and delicious! Meet Macy. A thirty year old virgin, marrying a boy she made a pact with about marriage if both were still single at thirty. Even though Macy is a virgin, she does harbor dark needs and the lack of chemistry with her fiance is worrisome to her. But she continues her planning when she is kidnapped by her best friend's husband, Soren. Using her as a payment for a debt, she has become the sacrifice and will be the slave for Colin Black. He is a powerful man, dangerous and demanding. While scared, she does feel a kinship to him, and knows he is the man to fulfill her needs and dreams. But how does Colin feel? Will he keep her and take her as the sacrifice? I loved this book! It is the second in a duet, but I didn't listen to the first one and don't feel like I am behind at all. Colin is the alpha male, and his dominance is felt immediately. I love how Macy puts him off kilter though, all it takes is a good woman! Macy is a bit frustrating at times. I would have made some different decisions, but it does all play out in the end. I do wish there was more to their story, and hope down the road we get a look at how it develops.
The narration for this book is spot on! Jason Clarke pulls out the dark and decadent as Colin. His alpha male persona is dangerous sounding, but he holds that soft interior just under his skin. Addison Barnes is naive and adventurous as Macy. She pulls off her frustration(loved the cake tasting) and adds her sensuality to her dreams. It's a fantastic pairing for this story!

Excellent Story & Narration🎧Great Twists!
Kitty Thomas pens another dark and twisted story, a story that grabbed my attention from the very first scene and wow, what a scene it is and what a tease. Macy Laine, the sweet Macy Laine has kept her virtue for thirty years, she and William, a friend from college, had a pact that if they were still single at thirty, they would marry each other. She is busy planning her wedding, but she has reservations about it, the biggest being there is no chemistry between them and as sweet as Macy is she has some dark desires. Then her life takes a sudden turn, she is taken by Soren to pay off a debt to Colin who intends to sacrifice and will become a sacrifice to the members of an exclusive club. Colin Black, a dominant alpha master, through and through, he knows what he wants and takes it. Macy is a real gem, nothing like any of the women he had before and he is going to have his way with her and have her asking for more. The plotting in this book is amazing, so are the twists and turns, which are mind-blowing. The story is well written and has the perfect balance of drama, angst, some witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions, an unconventional romance and steamy and well done kink. Kitty Thomas, thank you for the great story and wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fantastic narration, Jason Clarke and Addison Barnes were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying. Barnes’ Macy was fantastic, grasping every side of her personality, her sweet and innocent side to her passionate side. Clarke nailed it as Colin, as the intense, dark and demanding alpha he was. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen.

This Dark Romance left me breathless!
This is my first Kitty Thomas book, but it won’t be the last. The stunning narration of Jason Clark and Addison Barnes is off the charts excellent! I listened to this story in two sittings. It was such a treat to listen to, I didn’t want to stop. (Why do we need things like sleep and work anyway?)
This story is kinky, dark, engrossing, and amazing. What if your darkest fantasies might come true? What if that reality is messy, complicated, exciting, twisted, destructive and freeing, all at the same time? That’s exactly what this book was like.
I loved this book! Five enthusiastic stars across the board. Although this is the second book in the series, it stood well on its own. I am going purchase Book 1 since Book 2 was so amazing.

Amazing dual narration from Jason Clarke and Addison Barnes, perfect in all the best ways.
Macy is the innocent friend of Livia who finds herself at the mercy of Colin. Who is dark and foreboding. Macy, may be a virgin and librarian, but she has some very dark fantasies. Macy gets kidnapped. and she is the payment for her best friends husbands debts. This book has dark elements, humour , a great sexy dark romance, Brilliant characters, plot , hear, steam and BSDM.
