About this listen

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Tracy Lorraine comes a new standalone dark MFM college romance.

As a teenager, my naive heart beat for two boys....

Two unattainable, older, forbidden boys. The kind of boys mothers warn their daughters about.

Tristan was the guy everyone wanted...but he was also my older brother's best friend. Smart, kind, and hot as hell, with a one-way ticket straight to the NFL.

And then there was Knox...my bad-boy stepbrother. Only a year older, he made me feel like it was just a silly crush until the first time he kissed me.

The hot, soon-to-be-inked-up gangster from the wrong part of town broke every rule, and shattered hearts.... I just never expected one of them to be mine.

All these years later, I can barely remember the shy girl I was back then, back before Knox Bowman burned me.

Now I'm a junior at Maddison Kings University, and they just walked back into my life, throwing my world into a tailspin. Tristan is there for me when things go up in smoke. And Knox is there striking matches, tempting me like a ghost in the night with his darkness.

But I'm all grown up now and I'm ready to go after what I want.

And my damaged heart still wants them both.

Things are different now though.

They're lying to me...and the secrets about my past have the power to tear my heart in two.

I admit that the author wanted so much to keep secrets that there were some confusing moments for a long time. It kept me from totally getting the characters at first. But once all the mysteries are revealed, everything makes finally sense. There are still some unanswered questions about side characters, but I suppose they hint at other books–past or future–by the author. It still reads as a standalone.

We get several flashback chapters about Violet’s childhood–and her crushes on her brother’s friends, one of them being their stepbrother. Tristan was the good guy who didn’t dare to act on his feelings in respect of his friend, while Knox was the bad boy not afraid to take what he wanted. But their feelings were real and they never wavered. The flashbacks slowly progress from some innocent kid scenes to the event that changed all their lives.

Fast forward a few years, Tristan is back in Violet’s life, nothing keeping him from showing her how he feels, and Knox reappears to claim what was his. The present scenes show how Violet moves from traumatized and alone, to in charge of her life–and whom she wants to have in it.

The author insists on the differences between the two men in Violet’s life. Tristan is still a good guy, but he can be domineering in the bedroom. On the other hand, gangster Knox is weirdly romantic. While not being enemies, they banter a lot–and tease each other about the time they spend with Violet. There’s still some respect between them, and they agree that they’re both important in their girl’s life. It was an interesting dynamic.

And the sexy was out of this world. This book is really really hot.

It’s violent too. There’s a connection between the main characters and a local gang. Drugs, violence, murders, just mentioned or full on page. It isn’t quite a romantic suspense, but gang stuff is very important to the plot.

The narrators did an excellent job. They nailed the banter, and the emotions too. My main complaint is that there are way too many side characters, that only three narrators can’t possibly differentiate enough, and it becomes a bit confusing at times. But they were perfectly cast for the main characters. Great audio.
