Summary

2026 Audie Award Finalist for Best Erotica Audiobook

Torment: Part One is a dark, taboo, MC, contemporary romance.

How did I get here? Broken, bruised, and mentally shattered. For most of my life, my older stepbrother, Shay, was my hero, my rock, and my best friend. The one I knew I could always rely on. For many years, I accepted everyone and everything around me. But as I grew up, the veil was lifted, and I slowly came to understand how f*cked up it all really is.

These men, who I considered uncles and close family friends, are members of the dominant MC, The Celtic Beasts. Shay is not only a proud member. He is the one they send in to do their dirty work. For some reason, this tough, muscled, terrifying guy, needs me to ground and comfort him. But I have always had bigger plans. Bigger dreams. I don’t want to be trapped here, in this life that is dark, bloody and violent. I want to get out, escape… but Shay has other plans for me.

What do you do when your protector becomes the very root of your torment?

What a book. Shay and Mina have always held a special place in my heart and I’m so glad to revisit their story again through this amazing audiobook. Rylee was sensational. The voice of Shay and the other males Raylee did, was incredible. 👏👏👏

Loved it in 2022. Love it even more on audiobook

This book makes you experience deep emotions. I thought I had read dark romances before, but this one takes first place. I realized that I found myself in some moments of the story. It shows manipulation through words and how twisted the “love” of someone you think loves you can be—when in fact, it isn’t love at all, but control.

It emotionally destroyed me.

First off, this audio book could of been so much better with two or more narrators. The voice changes just wasn’t doing it for me. Also once I heard the gasps after nearly every word I just distracted me.


Now to the story.

This book is full of taboos, the main one being child grooming, and believe me I was fully manipulated by the characters myself. The love bombing the guilt tripping and so on HAD ME. 🚩

I have soo many theories about certain parts in this book, and excited to go onto torment part 2, (even better it’s narrated by two M&F)

As per always make sure to check trigger warnings.

It’s a strong 4.5 stars from me ⭐️

I feel fully manipulated
