Publisher's Summary

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.

Flawless!!!

It was so surprising to find a book with a really good story and good smut at the same time :) Jennifer Hartman nailed it! Story, plot, twists, character building, story building and even going in a very sensitive topic of a victim ptsd. I will not be surprise if this will turn into a movie someday.

I love everything about this book, but the narration of the male lead was too low and didn’t really match the character. I’m glad the female narrator covered about 90% of the book so it’s fine. She nailed all the emotions and has done a great job portraying the character. She brings me to the exact setting of the story from her narration.

I’m so happy i now have a new favourite author I can listen from audible. Can’t wait to read my next book written by Jennifer Hartman :)

4 heartbeats out of 5

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On surface level, it's an angsty love story born from shared trauma from a horrific experience, but that's it, it's surface level. I loved Dean and Cora, but it lacked something 🤔 The bonus chapter was not needed. I was hoping it would be some shocking twist.

Great story- hard to put down

Some darker themes in this one - so not for all. I really enjoyed this story. Yes, a bit predictable but overall I couldn’t stop listening. Great job by the narrators!

dark and intense

Holly heck that was intense. Raw, gritty and terribly sad.
Great narrators who really brought the story in all it's horror to life.

So so good!

Such a gripping story and amazing performance by both narrators, highly reccomended even if you're not normally a dark romance fan.

Every stereotype you can imagine.

This is honestly the worst book I have ever read. As someone who works in trauma for the past 20 years, I am horrified that authors choose such trauma to drive romance in such a fashion. Every character was the most basic stereotype of a person and held no depth and thier progress through the book was so incredibly predictable I was amazed I bothered finishing it. Trauma can be used in fiction to drive a story, but it would be greatbif authors did just a smidge of research before writing.
