About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author Tijan comes the intensely passionate story of a man trying to make amends and the woman who makes him want to keep his promises.

This was my place. My business. Easter Lanes.

Then a guy comes in, trying to rob me, daring to take it away from me.

My home. My life.

Hell no. I won’t let my livelihood be threatened.

No one knows what I’ve done to build this life for myself.

Except he might.

Ashton Walden, a man I remember from when we were kids.

Even back then I could tell how dangerous he would be one day.

He’s now the head of the Walden mafia family, and my father is so in debt to them that they practically own him.

My dad and I are estranged and I want nothing to do with him or his debt, but the day after the attempted robbery, I don’t wake up in the hospital.

I wake up in Ashton Walden’s home. And he drops a bomb on me.

If I want my livelihood back, I need to earn it back.

And thus begins our cruel arrangement.

Great book, loved the female reader but the male reader was painful to listen to. It’s as though he couldn’t get his accent right and he just sounded weird and creepy. Really off putting. I hate putting a negative spin on any of Tijan’s books because they are worth it. Wish I’d just stuck with Kindle for this one. Shame because the female reader deserved 5 stars but could only give 3 and they belong to her.

Love Tijan’s Books

Unfortunately I did not finish this book. The female narrator uses volume for emphasis which means that I was constantly needing to adjust the volume and go back for pieces I missed. Although this wasn’t the main problem, which was that when she was speaking it was difficult to differentiate between what was narration and what was being said as the voice didn’t always change. This makes following along VERY difficult. Even the voices for the other characters were sometimes the same. I can’t really comment on the story as I couldn’t finish. It’s unfortunate as I like her voice. This one I will have to read the old fashioned way!

The female narrator makes this hard to listen to
