About this listen

Bane

Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud.

Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.

Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all - looking humbled.

Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently.

Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Jesse Carter

Hot as hell, cold as ice.

I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.

She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.

She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad.

More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.

Little does she know, I have the f--king teeth for it.

i think this is my favourite in the Sinner of saint series. Thank you L J Shen. Now the book does have dark matter that maybe disturbing for some readers in parts and a little for me too-I would have to say regardless, I absolutely loved it. Both Jesse and Bane are great characters. Bane had me laughing out loud more often than not with his mind banter. :) The narrators do a truly wonderful job!! Especially Christian Rummel, such a sexy male voice.

Bane :- Man-whore, escort, surfer, conman, drug dealer - making deals and trying to match it with the money men.
Jesse :- Gang rape victim, knife scarred, recluse.
Her stepdad wants Bane to bring Jesse out of hiding and back into the world. There are rules, but Darren will put money into Banes development if he succeeds.

Bane is probably the best L J Shen book to date. Vicious being a close second. But there is something about Bane. He’s damaged, yet willing to live. He’s a smart ass, but as clever as hell. He’s dirty and sexy. He is the absolute paradoxical anti-hero.

But one of the best qualities I enjoyed about the book was Bane’s dialogue. His clairvoyant attitude sets him apart.

The male narration by Christian Rummel was spot on for Bane’s character. He speaks at a faster pace than other narrators which is consistent with the speed at which Bane’s thought process works. He’s constantly thinking and debating and reflecting and at times philosophising.

The female character was very well developed but I found her narration annoying at times. I think Christian Rummel did a better job.

What’s not to love! Well done Shen! My only regret is it appears there won’t be a Bane part 2.

WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT BANE!!!
