About this listen

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of TikTok's favourite dark and steamy romance, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen's second book in the New York Times bestselling Into Darkness trilogy
I want this woman, and I'm a man who always gets what he wants.

Nico 'Junior' Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. Men like him don't get to have women like her. It's why he pushed her away in high school and still keeps his distance. But Junior follows Lauren online, and now that the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone, he can't stop obsessing over the strikingly beautiful woman who has taken her place.

He's ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.

Lauren 'Lo' Marchetti knows Junior is dangerous. He broke her heart once and she won't let him do it again. But as their flirtatious encounters escalate, Lauren starts to remember why she fell for the brooding antihero all those years ago.

As old obstacles resurface, Junior and Lauren are forced to face their true feelings for each other and decide just how far they're willing to go for a second chance at love.

Caught Up is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to listeners. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

18+ mature content. Not suitable for younger listeners.

Editorial Review

He’s a mobster. She’s his obsession
I didn’t think I’d fall this hard for Nic and Lo, but Caught Up pulled me in fast and didn’t let go. The story follows Lauren, a cam girl who’s built her life on her own terms, and Nico, the mobster who never really let her go even after betraying her years ago. What starts as an unwelcome reunion slowly unravels into something darker, deeper, and unexpectedly tender. The performances by Kasi Hollowell, Jason June, and Teddy Hamilton were SO steamy, making it impossible to stop listening. I wasn’t ready for how much I’d care about these characters. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Great book

Great story line just like the first book, however the narration definitely left in the first books shadow. I was hoping for a similar level of expertise but unfortunately it felt a little cringe and forced. It would have been incredible to have Elena and Jacob back to voice their parts again.

Narration a bit… meh

Love these books. Only criticism was that the mob side of things wasn’t featured much to go with their back story. Still a great listen!

Great series

Another great book by Navessa Allen.
Teddy Hamilton and Kasi Hollowell did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. ❤️
After listening to Josh in Lights Out with the humour throughout it, I was so happy to find he was in this book too continuing his antics and kept me laughing/snorting. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This was the perfect follow on to Lights out. The story and the link back to Josh and Ally were perfect.

But what I loved was that Nik and Lauren were their own people and they brought their own feel to this book. The passion, love and general acceptance was stunning!!! And so freakin well written. Nik was not goofy and funny like Josh, so the humour wasn’t as present but the devotion and heart was!!!

This was also SUPER steamy and spicy, so be prepared.

Hello communication!!! I never thought open communication, apologies and grovelling could actually be this hot… they were!

I loved it! My only feedback the performances were awesome, but I would’ve loved to have reprised voices for Josh and ally, I’m enjoying having audios that build on the series like this have a bigger cast and grow with each book. That would’ve been next level.

Steamy in more ways than you think
