About this listen

Cort van Breda has won 35 death matches as a fighter in an MMA circuit so deep underground there are no rules, and only the winner gets out alive.

They call him the Sick Heart.

They say he's a shameless monster.

They say he's a ruthless killer.

They say he's as twisted as the man who owns him.

They say a lot of things about Cort van Breda.

But in our world violence is money, and money is winning, and winning is life, and life is the only thing that matters.

Except...he wasn't meant to win that last fight.

And I wasn't meant to be his prize.

But he did.

And I am.

And now his sick heart owns me.

Warning: This is a sweet love story adrift in an ocean of evil. It is about two survivors dealing with their darkest secrets while they fight to change their lives. It is for mature listeners only and has descriptions of deeply disturbing situations. There will be pearl clutching.

I've been avoiding reading this author as I had a feeling her stories were too dark for me.
it's a slow moving story that takes you through the trials of the 2 main characteristics coming to find themselves and eachother, then Ms Huss takes you on a journey into the dark, dark world of untouched evil human trafficking.
the unique plotline of writing a world in silence allows the author to describe in depth different personalities of each character which Is what tends to drag you in to the book.
it's gritty and raw but then the sub-plot is even more heartbreaking. loyalty, betrayal, trust all is so important in this novel even though in this dark world none of it exists. I'm left angry about the theme but angrier at the characters that turn...I'm was waiting for the h
I didnt find a trigger but some might. the

I could pick this book apart and say what could have been better about it for me, but it wouldn't be enough to say that you shouldn't listen to it. It is so creatively conjured and then woven together that the sex scenes (although *chefs kiss*) did not outshine the story or narration. I'm very new to the dark romance book genre and have often found myself bored with predictable plots, even "twists." This is not one of these. There is nothing cliche about this book, and the development of relationships between characters was a testament to this IMO. Also, there wasn't a lot of soppy love shit but I definitely felt it all the same.

Oof.

You have to listen or read to understand the the twist, great gritty story, with horrifying truths.
For me definitely worth 5plus.
I enjoyed the narrators, I enjoyed Her perspective and His. Theirs. I enjoyed the main characters and those close to them.
Learning to understand silence..
Triggers could be a problem for some..
I really enjoy JA’s talk at the end and learning her frame of mind when writing, it gives confirmation and again understanding..
Good job

Such well crafted characters and harrowing journeys we are invited along to bear witness to. I’ll be reflecting on their hard won life lessons for sometime.

This moving journey will stay with me

i really enjoyed so much about this book. i love the sound of Troy's voice as narrator. The story challenged my beliefs at times but i got past all that to be blown away by the amazing courage of the characters. My brain and myself thank you for writing a wonderful book that is not just cookie cutter mainstream, but engaged and moved me in unexpected ways.

JA Huss is one of my favourite authors & I always look forward to reading the next one book when I start a series. This is yet another to add to the list of books I’ve enjoyed. This book is definitely not sunshine, rainbows & roses, and is kinda darker with parts of the storyline. You still pick up on the sparks etc between the characters while their stories are unfolding & things start falling into place.

Another great book by a great author
