About this listen

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.

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.

Beautiful story

This story is a beautiful heartbreaking story. Definitely have tissues on board before going into this story. It’s dark and hard to get through but worth it in the end. Great job with narrations and the only thing that would make this book better is duel narration.

Heart wrenching

This book took me through all the emotions, conflicting and contractions. The passion and devastation that you experience go hand in hand. It’s a 3 🌶️ for me but it’s the story that carries this.

Beautifully written and preformed.

What a tragically beautiful story

What a beautifully tragic story. Gosh everything about this story was heart wrenching, the trauma, the hate, the love, the pain, the trauma all of it had my heart and brain in a chokehold. This was a fantastic story of taboo and overcoming our traumas, our mind, our ideas of right and wrong and I am here for all of it. I enjoyed every moment of this book, wholeheartedly recommend you give it a go too!

Emotional ride

The way the book was split into different sections and narration alternated in each was interesting in a good way.
The MCs bonded over their I unbelievable trauma and it was finally a HEA, hard fought as it was. I couldn’t stop listening.

Brutal but gripping

This was a good read, well written, had its ups and downs though.

The beginning was brutal but really well portrayed.
I got really frustrated with the middle after they escaped though, almost all their friends and family expecting them to get over it and socialise and date right away.. I just found that annoying. But the couples relationship and interactions and end result was great.

Not a book you read for spice..
