About this listen
I never meant to become the obsession of a killer.
Kaden Black was hired to kill me.
He's a scarred ex-soldier with a list of bodies behind him and a decade-old vow of revenge. I'm the key to drawing out the man who destroyed his life – and now I'm under Kaden's ruthless protection.
Every camera he installs strips away another layer of my privacy. Every order he barks reminds me I'm trapped. But when rival assassins break in, it's Kaden's brutal efficiency that keeps me breathing.
I tell myself I hate him. That his dangerous allure doesn't drown out my survival instinct. That I don't crave the possessive glint in his eyes when he looks at me.
I'm lying.
As he spirals deeper into obsession, I realize I have a choice to make. Help Kaden hunt down the monsters from his past, or break free and save myself.
But freedom comes at a price. And it might just cost me the one man I can't bear to lose.
Black Heart is a deliciously dark, obsessive romance with an over-the-top hero with questionable morals and a young woman at his mercy. Warning: mature themes and violence ahead.

Story
He was never supposed to see her. She was never supposed to survive. Emily’s life has always existed in the shadow of the dead. Working at her family’s funeral home, she thought she knew secrets. But nothing prepares her for the night she discovers what really happens after midnight—or the man who’s been watching her from the dark. Ruarc is a killer with a code. Ruthless, disciplined, and loyal only to his criminal family. But the moment he sees Emily, something shifts. She’s meant to be leverage—an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge. Instead, she becomes his obsession.

The last time I spoke was eight years ago when my best friend tried to kill me. I never dreamed my silence would break with a scream. Being sent to Chapel Crest after my new stepfather deemed me a heathen seemed like a blessing compared to staying with him and my mom. I was a mute demon in his eyes, and when the rod didn’t beat the evil out of me, he prayed Chapel Crest could. I envisioned the religious academy would become my sanctuary. I was wrong. So very wrong. Chapel Crest was an asylum moonlighting as a religious school.

Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again. Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

In the once-quiet town of Willow Creek, my life was a steady beat, a rhythmic routine, until the carnival stormed in, a whirlwind of chaos and danger. Under the neon lights and haunting melodies, Cade's eyes found mine—piercing, intense, sending shivers through my soul. He was a dark storm, a looming shadow over my every move. Cade's obsession was relentless, his desire a madness that knew no bounds. Like a predator, he stalked me, every step a calculated move in his sinister dance.

Trapped in the wilderness of Norway, he became both my protector and predator. When I set off to the remote wilderness of Norway for my atmospheric research, I envisioned rain drenched landscapes and fierce weather patterns, not the brooding and dangerously attractive hunter, Aksel. Initially, I admired his rugged intensity, but I soon uncovered the darkness lurking beneath his captivating blue-gray eyes. Trapped in his isolated cabin in a foreign land, I'm forced to navigate not only the unforgiving elements but also Aksel's possessive and primal desires.

Now I'm caught in the crosshairs of four men who leave terror in their wake: Cav, Kaspian, Axe, and Wilder. They stalk the halls of TFU, their presence marked by unexplained disappearances and hushed fears. The puppeteer, the bogeyman, the phantom, and the hellhound.

But I don’t believe in fairy tales. I bought her at an auction. Now I own her for a week. Seven days to make her remember exactly who she was to me. Seven nights to make her pay for every lie.

Ezra Hamilton hasn't felt the warm spurt of blood flow through his fingers or the indescribable feeling of pushing a knife deep into someone's flesh in a long time. Too long. He's been watching a man stalk women, curious as to what he's doing with them. Ezra's never encountered someone with similar dark tendencies before, and what starts off as genuine curiosity turns into much more when Kaspian turns the tables on him. As their chemistry builds, so does the mistrust. They both know they can't trust a killer, but their inner demons call to each other anyway.

This was my first book by Ketley Allison and I am desperate for more! The audio was phenomenal by Hannah Chiclana & Wesley Mercer. At times the Scythe's voice is disguised bringing a whole new element to listening.
If you like dark romance, a scarred hero, some stalking, and a badass heroine this is your book! A top read of the year!

🌶️🌶️🌶️
This is my first book from Ketley Allison, and she had me hooked from the start. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. This had so many of my favorite things, mostly a masked hero. I am a sucker for the morally grey or, in this case, assassin masked hero.
Kaden Black "Scythe" was hired to kill Layla when she overhears something she shouldn't have while at work. Her life is in danger for being in the wrong place, but the person who wants her dead happens to be the man Kaden has been searching for. He became an assassin in order to get vengeance on the man who brought tragedy into his life and he was ruthless in his pursuit of justice. He starts stalking and protecting Layla so he can finally get his revenge, but he soon becomes obsessed.
The obsession isn't one-sided, and they team up to stop his enemy. Layla was such a strong and intelligent heroine. She felt like the perfect match for Kaden's damage. The sexual tension and Kaden's dirty talk were so hot.
The 3rd act and the insane cliffhanger have me shook. I did not see the big reveal coming, and I had no idea this was not a standalone, so I am frustrated because I need the conclusion to their romance now! I can't wait for Red Dreams to come out on January 2025.
Side Note: I love his cat reaper and the kittens he took in.
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
This audiobook was narrated by Wesley Mercer and Hannah Chiclana with duet narration. They did an amazing job building the sexual tension and suspense. I think this was my first time listening to Wesley Mercer, and I am a fan! The distorted voice was so intense when The Scythe was threatening people or dirty talking in his mask. It was giving me major Kylo Ren vibes. Hannah Mercer brought so much depth to Layla's character and made her such a strong heroine.
An Intense Romantic Suspense

🎧📚🎧Ketley Allison chose the perfect cast to bring her characters to life, Hannah Chiclana and Wesley Mercer fantastic voice artists and they did an amazing job humanizing and voicing the characters. I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Chiclana showcased every aspect of Layla’s personality, from her fierceness to her strength and determination, and Mercer did the same as Kaden, from the possessive, over protective alpha and switching it up as the killer Scythe. Both were just as great performing the roles of the secondary characters too. Their pacing and tone were on par with the story and they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two made a great team, with voices and talent that complement one another and a performance that elevates the story to another level. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Ketley did an amazing job with the storyline and plot. Layla’s is fighting to stay alive after over hearing something she shouldn’t have and then finding out she’s had a hit put on her. Kaden lost his daughter and has since been out to find everyone who was involved. He is possessive and protective of Layla and will do anything to her keep her alive. The cliffhanger left me in shock and my mouth open going…what just happened. The story is a perfect mix of slow-burn romance, drama, angst, spice, suspense, emotions, twists and turns, that will keep you hooked from the very first page. Hannah Chiclana as Layla and Wesley Mercer as Kaden did an amazing job with narration. They did an amazing job be becoming these characters. You HAVE to listen to this audiobook and I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book.
What a thrilling, twisty and turning ride that left me hanging!!

Narrated by: @hannahchiclana @awordwithwes
The narration was absolutely superb! Our FMC narrator had this beautiful , slightly raspy voice that emoted SO well! Her sass, fear, affection, was perfection! And I just loved the extra our MMC threw in that really heightened the experience! I don't want to give it away, but you'll hear it very early on and it's 😙👌!
Omigosh! Twists, turns, a true anti-hero MMC you root for with depth, who evolves, and complex. A fantastic FMC, sharp, imperfect, but tenacious, and with just the biggest heart.
And a plot that would completely stand on its own minus the deliciously spicy bits! And boy and those yummy, spicy scenes! This book was a new-to-me authors and I'm officially a fan! I cannot wait for part 2, "re
I did NOT see that plot twist coming!!!

Black Heart follows Layla and Kaden, two people from vastly different worlds, whose lives become entangled in a web of vengeance, deception, and corruption. The story took unexpected turns, adding layers I didn’t anticipate. With a cliffhanger ending, I’m already looking forward to the next book!
