Publisher's summary

Come and meet the Stronghold Doms...

Jared and Leigh both know what it's like to be trapped in a seven-year relationship where they give more than they get, the question is whether or not they can move on from them.

Two steps forward, one step back. That's how Jared's life feels when it comes to his ex Marissa. Every time he thinks he's escaped the vortex of her emotional demands, she ends up sucking him right back in; but for the first time, he thinks he might have the strength to pull free entirely. At least he hopes so. Right now it just seems like he's hurting everyone around him and he doesn't know how to make it right.

Leigh Douglas spent seven years with the man she thought she would one day marry, but she's now realized that she needs him to fight just as hard for her as she always fought for him. Since he won't, she's working on getting over him and finding someone who won't take her for granted. On the other side of the equation, she's definitely falling for Jared, but he's still entangled with his ex. No one can understand the hooks that Marissa has in him like Leigh can, but that doesn't mean that she's willing to take the back-seat again in another relationship.

As Jared tries to side-step his ex and Leigh takes her first steps into the domination and submission-filled world of the Stronghold club, their friends hold a collective breath as everyone wonders whose heart will be broken in the end.

This is a full-length character driven BDSM romance with hot scenes and a HEA. It can be listened to on its own, although is more fulfilling when read as part of the Stronghold series. Breaking the Chain is approximately 93k words long.

Love the story but narrator is lacking

I love the overall story 😉 and the character progression, but this narrator is totally lacking.

Narration hurts the Story

I love this series but the narrator does it no justice. The inflections of her voice and her style is not great for the story. I found myself wanting to turn the story off due to the awkwardness.

Big Alpha Dom’s

I love this book! Great characters that you will love if you like big Alpha Doms( which I do!!) fantastic chemistry between all the characters. Written so well. Rose is a new narrator to me and she done a great job.

Excellent Audible book and story

Once again Golden Angel has written another Stronghold book about a group of loyal friends that love and support each other. These are friends that you wish were a part of your life. Jared and Leigh both have different previous relationships that they need to move away from. Jared is the mean looking dom that has a caring heart that is full of love. Leigh cares about the feelings of others. She is looking for a man that can give her guidance and love. Throw in some steamy love scenes and what else could you want.

I received this Audible book in exchange for a review. The narrator did an excellent job of storytelling and creating a wonderful listening experience. I wish I had friends like them. Listening to this Audible book allows you to kick back, visualize, and enjoy.

Great but narrator lacking

I loved this one so much but the narrator voice just was not great, her tone and inflections didn’t bode well for the characters

Finally!

It feels like the books were leading up to this series. I really like it and it took a lot of turns that I wasn't expecting. A great addition to the amazing Stronghold books.

❤️Stronghold Doms🔥Great Listen 🎧 Jared💘Leigh!

4.5 Hot🔥Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is my 2nd Golden Angel book and I enjoyed it as much as my 1st book, “The Sassy Submissive”. She has a great writing style and I love this world she created and the characters in the world. The circle of friends belong to the same BDSM club, Stronghold, their friendships & relationships are unique and tight knit. They support and look out for each other. This is Jared & Leigh’s story, it is a friends to lovers. Both had just gotten out of longterm relationships, Jared’s ex, Marissa, belongs to the club and decides she wants him back. She stirs up trouble and lots of drama for both Jared and Leigh. It was nice to see the crew again, the alpha Doms and Subs. The scenes & kink was fairly pretty tame in this book, Jared is a Dom but nothing hardcore, some punishments, bondage and spanking. Loved the slow burn romance between Jared and Leigh. I am looking forward to listening to more from the Stronghold Doms! Thanks for another great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Rose Lane is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings the characters and their story to life from the pages to your ears. Thank you for a great listen!

Thank you 🎧AudiobookObsession

Friends and Family

Golden Angel has done such a good job with this series!! As I continue to listen, it's starting to feel like the characters are my friends and family. I LOVE seeing them in every book. I'm completely invested in them and their relationships as couples and as friends. I was so excited that Jared and Leigh are a couple! It's exactly what I was hoping for! Jared did irritate me a bit with how he handled his ex. Actually, it was a lot of irritation, but Leigh handled it so lovingly and well thought out. They are so good for each other.

I so want to listen to BOUND TO THE PAST...but Audible hasn't posted it yet!! WHEN AUDIBLE!?!? It's killing me not to get Andrew and Kate's story!

*I received a code and this is my voluntary and honest review.
