About this listen

An all-new dark romance within the Lords world from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Shantel Tessier.

HIS SECRET

A Lord takes what he wants.

But like anything else, even he can get greedy and betray his oath.

That’s where Carnage comes in.

A Spade brother runs their prison for those who have wronged their society.

It just so happens to be where the Lords have sent me.

I VOW.

YOU VOW.

WE VOW.

Most women within the Lords don’t get the chance to prove themselves worthy of the brand or the power that comes with it, but there’s always an exception.

I’m one of them.

Finally, my time had come to be assigned to a Lord.

Not just any Lord but a Spade brother—Haidyn Jamison Reeves.

I had everything under control until he found out what I was hiding.

Everyone in our world knows the only way to get to the top is to sacrifice something the Lords want.

So, when Haidyn gave me a choice—become his toy or turn me over to the Lords—the decision was easy.

I’ve worked too hard to get this far to allow a man to take what I’ve earned.

I chose to become his dirty little secret over admitting I failed.

It didn’t take long for him to unravel my web of lies, thread by thread, until nothing was left.

He took over my life, blurring the lines until I discovered that what I thought I wanted was no longer what I needed.

But even in our world, nothing lasts forever.

Time had run out.

The hourglass lay broken on the floor, shattering not only my future but everything I knew.

I never thought that falling in love with a Spade brother would reveal so many secrets.

And when they all came to light, the Lord who blackmailed me was the only one I could count on.

This is such a great story. The narration is amazing! Definitely a great way to round out the year. 🖤

Love!

So many emotions! I cried, laughed, there were a few moments when I was in utter shock! The narrators did an excellent job, I believe they were perfectly chosen for this book! It deserves more than 5 stars

Perfect!

While I’ve read the entire series thus far, Hayden and Charlottes story is probably my favorite. It was the perfect blend of SPICE and gut wrenching love. I’ll admit, I struggled to connect with Sin and Tyson as they seemed unnecessarily cruel with no redeeming qualities. Why did these women “fall” for them?!
But Hayden does not disappoint 😍

Pros:
-SPICE- the true hero of this story. While some scenes seemed duplicated, I was thrilled to actually have a love-making scene in a love story. It can’t always be brutal savagery. Though, I was pleasantly surprised by with the creative yet realistic positions used.

-face paced- it was a thrilling ride

-emotional- I actually cried ugly tears a time or two while reading

-realistic

Cons:
-length- many times it felt repetitive; could have been 2/3rds as long.

Oh Hayden

My new name for these books is the good girl series. Perfection. The actor doing Haidens voice was just oh my gosh. I will be listening again because I don't think hearing it once will be enough.

Whew

When I saw the audio was nearly 24 hours long, I honestly thought I’d never finish it — let alone blow through it in 3 days 😂

The ending was way more satisfying than Carnage, while also leaving some nuggets of ‘wtf is going on’ within the LORDS world.

And sorry, Tyson — you’ve been dethroned as my favorite Lord. Haidyn now takes the crown 👑
The Sinner is still my favorite of the series, but Madness came REAL close to claiming that spot too.

Technically, Madness is a standalone within the LORDS series — you definitely don’t want to read it as a standalone. The LORDS books are too deeply interconnected to skip any of the previous books.

Both Narrators did a wonderful job. 🖤

Desiree wonderful as ever. Her narrating emotional scenes *chefs kiss*

This was my introduction to Covin King and he didn't disappoint. He brought Haidyn's good heart, and pain to life.

One scene out of many was acted (narrated) exactly how it was envision like when I first read it and it made me cry just like when I first read it.

A great listen 🖤

Amazing

Finally finished this book. She’s a thick girl and I loved every minute of it. Hayden and Charolette are my favorite LORDs couple to date. Corvin and Desiree were top tier in this story.

Favorite LORD so far 🖤✨⏳
