About this listen
Lucy Merritt has always defined herself by her body, whether dancing in a small avant-garde company or posing for art. But she has always felt as if something is wrong with her, as if something is missing. She has never been in love.
Suddenly, in the darkness of the theater wings, a strangely affecting man enters her life. Matthew Norris, rich, handsome patron of the dance company, has decided that he wants Lucy for his own. He makes her an offer that both frightens and compels her, and they soon begin an affair characterized by only two requirements, beauty and truth.
But how truthful are Matthew and Lucy? How much of Matthew's strenuous brand of love can Lucy endure? And how long can their rigid Dom/sub relationship stay frozen in time, never growing, never moving forward?
Publishers Note: This novel contains explicit scenes of dominance and submission, discipline & training, bondage, group sex, oral sex, anal sex & double penetration, menage a trois, dubious consent, and both harsh and loving BDSM scenes.

Story
It's not every day your dean is a 6'4" dark god with ocean-blue eyes and a dimple. Just looking at him makes my heart pound and my stomach flutter. He's intense, filthy, and forbidden. Not to mention, he's my sister's ex-boyfriend. If I were smart, I'd walk away. Lines are getting blurred. Boundaries are being tested. And rules are about to be broken.

Dark men. They are intriguing, and charming, and powerful. They are changing the world. They are changing themselves. They are playing with lust, and love, and fear, and loathing. Addicted to each other, to their secret, to the seduction, to the sex. It’s a crash in the making. And yes, it’s on purpose. These men are dark. And this is the story of how Nova Ryan loves them.

Story
He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did. A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me. And now he's coming for me. Rough. Dirty. Dangerous. It's supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget. He'll make me his and I'll pretend I don't want him to. I'll run and he'll chase. Because I asked him for this. I begged him for this. Tonight, in the darkness, he's the hunter. And I'm the bait.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

It was an innocent mistake; she knocked on the wrong door. It was mine. If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. But I'm not. I'm a cruel bastard. I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own. It should've been enough but it wasn't. I needed more...I craved it. She became my obsession. Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. She didn't belong in my world. I would bring her only pain. But it was too late...she was mine and I was keeping her.

If I could give it -1 stars, I would. A NO GO.
I'll start by saying that the performance so clinical and at some points if I wasn't paying attention I wouldn't have known whose voice it was supposed to be, not horrible and not good either, just boring. I've read kidnapping dark romances that seemed healthier than this. This woman forsakes her only friend for this Matthew and obviously not everyone is going to understand your lifestyle but she seemed to build a wall against anyone but Matthew until both the friend and Matthew put their heads together. Then he and Matthew turn out to be devious people. It disgusted me that she took him back after what he did. Everyone brainwashed her, backed her into a corner, and she allowed it! For how much these people talk about truth, this book is full of nothing but lie upon lie. I'm disgusted. I can't tell if the writer doesn't know anything about the BDSM lifestyle or if they purposely made the book like this but the level of trust these two people had was so unhealthy and the fact that a Dom would act like this is horrible. To talk crap to someome because they didn't tell you about when they were raped on YOUR time is beyond detestable and I hated him from that second on. I don't want to spoil it but it has rape themes in it and let's just say that the author must not think having sex with someone while unconscious is rape, and it's just all messed up! I'm so angry. It's been a while since I came across a book like this, a book I detest. Like I said, this is one of the most unhealthy, disgusting relationships I've ever read about, and I love twisted stories but this is just so wrong, Lucy is made into a weak creature with no will of her own and that's what I hated most. Lastly, I like sex scenes, especially BDSM, as much as the next girl but this book is absolutely full to the brim with them and in a way that didn't really promote trust at all and while some of them are necessary to the plot, some of them are long-winded. I'm telling you, from a dark romance lover, from a person that has read about the most twisted of people and been able to find some good in them, don't read this book if you expect respect and trust in any way at ANY point. This is all built upon lies and ultimately it equals successful brainwashing. I'm so done. What a waste of 10 hours of my life.
