About this listen
"Saving Scarlett" by C.A. Varian weaves a tale of love and redemption, where an unlikely hero emerges from the shadows to rescue the woman he never expected to save.
In the heart of sultry New Orleans, Scarlett Prejean's life, filled with beauty and ambition, is marred by a haunting presence—her abusive husband, Joshua. As the proud owner of a cozy bookstore and a haven of coffee and literature, she seeks solace amid the unrelenting cruelty of her marriage. But fate takes a dark and unexpected turn when Joshua makes a chilling decision: he hires Bane, an assassin bound by a relentless code, to bring Scarlett's life to a tragic end. What Joshua doesn't foresee is the profound twist that awaits.
When Bane comes face to face with the battered and vulnerable Scarlett, an irrepressible urge to protect her takes hold, defying the very mission he's been given. Scarlett, carrying the scars of years of torment, finds herself under the care of her would-be executioner. In the intermingling of Scarlett and Bane's lives, they grapple with an undeniable attraction, their backgrounds clashing in stark contrast.
Scarlett wrestles with her feelings for a man marked as a killer, yet she glimpses the gentleness hidden beneath Bane's hardened exterior. Their love story unfolds amid a backdrop of treacherous secrets and betrayals, guided by the brilliant hacker, Phantom, who unravels the intricate threads binding Scarlett's destiny to the criminal underworld. Their journey is a tumultuous one, a blend of passion, danger, love, and vengeance. The burning question remains: Will Bane and Scarlett discover the love they so desperately crave, or will those who seek their downfall ultimately triumph?
Trigger Warnings: There are many mature themes throughout Saving Scarlett. It is not intended for listeners under 17 years of age.

Story
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?

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

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.

Story
I think I always knew I was going to die young. Like I had this… silent, invisible clock ticking down to my final moments plastered above my head. Maybe that’s why I was so reckless, crazy. Why I sought after adventure. Why nothing scared me… Except, there was always this… feeling I couldn’t shake that something was in the darkest parts of every corner, under every bed, closet, or room, like a ghost watching me. Waiting to take me. My own, personal reaper. But it was always only during a lightning storm that I could see the outline of my reaper. No scythe.

When her sister drowned, Azure Galanides was given a choice: sell her soul or let the child die. The decision was simple, and Daneliya lived, but the consequences were worse than she had imagined. Azure became a slave, turned into one of the Sea Goddess’ murderous mermaids. From caregiver to killer, regret became her constant companion, and hope was a long-forgotten stranger. She didn’t deserve redemption. At least, that was what she thought until she met Elios. But the Goddess would stop at nothing to snuff out Azure’s life, and by helping her, Elios put a target on his back.

Ninety-nine out of a hundred will die, and magic is strictly forbidden. Strangely, Maelor is immune to Elowen’s touch. The Raven Lord claims to want to help her. But as she spends more time with him, she discovers he has a dark secret of his own.

They warned me that the very sight of me would incite a side of Maverick I would want to flee in fear of. But I had no place else to go. My only option was to brave his wrath to survive. His darkness reaches into me, pulling at something raw, something I don’t understand. With every word he slays me, his every touch burns along my skin.

Beneath the fire and fury, I glimpse the cracks in his armor and the man he’s desperately trying to hide.

Taking place in New Orleans, Scarlett is living in an unhappy marriage with a man who has a temper that's dangerous & abusive. She owns a small, cozy bookstore and finds refuge there despite the cruelness of her husband Joshua.
Without her knowledge, Joshua hires a contract killer, named Bane, to get rid of her. Bane is ruthless & there to get the job done but the situation gets complicated when things take an unexpected turn.
What Joshua doesn't realize is that things are about to get complicated for him as well. Bane has already met his wife and when he finds her bruised & battered, he makes the decision to defy the very mission he's been given. What's also complicated is that there's an immediate attraction between Scarlett & the man who could potentially end her life.
Some things I loved:
🧡I LOVED this idea of a contract killer falling for the woman that is his next target, so Dexter like.
🧡The situation Scarlett finds herself in with her husband definitely seems believable & I was totally sympathetic to her being stuck in an abusive marriage out of fear.
🧡The concern & love that Bane has for his sister & niece. It's very tender & sweet, totally protective.
🧡I love a morally grey character that deep down is a total softie but also could crack at the drop of a hat if someone messes with his people!
🧡Phantom, the hacker! He was such a fun side character & I loved whenever he was in the story.
🧡The way Bane is described, tatted, broody & dark. Wears all black. This is exactly how I like to picture my morally grey MC👌
🧡The forced proximity Bane & Scarlett find themselves in. It's inevitable that these two are gonna get together.
🧡The suspense both in the beginning of the story & towards the end. Things take a plot turn real fast and you're left wondering what the heck is gonna happen.
🧡The fact that Scarlett owns a bookstore & that's where she finds refuge💕
🧡Bane is described by the author as, "a lethal man with a poet's mind" Really liked this description of him.
🧡This cover! I think it's gorgeous & I love it!
The instant attraction between them is mutual. They both know it's forbidden & probably not a good idea especially once Scarlett finds out what Bane is initially there to do. You hear their inner monologues trying to talk themselves out of it. Scarlett just fell a little too quickly for me especially with the situation she's coming from & it didn't seem quite long enough to build trust with a man who just days earlier planned on killing you. In spite of this, it was nice to see Bane shift into "caretaking" mode with Scarlett like he had been with his sister & niece. They try to keep their feelings platonic but they can't. This is a slow burn my friends, but once it hits, these two create some definite heat!🔥
Despite a few plot issues I had, what kept me listening? The undeniable talent & voice of Teddy Hamilton.👏👏👏 and the new to me narrator, Shiloh James.
🎧Let's talk narration...It's in DUET with Teddy & Shiloh, this certainly helped elevate this story for me. Teddy's no stranger to narrating a morally grey MC. He definitely can keep my attention voicing on the grey side & I'm NEVER sad about it! I loved his portrayal of Bane as the "assassin killer." He was harsh & edgy but once Bane makes the decision to rescue Scarlett, he switches to a big ol' softie & I love listening to him in these types of stories! Give me the brutal, morally grey Teddy because he can DELIVER that all day for me! Shiloh James is a new narrator to me, and she did a great job. She was fantastic at portraying the abusive & helpless wife with emotion & voicing the complicated feelings she had over her attraction to Bane.
Overall, this was a good listen because of the talented narrators. Unfortunately, some of the plot points & character development needed a little more time to simmer for my taste but it didn't keep me from enjoying the story & finishing it.
This is a duet but it does come with an HEA & there's no cliffy. The second part of the duet is called "Keeping Caroline." This is the story about Bane's sister so this can be read as a standalone if wanted.

📚Story review📚
Saving Scarlett is a story that takes you on a wild ride, filled with secrets, twists, and unexpected turns. It centers around the unknowing daughter of a mob boss who crosses paths with an alpha hitman, and their connection becomes the heart of the story.
The dynamic between these two characters is compelling and the romance itself is unexpected. But the chemistry between them is magnetic and raw, making it all the more intriguing. It’s the kind of love that builds quickly, but given the high stakes environment they find themselves in, it makes sense. Their journey is filled with plenty of drama, secrets, and a little bit of danger, which kept me hooked.
If you enjoy intense stories with complex characters, a dash of romance, and a plot packed with secrets, this one is definitely worth the read. Just be sure to check the trigger warnings before you dive in. There’s some heavy themes.
🎧❤️ Audiobook review ❤️🎧
This was brought to life by two phenomenal narrators who truly embodied their characters. Shiloh delivered a sweet and melodic performance that fit her character perfectly, capturing her essence with warmth and sincerity. Her voice felt authentic and natural, making it easy to connect with her character’s journey.
Meanwhile, Teddy delivered an equally stunning performance, showcasing his ability to convey complex emotions with depth and nuance. His narration made every scene feel vivid, and his skill in bringing characters to life is unmatched.
Together, these two narrators created a dynamic and engaging listening experience. I loved it!
