She is scarred.

When I stormed into her life, it was supposed to be temporary.

Anais was supposed to be like the rest.

Then I became addicted.

My past caught up with me and she walked out before I could make her mine.

Tragedy strikes and I have no choice but to bring her back into my world.

In order to protect her, I convince her to wear my ring.

But I fear even I can’t protect her from the turmoil we’re about to face.

Scarred Empire is the second in an enemies-to-lovers billionaire trilogy. Themes in this dark and sexy series may not be suitable for all listeners.

Holy cow! This book was so good! The twists and turns were completely wild. I’m loving this series and I can’t wait to read more of it. The ending too, I hate that it was a cliffhanger but at least I was able to immediately go onto the third book. This whole series has been perfectly spicy and so twisty too.

Great story

I originally had a hard time starting book 1 and then didnt bother with book 2 because of how hard it was to get into book 1. I finally started it and then had to finish book 3 also. The story is actually pretty good. The domination scenes are good, Its not a BDSM book but more of a dominate book. Hes dominate, they have TPE sex in the bedroom, but outside while he tries to be in control, hes not, she is.

Its not a BDSM book but more of a dominate book.

The entire actual story could be a fascinating short story. However, between important plot points is like an overly descriptive teeth cleaning.

The female narrator would go to state in the forensics club and get a bronze. The inflection is adolescent. The phrasing is like she is reading words, rather than phrases. Good narrators read ahead as they narrate to assure the phrases are spoken as such and with correct inflection (and breathing is at appropriate times), She does none of the things good narrators…or mediocre narrators do. Casting fail, as she doesn’t know how to narrate and sounds like she’s 14.

The male narrator does female voices better than the female narrator and should have done the entire book. I’d give him 4.5 stars, but as most of the book is the hyperventilating tween reading in front of class for the first time…he get all the stars and she pulls the performance score down, as she gets a kind negative .5, and should perhaps get some voice lessons. (Her male voices are like how children lower their voices, and she pounds on each word as a child pounds a piano key repeatedly, never making music.)

This could be saved by having the spice that should be in place of reference to acts. It’s very vanilla, aside from one act mentioned in the first book that never happens.
Spice level: 1 jalapeño (seriously, I need a 5 ghost pepper or 5 Carolina reapers…)

Putting in for a refund.

Filler. Filler. Filler. Getting credit refunded.

Anais is an absolute nightmare to this man who’s doing everything for her. I just find it annoying.

Overly dramatized nothingness
