About this listen
"What it means, Em, is that you’re going to do what I want, whenever I want, or I’ll tell everyone your dirty little secret."
Art therapist Emrys Finnegan thought she'd left the fast-paced world of Public Relations behind when her old boss calls to offer her one last job. And it pays the kind of money that could change Emrys' life forever.
There's only one catch. She'd be working for disgraced major league baseball superstar Tanner Courtenay. And he’s a legendary PR nightmare, a violent and unstable athlete with a rap sheet a mile long.
Emrys has no choice but to grit her teeth and put up with Tanner's contemptuous treatment and malicious cruelty. But when one day he goes too far, everything changes. Suddenly, Tanner would do anything to get Emrys to stay with him. And with his wealth and ruthlessness, it's only a matter of time before he gets what he wants…
This is a fast-paced dark baseball romance with bullying, blackmail, obsession, breeding, groveling, and a HEA.

I’ve seen the way he looks at me. The Captain. The unquestioned leader of this ship. A ship I wish to be free of. A man I want to be as far away from as my legs might carry me. The society he’s designed, the rules, the endless battle of wills. Yes, I’ve seen the way he looks at me. I’ve felt his fingertips brush my skin. Heard his laugh. Experienced his smile. One that’s only for me, and only in secret. And I know what he wants.

This year shouldn't be any different, even with a new counselor who's everyone's type and too good to be true. But even so, Kayde Lane is nothing I can't deal with.

I didn't plan to ever attend an event, but I needed the money. I thought it was nothing more than an adult version of hide-and-seek. I had no idea how wrong I was. Nor did I know I’d meet my worst nightmare that night: Andrew “Drew” Marshall, popular-as-hell football star and a Greek god among mere mortals. To anyone else, he would appear to be normal, a good guy. But that night I saw the cruel, dark monster hidden underneath. He was the epitome of evil, the leader of the Disciples, and I was his newest obsession.

Roman Melnikov is a deadly man in an expensive suit. I know what lies beneath the façade—the scars and tattoos that hint at the man he really is. He came here to find his sister, and his search led him to my dad and his friends. We both want to take them down, and the only way to do that is together. I had no idea how dangerous it would be, or that by the end of it, we'd all be covered in blood. Loving Roman is dangerous, but I can't let him go. His path is leading him straight to hell, and it looks like I'm coming along for the ride.

All it takes is one pissed-off message from a stunningly beautiful fan after a brutal game and I'm knocked off balance. Suddenly, I'm stalking. Watching. Obsessed. Cassidy thinks she knows danger? She hasn't met me yet.

Unapologetic alphahole
A fun reread, happy to be able to listen while working out. Not a long story, the main character remains consistent in that he doesn’t change. Pushover fmc/bully mmc, fun trope

Bullying=non consent intercourse.
Did not enjoy. I love all the wild kinks and genres of romance but I would not call this a romance book. MMC aggressively bullys and degrades her. Grapes her the whole book. Only at the end does he care about her experience. He destroys her dream job because she left the state due to his threats to “give her” to her abusive ex for his own pleasure because she wouldn’t do what the MMC said. Then everything is ok because he says he loves her and forces her to get pregnant?!

Sucked
I like the tropes, but there were absolutely no redeeming qualities in either of the main characters. The female character is stupid. The male character is a spoiled toddler. He verbally and physically abuses the FMC..yet she never reports it to anyone. The other ball players didn’t report it either. She could have had the guy arrested and sued the team. But nope, just a spineless moron. Poorly written and it sounded like the narrator is a robot reading an instruction manual half the time, screeching the other half. Overall just awful.
