I was enjoying the story but there is a lot of information and it just goes on and on quoting numbers and government rules. Hard to believe this still goes on and that some of the laws were not that long ago.

At first a little confusing but it all pulls together is a beautiful story. The performances by Kylie Stewart and Eric Rolon are fantastic.

My Anxiety Is Kicked In

I don't know why but my anxiety level with this book was up. I just kept thinking why is no one on Sally's side? Why don't they believe her? The book does not have huge plot twists but is written in a way the keeps you guessing. You almost feel as insanely mad as the character does. Sally is desperate to figure out what happened to her but has no support from family or friends. She starts to do and act out of character for herself, which only makes people worry more. She is betrayed by friends at every turn. You can understand where family thinks she is having a breakdown because from the outside looking in that is how it would seem. This is slowly driving Sally even more insane. It is just so true to form how little things can be misconstrued or perceived differently by others and your whole world is turned up on end. Really gets you thinking.

Please change the narrator. At points it is hard to tell characters apart for the male roles. She does a good job with the female character but I still am not a huge fan. This book has the potential to be great. I am just not sure if Pepper Winters is going to be able to get there. There seems to be a lot of dragging on in the story. I get it she does not remember. Move on and lets get to some excitement! I am going to go for the second book because I think there is potential for the story line to move to greatness. Lots of hidden innuendos of as to plot twists. We will see.

OK, I'm sorry to say that I did not like this book as much as others by Pepper Winters. This first book was a better story and I was hoping that this one would pick up with even a better story line but alas it fell short. It was just a lot of the same scene over and over. He loves her, she loves him, he's keeping secrets, she wants to know....blah, blah, blah. Honestly you could tune out and pick back up and think you were at the same point. She could have gone in 100 different directions with this story line but it just did not happen. I'm a little sad as I love Pepper Winters. Narrations was not good either. At times I had trouble telling characters apart. Male voices needed to be stronger. Not my favorite as she has picked better narrators for her other books. I won't give up on Pepper Winters. Try her Dollar series if you have not.

This was just ok for me. It is a light and fluffy listen. Nothing surprising and nothing exciting. Just a warm and light hearten book about romance. It is very typical and you can probably layout the entire plot in the first 5 min but it was still enjoyable enough of a listen on a cold winter day curled up by the fire.

This book is very dark and heartbreaking. To think of all the young women out there that this really happens to is just crushing. However Pepper Winters does a great job of not just writing about the torture but making you feel her pain and suffering without giving you all the details. She lets your imagination fill in the blanks in places. You feel crushed and hopeful and devastated and regret. You think you know what will happen and then it doesn't. You praise Pim's strength yet you want her suffering to end. This book has your emotions all over the place. You like it but then think what is wrong with me liking a book about such a dark subject matter, yet you do. This book is captivating weather you want it to be or not.

This is a dark and twisted story. I am not sure if you can truly like what happens to Bella in the end. It is a twisted take on Beauty and the Beast. However, it does keep you reading so it does have something hidden between the torture that keeps you guessing. I'm not sure I liked the dark places this book takes you to but I did like the fact that Bella never gives up. This is a unique twist to an old story. I think there is a potential and the author sets you up for the next book. Tracy Marks does a great job of bringing the characters to life.

I read the reviews and took a chance as I love Kristen Ashley. Most of the reviews complained about the narration. Stating that her accents were cheesy. Honestly I did not think they were that bad and she has a large repertoire of voices she uses. I agree that the whole ghost story line was unbelievable and did not come into play until 3/4 of the way through the book. I think there was potential to create a really interesting story but it fell short. This was not my favourite K.A. book but I still love her writing. She has such dynamic characters and always makes you buy into the the story.

This is a typical billionaire meets poor girl. The age difference is a bit unbelievable. Also the fact that her brother goes to prison at the age of 16 does not see realistic. Their chemistry is rushed and the story line is rushed. Rylan holds a secret and that is about all the story line there is. Although Tracy Marks does an OK job with narration, she lacks really bringing characters to life. Her emotions were lacking to make me really buy into this book. Not the worse I've read but not the greatest either.
