About this listen
Alexander
Stumbling upon the one person you're missing in your life only to screw up and watch her walk away. It's soul crushing. Heartbreaking. What Lili doesn't know is this marine's endurance is untamable. I've been beaten down; now it's time to rise, or submit and lose it all. Do I succumb to the darkness and welcome the silence? My sunshine is shrouded in ominous blackness; the trust she placed on me now vanquished. She's gone, and I fear my demons will find their way out.
Knock, knock. Poetry is my expression, only now that life is grim. I'm no longer in control. I do not want to hurt those I love, but I cannot keep afloat. I'm drowning, calling for help; the gun is in my hand and I'm eager to pull the trigger.
Liliana
He betrayed my trust, and now my skeletons are out of the closet for all to see. If any of my secrets fall in the wrong hands, chaos would follow. I knew I could never love, so why does this hurt so? The monster is at the forefront of my mind, enjoying the game. Time to play. Can I trust Zander and his mates with their vow of protection? If I have learned anything, you should never question a marine's promise. With music as my emotion, the songs playing behind the locked door tell me of a broken man's world. Sometimes it's the hero that needs saving; this be one of those times. Do not fret, Alexander, I'm going to save ye.

Story
I'm a lass from London setting my life on track. My past left me trapped inside my mind, screaming. Can you hear it? I thought I'd be this way the rest of my days, then I found my passion. To make the world a better place. This artist is ready for new adventures, only just as things are set in play, they spiral out of control, and the one person who means the most may not survive. As my world careens, strong arms envelop me the same time sweet whispers lend their comfort. Only now monsters lurk within the shadows waiting to strike. Will I come out unscathed?

Story
I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.

I didn’t expect to see Rylee Creed after her brother’s funeral. That’s the initial reason my jaw hangs slack when she walks into Bent Pedal a month later. The loss of my friend hit me hard, but that’s nothing compared to the crash she’s endured. Grief and misery still shadow her every move. But she’s not alone.

It was supposed to be a simple weekend away to forget the heartache caused by my cheating husband. But the man sitting next to me in 1B has different plans. Cash’s whiskey-colored eyes and easy smile beg me to dance beneath the stars, kiss in the moonlight, and walk hand in hand down the streets of Boston. Unfortunately, life has other plans because I’m still married, and Cash James is the billionaire playboy standing between me and my dream promotion.

Story
I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance. But Los Angeles is full of hot young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd. So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—good-bye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin. "Liam" and his talent with accents is enough to get my foot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Story
In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

Joe Arden narrates this story to perfection, with his “demons” voice giving the story all the feels I didn’t know it needed. Stella Hunter nails her delivery of Liliana, depicting a huge emotional range of the character flawlessly.
Zander and Lili are Sweet Perfection

Battle Born for You is the sequel to Painting Her Fate and picks up right where the first book left off. I can count on one hand the number of books that have made me cry, and Battle Born for You had me crying during the prologue. Just like Painting Her Fate, this book is an emotional rollercoaster with some unexpected twist and turns. Where Painting Her Fate focused on giving the reader Lili's past, this story focuses on giving us Alexander's past. The way the author addresses the darkness that comes with suffering from PTSD is handled in a beautifully tragic and respectful manner. My heart broke for these characters as the story progressed and then it was slowly put back together. On top of all of those feels, the chemistry between Lili and Alexander is explosive (in the best ways) and the spice next level.
Narrated by Stella Hunter and Joe Arden, two of the best in the biz, you know the narration will be executed flawlessly. Stella and Joe brought the author's emotive words to life and took this story to a new level.
I'm exciting for what this author has up her sleeve for future books.

Note: You do need to read (or listen) to book 1 in order to properly absorb and understand this story since this is a connecting series.
“Battle Born For You” picks up where book 1 ended; however, there is a deep look back into Zander’s (Alexander) past and the tragic events that unfolded while serving in the military, which offers a pretty solid explanation as to why he struggles with opening himself up to love.
The cleverly written dialogue between Zander and the “voice” in his head mirrors the internal dialogue we were introduced to in book 1 with Lili, which helps the reader to understand the turmoil of the leading characters and relate intimately to their struggles.
Layla Lochran has created a fantastic universe with characters that have depth and are truly relatable to anyone who has ever struggled with the aftermath of tragic events. The way the author tackles loss, fear and vulnerability is truly remarkable!
I read, and listened to the audiobook versions of both books in this series. I highly recommend the audiobook performed by the amazing Stella Hunter and Joe Arden, who bring Lili and Zander to life with such grace and emotion you’ll not be able to put the book down. Do yourself a favor and add this series to your library - it’s a keeper!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ perfect!

Joe Arden and Stella Hunter are heart-wrenchingly perfect in their performances of Battle Born for You. Joe & Stella are two of my favorite narrators, so to say I was thrilled about this pairing is an understatement. They were spectacular in Painting Her Fate, and somehow even better in Battle Born for You! Joe’s impassioned narration was enthralling as he brought Alexander’s history and mental health battle off the pages. The way he voiced Xander’s inner demons was hair-raising. The way Joe escalates the creepiness as Alexander spirals is truly masterful. Those are voices not easily forgotten; I’m fairly certain my inner b***h has adopted it for her own. Stella is phenomenal as she embodies the bewitching, sultry, ferocious, altruistic Liliana. Battle Born for You is a powerful, witty, sob-inducing, heart-mending romance. I can’t wait for book three and more Stella & Joe matchups.
A heart-wrenching and wonderful HEA
