Welcome to the Point…
There's a difference between a bad boy and a boy who's bad.… Meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn't just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he was the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn't care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there's a new player in the game, and she's much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She's always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con the Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought she'd have for a guy like him. But it doesn't take Dovie long to realize…some boys are just better when they're bad.

Dovie also had a terrible childhood too but she is caring, compassionate and has an inner strength but her brother goes missing and he's the one person that holds the answers as to why his best friend Bax got caught and had to spend 5 years in prison. An action-packed sizzling/emotion filled romance with twists and turns as two unlikely lovers unite and together they dig for answers and the truth but the more they dig the more mystery, treachery and danger finds them but they must take down the criminals once and for all before it's too late.
Worth a credit? This well written, well described and enjoyable plot is all about second chances and overcoming life's obstacles, and the reward is a deep unconditional love and a sense of belonging, self-worth and an understanding that it's ok to be bad sometimes. The plot was raw and gritty with a Hero that was cold when needed but so loving, protective, caring and romantic to the woman that believed in him and stood by him no matter what.... so a very creditworthy listen.
GREAT...HEARTACHE, REDEMPTION & UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

My dislikes include Dovie too often saying that she acts in a way that she doesn’t want to b/c she is, in some way, out of control b/c of her reaction to Bax. Her common speeches about a lack of self-control resulted in her coming across as weak. However, in other ways, she didn’t come across as weak; maybe not strong, but, at least, not weak. And “Tell me stop,” as stated by Bax, was a bit overused for my taste. Used at their first sexual encounter made sense but at the 3rd, not so much. I also disliked some of Bax’s love-struck gushing. It seemed very, very contrary to who he was even in a state of being changed and falling in love. It was a bit too much sometimes and, therefore, unconvincing.
The author said that she tried to create an actual bad guy. I’m unsure if she succeeded. Yea, Bax was an admitted and convicted thief, but I don’t necessarily equate a “bad guy” w/ a non-violent convicted criminal. Bax had no problem w/ physical violence, but it wasn’t gratuitous, just to hurt someone or just for fun. It was either for money or because someone “deserved it.” And he was a man-whore, but…. So, he didn’t come across as “bad” to me. Plus, having the H described as a guy who grew up on the bad side of town seemed to mitigate his behavior somewhat.
I really liked the male & female narrators. Though they didn’t sound like 22 and 20-year-olds, but the lives of the characters didn’t coincide with American folk that young either, not even ones with a challenging upbringing.
There were about 4 sex scenes. They were sensual but not explicit. Though they were not quickies either and included oral sex.
Sexy, well-written

Hero is Bax. Real name is Shane Baxter .heroine is Dovie
It was hard for me to get right in the chapter and totally understand what was going on .
Dovie seems to bring out the best in Bax. Bax has had a hard life. He was in jail. He knows how to Hotwire vehicles. And he knows all about Tattoos and piercings. He was unfortunately caught trying to hotwire a car and he spent time in jail.
The day he gets out is his lucky day. That is where he meets Dovie. Sexy Dovie with her long legs and red hair....l but she’s innocent for him. That’s what he thinks.
The narrators were great first time I heard of them Mia and Leland was great
What a better listen
