Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate being raped by her boyfriend. She had two choices: Call the cops and be killed by his family's mafia connections or kill him first and hope to survive.

There was no choice to her. She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her: Carter Reed. He's a weapon for the rivaling mafia family, but he's also Emma's secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she's the reason he became that weapon in the first place.

Where does Carter Reed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would put this in my favorite category but not on my favorite listens.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tijan? Why or why not?

yes I would, I think she has potential for a good story line build up.

Have you listened to any of Lucy Rivers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No this was the first, I will try her again though.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My extreme reaction was who chopped up this book? There seems to be so much more to this story that was deleted out of the book. In the first chapter it throws you right in but it feels incomplete in a way. There is no character build up, barely any description in her story telling. I just feel like this book could have been twice the length and could have been great rather than just OK.

Any additional comments?

It just fell a little short with me. I have a feeling the editor and publisher shredded it. Because the book has a feel like eventually we will know more but it never got there.

So this book started off good But then I kept waiting for more and it never happened. The author had a good set up for a good book and didn't run with it. Also in the beginning it seemed as the the women who is the main character was going to be strong and bad ass. That didn't happen actually it was quite the opposite she was pathetically weak and needy and that's just not my thing. So I give it 3 stars it was ok I feel it could have been much better so I won't be continuing with this series I can't deal with authors who make women pathetic and weak I need a strong bad ass women to back up her man. And more action less sex.

I wanted more of Emily and Carter at the end and am glad to realize there is a book 2. Love is a powerful motivating factor in their lives.

Exciting storyline

Another great page turner &/or audio book from Tijan! I own both and I can't wait to start the second one! Carter is being added to my book boyfriend list. He is not one to play games & neither is Emma. When Emma helps her roommate, she finds herself and her friends in hot water due to what she's done. She runs to the only person who can help, Carter. This is an action packed roller coaster ride that starts from the first sentence and you won't want to stop reading/ listening!

Another Great Listen

I love this book. The audible narration is mesmerizingly perfection.
I have had this one a long time and frequently listen to it. I just never wrote a review before today. Highly recommend. It’s got a little mystery, lots of drama, and some violence as they work thru to the HEA. There is a tricky scene which may cause triggers in some, but the scene is a quick one. The whole book is well developed and beautifully written.

A favorite,

the story wasn't horrible. it was just Emma. she's utterly useless and I have no idea why Carter cares about her at all. she's an absolute moron. she constantly refuses to do what carter tells her to do when he's trying to save her life. there were some inconsistencies that stood out to me but I was able to get past them pretty easily. Emma just frustrated me so much that my hatred of her may have overshadowed some of the other issues.

Emma drove me crazy!

It's a bit drawn out and boring. Started great but seemed to drag on and on. I had to push my way to the end.

Everything changes for Emma the day that she alters her normal routine and walks in on her best friend and roommate being raped by her boyfriend. Something inside her snaps when she realizes she has two choices - turn him in and risk punishment by his father’s mafia connections or kill him and run... The pain and suffering she watches her roommate endure, even for moments, makes that decision for her. She retrieves a gun and kills him herself. Sealing her fate and changing her life. Forever...

On the run with nowhere to go she has only one place to turn. Her brother’s oldest friend and now a hit man for a rival mafia group: Carter Reed... Carter Reed is absolutely swoon worthy, he’s super intense and a totally hot alpha male...

I cannot imagine the horror that Emma has had to survive to get to where she is at the beginning of this book, but to handle what was thrown at her the moment she walked into her apartment…I don’t want to imagine those feelings.

I really liked Carter’s character. He’s strong, but has this sweet and loving side that he only shows Emma - I loved Carter and Emma’s relationship. He’s totally alpha and does everything in his power to protect her.

Now if you are into a lot of description in the sex scenes you won’t get that here. You know when they are having sex, but not so much about what is actually going on. I actually liked the scenes as they were, it didn't distract from the actual story-line that was going on and you could see where they where and when their relationship was growing.

Lucy Rivers does a fantastic job narrating. Very enjoyable :)

I almost stopped the book 6 or 7 times, in the early chapters. The Heroine, Emma, has to be the most indecisive, wishy-washy Heroine ever invented. Her inner dialogue was too descriptive and way too wordy. I wanted to scream, “ GET ON WITH IT!!!!!’. She couldn’t make a decision and stick with it, to save her life. It got better in the later chapters but, for example, Carter would be trying to explain something important to her and she would just decide she didn’t feel like listening. Ok, you stupid girl, someone is trying to kill you, it may be in your best interest to learn all you can in order to keep from getting killed.🤬

In addition, there were only three short chapters written from Carter’s POV. I think there should have many more or none at all. These three short passages didn’t fit.
The book did get better, as it progressed, so I did complete it. However, if I would have spent a credit on it, I would have returned it. I will not register to it. Since # 2 in also in the Romance package, I’m going to give it a try.

The Heroine’s inner dialogue drove me crazy!
