About this listen
He’s her fierce protector. She’s his sweetest obsession.
Hadley’s world shatters the night her stepdad sneaks into her room, and with nothing but fear gripping her heart, she bolts. She doesn’t care where she’s headed, as long as it’s far from the nightmare she’s escaping.
Damon’s instincts roar to life the second he spots her—lost, trembling, and too innocent for her own good. She’s an angel who’s fallen right into his path, and he’s a man with a past he can’t escape. A felon with no right to touch someone so pure, someone so tempting.
But Damon doesn’t just want to protect her. He wants to claim her, body and soul. And nothing, not even the darkness that haunts him, will stop him from getting what he craves.
If you love protective, alpha male heroes who will do anything to claim and protect their innocent heroines, then you're going to fall in love with this audiobook.

Story
The moment he pulled her back from the brink, she became his. Not just his patient, but his obsession. She’s everything he’s ever wanted, and now that fate has placed her in his hands, he’s never letting go. She wants to keep her distance, but he’s not the kind of man to be denied. Her fears? He’ll soothe them. Her heart? He’ll claim it. Because she’s his, and nothing—not even her resistance—will stop him from making her see it.

I’ve got one thing on my mind: the biggest fight of my career. But the second I lay eyes on her, nothing else matters. She’s perfect. A knockout in every sense. Problem is, she’s the senator’s daughter. Off-limits. Too good for someone like me. But the way she looks at me? Hell, it's like she’s asking for trouble. And I’m the kind of guy who gives exactly what people ask for.

Cindy Crews is everything I never even knew I dreamed of. Winning the championship used to be my number one goal in life, but one look into Cindy's pretty golden eyes, and I see my future. But Cindy is a feisty little thing who's fighting me every step of the way. I know she feels this electric current zinging between us, but she's put up walls so thick it's going to take a bulldozer to knock them down.

But I’ve never stopped thinking about her, never stopped wanting her. I went to prison for her. Took the fall, took the heat, all for her. And now I’m out. Free.

Ava Sinclair has it all—a life of luxury on her father's sprawling plantation-style estate in Georgia, a bright future ahead, and a sense of freedom that comes with youth. College is just around the corner, and she's ready to step into her new life. That is, until her father crosses the wrong man—the notorious New York kingpin, Gage Morelli. Suddenly, Ava’s perfect world shatters when she’s kidnapped by a man whose power is only matched by his ruthless reputation. But Gage? He’s nothing like the cold, calculating criminal she expected.

Faith didn’t expect to catch the eye of the devil when her friends dragged her to a Halloween party at one of the city’s most elite businesses. She didn’t even know who he was until his gaze locked on hers, intense, hungry, and coming straight for her like he already knew what he wanted. Coward that I am, I ran. But you can’t outrun a man like that, no matter how hard you try. I couldn’t stop dreaming of him, though. The way he looked at me. The fire in his eyes. But at least I’d never have to see him again, right?

Every time she comes up to that fence, defying her father’s orders to talk to me—a felon with a past that should keep me in the shadows—I see something in her eyes that makes me believe there might be a shred of goodness left in this godforsaken place.

The moment I first saw her on that stage, I was done. Every move, every twist of her body is pure seduction. She’s nothing like the other dancers—no fake smiles, no practiced routine. She moves like she’s meant to be worshipped. A ballerina. A goddess. Poetry in motion. Her long red hair flows like fire, and those green eyes—hell, they burn right through me. I can’t think. I can’t breathe. I need her. My body craves her. If I don’t have her, I’ll lose my mind. She’s my obsession, my fantasy, my everything. And tonight, on New Year’s Eve? She’s mine.

She doesn’t know it yet—not while she’s smiling sweetly at customers and pouring coffee like the world is soft and safe. But I know better. She needs me. She doesn’t see the way men look at her, like wolves circling something pure and untouched. She doesn’t see the dangers, but I do. And I’ll protect her from every single one of them.

I found heaven in the arms of Lexi, and I don’t plan on letting her go. As a matter of fact, I’m making it my own personal mission to make her bigger (with my baby in her belly).

My feelings haven't changed, but I have. I'm not a scrawny little girl anymore. I have thick hips and curves. And once my father's best friend sees them, well, let's just say he becomes more caveman than best man. He can't take his eyes off me during the ceremony. He can't keep his hands off me during dinner. And every chance he gets, he's pulling me into storage closets and kitchens and alleys to..."celebrate".

Hadley finds Damon
Hadley realized she waited too long to leave when her stepfather creeped in her room. She must get out before he stills what she still holds. She has no idea where to go, she is out of place in the bar. Damon see the frightened girl, she is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, he must help her.
She is too innocent for him. Damon is a likable character even though he has been in jail, he is just what she needs to stand up to her stepfather.

Trust your instincts.
I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the mentions of drug abuse, assault, and attempted assault. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Randall was a piece of poo and totally deserved whatever consequences that he received. Hadley’s mom was pretty much the same. Hadley was used to fending for herself but still hoped that her mom would help her. Her stepdad was a slimeball and because of his actions she ended up on the street looking for somewhere to go to figure out her next step. Damon saw Hadley and stepped up to help her. They were attracted to each other immediately, but Damon was focused on finding out what she was running from. He was protective and possessive but also sweet. Damon offered Hadley safety and options that she greatly appreciated. The way that they got to know each other was great. The amount of time that they were able to spend together definitely helped. Damon had taken steps to ensure Hadley’s safety as much as possible. There was some drama and angst but it resolved well. I liked how the story ended. I recommend reading this book.
Listening to the audiobook was also very enjoyable. The narrator did a great job of differentiating the voices for the characters which helped bring the story to life. I recommend listening to this audiobook as well.

Claiming the Runaway!
This is a short and fairly quick read/listen about Hadley and Damon. The story is sweet and a little over the top. I enjoyed the story and felt the narrator did a good job. Hadley has just turned eighteen and finds herself running from home because of her stepfather. She stumbles into a bar where she eventually meets Damon. Damon helps her out which leads to so much more. This is a good story with likable characters.

I totally loved this story, the narrator was awesome, she was able to get so many emotions across. Hadley was so sweet and innocent. Damon is so very opposite, I think that’s why they work so well together. I know I want to listen to more of these short stories.

Will Damon and Hadley find happiness
Hadley has just turned 18 years old and wanted a job so she could leave her home, when something she is not willing to deal with late one night leaves her out on the street without shoes are real clothes when she runs into a bar to hide out. Sitting in the same bar was Damon a auto mechanic/ ex con he takes one look at the young woman and feels he has to protect her because he wants her more than anyone. When she sees some comes through the door and when he turns to look she is gone and he goes after her and tells her he will make sure she is safe he took her home with him and she agreed he offers her own bedroom. Hadley gets a job at an Italian restaurant next to his place of business so that he could keep her safe and hope that she would pick him and not another. He could only hope and Hadley felt the same way. Things start to happen fast when she does get a job and is doing well until her stepfather is sitting at her station one day and threatened her. Drama, suspense, romance, violence. I read a copy via BookFunnel without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.
