About this listen
An unforgettable dark romance trilogy!
Two captive dancers. One cruel master. A single performance to determine whether they live or die.
Anya
I've served the four families since I was kidnapped three years ago.
I've accepted my fate, knowing that escape is impossible.
My villainous master abuses me, but I've learned to live this lonely life.
I've become complacent in my misery…then my master brings home another captive for me to train, and his presence changes everything.
Ezra
I was violently taken and brought to kneel at her feet.
She demands that I dance with her, but I refuse to recognize anyone as my master.
Yet when I see the horror of her existence with my own eyes, I know I have to save her.
I could never have expected her to break down my walls…. I could never have expected to form an unbreakable bond.… I could never have expected to fall in love.
This is a dark romance series involving many triggering elements which may be upsetting for some listeners. A complete list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author's website.
This is book 1 of 3 in a complete trilogy.
It is not a standalone, and the books must be listened to in order.

Story
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

Except it was my choice to stay.

Story
Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks click on a level that defies logic. There are only two problems. One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract. When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves.

If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She'd be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn't have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal. Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me. Charlie shone like a beacon in a world that had long since lost any light. But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood. I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

Dark and emotional
I don't know why I waited so long to read/listen to Counts of Eight. I was hurting so much for what Anya had to endure at the hands of Nikolai and the only way for her to survive was to dance? That is a completely new plot I haven't read before so it was interesting to read. With how sadistic Nikolai was towards Anya, I kept expecting him to do something to Ezra but he never did so that's a mystery in itself and I wonder if it'll be explained in the next book.
The narrators did such an amazing job with the accents. They were able to bring so much emotion into their voices when it was needed and make the scene that much more emotional/heartbreaking and powerful.
I am definitely adding the rest of the series to my tbr especially Dance With Death because that cliffhanger, what the HECK!!

brutal
the brutality in this story is, harsh, depraved. It's physical,.psychological, demanding,.
Anna, a dancer, is a slave to Nikolai. She learned the hard way to obey. His punishments are intense, can be deadly. She knows if she messes up it could be her last.
She has to train her next partner to obey her, to obey her master.
Ezra is defiant, fighting against his imprisonment. He plays the game, not losing his humanity.
Anna never thought she would fall in love with him, that would become her downfall.
Like I said this story is brutally intense, physically and emotionally. It gave me shivers that anyone would yield the power of life and death over them.
Jeffrey Holz and Elle Sonali performance is intense, powerful, emotional. Very well done.

Counts of Eight
This book is brutally good. The things these characters go through are just dark. It certainly sucked me in, and will suck you in, too. I can't wait for the next inseriea. The narration is beyond great. It really fleshes the story and heartache out well, making it that much more believable. Definitely worth your credit if you enjoy dark captive romances.

Deeply Depraved
It was a little slow at times but so intense. It provokes all of the feelings and rips at your heart. The sadness, the strength, the love and the despair are all overwhelming. The narrators were amazing and did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Great dark romance and fantastic narration
Throughly enjoyed this first instalment in the Four Families series by Brynn Ford. Check TW as the themes in this book are not suitable for all readers. The narration was great particularly the accents of the main characters. Would recommend to anyone who loves a dark Russian mafia book with a captive ballerina love story!

Counts of Dark Suspense
Counts of Eight is a dark romance that is a great starting point for readers wanting to try out this genre. Ford deftly builds the characters and this world to stunning clarify, but be warned the cliffhanger in this one is particularly brutal.

Dark Romance
✨Every move she makes is sensual and my f-cking heart is racing. I need her.
The intensity I feel dancing with Anya-even just being near her-is indescribable.
It’s the kind of intensity I want to feel all the time.
It’s the splash of cool water on a hot summer day. It’s the rush of performing for a crowd of hundreds. It’s dirty s-x on a public f-cking beach. I’m just about to drag her into my arms, but the chance is taken from me.
Just like everything else has been taken from me.
✨Oh my heart! I had the absolute pleasure of reading another amazing new to me author last month and loved Counts of Eight.
✨I listened to this story on audio 🖤🎧 as I read along and fell so hard for the amazing and heartfelt performances given by both of these talented narrators!!
This dark romance is wonderfully written with so many beautiful elements interwoven into much darker themes and traumatic experiences of the main characters, Anya and Ezra.
The progression of their feelings for one another as the story and plot unfolded was tender and brutal all at once. As I read this story I was immersed and could feel every ounce of the longing and aching for human connection that these main characters craved in one another.
✨Counts of Eight is the first book in The Four Families series and the story for these main characters extends over the first two books!
✨Dark & Traumatic Themes
✨Forbidden Romance
✨Ballet Themes
✨Slow Burn 💗

Dark Captive Romance - Check T.W.
Counts of Eight by Brynn Ford is a dark captive romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Elle Sonali and Jeffrey Holz. This is the first book in the The Four Families series.
This is the first book of Brynn's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I would highly recommend reading the content warnings before reading this book. I really enjoyed the relationship that is blooming between Anya and Ezra. I liked that we got Anya, Ezra, and Nikolai's points of views. It really brought the story to life.
The book ended on an amazing cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Dance With Death to be released on audio so I can get more of Anya and Ezra's story.
Elle and Jeffrey did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, captive romances, or romantic suspense.

Dark. Very Dark!
This was my first Brynn Ford's book. This is the first installment in the The Four Families Trilogy, a Dark Romantic Suspense. Anya and Ezra's story is very dark, raw, intense, gripping, emotional, and dramatic (triggers warning!). The storyline is complex, slow paced, and utterly heartbreaking. The story ends with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. Looking forward to listening to Dance with Death, the next installment in the series, to know what happens next. Excellent narration from Elle Sonali, and Jeffrey Holz. #PFPAudio
