About this listen

"My house is a mess, my underwear is mixing with hers in the laundry, and my safe, quiet haven now smells of burnt candles and her."

Indy

Being the founder of a non-profit and keeping it going is my only focus right now. I don't have time for distraction–men, my health, my friends–all of it takes a back seat to me keeping this going. I've lived by other people's rules for too long, I am ready to break out on my own, and I'll prove to everyone I can do it. The Crown Project helps sick children and their families find some happiness during hard times, and I am committed to making it happen. If I can't have my own, I'll give someone else a fairytale. The only man I'd want is off-limits to me anyway. He's the meanest, grumpiest, and, unfortunately, the sexiest man I know. He also works with my brother. So there's that. I'll always be a supporting character, never the princess. My life just won't let me. It's impossible.

Derek

Without routine and order, the only thing left is chaos. Chaos leaves room for disorder and unhappiness. And that leads to betrayal. Never again will I allow that to happen. I am steady, focused, and at the top of my game as a tattoo artist at Hel's Ink. I am established, successful, and there is nothing that happens in my life that I don't allow. And then there is Indy. She is inescapable - a whirlwind of kindness and beauty and goodness. Everything about her is impossible. Left with no choice but to help her out of a challenging situation. I soon regret my decision and the insanity that comes with it. I let her in. Into my home and my life. But never– never- into my heart. There's no such thing as fairytales, and love stories don't really exist. But when everything changes, I wonder if maybe I've found a little piece of chaos I can live with.

Tremendous

I loved the book when I read it but the audio takes it to a whole new level. Joe as Derek was perfection and Mollie was amazing. I hope she gets to narrate Stevie. Her voices were spot on.

Derek

Loved grumpy Derek so much. The story was good and emotional.

The narration even better, Joe Arden can read my CVS receipt and I'd still drool.

Derek

Derek and Indy are the main couple in Hel's ink book 4. Indy has MS and Derek has some serious trust issues due to his past. They both have many things to work though both together and alone. While an accident brings them back to Derek's home town there is so much that happens though out this book and opens us up to a whole new set of characters. I have absolutely loved this series and can not believe how amazing the narration on this one is. Mollie did such a great job bringing Indy's bubbly personality to life while Joe countered with Derek's growly gruffness. If you have the option make sure you listen to this series the books are all amazing. I can not wait to see what comes next for this couple and the crew as the series continues on.

Derek is Book 4 in The Hel's Ink Series. This book is hands down my favorite so far. Indy is a founder of a non-profit and keeping it going is her only focus. She doesn't have time for a distraction—men, her health or her friends. Her plan is to get the Crown Project up and running so that it will help sick children and their families to find happiness during hard times. Indy wants to give someone else a fairytale. The one man Indy wants is Derek. When she ends up needing Derek's help everything changes.

Most recently I listened to the audiobook and it's phenomenal. Performed in duet narration by Joe Arden and Mollie Stark. These two were perfect as Derek and Indy. Joe and Mollie embodied their characters and their voices sounded so good together. Joe does a great southern accent. He portrayed Derek's grumpiness, his no nonsense attitude as well as Derek's need for order. Mollie gives an amazing performance. Indy suffers from multiple sclerosis. Despite her daily health struggles, she is such an optimistic person. Mollie exuded Indy's positivity and sunny, bright disposition. Her energy was so contagious. Joe and Mollie bring out all the emotions with their expressive tones. They elevated the story and portray the ups and downs of Derek and Indy's love story. What a compelling and unforgettable performances by these two. Truly amazing!

Love him!

I was so curious about Derek and this story and it did not disappoint. The characters, especially Derek's back story stole my heart. The performances were perfect. I appreciate this author always choosing narrators that seem to fit the character.
