Gage Dekker still blames himself for the car accident that claimed the lives of his first wife and young son. Then he meets Anna, who understands grief all too well. Within a year, Gage and Anna are married. After a heartbreaking miscarriage, they begin the long adoption process, until fate brings Lily into their lives. Young, pregnant, and homeless, Lily agrees to give her baby to Gage and Anna in exchange for financial support. But something isn't right once Lily enters their lives. At work and at home, Gage is being sabotaged, first in subtle ways, then things take a more sinister turn. Every attempt he makes to uncover the truth only drives a wedge between him and Anna.

Have you listened to any of Peter Berkrot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. He is a good narrator and I generally enjoy his readings.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
NoAny additional comments?
The first half of the story had me really engaged - the second half had me wanting it to end. It became stupid and rediculous. It could have ended a lot sooner than it did. The author tried to do too much - a romance - a tragedy - corporate thriller - crime story all in one and I don't think it worked. Once the character Roy came in, the author lost me. The fact that Lily wasn't pregnant was evident to anyone with a brain in the first chapter. I would try another one of his novels, before crossing this author off my list, but this was underwhelming.First half was very good - then enter Roy

What would have made Desperate better?
This story was very predicitable and repetitive in the storytelling. I couldn't even finish it because there just wasn't any point. It got worse as the story went on.Has Desperate turned you off from other books in this genre?
YESWhat does Peter Berkrot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Peter almost made the book worth listening too.Predicitable

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator has an "affected" accent which he mixes with an annoying nasal tone. His voice practically made my skin crawl.Skip this book!
