About this listen
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
I have.
Have you ever cherished the pain because you knew the kind you'd face without them would be way too unbearable?
That's me.
To young Neeka Perry, Denny is one thing. In the streets, he's a whole other entity. She was brave enough to love both sides, upside down, all around, and back again.
He provided her with all a girl could believe she dreamed of—security, desire, and, most enviably, genuine love, all wrapped up in gold and diamonds.
He removed her far from the course of her ordinary college girl lifestyle and swept her into his world of whimsical madness.
For this and more, her love went beyond loyalty. She was devout… devout to him.
But is there such a thing as too much passion? Can you love someone too much?
And when you realize the person you love, and the person everyone fears, can also be the one everyone loves, and you can one day soon fear, who will save you?
Especially when the person you need saving from is yourself?
Stop right there. I don't want to be saved.
I've shackled myself to him with love. And I swallowed the key.
I'm in this for the long run.
I am devout.

Story
Elodie Perry is poised to be the small screen’s newest “It Girl”. Following the mega-success of the last time they worked together, it’s a no-brainer to bring her back in front of a camera with Shaw Bridges. The audience had plenty to say about their smoking hot chemistry on-screen, but their real-life romance was kept strictly behind the scenes.

Kaori Randall embraces one concept: love and be loved. She is raised by parents and grandparents, who are examples of happy, healthy relationships. Kaori has high expectations when it comes to her own happiness, which makes the failure of her own love life a huge disappointment.

Story
When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood. From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips when Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic. But stars shine brightest in the dead of night.

Story
For Nalani Stark, legacy matters… maybe more than most things. Important enough that when that legacy — inextricably tied to her mother’s memory - is challenged, she’s forced to consider even the most undesirable options… Such as a match made in hell with Orion Sterling. The heir to the competitor she grew up being warned about. Orion is a man well-accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Other than opportunities to grow the family business, he’s moved by very few things.

Morae Brehon!!!!
I will admit, I was more excited to hear Winston bring Denny to life in my anticipation of this audio release. imagine my surprise when Ms. Morae Brehon absolutely bodied this entire performance! She brought this stories to life in such an amazing way. Now don't get me wrong, WJ ain't no slouch, He definitely did his thing, but fir some reason, I didn't remember Ty having so many POV's in book 1.
Hearing this story play out touched me in such a different way than when I read it. Even though I knew what to expect, these narrators helped make the story fresh. They both did a brilliant job. Takerra Allen never misses and every story is highly recommended by me.
Standing Ovation!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Can you actually love people enough to stop loving them?
Do you love each other to stop loving each other?”. I listened to this book through audible and may I say that the narration is PHENOMENAL! I read the actual book around the time it was first released years back. I gave this book initially a 3 star, now I love me some Takerra Allen so I had to spin the block on this one to find out exactly why I gave it a 3 star…At this present time actually I would like to recant my 3 star and upgrade it to a 4.5 star! I don’t think I really grasp the entire concept of the story way back when but I now do. Denny and Neeka’s love story was beyond toxic. Neeka turned a blind eye to Denny’s behaviors before learning of his disability due to her love for him. He was literally her first love. Her family pretty much disowned her for being with him. I loved the way that her loved her, however his love became obsession. *Spoilers* After Denny’s mother revealed Denny’s multiple mental health disorders, including dissociative personality disorder, I think things were put in perspective for Neeka. I think she wished she would have know this from the beginning it likely would had influenced her decision to be with him against her family’s wishes. I am sure he knew this wish his why he kept her from meeting his mother and revealing that truth. I feel that Denny wanted to do right but it was difficult to fight those voices he always heard.
I really do like how this book shed a light on mental health disorders and how those disorders within ourselves affect those we love with-out the proper treatment.

No MMC POV.. Barely any male narration. Mostly 3rd person narration
I'm not sure why they put Winston James ' name in this book when Morae narrated nearly the entire book. There were only 3 male narrated parts, totaling about 10 minutes combined, and they were the MMC's best friend POV. Also, most of the book, when they slipped to the past, is in 3rd person narration. The book is good and kept me engaged, but I didn't like the lack of MMC POV and 3rd person narration. I wanted to hear more of Winston James, but his time only totaled about 10 minutes in the entire book. Morae did a great job narrating, though, so kudos to her.
