About this listen
Adrianna and Kova let caution fly for love despite the odds. Each lesson learned formed a new scar for them to bear. And now that her father knows their secret, the damage left behind is irreparable. They both must pay for their actions.
Torn apart, Adrianna is forced to face the last challenge of her gymnastics career alone. While Kova, the beautifully anguished man who has been at Adrianna’s mercy giving her everything she’s demanded, has no choice but to walk away.
Adrianna and Kova survived deception and betrayal. Now they face their greatest enemy. Time. With just one hurdle left, the clock is winding down to the final moment. Adrianna must soon realize life is more than an Olympic dream. But in order to live and salvage them both, she will first have to save herself.

When my older brother’s best friend appears at my family’s cabin the night I’m filming an episode, I’m surprised to see him. It’s been six years since Reed vanished from my life. After learning where he’s been and why, I offer him an opportunity to start over. Reed is reluctant. He’s on probation, loyal to my brother, and doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize his freedom. So we agree that his identity will remain a secret and that my brother will never find out.

Story
After being a soldier, working as a bodyguard should have been simple: Keep the owner of DC’s ultra-secret club safe, don’t think about his midnight eyes or his devil’s smile, don’t surrender my body to his wicked desires. But I underestimated Mark Trevena and the power of his dark, seductive world. I underestimated the hold he’d have on me, the way I would do anything for him at all. And so when he asks me to escort his soon-to-be bride home, I can only—miserably, broken-heartedly–say yes.

His kiss revives me. But our love could destroy me.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

“I was in a relationship with two men, and neither were giving me up.” That thought flashed through Charlotte’s brain like a bright neon light as she followed her husband out of her marriage counselor’s office. The office where she’d sat twice a week as she tried to repair the glaring problems in her marriage. The marriage that she’d fought hard to save to a man that wasn’t fighting alongside her. She’d been lied to, ignored, and used as a pawn to climb his ladder to success. Charlotte was broken, not just her marriage.

What an ending
Dismount. It’s a tricky thing trying to hide something from your family. They thought it was going to be easy to hide their love, and not get caught, but boy or boy were they wrong. Ria’s father caught them in the act and was furious. Now she has to continue her career without her coach, her lover, and while dealing with this incurable disease. What will ever happen.
Oh, the ending of this book I got to me it’s really got to me. It is truly a must read series to just read the wonderful words that Lucia has putting together in the series. This will definitely be a continuously read series from here on out for everyone and especially myself. I would so reread.

FANTASTIC!!!
This book has my emotions spinning out of control. I almost had to stop listening, just to give my heart a break, but I pushed through and I'm so happy I did. This is my new favorite book and series! Thank you Lucia for writing such a heart-wrenching/heartwarming series and Sarah did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Kova and Adriana's story will live with me forever. I don't think I could ever tire of them and just want more.

Hello Book Slump!
This book and this whole series took me on a ride. There were times where I thought how is it possible there will be a HEA but thankfully they got there!
Both Kova and Ria had a lot of healing and growing to do during this book. I truly loved Kova's redemption arc throughout the series, especially during Twist and Dismount. I wish we did see a bit more Ria's personal growth and redemption but overall I think I'm very happy with where the story went. I thought this was a beautiful ending to this series and without spoiling anything I will say I am crying happy tears.

I am going to miss my daily dose of Ria and Kova. By far one of the best romance series I have listened to, to date. I hope to find another series that will be able to follow this one. Also, Sarah Puckett, you my dear made their story come to life with your voice. Bravo!

What a wonderful way to end a beautiful story! Kova and Ria’s story brought me every emotion you can think. I cried, I laughed, I melted and even wanted to throw my phone a few times.
Even though this is my third time reading to this series, this has to be my favorite way I’ve experienced it so far! Absolutely spectacular. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
