About this listen
A single mother’s brutal past threatens to destroy the new life she’s built in this suspenseful dark romance set in the underground world of kink.
Rae Dixon is lucky to be alive. Fifteen years ago, she survived being trafficked and abused, escaping her captors to reclaim her life. Now, she’s running a thriving business with her best friend and raising a teenage daughter on her own. Rae’s finally in control—literally. As Mistress V, Rae is the one calling the shots catering to Oklahoma City’s elite in her private dungeon, which is fronted by a spa.
But when a client goes missing, Rae’s world spins out of control.
Detective Dayton Clearwater shows up at the spa, sparking panic when he asks questions that risk exposing Rae’s true business. After several young women from her underground community disappear, too, Rae spots a chillingly familiar pattern. Together, she and Detective Clearwater must find answers before more lives are destroyed, including those they love.

Trivia is the magic in the mundane, the connection in the commonplace, and Maxine Hart’s second-favorite pastime. A self-proclaimed Brooklyn street rat and a high school dropout, Maxine has never been a fan of formal education, but thanks to her ADHD “superpowers,” she’s a glutton for knowledge—and a good fight. And when Maxine enters the trivia game show Answers!, her brilliance, coupled with her penchant for big bets, devastates her competition. Even record-holding, 76-time-winner Teddy Ferguson.

So she drifts from city to city—staying clear of any and all attachment—and keeps her fox buried deep inside her. It is better this way.

Love, be it wild or tender, often defies logic. In fact, at times, the only rationale behind the instant connection of two souls is plain magic. Bibiña Aranda, runaway bride, wakes up in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao still wearing her wedding dress, draped in the loving arms of a naked man whose name she doesn’t know. She and the man with no clothes, Indar Zubieta, attempt to explain to the authorities how they got there. It’s a story of love at first sight and experience beyond compare, one that involves a dreamlike journey through the museum.

Critic reviews
“This gritty erotic thriller from Levy (Walking Through Needles) delivers both heat and heart…Levy keeps the twists coming and makes it easy to root for her smart, empathetic leads as they fight to save innocents from evil…”—Publishers Weekly
“Visceral and authentic, Hurt for Me is a deliciously kinky thriller that subverts the tired, traditional power dynamics of the genre and centers the kind of women who are too often relegated to a sexy accessory.”—Christa Faust, author of Hit Me and the Edgar Award-nominated Money Shot
“Hurt for Me is a sensual, suspenseful, and sometimes terrifying walk through the secret chasms between what we tell people we want and what our hearts desire. After you turn the last page, you will be BEGGING for more from Heather Levy, the new voice of erotic thrillers.”—S. A. Cosby, bestselling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland

Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

May have triggers for some but the story is so good
This was a great story with a happy ending for most and a tragic ending for some. This story is about friendship, heart ache, trauma, love, and strong independent woman.

Intriguing Story Line
Story line kept you guessing and wanting more. Not sure if the “jabs” to “conservatives” and pushing an agenda was needed to keep the story going or served much point to the book. Overall, great listen

Amazing Story
Not sure what I expected, but this story well written and very riveting. 2 stories at once are told, her past and her present. It tells Where's she came from and how she got to where she is, but it all ties in with her present.
The narration was positively awesome. I was able to tell the characters apart easily. Great job!

Suspense with a touch of Romance
Hurt for me is a very interesting book. Lots of twists and turns I did not see coming. I feel it's more of a suspense book with a touch of romance. CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!! Some parts were hard for me because it involved children but unfortunately it's a reality. The book had a slow start but it built the suspense up. I would recommend this book if you can handle the trigger warnings.

A story with great potential
This story pulled me in quickly and would've held me straight till the end if it wasn't for the authors obvious bias against, cops, red states, conservatives, churches, "white old men", and every other controversial topic she could fit into one book! She filled it with every inclusive sensitive subject out there and the story got lost in her obvious distain and animosity for anyone who doesnt share in her beliefs. The problem with people who cry for inclusion, they only mean inclusion for themselves and others that think like them. But they don't have the same inclusion in their lives or hearts for anyone that might not agree. Very very sad, and bigoted all while trying to shed light on the very thing your bashing.
Anyways, its just sad... as I said, good story if you can skip through all the other BS...

Great book!
I love that this book wasn't all about sex. There was a real story told here, with facts, of course of how kink isn't all about pain or sex, but that there's various levels to it that at times, involves no pain or sex. Mistress V endured a lot in her life before taking back the reigns, and thanks to the kindness of three key people, she was able to.

Hurt for Me by Heather Levy
What a fanominal story, I loved the audible version very much. I can get a lot of work done listening to a great book narrated by a super narrator.
The events that played out with the characters were heart stopping at times. Echo/Ray was and is a very brave person doing what was necessary to save herself and her baby. The bad luck just kept coming in leaps and bounds she was able to get through, finally and meeting her wonderful friend who helped her so much until she couldn’t. All the parents were obviously shits.
It was wonderful to read about a good profession without sex that can be so good for everyone onv
I am so glad that you gave her someone to love with a great ending.

Good story and great performance
So well written. This addressed many topics without having them thrown in your face, as many other novels do. Such important issues for our current times and makes you see how easily it’s all glossed over or not even noticed.
And really impressed with the narration - kept me hooked into the story the entire time.
