Peter Parker Penn.

Unlike the superhero his mother named him after, Parker is no good guy. In fact, if there’s a picture in the dictionary under anti-hero, it’s his. Parker has spent his life trying to get back on the right side of the tracks, but each step he takes forward, he takes two more steps back. To save one, he hurts others. To make this good, he turns that bad.

For appearances’ sake, he plays the part. He does what people expect him to do - mostly. And at the end of each day, he goes back to his lonely apartment and wishes he was a different person. One who could fix the things he’s broken. Then Kayla Nash forces her way into his life, and the world as he knows it is irrevocably changed.

Everything he thinks he has right is wrong. And everything he thinks is wrong is oh, so right. One thing leads to another, and suddenly he’s growing a conscience, and trying to prove to her that he’s as bad as everybody says he is. Yet she won’t listen. She’s convinced that she can save him. Little does she know, Parker isn’t worth saving, and never will be.

This wasn’t the week for this book. It was beautiful, heartbreaking, tragic, and hot. I don’t know how she continues to make me feel better after tearing my entire soul from my body!!
Whew.. It tore me apart but I loved it.

I am on chapter 6 of this book and I already know it’s my favorite of ALL of LLVs books.
First, I love Joe Arden. He is a great narrator. So I was happy to see him as a narrator. I never heard Virginia Rose before (that I can remember) and I really like her!
And I love both the main characters! The suspense side story is great.
Like I said, already can tell it’s my favorite LLV book!

Favorite LLV book. And I’ve read almost all of hers!

Parker and Kayla were perfect, they had a sizzling connection with beautiful chemistry. They brought the best out of one another. I enjoyed everything about this book. Narration was fantastic.

Joe Arden and Virginia Rose did another amazing job narrating, this time for Parker and Kayla’s story.

My heart hurt for Parker and everything he had to endure when he was growing up and even when he became an adult. Kayla had a sad upbringing as well and I feel like that made these two kindred spirits in a way.

I loved the Kayla had a special way with Carmen, Parker’s dog, especially since she didn’t like women at all. I was actually hoping for a bit more drama and action in this story. We got a little bit towards the end but I just needed more.

Loving this series.

Another great book in this series.

I've read and listen to this book twice. And each time it seems like I'm reading it or listening to it for the first time. Am a Lani Lynn Vale fan for life. But this book hit differently.

crazy good

I love it so much how all these series are interconnected!

And moreover, I love it when a bad guy gets what’s coming. Add a beautiful “HAPPILY EVER AFTER” and it becomes perfection!

I REALLY LOVE Joe Arden! His performance along with Virginia Rose’s is as good as it gets.

Recommended Audiobook!

THAT EPILOGUE!!!

Love when the bad guy isn’t really that bad and falls for the good girl. Story had good flow and we catch up with characters from other series.

Kayla is by far the funniest character. This book was perfect. I laughed and cried. Another fantastic book!

Perfect

I love the book. Of course, actor Joe Arden did a phenomenal job, author Lani Lynn Vale , who is phenomenal herself. As for the female narrator, she's not my favorite at all; she sounds really nasal, but I'm still giving it five stars.

This was such a fun listen, Virginia Rose has the best comedic delivery - and so many of the best lines. The chapter titles will crack you up!! There was a lot to love about this book, the writing, the narration - it was all you wanted in a listen. Joe Arden again delivered a fantastic performance and you felt for his character many times, you were really rooting for him.
Recommended.



So much fun
