Publisher's summary

Her love could set me free from the shadows...

Seeing CoCo Becket for the first time made my heart start beating again. It changed everything. Before her, I had no purpose, no reason to live.

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. I couldn't help but fantasize about kissing her plump lips or having those sky blue eyes staring back at mine, seeing beyond what I truly was. Broken and ashamed.

My desire for her ran deep...deeper than I expected it to. She was a goddess, and I was simply caught up in her glow. I couldn't say no. Not to her kindness and not to my need to be near her.

CoCo was the good in life where I was the bad. She became the sun to my never-ending darkness.

When a mysterious situation brings us together, I discover that I'll do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means risking my own life, to save hers. Because, before her, love was just a word I'd heard in passing, and now, I'll destroy anyone who tries to take her or that love away from me.

Different but good!

I believe both the author and narrator were new to me. I enjoyed this story! Kept my interest. Was a little slow for me but the characters were well done. A few twists and turns and ups and downs. Goes to show that everyone needs someone to believe in them!

What a wonderful story!

This is such a great listen! Harlow Layne’s story is a wonderful take in rich girl/poor boy. Body has had a hard 4 years and is homeless... from the first time he sees Coco with tears in her eyes, all he wants is to make her happy. Coco has lost both parents and gained all of their money (which she never really wanted) and the home that they built just before their deaths. When Coco is attacked outside of her work, Body saves her... and from that point on, they are practically inseparable.

I loved this! It’s an interesting story, with some twists and turns you won’t expect, and Lia Holland did a wonderful job narrating this!

Really enjoyed this listen!

I loved the characters that Harlow Layne created in this book! Bodhi is such a sweet guy, reserved and drawn into himself because of his past. He is drawn to Coco from the first moment he sees her. He wants to sweep her up in his arms and protect her. Coco wants to help Bodhi, but he is reluctant to accept her help given his background. Coco come from a wealthy family, Bodhi the exact opposite. This book has such good pacing and balance. The romance and suspense is fantastic and I loved listening to it.
It was my first listen from narrator Lia Holland and she did a very good job. It is always difficult for me to listen to a book with a dual M/F POV with a single narrator, but Lia did a really good job of separating the voices of Bodhi and Coco. It kept me engaged and interested throughout.

Sweet Stalker

I am SO glad I added audio to this book! I really liked the book when I read it a couple of years ago but CoCo and Bodhi continued to captivate me. They are fiercely loyal to each other, despite the circumstances. They love with their whole heart, as well as body and mind. There's so much that could go deadly wrong but they remain strong together. 💙🔥🔥💙

I liked the narrator, Lia Holland, but I would've preferred a second narrator to go with the dual POV.

sweet, love, romance

This is so emotional! Bodhi is everyones dream! Coco treats him as an individual as he is homeless and down on his luck
It all starts with a flower! He is her secret admirer, friend, protector, lover. She is his Goddess, friend, lover. She believes in him.
Coco gives him the trust, confidence and love he desrves. She builds him up, not tears him down. Homelessness is just an unfortunate state. and she doesnt look down on him for it!
Lia holland tells this beautiful story with so much emotion!

quick, steamy, exciting listen!

I wasn't sure what to think of this plot line as the Hero was homeless and creeping a bit on our heroine, but as the story developed, I grew to enjoy these characters and the way their story unfolded. The element of mystery and danger made for an exciting and intriguing adventure. The romance was there and I enjoyed this quick, steamy, exciting read. I received a free audiobook from the author and am happy to leave my honest review. I enjoyed the narration by Lia Holland.

Fabulous Story & Narration🎧Captivating & Heartfelt


I loved this book, it is well written with interesting storylines, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are realistic and easy to relate to. I adored both leads, they were amazing with great dispositions. Coco works in the town’s hair salon, when Bodhi first sees her she has tears in her eyes. Bodhi was drawn to her and he wanted to make those tears go away. Bodhi was down on his luck but he was not bitter about it, it made him insecure and have self worth issues but he never lost his kindness and goodheartedness. CoCo also had a great heart and she wanted to help him but she knew he would not accept help willingly. Bodhi becomes her secret admirer and when she finds herself in trouble he comes to her rescue. I loved how everything plays out in this book, there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, a bit of angst, mystery, twists and turns, some thrilling suspense, heartfelt moments and a loving romance. Harlow Layne, thank you for another fantastic story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

Lia Holland is a talented narrator and voice artist. She brings the characters to life giving each their own voice and personality as well as heart and attitude. She does a great job portraying the characters and projecting their emotions into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Thank you 🎧@AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

Super cute 🎧🎧AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧🎧

I loved this story! It’s unique which is awesome. It is a short, quasi-slow burn, but for all my insta-love girls and boys, you really don’t care that they don’t jump right into the sheets. The match up does happen a few times towards the middle and end. The steamy scenes are hot but pretty short IMO. The performance was fantastic! Lately I’ve come across several narrators who have NOT been able to pull off both male and female voices. It is impossible for me to get past the first chapter when the M and F characters sound exactly the same. But Lia does it seamlessly. I recommend this audiobook for those looking for a unique and sweet romance.
