Publisher's summary

I’ve seen the way he looks at me.

The Captain. The unquestioned leader of this ship.

A ship I wish to be free of. A man I want to be as far away from as my legs might carry me.

The society he’s designed, the rules, the endless battle of wills.…

Yes, I’ve seen the way he looks at me.

I’ve felt his fingertips brush my skin. Heard his laugh. Experienced his smile.

One that’s only for me, and only in secret.

And I know what he wants.

He told me himself that everyone has to pay; that all who survived the fall of civilization were culpable. That’s how he justifies the decisions he’s made, the necessary evils he allows to take place on this ship…all in the name of a greater good.

And it’s why I resist the starved way his gaze drinks me down. Why I can’t be had at any price.

Swallow It Down is an angst-ridden, enemies-to-lovers romance boasting a strong female lead and a swoon-worthy hero. This standalone features an HEA that will keep you listening all night.

Exceptional story!

I'm still giving this a 5 star review across the board regardless of missing chapter. This story kept you on the edge of your seat. This one will definitely make you think & question everything. Narration was perfectly done!

They FIXED Chapter 15!!!!

Okay so I got this awhile ago and heard the same issue as other listeners about Chapter 15. I've been refreshing my library every week and THEY FINALLY FIXED IT!! Got to listen to 15 without having to buy a new copy, just refresh your library peeps!

The book was great, as all Addison Cain books are, and it was so steamy and creative! I loved the narrators, they captured the Captain and Eugenia so well. I'd recommend the listen!!

Wow. Just wow.

Spicy. Yet a love story. Mixed/ hard feelings. An impossible escape. Forced proximity. You name it- this book has it.

Weird ending.

Let me just say I generally LOVE Addison Cain. I wish more of her work would be adapted for audio. That said, and after listening all the way through following the recording fix:

The writing is great, all though it induces the same sense of woe that the the Bound series introduces with its first book. The understanding that the ideology of basic humanity has to be suspended post-apocalypse for the sake of instituting a system of order and to control the chaos. The hope: we get our humanity back in a few generations when we have figured all this out. It's a necessary evil. The thing is: if this is the tone you set for your book, I believe you are obligated to follow through to redemption of some kind. The Bound series did this even though it wasn't a perfect ending all neat and tidy wrapped up in a bow. BUT it gave all the characters what they wanted and what they needed. And that's what matters most to the reader. SWALLOW IT DOWN felt like a first installment. I didn't think it was and so, when the book ended so abruptly with no sense of redemption on the horizon, I went back and read the summary. My original assumption was correct. It's a standalone with no indication the story will continue. So, while I think it's great writing, I feel it is unfinished. And not Addison's best.

Loved it!

Her stories are just what is needed when you have the same old romance books in a row. Addison definitely hits the mark with her dark romance!❤️

Chapter 15 has audio issues

There is no female voice in chapter 15 just a lot of silences. Tried to delete the download and reload but it didn’t make a difference.
