About this listen
I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next.
Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other.
But then I’m taken captive by someone else and told I am the sacrifice, that I’m now property. A payment for a debt that has nothing to do with me.
Now I wish I could go back to that boring, safe life. Because this can’t possibly be my fairy tale.
NOTE: This is a dark contemporary standalone that occurs in the same world as The Proposal. This book can be listened to first or completely by itself.
If you like dark alpha male billionaires that kidnap the heroine into a contract marriage of convenience, you'll love The Sacrifice.

Story
Eleven years ago, I met him. A year later, I was betrothed to him. Now he’s come to claim me, slaughtering anyone standing in his way. My husband-to-be is a monster from a family as ruthless and powerful as mine, a man who deals in violence and destruction...a man terrifyingly like my father. For more than a decade, he’s stalked me, shadowing my life. I fear him. I hate him. Worst of all, I want him. My name is Alina Molotova, and Alexei Leonov is a fate I can’t escape.

Story
I never thought I’d see her again—the woman I left behind at the motel after our one-night stand. Picture my surprise when she strolls into the office as my new assistant. But wait, there’s more. I come home to find her with suitcases, nowhere to stay. I could decline to have her move in, yet I see a chance. My nosy aunt’s visiting, expecting to meet my non-existent spouse. My assistant’s onboard with the madness of playing my newlywed wife.

Story
I'm starting to want them both, not just my protector... the villain as well. After an eviction notice and one too many apple martinis, I wake, stripped bare and alone in a cell. No, wait, not alone. My evil garbage fire ex, Andrew, who suggested he'd let me stay with him "for a price" is here, too. He's the whole reason I lost my job. My head is throbbing, my vision fuzzy.

I didn’t know I was a captive. How could I? I didn’t have my memory. He could have told me anything about the world, and he did. And I believed him. Until the day a mysterious stranger showed up, killed the man I’d believed was my husband, and decided to take me with him. I don’t know what he plans to do with me, but it can’t be anything good. But hey, at least the world still exists.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Loyalty. Duty. Deceit. I never imagined my first trip to Italy would be to bury my father. But there I stood, alone in the ancient cathedral with my father’s casket, a handful of soldiers standing guard. It never occurred to me that anyone would disrupt the sanctity of the moment. But the Caballero brothers have little regard for the church and even less for my family. They marched in, weapons in hand, and turned my world upside down.

Being attracted to her isn't wrong…but acting on it would be. As the patriarch of the powerful and wealthy Cavalieri family, my choices come with consequences for everyone around me. The roots of my ancestral, billionaire-dollar winery stretch deep into the rich Italian soil, as does our legacy of ruthlessness and scandal. It isn't the fact she is half my age that makes her off-limits. Nothing is off-limits for me. A wounded bird caught in a trap not of her own making, she poses no risk to me. My obsessive desire to possess her is the real problem—for both of us.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fantastic narration, Jason Clarke and Addison Barnes were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying. Barnes’ Macy was fantastic, grasping every side of her personality, her sweet and innocent side to her passionate side. Clarke nailed it as Colin, as the intense, dark and demanding alpha he was. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen.

So this story takes place not too long after the end of The Proposal (Dark Wedding #1). Macy is the best friend of the bride in The Proposal, who catches the bouquet at the wedding. She's a research librarian for a university. She's an introvert with few friends and not much of a life. She does like to google random facts, which she can't help but share with people when talking about any topic she knows. She also has some really dark fantasies, especially for a 30-year-old virgin.
During school, she and a male friend made a pact, if neither was married by the time they were 30, they would marry each other. Seemed like a good idea at the time. But she starts planning her wedding to a guy she has little interest in. Then her friends' husband has a debt to pay. So he kidnaps Macy and delivers her to be a virgin sacrifice.
If you've ever read Kitty Thomas, you know she writes some dark stories. This one is dark, but it does not mean her darkest ones. While there is kidnapping and coercion, the stories work out in the end for everyone. It is one of those things where I enjoy reading the story, knowing it is fiction. I wouldn't want to see it happen in real-life, even with a happy-ever-after. I really love the characters that Kitty Thomas writes. I always have a good time reading them and love when a stand-alone book becomes a series (just like this one did), so that I get more time with the characters.
Narration
This is my first time listening to Jason Clarke or Addison Barnes. I think they did a good job. Dual narration isn't my favorite narration type. I honestly prefer a great single narrator, but this was done really well. I think they did a great job with all the voices and the inner monologues. I would gladly listen to them again.
Amazing story
