About this listen

I made a mistake. At sixteen years old I fell for the wrong man.

Callum Torrio. Ruthless billionaire. Dangerous villain. My best friend's father.

At twenty one, I gave up hope that he would ever notice me. He’s twenty years older than me and an arms dealer for the mob. The smart choice would be to forget he ever existed.

But that’s not possible. His icy blue gaze, sculpted physique, and huge rough hands play a vivid part in my dreams.

Then one night everything changes. Every fantasy I ever had, he brings to life. Dominant and possessive, he praises and worships me. He makes me feel like a woman, when all my life I’ve felt sheltered and controlled.

But Callum has dark secrets and a past that refuses to let go. I knew he was a bad man, but I never would have anticipated this…

This dark romance is the first in a three-book series. It contains dark themes and things that may be triggering to some. Please avoid if you don't like possessive, controlling antiheroes.

It was a good book that was fast paced. Abit to fast. I don’t like that the male and female didn’t stick to there roles. If it was Callum’s chapter the man was pretending to be a woman’s voice and it ruined how you imaged them to be. If it was Bianca’s chapter it was the same, the female would try to do a males voice.

But I really could not cope with a male narrators voice it really grated on me I don’t know if his American or whatever it is but it it just sounded wrong. It just twisted my guts every time I heard him read.

Good story

Performance is fine but not the best.
The story is actually quite boring and is repetitive throughout the book.
All that actually happens is they have sex, he's a hot and cold, manipulative, controlling A-hole and she's like "oh well."
Then she runs away because of the stupidest things, after which he picks her up again with a lot of grumbling, threats and aggression.
And then it starts all over again.
Make up your damn mind!
Very tiring.

Annoying
