The story starts out with a look at the horrors Kinsley had to suffer from and it’s awful. And immediately I felt so bad for her and drawn into her life, hoping for better for her. (I cheered when Kinsley met Adeline. if only all abused women received the help they needed.)
Ashton was mean in the beginning and I wasn’t sure that I would like him. Even emotionally damaged, he was a level of arrogance that I didn’t like. But of course, first impressions could be wrong and he showed strength and emotions that made me eventually really like him.
Kinsley, now Keira, her name in hiding, met Ashton while she was delivering papers for work. Ashton chased Kinsley and eventually, they fell in love. Of course, the lies had to continue because Kinsley had to protect herself. Her history caused issues but eventually, they achieved their HEA. The supporting cast is great, especially Lex, who provides some comic relief. I’m looking forward to revisiting some of these characters in the future books of this series.
Sarah Puckett was fantastic, as expected. As this book was a dual POV, it would have been great to have both a male and female narrator. However, Sarah did a great job playing Ashton (and the other male cast) too.
I received this book from #AudioBookObsessionReviewer.
