Resumen del Editor

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.

Excellent Story & Narration🎧Great Twists!

Kitty Thomas pens another dark and twisted story, a story that grabbed my attention from the very first scene and wow, what a scene it is and what a tease. Macy Laine, the sweet Macy Laine has kept her virtue for thirty years, she and William, a friend from college, had a pact that if they were still single at thirty, they would marry each other. She is busy planning her wedding, but she has reservations about it, the biggest being there is no chemistry between them and as sweet as Macy is she has some dark desires. Then her life takes a sudden turn, she is taken by Soren to pay off a debt to Colin who intends to sacrifice and will become a sacrifice to the members of an exclusive club.  Colin Black, a dominant alpha master, through and through, he knows what he wants and takes it. Macy is a real gem, nothing like any of the women he had before and he is going to have his way with her and have her asking for more. The plotting in this book is amazing, so are the twists and turns, which are mind-blowing. The story is well written and has the perfect balance of drama, angst, some witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions, an unconventional romance and steamy and well done kink. Kitty Thomas, thank you for the great story and wild ride. 

🎧📚🎧 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. 

Dark BDSM Romantic Suspense!

This is the second book in this world. Although you can read them in any order. This one features Macy. She is an almost 30 year old virgin. She is also a librarian with a very active sexual fantasy. She is supposed to marry her college friend. They had a pact that if they were both single at thirty they would marry. But Livia’s, her best friend, husband abducts her. And delivers her as a gift to Colin Black. He now owns her. She is to be the Sacifice. But no one will explain what that means. This story is deviously twisted. Macy’s fantasy world seems to be coming true. Can she let go of her conventional mores? Will Colin ever let her go? The more she learns about him she becomes more entranced and repulsed. Kitty Thomas is one of my one-click authors.

I loved the dual narration. Addison Barnes and Jason Clark do an excellent job conveying all the emotions and danger.

Unexpected plot twists!

Wow what a unique book. I was holding my breath half the time! Macy and Colin are very unexpected heroine/hero. Kitty Thomas has brought forth her best writing skills, her best plot and characters yet in this steamy, emotional yet unpredictable love story. Jason Clarke and Addison Barnes narrations are fantastic. As disturbing as some of the early chapters were, Jason made it impossible not to like our anti-hero and Addison portrays a sweet vulnerable Macy but with a secret spine of steel. Absolutely loved it!

It was okay!💜

The overall storyline was good but it’s the characters that I didn’t care for. First, I get that women have fantasies and that’s great. But reality and fantasy in this case were so close that there really wasn’t any angst for me.
There were some pretty hot scenes though 🔥🔥😍.
The narration was really good.
This is book 2 with an HEA and can be read as a standalone.

Sisters Spotlight 💜

Macy...

Macy is a hater and envious of Livia, and that's annoying. Other than that, I loved the story. Super hot! Jason Clarke is definitely amazing.

Dark Fantasy with Great Duet Narration

I think this can be a standalone, so don’t fret if you haven’t gone through another book first. The story starts right away and kept me interested the whole way through.

Having dreams and fantasies are fun, but when they happen in real life it can be confusing. The story of Macy and Collin can leave you with mixed emotions, but it makes for a great story!

Macy and Her Marshmallow

Colin and Macy were truly brought to life. One thing I really enjoy about audiobooks of KT's work is that I can always feel exactly what the story needs me to feel. I love that for me. I really really enjoyed this.

4.5 stars

Oh my gosh this is pure Kitty Thomas goodness. It was everything I expected and then some. I never leave spoilers in reviews and there is nothing I can say that won't spoil this book. Just one click and enjoy the magic.

Tha narration is fantastic. Colin is absolutely how I imagined him. The deep gruff voice is perfect.

Colin & Macy

I didn't realize The Sacrifice is actually book 2 in the Dark Wedding series until after I got to the end. While The Sacrifice is a standalone and doesn't require listening to The Proposal first, I was intrigued and wanted to get more of the whole backstory with Soren, Griffin, Dayne and Livia so I listened to that book, too. I'm so glad I did because it actually made me love The Sacrifice even more. Colin and Macy's story was so good with just the right amount of darkness. The story was captivating, original and twisted. I definitely hope there will be more books written in this series. Jason Clarke and Addison Barnes both did an excellent job bringing this story to life.

Intense!

This was quite an intense affair this was. Macy & Collin have so much in common (in a round about sort of way). And even though the journey was highly suss lol, the end results is where it’s at for them. After everything, they found their person. And as always, listening to Jason Clarke read to me is perfection 😍. Addison Barnes is also incredible at bringing Macy to life
