Different than what I expected.

I was surprised by the story & the outstanding Audible reading of Sebastian York. (York’s could read a phone book & I’d enjoy it.) I’m new to Lexi Blake but fell in love w/ the Bliss series. The Bliss series was filled w/ humor, relationships & description so clear you have could be there. This story is shorter so w/ it has less character development but not to the point of ignoring the main characters. (I adore Cody. He’s everyone’s best friend.) I was afraid since this about a couple where he can’t commit & woman trying to find herself after battling cancer it would be depressing. However the messages of compromise, self-respect & the importance of friendship make nether character anything but genuine. I would recommend it to others.

Love Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak

Another awesome book by Lexi Blake /Sophie Oak! Tons of hot steam!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 And Sebastian York is fantastic, as always!!!♥♥♥

Loved it

So good. At moments I got nervous that Cal might not learn his lesson but in the end he did and what a delightful ending it was. Highly recommend if you like 🌶️. My only complaint is I wish it had been a bit longer but I feel satisfied so I can’t really complain about the books length.

Communication is key...

For a shorter story this one packs a lot in a short time. A bit of an emotional roller coaster.

This D/s story starts off with Cal and Gabby in a contractual relationship with strict set of rules...Until Gabby decides she needs more. She had her reasons for leaving but didn't reveal them to Cal...but left and left him in confusion. Months later he finds out and goes on a mission to get her back.

I was given this book to listen to and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Was not emotionally moved

I like when Sebastian York narrates alone so I tried it. Sometimes I can listen to specific genres and care but Dom/Sub I’m finding is not for me. I didn’t think this was an emotional love story- just felt it was abusive. They shouldn’t have had a hea… she should’ve ran farther away.
Didn’t deduct stars because it’s not a bad story- it’s just not for me.
