To Crave and Covet

Leave Me Breathless

By: Rachel Blake

Narrated by: Blair Dade, Sean Duregger, Craig A Hart

Twisted. Dark. Dominant.

Rachel Blake brings a suspense-filled mafia romance to the Leave Me Breathless Black Rose Collection....

The man sitting by my hospital bed is my husband: the kind of man a woman doesn’t forget.

And yet, I don’t recognize him. I can’t remember anything of our life together, or the love we shared. Even as his touch sets my body on fire and I learn to crave his discipline, my memories remain hidden from me.

I need answers. But the more I search for them, the clearer it becomes that remembering may cost me everything.

Please Note: The stories in the Black Rose Collection are considered dark romance. Some aspects may be sensitive for some listeners.

3.5 Stars

This was the first book I've read/listened to by Rachel Blake. It was a shorter listen. Those are most often harder to make a reader feel like they read/listened to a complete story. I feel like I did miss some things. We were just dropped in, which worked but didn't. We needed more. As a romance, it was lacking. The real couple in love didn't get together until the very, very end. There was no heart enduring moments as a couple. Now, Alaska, Murphy's best friend, was wonderful. Loved her character. I can't go into details without spoilers so I'll leave it there other than there were twists that were not expected, it's definitely a dark read with spousal abuse disguised as BDSM. I'd love to see more of Murphy and Cross as well as Alaska and Joey.

Craig A Heart, Blair Dade, and Sean Duregger were good narrators. There were times I was unsure who was talking, but quickly caught up. Blair had a few times when her performance reached my heart. Beautiful job there.

Looking forward for more in this amazingly dark world. #AudiobookObsession #PinkFlamingoProductions

Dark & utterly gratifying!

When it comes to romance, I like mine dark; the grittier and hotter, the better. I get a rush out of the unpredictability and the suspense; it literally gets my heart pounding, wondering what will be next. To Crave and Covet: Leave Me Breathless definitely delivered; it's was sensual, steamy with strong segments of BDSM and rough play. The storyline is deliciously dark, mysterious, violent, intense, suspenseful, exciting, and wholly riveting. As the story unfolded, I found myself completely enthralled by the highly complex characters and intricate events. As for the ending, it was fantastic; the missing pieces came together with a possibility of more.

Rachel Blake has weaved a captivating tale, taking her readers/listeners on an exceptionally twisted ride. She has broken boundaries with her phenomenal character development and dark imagination. Without a doubt, I will continue to either read or listen to more of her work.

The narration by Blair Dade, Sean Duregger, and Craig A Hart was spot on! They slipped into each character, capturing the intensity of the emotions and chemistry, further engaging the listeners. All in all, To Crave and Covet: Leave Me Breathless was a gratifying listen, one I'll highly recommend.
