INTENSE

By: Luna Mason

Narrated by: Liam Sanderson, Bridget Bordeaux

Two serial killer surgeons. One accidental marriage. And an obsession that cuts deeper than a scalpel.

FINN

I’ve built my life on precision and control. Saving lives by day in the operating room and taking them for the mafia at night. Then one reckless night in Vegas rewrites my story. I wake up married to Dr. Stephanie Miller. The only woman who’s ever had the nerve to challenge me. And the second I realize how much she despises being my wife, I know I can never let her go. For the first time in my life I want more than control . . . I want my wife to love me back. I’ve been studying her since the day we met. But I missed one vital piece of information . . . Her killer instincts run just as deep. And now, we are both on trial. When our secrets are revealed, I know one thing . . . We’re either going to save each other—or burn in hell together.

STEPHANIE

I sacrificed everything to make it as a heart surgeon, yet I still don't feel complete. It doesn’t help that my boss is a total a’hole. Dr. Finn Quinn. I thought I remained unaffected by his Irish charm. Until one reckless night in Vegas leaves me chained to him. I fight against him with everything I have. But deep down, I know we’re not rivals. We’re both running from pasts that carved scars into our bones. When I’m forced to betray him, it rips me apart. Every trial is designed to break me, to prove I don’t belong at his side. But no matter how brutal, how twisted, how merciless he is . . . I see through him. He wants me to believe he’s a monster. But I see the real Finn. And now I only have one goal in life . . . To make my husband fall in love with me again. I’ll prove I’m worthy of his heart—even if it kills me.

⛓️‍💥 Dark, Obsessive Romance


This audiobook is narrated by Liam Sanderson and Bridget Bordeaux. Liam is a new to me narrator. This is the first time I’m listening to him bring a character to life and he did NOT disappoint. Bridget is absolutely perfect whenever she narrates. She portrays the character perfectly and always brings the emotions to the ears!

Intense is exactly what the title promises. Luna Mason takes dark romance to another level with a story that is equal parts chilling, passionate, and impossible to put down.
We meet Finn—brilliant surgeon by day, cold-blooded ki€€3r by night. He’s ruthless, manipulative, and yet absolutely magnetic to watch in action. His obsession with Stephanie, a fellow surgeon, simmers in the background until it bursts into something neither of them can ignore.
Stephanie has spent years in Finn’s shadow, fighting to prove herself in a field where she constantly comes second to Dr. Quinn. By night, though, she’s not just a survivor—she’s a vigilante dancer who lures dangerous men into her orbit and delivers them the justice they deserve. 🔥
The tension between Finn and Stephanie is razor sharp, their dynamic dripping with rivalry, mistrust, and the kind of chemistry that burns right off the page. And then, in true dark romance fashion, a drunken night leads to an unexpected marriage—forcing them into a proximity that neither of them can escape. The push and pull between them is electrifying, layered with secrets, danger, and a shocking amount of unexpected common ground.
Luna Mason balances the brutality of Finn’s world with Stephanie’s fire and resilience, creating a story that’s both twisted and strangely beautiful. Intense is dark romance at its finest—violent, passionate, and unforgettable.

Steph & Finn Are Perfect

Another hit as per usual. I absolutely loved this book just like the others. Their work chemistry & banter were awesome and funny. I literally laughed when they woke up the next morning in Vegas. lol. Their bond, the games, the twist & turns them how they changed things up at the end was genius & epic!

Should have been Duet narration

I have been waiting for this audiobook, but it was disappointing. I adored Ignite.

I found the female narrator's voice for Finn difficult to listen to. The Irish accents also didn't match. I think this is an audio worth skipping. Just read the book.

Ugh!!!!

I LOVE Luna Mason books and I've yet to listen to any that weren't anything less than amazing...but I couldn't finish this one and I hate so much that I couldn't. It takes A LOT for me to DNF a book and this time it wasn't the storyline. I wanted to finish it so badly. I just couldn't get passed the female narrator. The mmc is Irish mafia but since its dual narration (which usually doesn't bother me) her male voice had NO Irish accent and not even a good male voice on top of that. Her female narration is fine. She does better when its a duet narration. The male narrator did a great job though and I really enjoyed his chapters. I almost wish he had just done the whole book as single narration. It really bothers me that I couldn't finish it because I was really invested in seeing how Finn's story played out. I was really looking forward to his book since book 1. I just couldn't take her chapters seriously and it started to really annoy me. I made it through half of the book and just couldn't handle it anymore. If you can get past her narration I'm sure the book itself is amazing. On to the next book of the series and I'm hoping the narration is better or I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the series. 😞
