Resumen del Editor

Rafe

Hate is easy. A hell of a lot easier than the alternative.

It’s my job to keep Wicked safe, which means getting my hands a little dirty sometimes. After I lost my best friend, I’m not pulling my punches anymore. So it’s hate that helps me win every fight and close every case.

But now the past is coming back to haunt me, and I refuse to be cornered. As for the girl who just moved in next door, hate is my only option, and I won’t go down without a fight.

Shelby

Ten years ago, he ruined my life. Now, it’s my turn to ruin his.

I didn’t plan to move in next door to Rafe Nolan - especially after what he did to me and my brother. But now I have the opportunity to make his life as miserable as he made mine.

And for a man who is so tortured, this should be easy.

But there is a dark secret behind all that pain of his that draws me in. He’s trying to hold his power over me, but I can see him losing control.

I can use his secrets against him, but as I start falling for him, I know this is one fight I am going to lose.

Welcome to Wicked Beach....

Defiant is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers romance. It has a love-to-hate alpha a-hole and feisty heroine with no cliff-hanger and a guaranteed HEA.

Good story

Overall good story. Painful to hear how broken Rafe was his whole life. Glad she helped him. But her starting to fight where she wanted him to quit was kinda hypocritical I thought. Her fighting didn’t need to be put into the story. And for them to be apart for 6 months while still living next to each other and never talking wasn’t believable. I liked the Rafe in the story but not so much her.

Couldn’t stop listening

This enemies to lovers story is to notch. Sara Cate didn’t hold back with the emotion, gritt and angst in this third book of the Wicked series. I recommend this book and all the the book in the series.

Second Chances

We all have things in our past we regret. Some regrets are bigger than others, but I love a good redemption story. Coming back from those retreats and getting a second chance to mend relationships melts my heart. This wasn’t just a story of a man and woman re-finding each other. This is a story of two people re-finding themselves and those they consider family.

She does it again!

I absolutely love Sara Cate and this is another winner! Enemies to Lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and Aiden and Kelley brings this story to life. I didn't listen to the first two in this series, but will definitely go back for more. :)

I loved this story

The narrators were amazing & I loved this series! These were some of my first audios so they hold a special place in my heart

Unbelievable! It was that good!

Shelby once loved Rafe. He was also her brother’s best friend. That was until Rafe betrayed them both. Now, years later he’s her new next door neighbor and that’s a problem, for both of them. Defiant is a intense, well written, gripping, emotional, enemies to lovers, to forever story that held me and would not let me go. I cried uncontrollably, intense ugly tears, and there is no way I am getting over this one any time soon. What scares me to the depth of my soul is the fear that for some, this story is all too real. The writing is gritty and brilliant. The dialogue painfully realistic and the narration? Unbelievable! Raw emotion comes through so loud, so clear that the mere thought of increasing the speed seemed like sacrilege. Don’t take this one lightly. And don’t pass this one by. Not enough stars on the face of the earth! WOW!

Second Chances

I enjoyed defiant as enemies to lovers is my favorite trope. However, I felt it needed a bit more of the enemies than lovers. Rafe and Shelby alluded to their shared past, but it took a while to learn what happened that set them on the course to become enemies, and then they quickly brushed it aside on the road to becoming lovers. However, there was some pretty good banter between the two that you knew would combust when they got together.

Aiden Snow & Kelley Huston (new to me narrator) did a great job narrating.

Gripping continuation

Defiant is an exceptional enemies to lovers story of self-discovery, real life emotions and redemption. Its raw intensity took my breath away. Rafe and Shelby!!!!! - the character development and chemistry between them was on fire!!

With their narration, Aiden Snow and Kelley Huston made this book come to life. I cannot count how many times I held my breath, waiting for the next chapter. They truly enhanced this books experience. I was blessed to receive an Advanced Listener Copy (ALC) and am enthusiastically leaving an honest review. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

This is the third book in the Wicked Hearts Series, a standalone romance in an interconnected series. I like this series. Rafe and Shelby's story is entertaining, and captivating. Rafe is handsome, wounded, and enigmatic. Shelby is strong, caring, supportive, and determined. They are perfect together! The storyline is well written, and intriguing. I loved to see again the characters from the first books in the series. Aiden Snow and Kelley Huston did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it.
