By: Jennifer Hartmann

Length: 12 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.

And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement.

To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.

After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing story! Bad female narrator

Been waiting for this audio to come out, so I was really disappointed after listening. Laurie West kept skipping a lot of the lines in the book. It was not worth spending money for one of the narrator to skip through every line that is vulgar. Should have stuck with the physical copy.

Still Beating

I absolutely loved this one so much. It was a beautiful and intense story of trauma and soulmates. Every moment kept you on the edge of your seat eager for the next scene to play out. Absolutely phenomenal book!

You Work for this Happy Ending

I loved everything about this story. It was so heartbreaking but the way they healed and fought for each other just kept me tuned in. The performance was amazing too!!

Incredibly powerful

I didn’t realize when I start d this book what it was actually about. There were a lot of triggers in it for me from my own past, I normally stay away from rape and such, but I pushed through this and it was worth it. This was a beautiful book

Beautiful love story

Beautiful love story. Listened to in 24 hrs. Really enjoyed this. Beautiful love story. Love!

Wow better than I expected

All I can say is that I’m not sure how to move on to another book. There were so many parts that hurt my heart. Beautiful love story. Narration was great too.

get your kleenex

I read this but knew I had to listen to it because I'm a masochist. And Laurie West and Christian Black do an amazing job with the narration of this incredibly sad but resilient story.
If you are the kind of person who likes a good cry, this is the book for you. I'm not a crier, but I came close. My throat got all tight a few times. I don't usually like such angsty books but this is just so well done. And even though horrible things happen, it's really a story about survival and love.
Highly recommended 1000%

Loved it !

The plot was well written , the romance and suspense was very good. I liked the happily ever after ending. Loved this book .

i love everything about this book.

i love everything about this book. the story, the development of their relation. but out of all the characters, Tabatha made me cry the most. just hearing here struggles. i hope she and her daughter find someone or something that will help them heal. and finally be truly happy.

Dark Thriller…then less thrilling

The first half of this book is exciting and dark but the second half is just neverending love triangle drama! I would have preferred the whole thing be them trapped and eventually escaping at the end.
