About this listen
He was never supposed to see her. She was never supposed to survive.
Emily’s life has always existed in the shadow of the dead. Working at her family’s funeral home, she thought she knew secrets. But nothing prepares her for the night she discovers what really happens after midnight—or the man who’s been watching her from the dark.
Ruarc is a killer with a code. Ruthless, disciplined, and loyal only to his criminal family. But the moment he sees Emily, something shifts. She’s meant to be leverage—an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge. Instead, she becomes his obsession.
What begins as coercion spirals into a brutal, intimate entanglement neither of them expected. He wants control. She wants answers. And when the line between predator and protector blurs, Emily must decide how far she’ll go to survive… and what she's willing to feel for the man who’s claimed her.
Twisted Devotion is a dark, gripping romance full of morally gray characters, intense chemistry, and unrelenting tension. Perfect for listeners who like their love stories with bite, danger, and emotional damage.
Content Warning: This book contains scenes of kidnapping, violence, psychological manipulation, and non-traditional power dynamics. Recommended for mature listeners only.

Full of stolen artifacts and dark secrets.

Vlad Kuznetsov is a psychopath—a killing machine. Experimented on from a young age by a mad scientist, he cannot feel anything. No pain. No remorse. No regret. His violent episodes make him a danger to society, so he’s learned to live in the shadows. Alone is safer. Alone means control. Until her. Assisi Lastra. The little nun with fire in her eyes. She should fear him—everyone else does. But instead, she stands toe-to-toe with the devil and dares him to feel.

In the once-quiet town of Willow Creek, my life was a steady beat, a rhythmic routine, until the carnival stormed in, a whirlwind of chaos and danger. Under the neon lights and haunting melodies, Cade's eyes found mine—piercing, intense, sending shivers through my soul. He was a dark storm, a looming shadow over my every move. Cade's obsession was relentless, his desire a madness that knew no bounds. Like a predator, he stalked me, every step a calculated move in his sinister dance.

Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

He becomes obsessed with keeping her safe. Keeping her protected.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Breakup after breakup, they always end up back together, even though I’ve always had a thing for her. I’m tired of waiting. He had his chance. I want mine. When Dixie’s Alibi - her Grandmother’s bar - needs a new cook for the food truck, I jump at the opportunity, despite the fact that Kennedy Ward hates me. At least, she pretends she does. We both know she secretly wants me and always has.

I didn't expect the hot stranger who helped me face my ex to end up being an NHL player and be interested in me. I really didn't expect his two teammates to also be interested in me. These men look at me like I'm everything they've ever dreamed of. Now I have all three men wanting my attention. And I want them all. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. When it comes down to it, the hot nights, whispered words, and strong emotions might not be enough. I just hope that at the end of it all it will have been worth it.

Story
I didn't expect the hot stranger who helped me face my ex to end up being an NHL player and be interested in me. I really didn't expect his two teammates to also be interested in me. These men look at me like I'm everything they've ever dreamed of. Now I have all three men wanting my attention. And I want them all. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. When it comes down to it, the hot nights, whispered words, and strong emotions might not be enough. I just hope that at the end of it all it will have been worth it.

She's the shy girl. The one you'd never notice. But I did. I watched her, studied her. While she worked in the library, meticulously rearranging books as though she'd written them herself. I wanted her, so I made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Tell me your deepest, darkest wish... And I will make it come true. One whisper... One single wish... And I bought her soul.

He's coming... My sexy stranger never makes contact with me except late at night when he slips in through the back door. We only ever call each other "baby." I'm not even sure he knows my name. I sure as hell don't know his. I don't know anything about him. He's come to me late at night ever since that first night when my sex life exploded. I say "exploded" because it went from zero to "oh my effing gerd" in 60 seconds!

Look, I’m not going to lie and tell you life is all roses and champagne. Although as a high-end escort, I do get a lot of those. Do you know what else I get? Dubious clients, stalkers, some really uncomfortable positions (and I mean that literally), not to mention the exhausting amount of lies I have to tell on a daily basis. Thing is, beneath this whole veneer I’ve created, lives an everyday, almost pushing thirty, independent woman who wouldn’t mind settling down with someone who can handle her.

Channeling his past traumas, Jax seeks vengeance on any man in town with a tally of sins against his name. Jax is exactly what everyone suspects……an unhinged psycho with a twisted Robin Hood complex. But maybe for her….he could be different.

I enjoyed this stalker dark romance. Emily’s fighter spirit was so satisfying to watch. She knew she might not come out on top, but she refused to be passive. Her resilience made me root for her, even when things got intense. There’s a raw, chaotic pull between her and the love interest that fans of obsessive romance tropes will likely enjoy.
That said, I wish we had more time with these characters. Everything moved so fast that I didn’t fully connect with them the way I wanted to. A few more chapters could have helped build the emotional layers and tension. Still, the pacing kept me turning the pages, and I was definitely entertained from beginning to end.
This is a great pick for readers who enjoy dark, fast-paced romances with gritty emotional stakes and don’t mind morally gray dynamics.

Emily works as a mortician in her family’s mortuary, and her dad has one rule: don’t enter the mortuary after midnight. Breaking the rule, she runs into a monster and realizes that her father was illegally cremating corpses for him. Now her discovery has resulted in her becoming Ruarc’s captive as leverage against her father. Emily knows she hates monstrous Ruarc but then why does she begin to crave his dark and twisted attentions?
Ruarc is a man who lives by the rule: Do not get involved! As the ruthless leader of the syndicate, he can’t afford to let anyone in, and his new obsession with his captive isn’t going to change that—even if he’s decided to keep her.
My thoughts:
Emily and Ruarc’s enemies to lovers dynamic creates delicious tension between them and when they finally give in to their attraction, the spice is 🔥! Ruarc’s morally grey, tortured character is well developed, and his over the top possessive actions to protect his new obsession seems a lot like love—not that he knows what that emotion is. I found myself immediately captivated by their story and looked forward to listening to it every day. Shout out to the narrators, Eliza Nyx and Lucas Troy, for bringing the character’s to life. Lucas’ performance as Ruarc left me swooning, and I will be looking for other works narrated by these two in the future.
If you love a mafia romance with a morally grey, obsessive MC, a feisty, strong FMC and tropes including touch her and 💀, forced proximity, captivity, DubCon and Primal play, I recommend adding this audiobook to your TBL!

This was a great duet style narration by Lucas Troy and Eliza Nyx my first by these two. They both bring Ruarc and Emily to life.
I really enjoyed Emily character she stood out with her bratty and feisty personality. She didn’t back down in face of danger and it was more believable with her having been in a boring routine before stumbling into the side deal her father had going with a criminal syndicate bringing some danger and excitement to her life.
For a adult kink club owner we don’t see much of that in the book which surprised me I was expecting a little more of that it is spicy and the ending has everything wrapped up to give a ending for the story.

While I was expecting this book to be darker and with more spice the plot was still good. If you're new to dark romance I say this book is perfect to start with.
