Quinn

I'd say I'm down on my luck, but that's an understatement. I'm flat on my ass. Homeless, hungry, and in hiding with my little sister at the age of 21, I've never been so desperate. I've hit rock bottom when I get an offer I can't refuse. Sell my body to save my sister? There's nothing I won't do to keep her safe. I make the rules, and I'm not afraid to defend myself if this rich guy crosses the line. But once I see beneath his cold, calculating façade, the lines aren't so clear anymore.

Andrew

She's an intoxicating mix of tough and vulnerable I've never known before. This homeless woman who fits right into my upper-class world is running from someone powerful, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect her. But Quinn isn't meant to be controlled, so I'm forced to choose between owning her and loving her. I've finally met my match, and I'll do whatever it takes to make her truly mine.

Great story line

I listened to this audio all night long. I’m exhausted since I didn’t sleep a wink. I love it when I listen to a really good story.

It’s great - excellent dramatic storyline

4/5 stars. Really enjoyed the characters and dialogue. The story was excellent. Lots of drama and suspense.

Passionate.

Narration was good.

Very odd but in a good way

Great story, takes a bit to really get into it and it is a unique story line. The beginning is really odd but the rest of the story is amazing and really sweet. I especially appreciate the bonus material, it’s almost like a second epilogue

Love Cinderella stories!

Handsome prince saves Cinderella from poverty and evil step father. This was so sweet. The heroine wasn’t whiny or weak, but needed help. The hero was determined to rescue her, while he struggled with his own sadness. I just loved this story. Narrators were excellent. It is a bit of a fairytale... but I love a good Cinderella type love story. I’m going to listen to this one many times.

4 1/2 Great Stars!

This was a great romance story. Quinn and her sister are living on the streets when a chance meeting with a guy changes their lives forever. I don't get why the H/h were both betrayed by people they both trusted. I wished things would've went down differently with Bear at the end of the book.

EMOTIONAL, ENDEARING & REFRESHINGLY DIFFERENT

Wow.. this may have been my first Brenda Rothert book but it certainly won't be my last because she very quickly hooked me all the way in with her riveting story about twenty-one year old Quinn and her sixteen year old sister Bethy. They had fled their lives four years earlier and have been surviving on the streets, in the tunnels and in the hidden spaces of NYC ever since - trawling through dumpsters in search of morsels of food. And for two years they've had the support/friendship/guidance of Bear a thirty+ year old homeless man. Quinn is strong and she's determined to keep Bethy safe, protect her and provide for her sister no matter what.. but Bethy's getting sick. So, when a stranger offers Quinn $500 and will provide shelter and warmth for just one night, Quinn simply can't refuse.. even if it means temporarily splitting up with her sister and Bear.. even if it means selling her body.. and even if it means losing her virginity.

Successful businessman Andrew Wentworth has had his share of heartache and bad memories which has left him jaded with very high walls - so now he gets his assistant to find willing women all too ready to spend one hot night with the handsome sexy alpha twenty-eight year old in exchange for money. And, when Andrew is introduced to the beautiful blond his assistant has 'acquired' for the night, he thinks she's going to be just as greedy, just as flirtatious and just as manipulative as all his other hook-ups. But Andrew soon realizes that Quinn is NOTHING like the other women.. she is innocent, mysterious, strong-willed, caring, shy and totally uninterested in his money.. and him. Andrew instantly becomes charmed by Quinn's refreshing personality and makes her another proposition.. one that will eventually lead them on the path to their HEA. However, both of them are keeping secrets.. and bit by bit all is revealed as the plot, their secrets and their lives start to unfold and unravel.

What a wonderful dual POV slow-building love story this was between survivors of very different traumas who lowered their defences and gave up their secrets for love.. and fought their way to a better life. It picks up its pace towards the end as the focus changes from their budding building relationship - to the secrets that are keeping them apart and this injects twists, surprises and a bit of suspense too. There's dangerous drama and some angst along the way and, although they can't yet trust each other to share their secrets, these two loveable protective nurturing characters are very tender, compassionate, understanding and supportive of one another's feelings. Slowly Andrew shows Quinn how much he cares, what lengths he will go to to protect her and he teaches Quinn about passion and sexual desire too. Their journey brings them character growth, sexy times, testing times and happy times.. but, as Andrew and Quinn get closer and closer, Bethy Bear and the very real threat they ran away from, is never far from Quinn's thoughts. And, before their story can end, there will be tense times, twists and turbulence.

Worth a credit? Absolutely 100% yes.. a well-written meshing of two very different worlds, the emotional uniting of two very different characters and they are brought together by very different needs. However, at the end of their bitter-sweet struggles, what was left was a deep unwaivering soul-soul forever love. Ms Rothert's well-placed words formed wonderfully vivid and detailed scenes.. and the good, the bad, the shocking and the ugly were all brought to life by the talented team of narrators who each had a part in turning this awesome book into a 5* listen.

Brenda writes slow building, realistic love stories

I loved the characters, warts and all, and how Andrew loved Quinn so much and wanted to protect her. Narrators do a great job together too.

This was a 'WOW' book

What a great story line. Brenda Rothert wrote a book that was impossible to put down. The story line kept my interest from the beginning to the very end. The characters, Andrew and Quinn, were wonderful. There was not only romance, but suspense and intrigue. Had to make sure all those responsible for Quinn and her sister's predicament were punished. Andrew was so hot. The narrators were wonderful as well. They brought the characters and story to life.

Great story...not a fan of Kirsten Leigh narrator

I enjoyed the story. It was short, but well written. I loved the male narrator, Lee Samuels, but the female narrator never really got into the characters she was portraying. More like she just read the book and sentences always sounded the same, voice modulating from low to high then low again.

BEST book!

I loved it. so much passion, love, intensity. i always wanted a love like them too. and i have found it. must read again!
