Behind the Broken

Behind Darkness Duet 1 (War of Hearts)

De: Chloe C. Peñaranda

Narrado por: Jacci Prior, Teddy Hamilton

No one expects an angel to buy a ticket to hell. I would have lived my life the righteous way, but my path of vengeance forced me to become the monster my uncle wanted to create. When I lie my way into playing bodyguard for the senator’s daughter, I don’t expect our fires to cross or to become addicted to the blaze. Anastasia Kinsley burns the ice that froze my heart years ago, but I need to find the will to resist. Chained up in the devil’s playground, I won’t let myself lose again.

When the devil came I couldn’t resist. As the daughter of a hopeful new president, my life often doesn’t feel like my own. When my father assigns me a bodyguard during the run-up to the election, I’m determined to make sure they both see exactly why I don’t need their protection. But Rhett Kaiser is . . . unexpected. He ignites a match in me I didn’t know I held, and the closer we get, the more I’m drawn to use it to discover what lies behind his icy exterior.

The MMC

I absolutely loved this. Do I wish the author would’ve went into more detail, yes, but overall, this was great!

Great Book! Book club pick

My book club chose this book and as I was on a road trip I did the audio. The beginning ripped my heart out! But Rhett and Anastasia’s story. The performance was amazing and I was able to feel what the characters were going through which upped my overall rating to 5 ⭐️

Amazing

Rhett & Ana’s story is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The spice, the plot, the betrayal…. This book has it all. Immediately starting the next book!

Narration is also five stars

Great book

Amazing! Narrators were great! Great plot and spice. Quick read with a good storyline! So glad book 2 has dropped!

must listen

if you like good banter to worlds meeting and morrally grey mmc this is for you. Rhett is Ana's new bodyguard how has built walls around his heart. ana is american sweetheart the daughter of a president candidate who doesn't like the the spotlight. the chemisty between them is lighting. there alot twist didnt see coming and i cant wait to listen to book 2. the narrators did a great job bring the charcter emotions to life

blah storyline, expected plot, lacks feeling

This felt like AI was told to write a dark romance genre and wrote a book as a collective of all the books from the genre with absolutely no understanding of human feelings. Oh poor me MMC, I've had trauma but I'm not affected FMC. very surface level writing, very strange and uneventful seductive scenes. MMC is a try hard boy and FMC is just as bad. so disappointing. I made it through half of the book. Disappointed I spent money on this.

Not for me

This was really cheesy and juvenile! I couldn’t even finish! The heroine was a brat and it made no sense for people to be so obsessed with her.

Started off good…

Just took a turn for the worse unfortunately. TikTok Vlogger mentioned as one she’s surprised people aren’t talking about… hate that I wasted a credit. The first third I was in to it.. then the direction just became too far fetched in a way that doesn’t make you want to keep up.
