Break for Me

The Broken Bounty Series, Book 1

De: Ember Nicole

Narrado por: Nowhere Eternity, Andi Eloise, Katrina Medina

Trista has been on the run for years, attempting to escape a past that isn’t willing to let her go. Life taught her that she can rely only on herself for survival, and in turn, it’s made her cold, calculating, manipulative, and just a little vindictive. She knows they’re out there searching for her. She knows someone will always be right behind her, but a life spent running and hiding is exhausting. A life spent fighting and outsmarting her pursuers takes a toll.

Jersey is a soulless hunter. As far as the world is concerned, his identity was erased right alongside his humanity. Now, he works for an organization that pays him to locate and return treasured and sought-after things for questionable people. Giving up any remaining emotional connection to the world was a small price to pay in exchange for becoming the most efficient at what he does. He is assigned the jobs that so many others have failed. There’s no length to which he will not go to find success.

Their collision is explosive when Jersey finds himself face-to-face with someone else who’s used to living in isolation, someone else who’s used to surviving by any means necessary. Their limits are tested when one will stop at nothing to escape his custody, while the other will do whatever it takes to return her to those who are willing to pay.

This dual-perspective, dark romance is emotionally turbulent and is intended for listeners over 18 years of age. There are trigger warnings included. Please understand them before venturing further.

Sassy, Spicy, & Traumatic with AMAZING Narrators!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
This enemies to lovers (who still kind of hate each other) book grips you from the start and doesn’t let go.

THOUGHTS 💭
💜 The sass and sarcasm and one-liners in this book are amazing. Both Trista and Jersey (and Memphis) are so witty and you can’t help but fall in love with them.
🖤 The spice is angry and reluctant and so very hot. Sometimes in public; mostly in seedy motels or Seph.
💜 Jersey and Trista do not have sweet, loving pasts; they’ve seen and been through nightmare situations. Your heart hurts for these characters.
🖤 There is a fast car and danger and a sassy handler and crime and survival. And I loved every minute of it.
💜 My second read-through of this book was an audiobook and I LOVED the narrators! They did such an incredible job bringing these characters to life.
🖤 The “full cast” narration (where each narrator voiced their character throughout the story) was AMAZING and something I’ve not heard before in an audiobook! This really brought the book to life.

The narration was out of the world good!

Between the writer’s ability to create a strong and engaging story and the narrators brining that story to life; the listener is brought to a whole new world. Absolutely loved this story and the narration!

Loved!!!

The story was awesome!!! The narration by all 3 was spectacular!! I can’t wait for the sequel!!!

🔥 This was a 5⭐️ 4🌶 listen for me. The narration was phenomenal and is easily 5⭐️. I had read the physical book prior to listening, and these narrators did such an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. I want to give extra props to Nowhere and Katrina for seamlessly pulling off the accents. Perfection 👌

📚 Plot Summary 📚
.
For years, Trista (FMC) has been in constant motion trying to survive while evading her captors. Jersey (FMC) has been assigned to find her and deliver her - alive - to whomever is paying him. These two have more in common than they know, which makes for a spicy ride.
. . .
🖤 These two have incredible chemistry, and you're really not sure what's around the next turn. I say this read is the poster child for enemies to lovers because so much of one is mirrored in the other. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes seeing the darkest parts of yourself reflected in another person to calm your soul. **chef's kiss**

Audio review

Absolutely floored.
Let me start by saying I’m a 1.7-2x speed girl okay, so when I say I SLOWED THIS AUDIOBOOK DOWN to a 1.4-1.5 because it was so good I wanted it to last longer .
ITS A BIG DEAL
Already a fan of these narrators I was so excited to dive into this audio. I wasn’t prepared for this absolute freaked masterpiece!!! My god these three are incredible!!

The flow between these two was so fun to listen to! It felt like a movie with the incredible background noises. I was laughing and snorting at the banter between these three characters, I was sweating and panting at the spicy scene, I was on the edge of my seat and anxious at other parts. This book was such a delight to listen too and immediately made me want to continue the series and read more from this author .

Hands done a top tier listening experience!

This story hit the spot!

Romance: 🖤💙❤️💜🩵
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pairing: MF
Narrator(s): 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration type: Duet Narration

Trista’s been on the run the last few years, always able to dodge the organization that is desperately trying to capture her until Jersey is assigned to hunt her down. Jersey, known as an Executioner, and his handler Memphis, known as a Judge, are assigned to capture Triss after the last few teams have failed. Being assigned to capture her is known as career ending within the organization but Jersey will do whatever it takes to get her.

The banter between all of them had me laughing and it made it even better being able to listen to them. The narrators were perfect (do we NJ people really sound like that? lmao) and I really hope she uses the same ones if she records book 2! Jersey and Memphis had great sibling energy with Jersey as an unhinged older brother and she is the little sister who puts him in his place. The chemistry between Jersey and Triss was a perfect amount of slow burn, good tension and the spice was 5/5. It’s been a while since I’ve had a book on a cliffhanger and I need to jump into book 2 asap!

All the Sass, Banter, and Heartbreak you can ask 4

Love this sooo much. The way this audio made everything so much more. The sass, the banter, the spice that will make you a puddle, and the heartbreak that will crush/break you. Hearing these character come to life was everything. Ember couldn't have chosen better narrators for Jersey (Nowhere Eternity), Memphis (Katrina Medina), and Trista (Andi Eloise). I need the next audio like yesterday.

I'm broken

this book was simply AMAZING. I loved the dynamic of all 3 narrator. The way they brought this story to life.

I loved the banter btwn Jersey and Memphis. They reminded me of siblings. when Tris came into the picture, I feel like Jersey was knocked off balance. This entire story was so good. The spice 1000% was sipcy!!! I LIVED FOR IT!!!
NOW to jump into book 2!!!

Dark & Delish

Ember seriously wrote my first FMC crush! Trista was black cat perfection. I loved Jersey Boy and Memphis too!
Nowhere Eternity, Andi Eloise, & Katrina Medina brought these characters to life. Great narration, compelling story, and spice to boot! What was not to love!?

I look forward to listening to book 2 in the future
