I HELD MY BREATH AS EACH CHAPTER WAS REVEALED

What an exciting and electrifying listen this was right from the get go as Newspaper Editor Harper first meets the mysterious sensual Software Mogul Jacob Latimer who soon introduces her to his dark sexual appetite.. which includes artfully placed black silk ropes. But Jacob is holding back secrets.. and one secret will connect him to Harper when they were young innocent teens - when an unbreakable bond was formed between a kidnapped Harper and the young boy who risked everything to save her from a terrible fate at the hands of a monster. However, Harper doesn't recognise her skinny young saviour in the handsome present-day businessman she's now falling for.. until slowly things start to unravel.

Jacob has gone to great lengths to hide his humble origins from the world so when he accidentally meets Harper again he thinks he can have it all and keep her from the disturbing memories of their locked-together pasts.. bitter-sweet memories he never wants to forget. Once Harper was everything to him, as he was to her, and Jacob just can't believe that she doesn't see who he really is.. behind the secretive Billionaire.. behind his fit body, shaven balls and alluring knots. But when the truth is eventually revealed both of them will be shocked and shaken with all the heartbreaking revelations.

This multi-layered listen was so addictive as you nervously wait for Harper to recognize the innocent boy she once loved in the kinky alpha man she's been helplessly falling for.. and to find the answers to his other secrets too. Jacob was intimidating, impenetrable and glacial.. but behind the aloof image lay a tantalizing man who had heart, heat and warmth. There's scorching hot detailed sex scenes with bondage, twists, suspense, romance, passion, good character growth and some sweet tense flashbacks to the events that first brought them together. Dual POV storyline that was awesomely told by one of my favorite narrators.

Worth a credit? YES, Beth Kery has weaved together a fascinating powerful love story with roots in the past as well as the present - I clung on to every enticing word, savored all the seductive unfolding drama and enjoyed every single second, minute and hour.

I liked it!

Yes, it really is 18 hours. But in those 18 hours we grow with this couple, we look into their childhood, read some very steamy scenes and truly get to know them. Did I mention the steamy scenes?

Very good story, it is worth listening to the FULL 18 hours.

Intriguing storyline - lots of sexiness

The storyline was intriguing and caught my attention immediately. I usually don’t like a lot of past/present hops but this one only did it when it made sense to give the backstory. The characters were well developed and captured my heart. Beware - LOTS of sexiness in great detail. But for me it added to the storyline and characters. Having 1 narrator for both was distracting at first but when I set my mind to it having 1 didn’t bother me. It would have been better with a male & female since the male character is strong and viral in my mind. Overall a great story, lots of sexy and sad it was over at the end.

WONDERFUL!

This book was wonderful! Yes, a major portion of it was based on sex, but the story was much more than that. The depravities he shows in the bedroom with her, no matter how he may appear, are so emotional as he tries to still suppress his haunted past. Really, I was surprised that Harper decided to stick around through all his Jekyll/hyde moments..but I guess a part of her felt that connection to him they had from even the very start. This was a long book, but I still think it was worth the listen. Superb narration as well.

LOVE BETH KERY

Beth Kery is the best, my now favorite author. She takes unusual circumstances and creates wonderful, mysterious love stories around them. Her characters have depth. I can't wait for more.

Great writing and love story

A combination of compelling story and passionate love, with enough kink to make it steamy

True Love Never Dies

This story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking but true loves conquers all. Beth authors an amazing story of two young adolescents survive a traumatic event and develop a life long connection that the adults around them didn't understand. After two decades of learning to live without each other, fate intervenes and gives Jacob and Harper a second chance to rekindle and build on what they started as preteens. This is a complex story about what the mind does to help survive a great loss and remember a great love. This was a fascinating story that kept me intrigued to the very end. The first few love scenes were just too flipping long, I started to lose focus before it got to the good stuff.

Maxine Mitchell is a really good narrator and she did a decent job with this book. I actually like her male voice better than her female voice.

Most definitely worth a credit.

Narrator warning

Great book however narrator nearly run is it. I had to put my setting of reading faster. 1.25. She was driving me crazy the way she was so slow and deliberate!!

Love It!!!

One of the Best books I’ve listened to in a while. Twist of the past and twist of the presant was well done!
I would listen to again for certain!

complicated story

Intriguing story almost to much sex but the story was worth the time. I recommend this book
