Dante
My moral compass is broken. That’s why I need rules. They keep me from killing people I shouldn’t. They keep me from crossing certain lines. I’m possessive. Obsessive. Deviant. And I like to fight.

That’s what I see in Tristan when I spot him working in the swanky nightclub. His cool detachment is a mask. He’s angry, he’s lost, and he’s totally new to what he’s feeling.

I want to feel that anger. I want it to burn me. I want him to fight me—then I want to feel him submit. He won’t have any choice, not in my play room. He would look perfect there on the black sheets…with red blooming across his creamy skin.

Tristan
Okay, so I’m not as straight as I thought. I can deal with that, but I don’t know if I can deal with him. I could tell Dante was dangerous even before I saw him talking to a mobster connected to my brother’s death. I mean, Dante cornered me and bit me. I don’t even know him! He’s a thousand red flags. And yet…my body has never responded to anyone like it responds to him. That’s why I sit down with him one night after work.

Is this real? Are we actually about to discuss a sex contract? It looks so normal at first. He can’t hit me in the face. He can’t maim me. Why do we need rules for this?

“I don’t think you’re understanding this,” Dante tells me in his dark, sexy voice. “These are hard limits. Everything else—everything else—is fair game.”

He won’t tell me what that means. Half the fun, he says, is finding out.

This book told a detailed story with such a short length. I was amazed that the writer was able to delve so deep into these characters.

Well there are some very over the top scenes but the action and broken love story make up for that. It's been too long to hear from the amazing Joe Arden and with Devon Ryder, they are a perfect fit for their characters. They make a great team and truly bring the story to life.

I look forward to the next book.

Well Done

I was hooked on the story and the characters from the very beginning until the end. I really enjoyed Dante and Tristan’s story. It was intense and captivating. The narration, in duet, by Joe Arden and Devon Ryder is absolutely incredible. Together, they bring the characters to life in such a convincing and fantastic way, making the listening experience truly immersive.

This was the first book I read by Rina Saint, and it definitely won’t be the last. I really enjoyed her writing style — it’s engaging, well-crafted, and makes the story flow naturally. The book is also spicy, but it’s written in a way that fits perfectly with the tone of the story and the characters. it’s an intense and beautifully written audiobook that I truly enjoyed.
It's a dark story so it’s important to pay attention to the trigger warnings before starting.
I received an ALC from Blue Nose Audio, and this is my honest review.

Usually stories like this don’t have too much Character Development or it feels really rushed - Dante’s slow growth is something he thinks about A Lot and it makes it feel like it’s quick but natural.
I love it.
