Description

NOW AN AMAZON TOP 50 BESTSELLER

An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier


THE CHOSEN ONE

Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all—the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had—freedom.

I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.

After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.

Narration Change 🙌🏼

I purchased this audiobook when I heard it was changed to duet… and I’m so glad I did! Excellent voice actors and story. I truly hope the author switches all of her audiobooks to duet… I’d listen to them all!!

Holding True

This continues to be one of my favourites. When it comes to a good story AND steam, this novel takes the cake.

Excellent spice, meh for story

If you are looking for some great BDSM this is perfect. I would have liked a more in depth story line with less predictability. The male narrator did not sound sexy or smouldering, more like he was just reading. The female narrator was good. This is a decent listen if you are looking to get right to the spice without a slow burn.

Wrong Narrators for These Characters!!!

Ive read the book a while ago and love the story but really struggling with the narrators!
His voice is nasally and just….not Ryat.
Blake’s narrated voice is just as irritating and the ends of words and sentences change pitch in a way that makes no sense. And just… ugh. I can’t.

I feel like Shantel’s work deserves better.

Disappointed with the performance and won’t finish listening.

easy top 5 favorite

This story was amazing! The spicy is top notch! I don't care how toxic it may be, I NEEEEEED Ryat Archer in my life. The female narrator, however, was awful.

Cringe

Quite literally cringed the entire time, I couldn’t even finish the whole thing. The narration is awful, no real person talks like that. I was waiting for the storyline to go somewhere but never got to it.

Waste of a credit!!

I’m so mad I wasted $15 for a credit, and now I have to spend another $15 to read the physical book. The narrators are DREADFUL. The female narrator especially. Drags out EVERY single sentence like it’s the most amazing thing she’s ever said. I can not believe audible would even approve something so cringy. Absolutely ruined a five star book. If I was the author of this book I’d be furious. Awful. Read the physical book. Do not waste your money on this audible.

horrible narration

I don't usually write reviews but this one was so awful I had to. Both narrators were so monotone the female one being worse. like someone else that wrote a review said she made emphasis at the worst times. completely ignored commas and felt like she added pauses when there shouldn't have been any. overall just so bad so disappointed. I really hope they don't use these same narrators for the other books!!

AWFUL NARRATION

I’ve never written a review but this was 15 hours of monotone over acting. PAINFUL and took away from the story, their robotic voices made the characters one dimensional. Alexa would do a better job on KU. The female narrator puts the most bizarre emphasis on meaningless words like what she was reading from had zero punctuation. Her male voice gave me the biggest ick.

Narrators were horrible!!!

I loved the story so much but there narrators were unbearable! It was hard to listen to the male voice when he was impersonating the female talking points, it was tough to listen through.

I do not recommend the audiobook…

I will preface this review by saying I’ve consumed almost 200 books in the last couple of years, including many different genres (smut/romance, fantasy, thriller/suspense, and more), and probably 90% of them have been via an audiobook with a kindle accompaniment. That being said, this is one of my least favorite, lowest-ranked audiobooks of all of them. I normally try my best to leave positive reviews, but I honestly don’t have many positive things to say about this audiobook. Both narrators were very monotoned and the female narrator placed weird emphasis on random words and half the time it felt like she was reading a run-on sentence, even though there wasn’t one. I hope the author picks different narrators for the next two books in the series. I’ve really been looking forward to this book and was so excited to see it release on Audible recently, but it was sadly a waste of a credit. Honestly, Alexa reading it on KU would’ve been more enjoyable. I think the story overall was interesting, but definitely felt like it dragged at some points (I don’t know if this was due to the narrators' performance or the story). I’m still interested in the next two books and the characters they focus on from this storyline, but they won’t be something I immediately dive into next.

Honestly.

The guy reads too slow it’s annoying. The book itself is amazing. But I need someone else need to narrate.

Listen to the preview before you get this book.

Both narrators are bad but the female narrator it’s the worst. The story its ok if you have nothing else to listen to.

Can we get a redo? a.. re-read? lol

I gotta admit..i've been laughing the entire time trying to get through this book. the guy sounds like he's in a commercial, or a game show host. And the girl.. i just.. i don't even know what to say. This is a spicy book and i was cackling the entire time. I even showed my husband how they sound and the disgust and confusion on his face matched mine. I want a re-do. lol as someone with ADHD, it's really hard for me to dive into a physical book. I was really excited for this one and it's just... not it. I've had to pause numerous times and question whether or not I even want to finish it. I feel like even i would do a better job. Nearly a waste of credit. And don't trust the sample, it get's far worse. lol.

Very spicy dark romance

There are a few nit-picky things with continuity going on in this narration.
I also feel like when the male narrator does his female impersonator it’s almost sarcastic sounding. It sort of breaks the flow of things.

However if you like this genre you’ll probably like the story. Make sure to listen to the sample though before buying to make sure you can handle the narration style on this one.

Can not wait for book 2 audio!!!

Ryat has no problem bringing his darkness out to play wether it be personally or for the Lords. He will do whatever it takes to remain true to who he wants to be. Blake is very kept in the dark by everyone around her and she only vaguely knows about the lords and how they function in society. What she hasn't learned is she is about to get a crash course in the society wether she likes it or not. Once Ryat decided she was his he was so possessive and protective of her to a fault. He has no problem showing her his darker side and giving her an outlet for the things she wants to learn and experience. I love how committed he is to her and that no matter what his primary goal is her safety. ❤️❤️❤️ I can not wait to jump into The Sinner and continue to learn about the lords and their world.
I hope everyone gets a chance to listen to the audio for this book. I love how growly Ryat is and how much the audiobook narrator's can really add to the story the author has given us.
