Story
He seethes with raw power the first time I see him - pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He's dangerous. He's wild. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So, I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then, he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back.

Story
This is my kingdom. My territory. I own everything and control everyone, Aurora included. She shouldn’t have barged into my world with no armor. She shouldn’t have caught my attention with no warning. Alas, she did. Then she thought she could disappear. If a battle is what it’ll take to protect and own her, I’ll shed blood. Wars aren’t fair, and neither am I.

Story
Nothing is fair in war. Jonathan King is every bit his last name. Powerful. Untouchable. Corrupted. He’s also my dead sister’s husband and way older than me. When I first met him as a clueless child, I thought he was a god. Now, I have to confront that god to protect my business from his ruthless grip. Little did I know that declaring a war on the king will cost me everything. When Jonathan covets something, he doesn’t only win, he conquers. Now, he has his sights on me.

What’s a hundred grand to one of the wealthiest men in America, anyway? Only Cillian doesn’t hand out free favors. The price for the money, it turns out, is my freedom.

And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

The kingdom isn’t supposed to fall. The truth screws you over before it sets you free. Masks drop. Secrets unravel. Elsa’s race after the past blinds her from the present. I’ll fight for her. I’ll bring her back. I’ll protect her even if it’s the last thing I do. We made a promise. She’s mine. Are you ready for one final game, sweetheart?
Publisher's Summary
I'd never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning.
He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. "Drive," he tells me, and I have no choice. He's a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams.
The police say he's dangerously obsessed with me, but I'm the one who can't stop thinking about him.
Maybe, it's wrong to let him touch me. Maybe, it's wrong to touch him back. Maybe, these twisted dates need to stop. Except, he feels like the only real thing in my world of designer labels and mansions. So, I drive us under threat, until it's hard to remember I don't want to be there. Until it's too late to turn back...
Hostage is a dangerous stand-alone romance by The New York Times best-selling authors Skye Warren and Annika Martin. It's set in the same world as Prisoner, but can be listened to separately!

Narration matters
This was an awesome book. However I will read it next time. Why do authors think that they have to use both male and female narrators? This book would’ve gotten a perfect 5star rating if they had used just Jacob morgan. That guy can carry a book all on his own without a female narrator. Let’s talk about the female narrator. She ruined this book. She was so bad. She can’t do a male part. She wasn’t bad...she was horrible. Please authors if you read this review believe me when I say some narrators will destroy a great book. The writing was beautiful and awesome. I’m sad you used Lauren Sweet. Next time go totally with Jacob Morgan. Thank you for listening to my rant. I’m just so tired of bad narration. P.s. Jacob Morgan is the best of the best!!!!!!!

OH, WELL DONE LADIES👏.. & WRITE ME ANOTHER PLEASE
This is a dark gritty intricate tale of an innocent sixteen year old society Princess unhappy with the debilitating rules and bleak outlook of her life, who accidentally witnesses a bloody scene.. gets kidnapped and is very dramatically faced with death. And then, over a few further intense push ‘n pull back-and-forth short encounters with her sexy but cold kidnapper spanning two years, she gets caught up in, and consumed by, the magnetic misunderstood very bad-boy’s life of vengeance. Seeing beyond his tough, complex, badly broken, dark anti-hero exterior, finding out his chilling heartbreaking truths, loving his possessive loyal behaviour towards her.. and eventually rescuing him from himself and delivering peace. Brooke and Stone were from two very different worlds.. Brooke was a sweet naive virgin, a dutiful daughter, had always been loved and had a privileged lifestyle. But Stone had been a throw-away child who’d been picked-up by sex traffickers, he’d spent his childhood in a dark dank basement along with his band of ‘brothers’.. all swearing fealty, freedom and revenge on every single one of their abusers. Now men in their early twenties, they're a loyal, vengeance-fuelled, supportive, mixed-skills band who live together for revenge.. with one abuser killing leading to the next.. and to clues that hopefully will ultimately lead them to the lofty ringleaders of the corrupt high-powered paedophilic group. However, as the days, weeks and months pass with only brief meetings with Brooke, Stone’s obsession with her unlocks and awakens new feelings.. unwanted feelings.. feelings that will pitch brother against brother.. feelings that will distract.. but feelings that will bring great rewards too if he’d only open his once-dead heart and allow them to grow. And Brooke’s infatuation for the mysterious villain grows stronger, deeper, darker and more highly charged because the good girl wanted the Prince she’d glimpsed behind the hard shell of the monster.. and she wanted justice her way. Worth a credit? Well, I initially thought damn it was going to be a no when I heard the heroine was a sweet sixteen yr old virgin living at home.. and the moody hero was twenty-six. However I carried on because the suspenseful story was just so gripping, intriguing, dark, raw, dramatic, dangerous, addictive, different and was fuelled by combustible chemistry. And I easily got caught-up in the angsty romance, the well-written layered edgy storyline, the well-planned thrills and chills, the well-placed sex scenes, the character growth, the redemption and, of course, the sworn sweet revenge. So yes, IMO, creditworthy. The dual POV narration by Jacob Morgan was a five star stunning performance.. and Lauren Sweet’s was a pretty-good four.

Addictive characters and story.
Hostage by Skye Warren and Annika Martin is the follow up to Prisoner and it did not disappoint!!! Stone, is hard core and will do anything to get vengeance for his boys even if it means losing himself forever. He never cares about anyone except his boys until Brooke, she changed him. It was a slow change, but a change none the less. First she was his hostage and then she was his forever love. I do have to say that some of the story is definitely far fetched like falling in love with a man you see murder someone in cold blood, or being almost drowned by this man. As well as all the boys being free and clear from all They had done but I loved this world that was created in this story where hard core,broken men will take justice in their own hands against men who would prey on little boys. As far fetched as the story is I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Jacob Morgan and Lauren Sweet were incredible in their narrative and made this story even more gripping and addictive.

Brilliant
When Skye Warren and Annika Martin write together it’s just straight fire. It’s forbidden, it’s sexy, it’s delicious. Stone is a survivor and he’s out for blood. He is the darkness. Brooke is all the purity and lightness Stone is afraid to corrupt. But Brooke is tougher than she gives herself credit for. And together they are one hell of a story. The narration is top notch. It’s a fantastic listen. 🎧AudiobookObsession🎧

Amazing narration
After listening to the first book in the series I was excited to jump right into this one, thinking that it picked up where book one ended. But this book focuses more on Stone and I was a little confused about the timeline for the first few chapters. Things become clear pretty quick and I realized that Stone's story is running parallel to Greyson's and then catches up to where we left off. I thought that this book did a great job tying up all of the loose ends from book 1 as well as finding Stone his HEA. Both narrators did an incredible job (I could listen to Jacob Morgan all day) bring the characters to life.

Very Exciting and Well Worth the Read/Listen
I received this audiobook free, as an Audiobook Obsession Reviewer, for an honest review. The story that Annika Martin and Skye Warren gave us, the reader/listener, was exciting and nail bitting. The quality of their writing is phenomenal. They kept me on the edge of my seat and my attention was riveted from beginning to end. The background story of the boys to men is so scary because you know it could and probably does happen. The story starting with a 16 year old girl jumps to where she is a woman quickly, which was brilliant. The transition was very smooth. The narrators were awesome. You don't need to listen/read the first book in this series to enjoy this one. Although the first one is excellent as well.
