The heroine: Bliss – she inherited a bar called the Saint View Psycho’s from her brother Axel who was recently murdered. The bar has been hosting illegal sex parties once a month and sells drugs at those parties. That is where she makes all her money, so she increased the parties to once a week. She is in love with three men.

The Heroes: Nash, War & Vincent – the men in Bliss’s life.
Nash – The manager of Saint View Psychos. He was Axel’s best friend and he had been keeping some secrets from Bliss, which she recently found out.
War – he is the president of the Saint View Slayers motorcycle club, and he had been falling in love with Bliss and Scythe. He had been searching for the man that killed his father and recently found out the truth.
Vincent/Scythe – he works as a bouncer at Saint View Psychos, he has dissociative identity disorder. He escaped from a prison mental ward and his mother is a crazy control freak who wants to keep him in line.

The Story: the last book ended in a whopper of a cliffhanger with a ton of things going on and going wrong. I don’t want to give it away for those who haven’t yet read that book but suffice it to say that everything is up in the air with all of our main characters, and they are all in trouble in different ways.

For a while I liked where the story was going, but after a while some things happened which were so unrealistic and beyond coincidental that it was just a bit too much for me. Some of the villains in this series just kept coming back like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Also, I hate it when main characters do stupid things and when villains are caricatures instead of characters. Though the story did get a bit better as it went along, and I liked that it was unpredictable as too many romance books have such predictable storylines.

This audiobook was done in multiple points of view via duet narration. It was narrated by Michelle Price and Gregory Salinas. Michelle Price has been growing on me more and more as this series goes along. She is good at having different voices for different characters and I like her a lot more than I did at the beginning of the series. Gregory Salinas has a deep, yet soft voice which I really enjoy. He tries to have different voices for different characters, but I often have to use context to figure out which character is talking.
