The heroine: Jade Roberts – she is a lawyer, working at the city attorney’s office office in Snow Creek Colorado. She is in love with Talon Steele and best friends with his sister Marge. At the request of her boss Larry, whom she thinks is pretty shady, she has been doing some investigation into the Steele family. She also wanted to do some research on her own because the family has so many secrets and she wants to do what she can to help Talon and Marge if she can.

The Hero: Talon Steel – He is a wealthy rancher, who runs an orchard on the family ranch, his brother Ryan runs the winery, and his other brother Jonah works with the livestock. Talon was kidnapped by three men when he was 10 years old. He was held in a dark basement for nearly two months and was brutally beaten, raped and starved by the three masked men over and over until his escape. He has been struggling with the memories for years and has finally started dealing with his past while working with a psychologist.

The story: Jade has started to think that her boss Larry might be a sociopath and is a bit scared of him. Jade is also becoming suspicious of her mother’s new boyfriend Nico. This book was nearly as good as the first two. Like I said with those, there is a lot of steam in these books. The two main characters like like hooking up and get quite adventurous in the sack. After binging the trilogy though, I found myself fast forwarding some of the steamy scenes because I had enough.

I loved that Talon was dedicated to getting better and kept seeing his psychologist. Though I did think it took a bit too long before he finally told Jade about his past. Some of things that happened, and some of the things that didn’t happen surprised me quite a bit. I was hoping that Talon would get a bit more resolution and revenge.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Neva Navarre and Sebastian York. Sebastian is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a deep, gravelly voice which sounds so sexy, especially in the intimate scenes. Neva Navarre has a nice voice and sounds natural and expressive.
