My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My father is a genius.

A scientist determined to unlock human potential.

Only his experiments? He conducted them on me.

I managed to escape his cruel, painful control, and for years I hid. Until one day, news comes of his death. Along with the fact his experiments are still being carried out.

This time I cannot run, I cannot hide. I must stop them once and for all.

He thought he was invincible…. but me? I’m unstoppable.

🛡️ Audiobook Review: Unstoppable (Part 1 of a Duet)

Genre: Reverse Harem Romance | Narrators: James Cassidy and Michelle Sparks

🦸🏼‍♀️ Heroine Spotlight: Nova

Born into a nightmare disguised as a legacy, Nova was her father’s ultimate experiment — not just in DNA manipulation and pharmaceutical enhancement, but in psychological warfare. He broke her down physically and emotionally, rebuilding her into the weapon he envisioned, never once offering love or mercy.

Nova’s coping mechanism — counting to stave off panic — is a haunting echo of her trauma, now triggered only by the nightmares that still stalk her sleep. Ten years after vanishing, she learns of her father’s death. At seventeen, she fled to protect her younger sister Anna, who was just fourteen. But Anna stayed behind, working alongside their father. Now Nova returns, unsure whether Anna is a victim… or a mirror of the man they both survived.

🧑🏻‍🚒 Hero Spotlight: Louis, Dimitri, Nico, Jonas, and Isaac

These five men are more than survivors — they’re a brotherhood forged in captivity and pain. Like Nova, they were reshaped by her father’s twisted ambitions. Now, with the news of his death, they seek closure… and Nova.

Each brings a distinct energy to the group:

• Jonas is chaos incarnate — unpredictable, volatile, and strangely magnetic.
• Isaac, the group’s emotional anchor, masks his own pain behind a healer’s role.
• Nico flinches from touch and medical gear, his trauma etched into every scar.
• Louis, the de facto leader, simmers with frustration and purpose.
• Dimitri, the quiet tech genius, resents the path that led him here.

Together, they’re not just survivors — they’re a reckoning.

🔥 Plot Pulse

Nova returns to her father’s funeral cloaked in anonymity — black hair streaked with blue, a far cry from the blonde girl who vanished a decade ago. Anna, still golden-haired and poised, sits front and center, painting their father as a good man and mourning a sister she claims died at seventeen.

Nova watches from the shadows… until she spots five imposing men who clearly don’t belong. After the service, they find her. They’re not strangers — they’re echoes of her own past. Experiments. Survivors. They need her help to finish what her father started — not to continue it, but to end it.

Nova thought the nightmare had died with him. She was wrong.

💘 Things That Hit Home

• The super soldier trope is a personal favorite, and this story nails it — especially the twist of post-escape trauma rather than captivity.
• The men aren’t just romantic placeholders; they’re fully realized characters with quirks, wounds, and agency. That’s rare in reverse harem stories, and deeply appreciated.
• The depiction of childhood abuse is handled with care — not gratuitous, but foundational. It shapes reactions, relationships, and resilience.

—

😬 Room to Grow

• The government subplot felt murky. If the General saw them as disposable, why pretend to care about shutting down the experiments? His motives felt thin, and I suspected ulterior plans to hijack the research for darker ends. A bit more clarity here would’ve strengthened the stakes.

🎧 Narration Vibes

Told through multiple POVs, this dual narration by James Cassidy and Michelle Sparks adds texture and intimacy. Cassidy’s voice — deep, smooth, and versatile — brought each male character to life with distinct accents and emotional nuance. Sparks, with her British accent, delivered Nova’s perspective with quiet strength and vulnerability. A solid pairing that elevated the story’s emotional beats.

📝 Final Thoughts

This audiobook blends trauma, identity, and found family into a gripping, emotionally resonant ride. Nova’s journey from victim to warrior, and the men who walk beside her, offer a rare depth in the genre. If you love super soldiers with scars, reverse harems with heart, and heroines who reclaim their power — this one’s for you.
