Publisher's summary

A top 30 Amazon best seller

King (noun):
1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy
2) The most powerful man in a group
3) Liam Black

He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.

But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero.

And - as I’d soon find out - having a king save your life comes with a price.

Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

This is the type of not-dark romance book I love

I love dark, dangerous alpha males… but not dark-romances. That may be a fine distinction, but I need my anti-heroes to still be heroes. Thus, I find many mafia or motorcycle club romances off-putting because of the level of crime. Thankfully, I had enough faith in JT Geissinger to thread the needle and gave this a shot.

And wow, this duet-style narration gave a supremely sexy listen. I knew Troy Duran’s deep voice and accents for Liam would rock, but new-to-me Marnye Young gave an outstanding performance of Truvy’s Texas twang. I will definitely be moving on to book 2.

OMGOSH...what a story

Seriously amazing story and Troy Duran's voice does some powerful things. He is now one of my new favorite stimulating narrators. I also liked Marnye and together they were great!!!

Amazing!

My first audio book and I was enthralled...! Listened straight through past midnight to hear the ending. The narrators REALLY made it come alive for me. Would definitely recommend.

So incredibly good!

Omfg if that's the synopsis for A Dog's Purpose then HELL NO! I don't need that negativity in my life.
Other than that spoiler, this has been nothing but interesting af and funny. I want to say it's due to Marnye's expert delivery and Geissinger's amazing writing. Troy with an Irish accent...🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. Gushing aside, this was a fun and hot listen that kepr my interest throughout. 👍

Wasn't sure at first but so glad I listened

So I started listening got to chapter 2 and was done... THEN I gave it another shot. about 2 weeks later started over. And it is a good book. Idk how many times I laughed during this book. Definitely worth listening too.

Beautifully written

The storyline is not too predictable.
The character building is nice.
The characters are a bit cliché, but still relatable characters.
The performance/narration is very well done.
The “scenes” we all love are well written.

J.T. + Troy Duran = I never want it to end.

Sex was 🔥. Troy Duran’s voice is like butter making me melt with that Irish accent. Truvy has the kind of moxie I like. She is feisty af and actually has boundaries (when she can hold herself to them with Liam being so smokin’ good at being bad). Female narrator was meh but the story a Troy kept it 💦.
