Narration type: Duet Narration
The heroine: Selina – she is in her early twenties and is married to an abusive and controlling husband. Her marriage was a business deal between families, and she had no choice in the bargain. She is now on her way home in the midst of a storm and she is running late but finding it hard to see so she has to pull over, though she is worried about it making her late. Her husband will be angry.
The Hero: Lex – he grew up in an abusive situation and spent the last decade in prison as a lifer. One thing he liked about being a lifer, was that he could do anything he wanted, kill anyone and the extra time didn’t matter because he only had one life to give. Though he recently escaped and was walking down a nearly abandoned highway in the pouring rain.
The story: while parked along side of the road, Selina is startled when someone knocks on her window. It is a man, soaked with rain, asking for a ride. Though she knows it is not smart, she feels bad that he is out in the rain and without a jacket. She agrees to give him a ride, but soon finds herself at the end of a gun and forced to drive him in the opposite direction of her home. Her husband is expecting her home, and she knows he will punish her for what has happened.
Many times, I dislike books like this where the anti-Hero is a really bad guy, because his inner monologue on all the terrible things he has done seems more like someone who wants to think they are bad and exaggerates their own terrible accomplishments in order to make themselves sound much worse. Like someone trying too hard to be bad. Though this book didn’t strike me that way. Maybe it was the narration, but I liked Lex, and he was believable as a bad guy, and I was glad when he decided not to kill Selina.
This book was super steamy, but it didn’t seem like gratuitous smut, especially since Lex has been in prison for over 10 years, so I can understand the fact that he wanted to do everything sexually possible with Selina and he had a never-ending desire for her. The one plot point I didn’t exactly like was the fact that every man they came across seemed to want to rape Selina. Lex had to rescue her from that fate like 4 times in as many days.
This audiobook is told in dual points of view via duet narration and is narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Angelina Rocca. I like both narrators quite a bit and they do a terrific job. Teddy Hamilton has a great voice for the killer that Lex is. His voice is deep and gravelly, and he narrates so naturally that you can’t tell he is reading. He embodies Lex so well. Angelina Rocca has a soft feminine voice that sounds youthful, and she does a wonderful job as Selina.
