About this audiobook

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

Two broken souls collide as ominous threats emerge…

Arianna Lawson has one goal: help her sister defeat the Sendaxa regime and live a solemn existence free from the chaos of their dystopian world. Life has taught her hard lessons about pain and loss, and she has no desire to open herself to love—even for the strong, stoic man who consumes her every thought.

Dominic Cavalleri has experienced his own loss, retreating behind false emotion to bury the pain. After sustaining a life-threatening injury, he’s determined to change his ways—and to explore the emotion he saw in Arianna’s gorgeous eyes when he was moments from death.

Thrust into a dangerous mission, the two soldiers work together as their passion ignites. But Arianna’s stubborn denial of her feelings is Dominic’s greatest foe, and he’ll stop at nothing to tear down her walls as they fight to restore balance.

If you love a reverse grumpy-sunshine story (she’s grumpy!) with a hero determined to bestow the love his woman deserves, a side of smokin’ hot romance, and a race to save the world, this book is for you! Settle in and enjoy!

Ratings and reviews

The second book in this series picks up right where we left off in book one which I appreciate, with everyone wanting to save the world from the dystopia it’s turned into. This time around we follow Danica’s sister, Arianna (Ari) & Dominic as they embark on a rescue mission to save Dani and Ari’s sister, Raquel. If you’re looking for some steam, this book absolutely delivered there. I really enjoyed Ari’s character – knowing more about her backstory.

Audiobook is fantastically performed with duel narration. The story itself is engaging with some great twists I did not see coming. Loved every second and highly recommend.
