Book description
If you think "sweet and gentle" means safe, you've clearly never met Tobias Mitchell. Picture this: a scientist named Aria, all calm lab-coat vibes while hunting a cure for a rare genetic disease, accidentally collides with a guy who looks like he stepped out of a gothic romance novel... and then proceeds to become obsessively infatuated with her. Cue the audiobook narrator dropping a deadpan, "Oh honey, she's not just his assistant now. She's his entire universe. And he's very bad at sharing."
Leigh Rivers doesn't just write dark romance-she serves it with a side of "wait, is this a threat or a love note?" Tobias isn't just handsome; he's "death cloaked in a suit," and his idea of "gentle" involves locking her in a supply closet for her "own safety." (The audiobook's narrator nails that mix of breathless panic and "uh, maybe don't do that?" tone.) Aria's trying to flee the country, and Tobias? He's like, "Nah, baby, I'm sticking to you like glitter on a black cat." Spoiler: he does slip his mask. Turns out, he's been a full-blown obsessive since day one. And yes, he's definitely the one whispering, "You're mine," while simultaneously trying to save her life. (Because apparently, possession and heroism are totally compatible in this universe.)
The best part? This is a standalone set before the trilogy-but you'll be begging for more the second you hear Tobias' voice in your ear. The audiobook's got everything: the slow-burn tension of a scientist realizing her lab partner is also her captor, the dramatic sighs of "Trust is weakness," and a plot so tangled with "sweet" and "dangerous" that you'll need to pause and reorient yourself. It's like if Bridget Jones dated a guy who only sent her love letters written in blood. (Not literally! ...Probably.)
So grab your headphones, settle in, and prepare to gasp at every "I'll do anything to keep you" line. Because Leigh Rivers has crafted a love story where the most romantic gesture involves not letting your partner leave the room. And honestly? You'll be laughing and screaming into your pillow. Perfect for when you need your heart rate to spike and your inner critic to say, "Okay, but why is this so addictive?" Trust us: this audiobook's got the addictive, slightly terrifying charm of a bad decision you keep making. And you'll be hooked before Tobias even says, "You're mine." (Spoiler: He says it a lot.)
