Story
I knew the minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly. My father is set to become the next governor of Georgia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull. I wanted something more. I wanted Levi.

They clung to him, or maybe he clung to them, using the nightmares as an excuse to keep others at bay—especially his boss’ daughter, Hadley Walker. Beautiful, sexy, ambitious, and forbidden. Not just because the former Special Forces soldier respected her father and liked his job, she was too good for him—all sunshine and smiles while he was darkness and filth.

Creepy!
Whilst the story was really good the male narration was extremely creepy when he was doing the voices of CJ, Scott and Pierce!! His normal narration was fine thou! I found the discription of Pierce’s “abuse” of his victims to be a little too graffic also.
Storyline was interesting and at times very gripping.

Fantastic romantic suspense
I was hooked from the first word. This book draws you in from the beginning, you are never really sure if you’re going to get a happy ending, and I won’t spoil it for you! Just listen and find out. Ellie Masters is a fantastic author of romantic suspense novels.

Male Narrated Voice was Creepy
All in all I liked the story line but had a VERY hard time really getting into the story because I found the male narrator's voice creepy. There wasn't enough of a change in voices between the bad guy and the good guy. So it felt like the good guy was also a creepy character. Also felt like there was way too much details shared in the mind of sexual predictor character of this story and went too far.

Warning: This book contains violent imagery
I would have appreciated a clear warning that there was non-consensual, violet sexual assault combined with pedophilic ideation by the antagonist. The book was well written and illustrates the thin line between intense, consensual sex and sadistic kidnapping and assault. However, it was a difficult listen for that reason. I could not enjoy the protagonists’ relationship. The author can weave suspenseful tales with complex intersections.

Becky says
Rescuing Melissa was a more endepth book than usual, it was unexpected, it showed how sick the characters were but in the end good won over evil. I think this would have also been a good book to have a spin-off or intertwine with another book.
