About this listen
Edward Fasbender is a devil.
He's my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one.
And now Edward Fasbender wants me.
I didn't expect to want him back.
Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn't mean I can't play with him a bit.
Except, I've never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter.
They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds.
Even if it'll get me slain.
A dark and edgy romance story all in one bundle. Includes Rivalry, Ruin, Revenge, and Rising.

I’d had this in my library for a while but I struggle to commit to series as I know once I start I can’t stop, I’m too impatient, and then nothing else gets done until I’ve finished! But feeling optimistic that I could find a life/listen balance I jumped straight in! Yeh, who was I kidding? I was gripped and hardly moved off the sofa for 4 days!
This is a great listen, the intrigue and drama was off the charts. I haven’t read the Fixed series, so I had no preconceptions about Celia, so I think that might have helped. In the first book I found Celia irritating, a bit like a yapping Yorkshire Terrier trying to physically best a Rottweiler, but I didn’t find her particularly hateful as some have. I did find Edward throughly hateful though. Clearly such a man would not be for me but I had to chill my beans and just go with the flow, otherwise my phone may have ended up through the window.
The first book just sets the scene, it hardly skirts the surface of the two main characters, and what we think we know, of course we don’t. Edward and Celia end up in an arranged marriage. He has his reasons, she has her reasons, neither of which are compatible with each other’s and both don’t see the marriage lasting much past the honeymoon. This ends on a huge cliff hanger that just made me want to punch Edward in the throat!
By the second book I’d settled myself to disliking both characters throughout but in this one Edward truly excelled himself in terms of being the most horrendous man imaginable. I get that Celia needed to be re-programmed so to speak but his methods were questionable at best; he was just mean, and tbh I’m not sure if this couldn’t just be called grooming. But i did again go with the flow, we spent the whole of this book on an island with Celia as she came to terms with her past, as Edward popped in and out just to wreak havoc, in effect keeping her captive there. I think I would have preferred to have heard more from Edward in this book, so we could have understand better his motivations.
By book three I liked Celia, but still it was a no from me re Edward. I’m all for a strong alpha male, but he was just domineering and overbearing. However as the book progressed and we toddled down the path of avenging the various villains mostly from Celia’s past, and as Celia became stronger and started standing upto Edward, he became more tolerable. By the end of the book I did find things I liked about him. I found the relationship between them difficult to empathise with though, this “need” to be dominated that Celia was constantly told she had. Not sure she did tbh. This was clearly more about Edward.
By book four I’d reconciled myself to the relationship between the two, but had hoped for a bit more from Celia with regard to telling Edward exactly where he could go. I didn’t think she was strong enough at times. I also found this fourth book a bit of a drag. The whole harassment thing re Hudson was a bit of a damp squib, and I get this was an interloper from the Fixed series, but here in this it was just out of place. I think a different vehicle could have been used to get Celia and Edward to the place they needed to be for the HEA. In this one Celia found more of a voice, but I wasn’t a fan of her methods to get what she wanted, but then after it all came out I wasn’t a fan of his reaction to it.
Overall this is a great story with great characters that really took you on a roller coaster. I really enjoyed the drama and the intrigue, and that the villains got their comeuppances. It kept me gripped for the whole four books. I would say however it could have been a bit shorter. All the elements of the story needed to be there (except the Hudson thing at the end) but perhaps some of the in between bits and the constant navel gazing could have been shorter. Yes we got it, she was consenting to him treating her like garbage, we didn’t need to hear it five times every time they did the deed.
I would recommend though. The narrator’s were very good, EW being one of my favourites, and SE is another favourite, I’m so glad we had a Brit doing a Brit character, it makes such a difference when I’m not irritated by the accent.
Oomph!

Tried hard to dislike Edward but couldn't! The rich, handsome, damaged vigilante, acting on behalf of girls and young woman, was hot. Loved how he was able to grow and become a better version of himself through his love for Celia. SE - another great MC narrator - was mainly absent from the performance and it gets marked down. Shame.
Thanks Laurelin. Really enjoyed this one.

How oddly they're suited, at first you think a character is just plane evil but twist and turns.
