Delicious

Pleasure and Prey

By: AJ Merlin

Narrated by: Marie Hawkins

When I'm confronted in the woods by a man with a chainsaw and a gorgeous face, I should’ve known it would end poorly.

But when I end up in the killer’s house instead of chopped into little pieces, I don’t know what to think. Not when he promises me that he won’t hurt me, and especially when he tells me that I can’t leave.

Not unless he can trust me.

He can’t, of course. I’ll tell anyone that will listen that this monster cut up some man in the moonlight, even if he promises that it had been deserved.

He’s lying, because there’s no way anyone deserves what he did.

Earning his trust is an act, but when the lie starts to fail, I find that the man underneath the terrifying mask is something altogether different than I could ever expect. He’s charming, sweet, and his obsession with me is dangerous enough that I know I should run far and fast before either of us can act on it.

Can a monster like him ever love a girl he found in the woods, or am I destined to become Sunday dinner for a recovering cannibal and the family he swears to hate?

Delicious is a contemporary dark romance standalone set in the Pleasure & Prey universe. This is an MF romance. Please see author’s note at the front of the book using the ‘look inside the book’ feature for a full list of content warnings.

Saylor and Jed

5 ⭐ 4 🌶️ 5 🎧

I'm so head over heels for this series. Jed is flipping unhinged and quite frankly, Saylor wasn't all that far behind at the end. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre inspiration was perfect, and I loved the bad guys they took down. From the very start I was hooked on these two.

I really enjoyed seeing our old friends again, even more so with them getting to know Saylor and talking about their girls. There were some pretty adorable moments for a serial unaliver romance.

The audio was great. Marie Hawkins was fantastic as Saylor and Co and I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Pink Flamingo for the advanced copy!

Dark Contemporary Romance

Delicious by AJ Merlin is a contemporary dark romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Marie Hawkins. This is the fourth book in the Pleasure and Prey series and can be read as standalone.

I love AJ's books. She does an amazing job pulling me into her stories that I can't help but binge them in one sitting. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Jed and Saylor.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Heartless to be released on audio.

Marie did an amazing job on the narration. She really knows how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a dark romance, serial killer romance, or romantic suspense.

Good one

This series has been one of my absolute faves to read and this book is no different! It’s dark, steamy and oh so good especially if you like serial killers! I’d definitely recommend this whole series!

Great addition to series

This series is one that always makes me think how everyone needs someone to love, and to be loved back. I liked Saylor and Jed grew on me as the story unfolded. I enjoyed seeing characters from the previous books in the series. This is a dark, at times gruesome, storyline with a HEA ending.

Marie Hawkins is an excellent narrator. She voiced both male and female characters perfectly.

Jed & Sailor

I thoroughly enjoy Aj Merlin’s work. She has a way of making murderers/serial killers seem harmless. Jed is a big chainsaw wielding softie. He loves sailor from the moment he sees her, the instalove obsession is sweet, not creepy like you’d expect. I accidentally read this one first so I’m going back to read/listen to the others in the pleasure/prey series immediately. The voice actor chosen for this book in particular is amazing! She reads for both parts but I really felt like it was 2 different people.
