Heart of Darkness

A Bad Boy Romance Novel

By: Gabi Moore

Narrated by: Billy Harrison, Nikki Hampstead

Ex-military Zack Hunter has done things.

Bad things.

But he's determined to serve out his full sentence at Blantyre Correctional Facility, do the time and clear his conscience.

Nobody has ever cared about Zack's dark past before - until now, that is.

Madeleine Bright is a timid veterinary surgeon with a soft spot for sick animals and an ex-boyfriend from hell. When she signs up for a prison dating site out of curiosity, she has no idea just how much her life is about to change.

Maddy and Zack's connection is instant and electric, and they soon find themselves taking one another to exciting, shadowy places neither of them have ever explored before.

But when Zack's past threatens to catch up with them, he has to make a difficult decision: can he open his heart to Maddy completely, no matter how dark that heart is?

Overcoming The Darkness

I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review!
WOW THIS IS SO INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL.....Hot, Raw, Sexy, Heartbreaking and so very real. So many people suffer from PTSD and abuse. Gabi really did her research and I could really understand the pain Zack and Maddy felt. They needed to fall apart so they could heal and come together. Such a powerful story!

Great Story

If you could sum up Heart of Darkness in three words, what would they be?

Gripping, dark, heart-wrenching

Who was your favorite character and why?

Madeleine is so timid and lets herself be walked on by everyone, including an abusive ex. When she finally starts to stand up for herself and realizes what she wants and needs from a relationship, she's such a strong person - even to the point of being exactly what Zack needs without letting go of herself.

Have you listened to any of Billy Harrison and Nikki Hampstead ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think the narrators are new to me, but they did so well with this one. The voices were perfect for these characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

At the edge of the darkness, lies hope.

Any additional comments?

Heart of Darkness grabbed me from the very beginning and didn't let go. I don't want to give spoilers, so I'll just say that I felt as though I was taken on a journey with both Maddy and Zack and what an incredible journey it was. Kudos to Gabi Moore for tackling not one, but two prevalent topics in this wonderful tale - PTSD and domestic violence. Watching these characters develop was a true joy.

Good read.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. If you like dark, dirty and explicit.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that they were both able to move past their fears.

What about Billy Harrison and Nikki Hampstead ’s performance did you like?

Their reading was clean and expressive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't laugh or cry. I got angry a few times.

Any additional comments?

This book is filled with dark, dirty, and explicit. It's also filled with a budding love story and offers insight into life after war.

Great story!

This was a good book that was a bit dark. Zach was a damaged and with Maddie's kindness and understanding the pair come to find love. Maddie is as equally damaged but learns to find her inner strength. I thought the characters were well written and realistic. The plot moved along well and I enjoyed this book from start to finish. The liked the narration of this story through the two different narrators telling the story from both Zach and Maddie's POV.
