Loren

Van Doren, Book 1

By: Crea Reitan

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo, Joshua Macrae

I will kill to keep him.

Oakley

It's a new start—brand new school in a completely different state. For the first time, I now have the freedom to be unapologetically me. But as my luck would have it, I have shit taste in men. The first man to pay me a compliment has so many red flags, that I think I'm in a storm. Life can't get any worse… until he turns into a stalker.

Then my stalker ends up brutally murdered, I walk blindly into a serial killer's nest, and I catch the attention of a sociopath.

Loren

The moment I see Oakley walk into the cafe, I know he's mine. I may be here to finish a job, but it's impossible to concentrate on anything but him. My fascination quickly turns into an obsession, which might be fortunate for him because I think he's trying to get himself killed.

Which is fine; I'll protect him. It doesn't matter how many lives I have to end to make Oakley mine.

want more!!!

absolutely loved this story! right amount of steamy to get you over the edge! look forward to more from this author. keep doing it!!!

Dark and Hot!

Loren is everything I was hoping for when he was introduced in a previous book. It is a hot read for anyone who loves a Dark and depraved man. This MM book is dirty and full of love between the sweet shy guy and the ASPD (physiotherapy).

Amazing All the Way Around!

I loved reading the story and was ecstatic to hear the audio. Way worth it. Narration was on point.

Soooo good

I really wish there were more to say. It’s just so good. Meeting Loren with Noah and then knowing what he did for Oren makes you feel kind of grateful but weary. But this was such a BEAUTIFUL ride. Seeing him struggle but work so hard to learn and then actually experiencing him learning and adopting everything he needs to be the best he can be for Oakley… yeah. These sweet babies are going to stay with me and be visited often. Definitely made its way up to a favorite!

Great Intro 2 The Van Dorens!

Who doesn't love a serial killer sociopath that only loves and adores you? I thought this was a great intro to the Van Dorens performed brilliantly by Niick J. Russo (a personal favorite) and Joshua Macrea - who is new to me but I grew to love his soft delivery performance in Loren's voice. You can tell the Van Dorens are a unique family that love (in the ways that they can) one another and respect each others differences....I am interested to see where this series goes!

4 Starz - worthy of a repeat listen; worthy of continuing the series
