Bishop

She was broken by the hands of my own father.

I can’t hide in the shadows anymore, watching her from a safe distance.
It’s time to show her all my plays.

Kiara Coleman has the answers I need, and if I have to drag her back into my dark world to get them, I will.

Once she’s there I’ll do everything I can to put her broken pieces back together again and keep her in her rightful place by my side.

Kiara

I escaped my living hell three years ago.
I’ve learned to mask the pain and hide from the nightmares that taunt me.

I won a scholarship that will change my life, I should be happy about being here. A fresh start.

Except this fresh start puts me right into the path of him.
Bishop Murdoch, the son of the monster I’ve spent the last three years trying to outrun.

Amazing

Just like the book the audio is amazing. It had me giggling like a school girl the whole time

Spicy

This whole series is amazing! Not for the faintest of hearts but with that being said, it’s real!!! It has everything from humour, to spicy romance to action and suspense. Bravo to the author for a job well done!

Oddly exciting, different. More backstory needed at beginning, then later give the twist.

somewhat original, slow beginning, then exciting, crazy male pov ideas of love ending. my pov so wrong, it's like someone else wrote ending 😭

awesome plot

this is a new author to me and her style is great pre ordered the next book worth the credit

I Liked The Players and The Game

"Played By The Bishop" is a fairly good start to what looks like a great series by Samantha Barrett. With experienced performers like Elena Wolfe and Teddy Hamilton she couldn't go wrong...what would have made it more awesome is if this title had been performed in duet style. There were obvious plot holes: Kiara (with the unique name that she never changed) is able to "disappear" for a while despite no money or connections and both Bishop and her father - who have all the money and connections at their finger tips - couldn't find her. And also: Bishop owns the university but didn't know Kiara's father (a head mafioso himself) was a professor there? And why bother to have Carlina kidnapped as a means to have Kiara returned to him? All he had to do was ask her to visit him after class then take her there....see? Plot holes. And as much as I enjoyed the performance...I found some of the sex talk cringe-worthy - like some cheesy porno...lol.. The cliffhanger at the end into King's book definitely intrigues me!

3.5 starz - worthy of a repeat listen
