Sometimes, love comes with a price...

The past is always gonna try and bring you down, but you gotta fight. Fight hard for what you love. Fight to win is what 22-year-old Dominick Anderson believes, but his life is a struggle. Growing up with an abusive father has made Dominick slow to love and trust, and he relies on his brother Kevin to keep him on a straight path.

Dominick fights his demons every day, every night. Now a sophomore at the University of Washington and working a steady job at a mechanic's shop, Dominick wants to create a better life and find the future his father never wanted him to have.

Dominick suppresses his identity and feelings until he meets Denise Ramsey. Smart, stunningly gorgeous, and sharing his love for motorcycles, Denise is everything Dominick longs for in a girl but knows he can never have. When a past love threatens her life and brings out Dominick's suppressed dark side, he must decide if she's worth the risk.

Young love

I enjoyed this book. It was my first Marie Long book and I loved it . The narrator did a great job as well . It’s a nice story about the power of young love.

Basic

Basic college story. The narration was difficult to hear, which made it hard to finish.

Sacarred by Marie Long

The Anderson Brothers book 1. New adult contemporary romance.
Bars, nightclubs, tshirts with logos and on-night hookups. Angsty male voice written in present tense. Crude. Lots of references to T&A.

Narrated by Levar Ross who had a rough, flat dialog. Mid East coast. Not really pleasant to listen to but definitely representative of the male characters.

Neither new adult nor male 20ish perspective are in my line of preferences.
I read this as part of a reading challenge. I doubt I would read the author again if it fits these two categories.

Dominic and Denise

Marie Long has created characters that are interesting, and a storyline that is a bit scattered, but interesting. I really liked Dominic and his old fashioned ways. I felt some areas of the story could have been more streamlined and cohesive, but the just of the story was good.

Levar Ross did well with the narration.

it was ok

it could have been better it took a while to list to it because it seem like something was missing.
