Shane

Damage Control, Book 4

By: Jo Raven

Narrated by: Samantha Cook, Todd Howard

Once upon a time, my life was good.

I had a family, I had a girlfriend, and hopes for the future. That was long ago, but I remember it. A hazy dream of what could have been. That's gone now. I lost it all. Life f--ked me over, and now I'm scared of my own damn shadow.

I'm training to be a tattoo artist, but I bet I'm not good enough. I have a roof over my head, but every morning I'm scared shitless that I'll find myself on the street again—or worse, back in prison.

And every time a pretty girl looks at me, every single f--king time, I know I can't be with her. Not only because she'll find out I'm an ex-con and run the other way, no. It's more than that. I just can't. The thought of anyone touching me, the thought of getting aroused from that touch brings back every damn nightmare from my past to swallow me whole.

Can't f--king do it. Not even if it's the prettiest girl on earth—Cassie. With her long blond hair and her pretty tits, her short skirts and high heels, she's all my fantasies rolled into one. See, the fact she kissed one of my buddies? That's good. The fact she looks at me like I'm a bug under her shoe? Even better. Because it means she's not interested in getting hot and sweaty with me and that I can keep living that fantasy. The fantasy that she wants to be with me as much as I want to be with her—even though I know it will never happen.

Impactful

Great story and truly gripping. It was heartbreaking but the camaraderie of these boys and their inner circle is something special.

I Loved Shane ❤️

Omgoodness where do I start without giving too much away! Warning this book has triggers.

Love Shane!

This fourth audiobook in Jo Raven’s Damage Control series was just great listening. Be forewarned that if you have any issues with triggers such as rape, you shouldn’t listen to this book. The hero, Shane, has intimacy issues and frequent PTSD flashbacks from what happened to him while he was falsely imprisoned. The heroine, Cassie, has loved him for a long time and won’t give up on him. What neither of them knew is that there is something going on behind the scenes that is making things worse for him. The story has a great ending and the narration was very well done. Jo Raven just keeps writing better books with each one she writes!

I actually cried

I'm not a heartless person or anything but my goodness this book seriously got to me. I've listened to the Inked Brotherhood and Damaged boys all the way up to Shane and I have to say, Shane and Cassie are by far my favorite couple. They are very similar to Zane and Dakota whom I also adore but something about Shane and Cassie just tore at my heart. The narration and story were perfection and I felt like I was so involved in the story. I always liked Cassie despite mistakes she made. She more than proved herself in this book!
