X's and O's

By: Elle Thorpe

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro Foster, Sean Crisden, Gregory Salinas, Theo Sinclair

One minute I’m cleaning toilets for minimum wage.

The next, I’m waking up from a drug-induced nap with a monster staring down at me.

Kidnapped and seconds from death, I think I’m done for.

Until masked men burst in, murder my attacker, and turn my world upside down.

They call themselves Murder Squad.

A secret brotherhood of broken men who only kill the worst of the worst.

And one of them thinks I’m his wife.

X is unhinged, obsessed, and deadly. A psychopath who hides behind bad jokes and bloodstained fingers.

Whip’s older, grumpy, and used to women paying him to worship them. But when he finds out I’m a virgin, he can’t keep his hands off my plus-size curves.

And Levi? One year of handwritten letters was all it took to fall in love with a man I’d never met. My prison pen pal turned killer, fighting his darkness for a second chance.

But they aren’t the only psychopaths in Saint View.

Someone’s playing a twisted game, leaving rhyming threats and promising to end us all if we don’t stop them first.

With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Until there’s only one thing we know for sure.

There’s a killer out there.

And this time, he’s hunting us.

X’s and O’s is a dark rom com. It’s an adult, why choose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. You can expect a plus size, tall heroine, psycho heroes, a murder mystery, and a spicy club. This book contains romantic suspense and triggering themes. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

I mean this with the UTMOST respect....

...but DAAAAYMN! That was one serious DOUCHE CANOE of a cliff hanger you just b1tch slapped me with girl!!!
I might have called you an a$$hole when it happened...but only because I was LITERALLY sitting on the edge of my seat, 100% FULLY FREAKING INVESTED in the story!!
It was seriously like getting slapped with a cold fish.
I had to blink a couple of times, just to make certain you were reeeally being serious and cutting it off RIGHT THERE....!!!!!😂 😂 😂
Well Done You Ms. Thorpe. You had me by the neck and I was there for it.
An outstandingly exceptional jib

Could not finish this audio book due to the female voice actor!!

Unfortunately, I am unable to rate the actual story of this book.Because I could not stand the female voice actor to even get beyond twenty five percent.. it's like every one of her words ended with an a.. like some kind of annoying valley girl or something..ugh.
I have listened to a lot of audio books and this is actually the first one that I could not finish..
The male narrators were okay.. Did the author really want her to narrate this way?

Hilarious and Spicy!!!!

Awesome book! It's hilarious and spicy and so so good. I laughed so hard multiple times, but the cliffhanger is kicking me. I am immediately starting Whips and Chains!
