AUDIO BOOK REVIEW 1 ( THIS IS A LONG ONE LOL BUT SO ARE MANY OF MY BLOGS)

I have been into audiobooks a lot lately, and I thought maybe I would review some of them. The irony of this is some of the books I will be reviewing are in the romance book category. That is a style of book I used to avoid a lot when I was younger. One series of books drug me into this style of audiobooks. I think I may have mentioned that series before. The book I am going to review is one in the romance category, but it is not what most would see as romantic.
It is called: Reverse Harem Romance) - J.L. Beck, C. Hallman. It will not be to everyone's liking. There is violence, sex, adventure, betrayal and love. It starts out with 3 military trained men infiltrating the home of the man that killed their family and violated their sister (it was never made clear why their family was killed). They were out for revenge, and they wanted to search their enemy's house while he was at an event. There was not supposed to be anyone home. They were surprised to find the man's daughter home. She saw their faces, so it was either take her with them, or kill her. They tied her, gagged her and took her with them, against the protests of the oldest brother. They were not nice to her at first, and they made a video of the abuse to send to her father. To their surprise, he did not respond. They had all his communications monitored. They made another video of them abusing his daughter a bit more graphic. It went unanswered, but this time they got a conversation of him with his head of security confirming his orders to kill them all, even his own daughter.
Two of them realize this will not work, but the oldest one decides to make one more video and send it to her father. His brothers were furious with him. They were realizing she was a victim. After the third video, she gets ill, and with much arguing between the brothers, they take her to the hospital under a fake name. The oldest brother stays with her the whole time while his brothers keep a look-out. The next day, when she woke up and her fever broke, he told her to tell the doctor she wants to leave. When she asked and what if I don't, he tells her he will slit the doctor's throat and carry her out. He tells her if she does not do as he says, she will be responsible for the doctors' death. She does as she is told, but they do not escape fast enough, her father's men find them. While shooting their way out, the oldest brother drags the girl away. Once out of reach of the gun fire, he gives her instructions were to go and hide and wait for him. She has second thoughts about obeying him, that minute of indecisiveness allows her father's security to find her. They are about to shoot her when the oldest brother tackles them, and one of them drops his gun. The oldest brother tells the girl to run. The man shoots him in and is about to finish up, the girl gets the gun and shoots the attacker's head off. They get away, and the brothers are both mad at her for not following orders, and getting the oldest brother shot and that she would think of leaving them they were protecting her NOW.
After some pain and some sex, the older brother tells them he will not kill her, he now agrees with his brothers they will keep her. To which one brother quits : Welcome to the team. We made t shirts. I could not help but laugh at that. The girl is all in on helping them. She told the older brother no one had ever cared for her the way he and his brothers did, and that she loved them. Realizing her father wanted her dead, made her want him dead, so when the brothers told her they would kill him, she was fine with that. After more fighting, they manage to get her father. It was then they find out he was not her real father. Her mother had cheated on him for years, but he did not know she was not his daughter till much later. Her father goes to his grave without telling where their drive they were looking for is. The 4 of them left the country to avoid prosecution for all the people they killed. The settled somewhere that allowed more than one person married to the same person at the same time, and she married all 3 brothers.
Months later, a package came to her from the head of her father's security that helped them get her father and saved the girls' life. The letter inside said he was still looking for her real father, that he thinks he is still alive. And there was another smaller box with the letter. Inside was the drive they had been looking for when they broke into her father's house the night they abducted her. After all that killing and pain, the book ended on a high note. If you do not like sex and violence and murder and bad language, this is NOT the book for you. But if you do, it is a fantastic story.
