I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.
'Til Death Volume 1 was a fast, sexy, fun read. From the get-go you know exactly what's going to happen in the overarching story. For one, we start off with a pissed off Katia and for two, it's a story that's been told in many variations. Doesn't make it any less fun though!
These characters are fun to read - Katia is your sweet, caring, way too good for this douche kind of girl. Her mother is very ill and Katia has pretty much sacrificed everything to care for her. And the poor thing had the misfortune to fall in love with Marcus - a man who has no intention of loving anyone EVER. His business is all that matters to him. He's your stereotypical douche with two things going for him - (1) He's amazing in the sack (which comes with amazing good looks) and (2) He's filthy rich. Not exactly the resume for the perfect husband. To be honest, I like him - but in the your "douche with potential" kind of way. Not in the "I'd marry you" way. No way in hell!
Katia would marry him though and this is told in alternating time lines - partly as they march towards the altar and partly after they're already married. Both bits are steamy, though as far as erotica goes, it's erotica light IMO. More story than sex, just the way I like it :)
I was lucky enough to get this for review in audio and I really enjoyed both Roger Wayne and Lidia Dornet's narration. The story is told in alternating points of view - Marcus and Katia's- with the narrators changing accordingly. Lidia's narration would get a bit high pitched, but that's really my only complaint. And Roger's narration was deep and seductive, perfect for Marcus.
Thankfully I also received volume 2 for review and I'm digging into that immediately because this ended on a bit of a cliff!
