Book Description
"How can we make that happen for you?"
After the unexpected death of my abusive husband, I did the only reasonable thing someone could possibly do when one was utterly broken and looking for direction.
I moved across the country and started over.
It worked in my favor, thankfully. I had a roof over my head, food on the table, and I was slowly starting to accept the fact that I would never be the same girl—the girl who thought romance and intimacy should be nothing but sunshine and fairy tales—again.
That version of Rory Vale died with him.
Instead, I was a girl who desired a unique sense of darkness. A girl who not only wanted to be chased and adored, but also hunted and owned.
The only hangup?
I had found two men who wanted to give me everything I could ever desire. Two Navy SEALs who knew exactly how to give me what I needed. But if I said yes to them—to us—then I would belong to them forevermore.
Because while they wanted a third, they also wanted… a family.
And shockingly, I think I wanted that too.
About C.S. Silverne
C. S. Silverne is a twenty-something year old author who spends a lot of her time hiding behind a computer as the true introvert she is—between writing words, designing pretty pictures, reading her kindle, or blaring the latest rock music release—it’s guaranteed she’s trying to ignore the world in some emo fashion.
Even in her dark/forbidden and occasionally taboo writing styles… she takes light of her pseudonym, always finding love in the silver linings of the world. Because, as we all know, sometimes—love chooses us in the strangest, cruelest of ways, and the stories of the forbidden deserved to be told.
My Thoughts
Preyless, written by C.S. Silverne and brought to life through dual narration by Marina Craven and Ash Beverly, is a remarkably quick and engaging listen. As a self-proclaimed book goblin who devours stories and rarely rates anything below five stars, this particular audiobook did give me pause, though it still ultimately earned a solid four stars. While the plot is captivating, I found myself connecting much faster to the female protagonist than to the male characters, which occasionally left me feeling a bit lost in the narrative.
That disconnect was slightly amplified by the audio production. I deeply appreciate the immense hard work that voice actors do, but during the female-narrated chapters, I found it difficult to distinguish between the characters' voices.
Despite those minor hurdles, the underlying story is incredibly compelling. It follows Rory Vale, who moves across the country to start over after the unexpected death of her abusive husband. In rebuilding her life, Rory accepts that she is no longer the girl who believes in fairy-tale romance; instead, she discovers a desire to be chased, hunted, and owned. This leads her to two Navy SEALs who are ready to offer her the exact brand of dark devotion she craves, provided she is ready to commit to them—and the family they want to build—forever.
Ultimately, the sheer amount of work and passion poured into bringing Rory’s journey to life makes it well worth the listen, delivering a romance that is as intense as it is transformative.
