I am OBSESSED with a man who grovels and woman who knows her worth! There is stalking, cam work, private clubs, a man who knows when to get on his knees, the hottest spice (a scene in a confessional), and a handy-dandy taser… and yes it does come to play.

I’ve said it a million times, but anything Teddy Hamilton narrates, I will listen to!!! The audiobook was a masterpiece of a dual narration! Both characters were voiced to perfection and they really brought the story to life. I felt the anger, humor, lust, and heartbreak Lauren and Nico felt, both Teddy and Kasi personified Navessa’s characters wonderfully in my opinion.

Like Lights Out, this book is a dark romance, but Caught Up had a little less of a comedic twist and rather a more emotionally charged feeling. I loved the vulnerability and real talk of kink and the stigma behind sex work. Lauren is a bad bitch with a “take no shit” personality and I adored her character and Nico being the heir to the mob but wanting to get out gave a new perspective into this type of story.

If you enjoy a good redemption arc, a second chance romance, and two people with a lot of baggage coming together to get the happy ending they deserve, I would highly recommend you give Caught Up a read (or a listen if you want the juicy bits in surround sound)!!

I was pleasantly surprised, considering I dnf’d Lights out. It was a lot easier to get into, and the romance was a lot more my style.
