Unshackle by Pam Godwin

5.0

Dark and gritty, Pam Godwin gives us book 7 in her Deliver series. Unshackle has all the elements I love in dark romance. Luke, the alpha male is going undercover to find Tula's sister, Vera. Little does he know exactly what he is going to find! Broken himself, it's not an easy task, and upon meeting Gina, he has met his match. Gina is an incredible heroine. With what she has gone through, she proves that hope is never lost. The twists and turns kept me on the edge, and the undeniable chemistry between Luke and Gina is hot! Godwin has gave me hours of excitement and suspense, passion and surprises. You will be wondering just how Luke will get Vera out and keep them both alive! I loved it and hope to see what else Godwin has in store for us in her next book.

Narration for dark romance is key. You need believable narrators and the casting of J Tipstone and Lacy Laurel is perfect. It's my first listen by Tipstone, and his voice is meant to read dark romance. He has a grittiness and tone that fits Luke. Laurel proves her talent coming in with attitude as Gina and showing just how strong, yet slightly vulnerable she is. This team knocked it out of the park and gave me a fantastic listen.
