SWORN by Maria Luis
A Dark Age Gap Romance
Blood Duet Book 1
Release Date: July 1, 2024

Tattooed on my skin are the words, “Bow to no man.”

I live by them.
Die by them.

I’ve been on the run since my mother was killed right in front of me, hiding in the gritty underbelly of New Orleans. After a lifetime of being alone, the only thing I crave is revenge.

But I never anticipated Lincoln Asher.

From the moment we meet under a starless night sky, Lincoln looks at me like I’m already his.

He’s scarred and hard all over, but hot as sin when he holds my gaze.

I don’t trust anyone, least of all him.

He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I just know it, but that doesn’t lessen the temptation of surrender.

I bow to no man, save one.
And he will be my downfall…

 

Sworn is a dark age gap romance featuring morally grey characters, unhinged villains, and enough spice to light your kindle on fire. Lincoln and Avery’s story concludes in Defied, releasing in audio early August 2024.

🎧🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧🎧

I’m not quite sure if this is a good or bad thing yet, but my mind was working overtime the entire time I was listening to this audiobook. I couldn’t quite get a grip on the story at any point. Make sense? I felt like I was always missing something. So far, I’m not counting that as a bad or good thing because this is not the whole story. This is a duet and as far as the author building the story and keeping me guessing (as she should in a duet) she nailed it and then some! Maria Luis is a new-to-me author with SWORN so I don’t know her style or voice just yet, but I can tell you with 100% certainty, that I will know it by the end of the year!

SWORN had me on the edge from the very beginning. I love being on the edge of a story. It was sexy and dangerous and carried a pulse with every scene. The chemistry between Avery & Lincoln began from act one scene one and built on every page. They pulled as much as they pushed and to be honest, so this the story. The entire thing was one like a rubber band being stretched to it’s limit oh so slowly until …

🎧 I listened to this story and I just cannot even describe what an incredible job Stella Hunter & JF Harding did with their performances. A duet narration is no easy feat and these two put on a performance that was flawless. I have no idea if they narrated in one studio or separate, and I can tell you that not being able to notice that is high praise in my opinion. The story came alive in living color for me and I felt every moment of it!

I’m honestly not sure how long I’m going to be able to go without grabbing DEFIED and devouring every word! I’d like to say I could wait until it is available in audiobook so I can experience the duet all in the same manner, but I can’t find a single post about its pending release date so far and we all know how patient I can be LOL and don’t want to loose the momentum I have right now about this story so …

Well done all around and, well played on that ending. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
