About this listen

"What's a safe call?"

Hope Pendleton is a prude – a straight, by-the-book investigative reporter. Then her best friend, Callie, goes on a date and doesn't come back.

Gone. Totally off the grid.

Hope's instincts kick in. The only clue is her friend's alternative lifestyle, and Hope finds herself faced with uncomfortable choices. Partnering with the stand-offish but enigmatic FBI agent investigating her friend's disappearance, Hope retraces Callie's path, following her trail through the underbelly of the Nashville BDSM scene.

The scene in Nashville, though, isn't just a bunch of consenting adults playing sex games. Before Hope realizes it, she has gone from investigative reporter … to bait.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, P. Rose is a gift author, she created a great story here, a thrilling romantic suspense, with a side of BDSM, mystery along with some investigative elements too. The story grabbed my attention right from start and held it right to the end. The characters are complex and well developed. Hope Pendleton’s friend Callie enjoys her kink and alternative lifestyle, Hope is not into that lifestyle but when Callie goes out to play she is supposed to call Hope to let her know she is OK. When she misses her check in she knows something is not right when she finally gets in touch with her Callie drops her safe word to let her know something is wrong. Hope, an investigative reporter reports it immediately to the police. When an FBI agent reaches out to her she knows how much danger her friend is in, she teams up with him to get her friend back. Going undercover is not new to Hope but the world of BSDM is and it is way out of her comfort zone but she is willing to do it to save her friend. Eric has been working on this case and is close to getting all involved, he plays an alpha Dom and he is going to teach her ropes so she can join him and infiltrate an exclusive BDSM club, where he is a Dom. I loved how well plotted this book it, there is never a dull moment and the author keeps you thinking and on your toes all the way to the climatic ending. P. Rose thank you for this great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Stephanie Murphy and Paul Brion are terrific narrators and voice artists. They bring the characters to life giving each their own voice and personality. They do a great job portraying the characters and projecting their emotions into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Reviewed for AudioBook ObsessionHope and Eric come together by somewhat somewhat forced issues aka Hope’s stubborn need to know what has happened to her missing friend.
Eric is an FBI agent and Hope is a journalist. Hopes friend went missing after going to meet someone from the internet who like her was into the BDSM culture. Eric happens to be investigating a really sadistic person and would rather Hope or any other female be nowhere near this manor his cohorts, but she is so determined he would rather know where she is so he can protect her than be clueless to where she is.
The odd couple start to investigate together and their relationship becomes more than just business the deeper and longer they go.
Will they find the friend in time? What secrets will they uncover?
Really well developed characters and plot. Good twists and turns i enjoyed the story and narration

Great storyline, fab chemistry

This is the first book that I have listened to or read by this author but can definitely say that I hope it is not the last. This is completely different to the genres I usually read but went into the book open minded. I think that the BDSM submissive element may put some readers off but I am encouraging all to give this book a chance. Yes BDSM is a main element but there is an amazing story surrounding it and that's what makes the difference to me . The book is full of suspense and mystery and is a strong story . It is very apparent that the author has done their research into the BDSM culture and this is shown throughout their work. I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

A book that is full of suspense

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is not my usual genre but it had me hooked from the start my only peeve was the way the main male lead treated the female but as it fit in with the theme of the story I suppose it’s to be expected.
Stephanie Murphy and Paul Brion do an excellent job narrating.

Really enjoyed it

Hopeless was my first book penned by Patricia Rose. I liked the concept of the story, it was well thought out and suspenseful. I liked the writing style. I'm not sure I fully liked the H though. I didn't like how Eric treated Hope. For the bigger part of the story he didn't think about her as a person but rather an object, merely a means to an end. His character was flawed and not somebody I'd call a perfect dom, but I warmed up to him by the end. Hope was infinitely brave and willing to sacrifice everything for her friend. Even teaming up with an infuriating agent who seemingly found joy in constantly keeping her on her toes while riding on his high horse.
This book was definitely one of those where I'd have loved an epilogue, looking a few months or years in the future. The author's note at the end was thought-provoking.

The narration was very good. Both narrators did a very good job. Their performance was absolutely enjoyable. I liked how both Stephanie Murphy and Paul Brion portrayed the different characters.
The quality of the recording could have been a tad better. I'm using earphones and a bit of static was audible throughout.

Suspenseful

Great audiobook and fantastic narration.
This is a different kind of story and I really appreciated that. It’s written well with lots of emotion. Narration makes the story that much better for the performance. Nicely done and well worth the listen!

Lived this book!
