Chokehold is a MF short spicy story by Addie Renee and is the first in a series listed as "Erotic One Night Stands". I listened to the Duet Narration audiobook, narrated by Lauren Beck and Atlas Quinn. This is a focuses on the 2 primary characters, Damien and Lyla, how they met, the progression of their one night, and what happened afterwards. The chapters switch between points of view to give the reader the full picture of both characters perspective on the encounter. It is VERY spicy, and absolutely amazing.
The story story begins in present day, then goes backwards in time, to when and how Lyla was convinced to attend an event at a spicy club which happens to be owned by Damien. The reader is given a small amount of background on both of the characters, but the story does seem to mostly focus on Lylas perspective and their first encounter. It is a fast-paced novella and contains a high amount of spice, but also enough story that it leaves the reader wanting more.
The duet style narration in this audiobook was so freaking good! The chemistry between the 2 narrators was *chefs kiss* and the listener can really feel a connection between the characters as a result. I found myself both eager and highly disappointed to finish the story as I immediately wanted more of this pair. The narrators did beautifully with conveying not only the emotions of the scenes, but the tones and it truly felt like they were able to channel the characters.
Overall, this novella made me desperate for more, not just of these characters, but by this author. It contains very mature content, so listeners and readers should be 18+. Please check the triggers prior to listening as it does certain aspects that some might find triggering, however consent is highly emphasized throughout the story, which I appreciated. I look forward to seeing more from this author and am excited to listen to the rest of the series when it's available.
I received a free listeners copy of this audiobook thanks to the DNABC Street Team on Facebook and the author, Addie Renee, in exchange for my fair and honest review.
