Killer Temptation

I’ll admit, I went into *Killer Temptation* expecting a standard ‘billionaire protects damsel’ trope, but Flynn subverts it by making Sylvie the one with the power—until her secret blogging life puts her in the crosshairs. The stalker plotline isn’t just a device; it’s genuinely unsettling, with digital threats that feel ripped from today’s headlines (ever gotten a DM that made your skin crawl? Yeah, Sylvie’s living that). Griffin’s performance sells it: her voice tightens during the creepier moments, making the listener’s pulse spike right alongside Sylvie’s. I especially loved how she differentiates the troll’s messages—cold, robotic, *wrong*—from the rest of the narration. That said, the romance’s mid-act drags slightly. The back-and-forth between Sylvie and her love interest (a former military guy with a soft spot for her sass) sometimes leans too hard on ‘I can’t want you but I *do*’ dialogue. And while the suspense is well-executed, the final confrontation wraps up a tad neatly for my taste—though Griffin’s delivery in that scene is so electric, I almost didn’t care. What *does* work flawlessly? The fashion-world details (Flynn clearly did her research) and the way Sylvie’s blogging voice seeps into her internal monologue, giving her a distinct, snarky charm. If you’re craving a romance with bite—where the heroine’s smarts are as vital as the hero’s muscles—this audiobook delivers, especially on a long commute where you’ll welcome the distraction from your own mundane stalkers (aka, rush-hour traffic).
