Oh, hello cliffhanger. I guess I have to read the next book to complete the story. 
 About this book.... Well, how do ,you feel about situations that just don't happen? I think this book can only be appreciated if you can completely suspend reality and rationale. 
 Off the top of my head, some examples are: 
 Virgin sex with multiple orgasms. Brighton fell right into a forced bdsm sex life pretty effortlessly for a virgin with no sexual experience at all. Even more so for someone who was blackmailed and forced into it. 
 Violent, rough anal pounding with no lube and she's totally fine after. And this is only, her second time with anal so she certainly wasn't used to that. Come on, she would have bled after that scene. 
 Brighton sleeps like the dead. Ryland manages to sneak in and undress her, even cutting her clothes off while she remains asleep. He sneaks in and removes her bindings while she's asleep. He blindfolds her while she sleeps. How fucking hard does this chick sleep? She clearly goes into a mini coma when she sleeps. 
 Then there is Brayden's experience in jail. The way everyone wants to attack him for his crimes (which, let's be honest, although what he was convicted of is pretty shitty, in the grand scheme of things, it's really not all that bad when you consider things many of the other people in prison are there for) is way over the top. I mean it's like fight club meets Spartacus for poor Brayden in jail. If he was really attacked that badly, that frequently, he would be moved to PC or transferred. 
 Plus there is the whole billionaire thing and Ryland having ridiculous amount of influence over the press and over the legal system. 
 And of course I can't leave out how well orchestrated Ryland's plans were. I never got the impression that he was an exceptionally intelligent man so how he masterminded chain reaction events is beyond me. 
 Oh, and I don't know about you, but if I'm absolutely livid at someone or devastated by something they said or did, a kiss and their hand between my legs is not going to make me melt into them or give me mind shattering orgasms. There is a point where you are so disgusted with someone that you will not be aroused at that time. Just saying. 
 If you can get past all of that and chock it up to a good fiction story, the book was well written. It was interesting, enthralling and even though I was constantly calling bullshit on something, I was entertained and enjoyed the book. 
 All and all, I'm giving Echo 3 stars. I'm going to start book 2 right now so I can find out how this story ends. 
 Audible: I added the whispersync audible narration to this Kindle book. The narrator did a good job. She was clear and easy to understand. Her pacing was perfect and pronunciation was good.
