About this listen

From the author of TikTok's favourite dark and steamy romance, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen's second book in the New York Times bestselling Into Darkness trilogy

I want this woman, and I'm a man who always gets what he wants.

Nico 'Junior' Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. Men like him don't get to have women like her. It's why he pushed her away in high school and still keeps his distance. But Junior follows Lauren online, and now that the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone, he can't stop obsessing over the strikingly beautiful woman who has taken her place.

He's ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.

Lauren 'Lo' Marchetti knows Junior is dangerous. He broke her heart once and she won't let him do it again. But as their flirtatious encounters escalate, Lauren starts to remember why she fell for the brooding antihero all those years ago.

As old obstacles resurface, Junior and Lauren are forced to face their true feelings for each other and decide just how far they're willing to go for a second chance at love.

Caught Up is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to listeners. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

18+ mature content. Not suitable for younger listeners.

Very good

It’s definitely a very good book to listen to. I feel like it was very PG on the stalking and claiming aspects.
Besides that it was very good .

The raw honesty with relationships

Not as funny as Caught up but still worth it! Now waiting for Tyler’s story please.

Great series

Love these books. Only criticism was that the mob side of things wasn’t featured much to go with their back story. Still a great listen!

Steamy in more ways than you think

This was the perfect follow on to Lights out. The story and the link back to Josh and Ally were perfect.

But what I loved was that Nik and Lauren were their own people and they brought their own feel to this book. The passion, love and general acceptance was stunning!!! And so freakin well written. Nik was not goofy and funny like Josh, so the humour wasn’t as present but the devotion and heart was!!!

This was also SUPER steamy and spicy, so be prepared.

Hello communication!!! I never thought open communication, apologies and grovelling could actually be this hot… they were!

I loved it! My only feedback the performances were awesome, but I would’ve loved to have reprised voices for Josh and ally, I’m enjoying having audios that build on the series like this have a bigger cast and grow with each book. That would’ve been next level.

Another amazing book!

fantastic book! was instantly drawn into the story.
Lo and Junior actually communicated! no unnecessary drama (most of the time) but even when she initially thought something she would rethink it with logic. The spice was 🔥 but didn't overshadow the story, it was a great balance!
the epilogue got me thinking there will be a 3rd book 🤔

After falling head over heels for the hilarious couple in Lights Out (book 1 in the Into the Darkness series), I was seriously counting down the days for this one. I listened to the audiobook—flawlessly narrated by Kasi Hollowell and Teddy Hamilton—while also reading and highlighting the ebook.
Navessa always delivers when it comes to quotes. The banter? On point. The punchy one-liners? Had me blushing and grinning like a fool. This book leans more into the slow burn, giving us a deeper dive into the couple’s backstory.

I don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t binged it yet, but just know… it’s worth the wait and absolutely worth the read/listen and you’ll love the side characters too!

Tropes:
Morally grey biker MMC
Mafia
Adult only club
S^* worker positivity
High school lovers
He’s her biggest fan
Secret identity
