About this audiobook

Mia Monroe is running. Running from a person she doesn't ever want to find her. Running from a past she doesn't ever want anyone to know. Desperate to find a future that yesterday she could only dream of having.

Jordan Matthews likes easy. Easy women. Easy life.

Then he meets Mia.

She's damaged, troubled, and has more baggage than any person can carry. But the more Jordan gets to know Mia-for the first time in his life-he finds himself wanting to try hard for something, for someone . . . for her.

And then life isn't so easy anymore.

Jordan is everything Mia shouldn't want. A tattooed, cocky bad boy who made his money at poker tables and picked his women up in bars. Yet Mia finds herself falling for him. Then the past Mia was running from quickly starts to catch up with her. Because that's the problem with running . . . you have to stop sometime.

And when you stop, you get caught.

    Trouble has massive triggers and hits some really difficult subjects.

    Mia goes from one abuser to another and struggles to get out of the environment she's in until she's finally pushed too far and sets out to look for her mother who signed her over to her father so many years ago. Along her way she meets Jordan, the playboy who doesn't see himself settling down and has had one too many run in's with trouble.

    Mia stumbles into Jordan's hotel and suddenly has to get used to this new way of life. She's determined to find her mother and Jordan's determined to help, along with a four-legged friend. Jordan tries to help Mia heal but Jordan can only help so much until Mia needs to try and help herself.

    There's steam, action, and drama but I needed more of an issue with Mia finding her mother. It seemed to be a let down what the end result was, especially with Mia having no relatives to discuss it with. When Mia was going through some difficult times in the end I really struggled to find how she was carrying out her problem realistic - probably because it was never mentioned at the start. However, I still enjoyed it as an easy read.

    Takes a serious topic and turns it shallow. Jesus.

    Mia has only known pain from men. Her father, Oliver, was a successful surgeon as well as a vicious child abuser behind closed doors. Her boyfriend, Forbes, is also abusive and a successful lawyer. Forbes takes his heartless dominance to a point where Mia finally flees Boston, finally leaving her abusive past behind.Jordan is immature and has sworn off love after seeing his dad fall apart twice from a broken heart. He sleeps with women but never stays long enough for feelings to develop. He has been careless with gambling and alcohol just as he has been careless with women. His best friend, Beth, is the only woman he trusts and is committed to, and she's into women, so romance is perfectly impossible between them. Taking over his father's hotel while he's out of town, Beth sends a tourist his way. A tourist that may not ever leave. This was my first audiobook experience and it had it's ups and downs. On the one hand, I did like the narrator for Jordan, but on the other hand I did not care for the narrator for Mia. I did like that they had alternating narrations, but I did not like that it repeated the same events in some chapters. I liked how deep and dark this book got but I did not like how Jordan's immature and shallow personality was redundantly beat into the reader's head. I apologize for being cryptic but I do not want to give the spoiler away; I am not sure how I feel about the plot twist. I did not see it coming, however, I am not sure how to feel about it. It just seems a bit of a stretch, in my opinion.I got this AudioCD in 2014 from Goodreads Giveaways. I admit, at first, I was a bit disappointed. I expected it to be a physical book, not an AudioCD. I had not read the details completely and since my CD player in my car did not work, I had set it aside and moved on. I went back to it and downloaded it to play on my phone while driving around, but I ended up preferring music rather than an audiobook. Fortunately, I recently got a newer car with a working CD player. I also recently joined a book club and a lot of my fellow members were raving about listening to audiobooks while driving around. My first thought was to fish this audioCD out of the drawer I had stuffed it in and give it another try. Third time was the charm. To those who may be offended or triggered, there were the following in this book: foul language, explicit sexual scenarios, graphic violence, physical abuse, bulimia, parental abandonment, divorce, death, and sexual assault.Please note: An AudioCD of this book was provided for free by Goodreads Giveaways. I apologize that it has taken me over 3 years to finally listen through it. I do sincerely appreciate this as it has helped me learn that I DO actually enjoy audiobooks! I have since started another one and I am confident that I will keep checking them out.
