About this audiobook

Damon: For twenty-five years he's served as a plaything for the gods. With no memory of his past, he has no way of knowing if this is his ultimate fate, but he senses there has to be more to life.

Damon's hope for more comes in the form of the Sirens' newest recruit. Elysia is unlike any trainee he's ever met. Not only can she remember where she came from-an ability the Sirens block-but she has an instant connection to Damon, one he's never before felt and doesn't understand. Soon Damon is willing to do anything to have Elysia. Even risk the wrath of the gods to break her out of Olympus so he can keep her for himself.

But Damon's past isn't a mystery to everyone. Evil forces are at work beneath the surface, and before long, Damon realizes that the connection he shares with Elysia isn't a random coincidence. His fate-and the darkness it brings-was cemented long ago. And when it is finally revealed, no one will be safe.

Contains mature themes.

Elisabeth Naughton

Before topping multiple bestseller lists—including those of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal—Elisabeth Naughton taught middle-school science. A voracious reader, she soon discovered she had a knack for creating stories with a chemistry of their own. The spark turned into a flame, and Naughton now writes full-time. Her books have been nominated for some of the industry’s most prestigious awards, such as the RITA and Golden Heart Awards from Romance Writers of America, the Australian Romance Readers Award, and the Golden Leaf Award. When not dreaming up new stories, Naughton can be found spending time with her husband and three children in their western Oregon home. Unspeakable is the third book in her Deadly Secrets series, following Protected, Gone, and Repressed, which was a 2017 RITA winner in romantic suspense.

    4 Stars

    With no memories of his past, Damon has spent the last 25 years as a slave in Aphrodite's Pleasure Palace. His one respite is his occasional assignment training new Siren recruits in the arts of war, strategy, and seduction. But when the newest recruit, Elysia, awakens in Damon dormant thoughts, emotions, and desires, they will have to decide if their love is worth angering the vengeful and manipulative gods who have their own plans for the pair.

    Series note: This installment in the Eternal Guardians series continues from where the previous novella left off, and continues the ongoing Orb of Kronos story arc. It is, therefore, recommended that the books be read in order.

    While the twists, turns and revelations of the plot are predictable, the romance between Damon and Elysia is sweet and sexy. They are both likable characters although Elysia's naivete is sometimes irksome, and their physical and emotional bond is intense and believable.

    The cameos by the previous couples in the series is an added bonus as readers are able to catch up with their lives.

    Looking forward to the next book and hope it will be published soon.

    Elisabeth Naughton’s Awakened has become my favorite book in the Eternal Guardians Series. Damon has belonged to the goddess Aphrodite for twenty-five years. He remembers nothing from his life beforehand. He is loaned to the goddess of war, Athena, to help train the incoming sirens. He finds himself drawn to new recruit, Elysia. He will do anything for her. He discovers that their meeting was not an accident, there are other forces at play. Awakened takes place in Olympus and Argolea. This mythological fantasy is suitable for adult audiences.Elisabeth Naughton does an amazing job with her character development. I love that characters from the earlier books still play a vital role throughout the story. Damon is a terrific character with lots of layers. I love Elysia. She is brave and determined. I like that she doesn’t let her parents push her around. I like that she doesn’t give up. I think it is great how loyal Talisa and Maximus are to her, especially Maximus. Zeus and Athena make excellent opponents; they are crafty and powerful. The plot was exceptional, full of action and mystery. I loved this story. Elisabeth Naughton does a great job of protecting the integrity of the mythological characters while creating a new tale. I appreciate how things that happened in previous books played such an important role in this novel. Awakened is a difficult book to put down full of nonstop excitement. Followers of the Eternal Guardians will not want to miss this book. If you haven’t read the Eternal Guardian Series yet, I recommend following them in order. I think you would be able to comprehend it as a standalone, but you wouldn’t get near the same amount of investment to the characters knowing their background stories.Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

    Oh gosh! I don't want to give any spoilers but the next generation connects with the one before in a weird twist of fate. Zeus is up to his games again and the poor Argonauts are his unwilling playthings. Damon is the anti-thesis of his original self. And Elysia is so much like her mom it's like reading Isadora and Demetrius' book all over again. That was very nostalgic for me, especially since the island of Pandora plays such a major role. This book does not disappoint and with the new generation of Argonauts, I'm excited about the future installments in this series. Squeeeel!ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
