Holy Angst and Cliffhanger!

Revisado: 01-23-24

I don’t have the words to properly say what I’m thinking without giving spoilers so I will just say that this all-star full cast did amazing at keeping me on my toes through the angst and sexual tension while making me laugh at the most inappropriate times. Rebecca’s writing and storyline is *chefs kiss* with the high attention that is put into the details. The performances topped the cake and you could tell each of them cared about this project while bringing out raw and real emotions. It was fun getting 4 new all-stars added to the original cast! I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks and this has me in a constant chokehold as I wait for book 3.
This is book 2 of the Brutes of Bristlebrook and should be listened to after Ensnared. Please be aware of Trigger Warnings.

Short, but wild ride

Revisado: 01-13-24

An amazing performance in duet style brought to you by Joe as Sawyer and Rose as Naomi.
This short and spicy story packs a plot punch and leaves you aching for more. I did have questions at the end that I wish could be answered now, but in Nicole we trust 🖤 Listening to previous works from Nicole, I’m not surprised that she was able to end the story on a good note while leaving a world left to build. What she writes is interconnected in one way or another and Sawyer and Naomi’s story was created for something more. Buckle up buttercup because you’re in for a short, but wild ride.

Joe, a Talented Storyteller on Paper & Audio

Revisado: 01-12-24

There are moments of straight visual poetry as I listened to Joe’s words. We get rawness, vulnerability, and spice wrapped into a beautiful “fictional” package that gives us a sneak peak into the life of an actor. There were celebratory moments that made me so sad because of the alternate life the MMC had to create just to catch his big break. The life is cutthroat and sometimes we have to do crazy things, but be prepared for facing the consequences.

Amazing Series & Performance 🖤

Revisado: 01-07-24

I didn’t think Nicole could do more damage than she already did to my heart but I was wrong. I’m trusting your process Nicole, but my heart needs some aftercare. So carefully and beautifully written, Embers dropped bomb after bomb making me blush, laugh, cry, and drop my jaw. The spice is hot and well placed while the plot is so thick and twisted, you’ll be reaching for your comfort blanket. Grayson and Maxine were phenomenal in their performances and embody Jaxon and Natalie so well 🖤

Came for the Smut, Stayed for the Story

Revisado: 01-05-24

I’ve had Zepphora’s books on my TBR for a bit now and after receiving the ALC, I’m so glad I could experience it through the narrators.

The story is written in first person dual POV with a duet style performance and I loved it. Reckless was a great introduction to Katie Thompson. Katie’s tone portrayed Francine’s “good girl” innocence, but developed as her thoughts and actions did throughout the story. Teddy has that “bad boy” tone that I’m familiar with through other dark romances which made him perfect for Finn and his filthy mouth. There’s sexual tension with a daddy k!nk and good banter between the main characters. The story is more than just smut and I was here for it all! Though it’s obvious their story isn’t finished and will most likely continue in the other characters’ books, it didn’t necessarily leave off with a cliffhanger.

Sh!ts and Giggles Galore

Loved the concept of the short audio plays. It was my first audiobook for the new year and it made my day. The bloopers were everything I thought it would be with such a great group of narrators.

First MM Romance & Whoa.

Revisado: 12-31-23

I love Sara Cate, but I have yet to listen to an audio performance of her books before now. It’s only fitting that this is also my first ever MM romance. This is an age gap with Thomas the professor who has a one night stand with Pax, a mechanic, who we find out is a student in his class. Joe Arden and Grayson Owens did phenomenal bringing the characters to another level of trauma healing, vulnerability, and sensuality with a whole lot of spice 😮‍💨🌶️

Now That’s a Performance

Revisado: 12-30-23

This was a great quick and dirty listen with revenge, age gap, ex boyfriend’s dad, spice, and more. I’ve listened to Sebastian’s work before and was looking forward to this, but damn Janine! The voice inflections during each scene amped up my own emotions to match. This was my introduction to the narrator and I was eating it up! Lake sure gets her revenge after her ex cheats on her and it was a fun ride 😏

Jucy Does It Again!

Revisado: 10-12-23

I already loved this book when reading it and was excited to find out Joe and Lucy were narrating it. They brought this book to LIFE. You get great banter, spice, and a mess of feelings from the way they portray their character’s emotions so well.
