I received the ARC for this book when it was just coming out and absolutely LOVED IT! I didn’t think it could get any better until NOW!
This book with these narrators was perfection! I laughed way too hard, gagged A LOT, and still refuse to touch ice cream all these months later! Sitting at work listening to this had my coworkers knocking on the office door asking wth was wrong. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Yes it takes a LONG while before any smexy times happen but it’s so good when you get it! 🥵

Story
Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Found this book just over a month ago and I’ve already listened to it three times. I am so in love with these two and their journey to love.
Burky is such an amazing teddy bear of a man who has no problem knocking out his enemies on the ice to protect his boy, Shaw. Starting from chapter one the attraction is VERY much noticeable. The steps they take to find their true selves and the love for each other is one of low angst, medium steam, and a whole love of giddy feelings that make single people determined to find this kind of sweet devotion. 😍♥️
Narrators are PERFECT as always. I’ve listened to a few of their books and each one is just wonderful. I hope there ends up being more books based on the roommates because even the side characters were perfection.
This is a spin off of Always from the Indigo series. Always is the only book out so far and hopefully there’s more of that set too! Can’t go wrong with this author’s books!

I thought I knew who I was, where I came from, but my life is turned upside down when a stranger knocks on my door with promises that seem too good to be true. I should have run like hell and never looked back, but it’s too late now. I’m enrolled at Cadieux College, where secrets and deception line the walls, and the founding families rule without question. They all think I’ll be easy to use, to control, but I’m nobody’s puppet.

When it comes to Albany Walker books I know the smut level will be a SLOW burn, but I’m 100% okay with it because I also know the story will be amazing!! This doesn’t disappoint!
The duel narration is something I get all giddy about when I find in a book. These two pull of the characters so well!

I’m the prince of death. A son of carnage born of wicked deeds and sin-filled nightmares. Nobody understood me. Until her. My Spider. The wild girl I claimed from a sea of violent men. But others want her too. The enemies who lurk within my walls seek to steal her from my grasp. They’re my captives, but maybe they’re the answer to my greatest fear too. Because the Grim Reaper shadows every move I make, and he’s always watching her.

I LOVED this duet! Absolutely loved it. I pretty much did nothing but listen to it non stop for two days with barely any sleep!
Author was amazing with little Psycho and her men. The storyline was perfect!
Troy…as always his narration was spot on! He brought these psychos alive and I loved it!
Now as for the replacement of the original female narrator with Bordeaux. I was so sad to see that the original was replaced. Do not get me wrong I have plenty of books narrated by Bridget Bordeaux and she does a good job…but she cannot pull off a male voice at all. Give three males two with different accents and it’s a hard listen. She also rushes through everything. Which takes away from the feeling of the story.

I made one foolish mistake and ended up with a debt I had only one way to pay...by bowing my head and submitting to the men I swore I hated. But in their dominance, I found catharsis. In the darkness we share, parts of myself were brought to the light. Now I'm torn between the future I thought I wanted and a life I once believed was only fantasy. What am I willing to sacrifice? My pride and carefully laid plans, my determination that I can do it all alone? Or my new-found freedom to live without boundaries with the men who turned my world on its head?

Okay first off, if you have to listen to it at work be warned, your coworkers WILL ASK QUESTIONS!
Yes the title is correct! I was so lost in one of the moser 🌶️🌶️🌶️ scenes that when I went to dial out I accidentally dialed 911! We have to push 9 first at work then 1 to start the area code…we’ll let’s just say I was to busy listening I hit 1 twice and it went straight to 911 which activated our emergency phone system at work! My boss came over quickly to ask what was happening and I did nothing but stutter through WHY I called 911!
I can not get enough of these books! I absolutely LOVE Part 1 and Part 2 and the prequel The Dare! This is a must have! There’s so much emotion on these pages along with action and of course spice!
Narrators do a phenomenal job and make the characters come to life! 100% a must listen!

Story
“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

I read this book the day it was released and loved it. I woke up an hour earlier than normal today JUST to get started on the audible since it’s release day, and I still wasn’t ready for this book!!!
To say I’m obsessed with it doesn’t even cover what I’m feeling right now! Troy Duran hands down most amazing growly narrator EVER! When he speaks you just that little tingle going inside. Troy as Lincoln was perfection! Alexis Paige was perfect in her portrayal of Monroe! She really got into character that’s for sure!
The story itself HOCKEY GOLD! I love dark hockey romances. This may not be as dark but it HITS JUST RIGHT! You can not read this and not be as obsessed with it as Linc is with Monroe!

I’d been prom queen and cheer captain—high school’s most savage Queen Bee. I could have everything I wanted. Except them. The freaks, the weirdos, the school’s ultimate losers: Manson, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent. Our hatred for each other couldn’t keep us apart, not even when my own mistake got Manson expelled and made me the ultimate villain to the rest of them.

Holy sheets, now that was, that was something!
First let’s start with the narration. It’s been on my TBR for a while now. I bought the paperback along with the kindle edition and finally decided to start it. Just to find out in two weeks the audible would be released. So I held back. I forced myself to wait after already reading up to chapter 16!
It was SO WORTH IT! The narration was probably the most perfectly matched to characters I’ve ever read! J. Tipstone seriously hands down a master when it comes to narrating multiple MMCs. Jaclyn Kelso did amazingly with Jess! I can not wait to re-listen to this. BUT do not and I seriously mean it, do NOT listen to the first half of this book while at work! I could barely function. I was was to busy slapping my hands on my desk to keep me from dying through those spice scenes!
As for the story…. Hands down my FAVORITE Polyamorous romance books of all times! Harley created characters that were so relatable. So raw and real. I found myself laughing and crying and definitely lusting after some (okay honestly all) of these men! The dynamic of living in small towns is something I can relate to. The high school cliques and how even years later some people never leave high school. The growth of Jess and letting herself finally be honest with herself on what she truly wants and with who was wonderful to witness. The men and their undying love for not only each other but for a woman who they never thought could or would want them.
If you haven’t read The Dare by Harley I suggest reading chapter one in Losers and then reading the Dare then continue to chapter two!

My whole life, no one has had my back. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too.

Twisted Brothers Broken Angel
Reviewed: 05-28-23
This is one of my favorite series! I’ve reread this so many times waiting for the final book to be released (June 7th 2023 BTW!) what can I say? Eva brings her characters to life in the best way possible!
Willow is such an amazing FMC. She is so use to being used, abused, and rejected by everyone. She has to put up with so many disgusting remarks from people who either want her JUST because she’s a virgin, or because they’re making fun of her burn scars. She keeps fighting and learns to finally open up to our MMCs just to be thrown back right at the end into a downward spiral of self doubt and disgust.
The Brothers have had their own abuse growing up and have learned to be hard non caring towards anyone other than each other. Until they meet Willow. Malice fights his desire, replacing it with threats, but he cannot stop himself from killing or harming anyone who touches her. Ransom is open and friendly and shows their girl how he feels without fear. Vic, well, Vic is our NO TOUCHIE boy who never wants anyone or anyone to interrupt his routine or mess with his feelings or family. Though over time of watching Willow he can’t stop himself from going off course and letting her consume his thoughts.
The Brothers do everything to protect her, but in the end Willow finds one of their “protective ways” and it breaks everything she believed that was happening between them all.
🎧 Narration is spot on! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I’ve officially listened to this book more times than I can remember! I absolutely love it. Lexi’s writing style is one of my favorites, pretty sure I own almost all her audiobooks if not all of them. But this is hands down my favorite shifter novel ever.
Three possessive, dominant, loving alphas who adore their omega from day one. No hate or bullying between them just understanding and lots of 🔥🔥🔥 I am so hoping for more just like this!
