Bed of Roses

A Curvy Girl Dark Romance Novel

De: DV Fischer

Narrado por: Ricki Layne

I never thought I'd fall for a murderer.

As an old employee at a funeral home, Tegan's life had been full of corpses. When her parents died, she couldn't take being surrounded by death anymore. She had to get away, and to do that, she moved to a small, sleepy town in Utah.
When Tegan rented a house sight-unseen, she had been told it would need a lot of work. She just didn't realize how much, nor had she been told that the previous owner had gone missing and assumed dead.

On the plus side, she wouldn't be doing the renovations alone. Cole Garner, a too-attractive-for-his-own-good handyman with a dark past, would be there, working side-by-side with her. He may grate on her nerves and push her to her breaking point, but she never expected to fall for the ex-con who was wrapped in secrets so dark, she could only guess at. She was the good girl. She didn't fall for the bad boys. Until Cole.

However, all wasn't as it seemed. While her new life unfolded, a past life haunted her . . . The details of the previous owner’s murder arose, and now everyone thought she was crazy.

Everyone, except for Cole.

Suspenseful Romance

I really enjoyed the storyline of Bed of Roses. I think the suspense and romance was well balanced. My one complaint was that the solo narration for the dual POV made it difficult for me to stay in the correct perspective of the storyline.

Otherwise, I enjoyed this book.

Perfect!

I enjoyed listening to this book just as much as I enjoyed reading it as well. The voice was perfect for this book! I loved the storyline and the characters. Being able to listen to it made it so that I was able to do things around the house etc.

Great

I enjoyed this story when I read it and now when I listened. I love the characters and the story line. I usually like dual POV with 2 narrators to help distinguish between whose Pov it is but I enjoyed this audiobook.

Loved the book and enjoyed the audio

I read the book first and I absolutely loved it!! I enjoyed the audio. The narrator has a very soothing voice and was easy to listen to. This is a one person narrator but flows well with the book.

The book was very well read, and it's such a good edge of your seat book. Absolutely loved

I loved so much about this book. the angst, and inflection by which it was read. it was amazing to hear it come to life.

Great Story!

This is my first book by D.V. Fischer. I love discovering 'new to me' authors, and I will definitely be reading more from this one. I went into this book without reading the blurb because I wanted to be surprised. Mission accomplished! Bed of Roses is an emotional rollercoaster. I read it in one sitting and could not put it down. This story is unlike any I've read before; I was locked in from the start. Tegan wants to leave her past behind, so she moves to a home in a small town in Utah. When she arrives, she realizes that appearances can be deceiving and that maybe this town is not so sleepy after all. There are so many secrets and I loved every second of it. This book gave me paranormal elements, mystery, romance, spice, drama, twists, and turns. I loved Cole and Tegam together. I am always here for a curvy FMC! Cole was...whew! He brought the heat! Bed of Roses is the perfect fast-paced, steamy, dark romance. It is well-written, and the storyline is amazing. I look forward to reading more from D.V. Fischer.

NARRATION:
Ricki Layne narrated this story. Although I prefer dual narration, Ricki did a good job providing voices for the female and male characters. There were a couple of times when I had to confirm I knew who was speaking, and I felt maybe a little more bass would have helped distinguish the characters. Otherwise, this was a solid performance. Ricki portrayed the characters well and brought them to life.

Amazing twisty story that keeps you guessing

This book will hold your attention and keep you engaged. If you like rugged guys who do the right thing for family no matter what and a secret mystery you will love this!

Was not prepared for this book

Star Rating: 4/5
Spice Rating: 3/5
Audiobook: 4/5

This book was a fast paced, thrilling, dark romance with a good (curvy) girl and a bad boy, who doesn't love that, Tegan and Cole were both broken souls who come together while fixing up a home, they have great chemistry and was a quick burn and have some very good spicy scenes, they also go through a lot of twists and turns. The mystery and paranormal aspects of the story through me for a loop, one second I thought I knew what was happening and the next I was being shocked by what actually happened. This book kept me hooked the whole time and is defiantly worth the read or listen.

Ricki did a great job narrating this book, I do prefer duets but Ricki does a good job changing her tone so that you can tell which character she is reading for. I really enjoyed the audio book as well as just reading the paper book!

Awesome story!

I actually really liked this story and how it played out. However, I did not like only having one narrator. It should have been a male/female because it would have made the story/audio flow much better. I really liked it though. Can’t wait for the next book.

BoR

The book was phenomenal so I had to listen to the audio when it came out and again phenomenal! The story line is so good and the narrator does a good job bringing it to life
