For the Night

A Sun Series Standalone

De: Rae Lyse

Narrado por: Lauryn Nichols, Midnite Michael

Still reeling from a messy divorce, kindergarten teacher Venus Thibodeaux is on a self-proclaimed healing journey and adamant that she's done with love. She's determined to move on from her toxic past with a fresh start in a new city, but starting over isn't as easy as it sounds.

Anthony "Nuney" Nunez is young. He's unpolished, unpredictable, and according to his daughter's kindergarten teacher—a lousy parent. In fact, the two can't see eye to eye on anything except the strange attraction they have for each other every time their paths cross.

After Anthony and Venus find themselves on a wild date that shouldn't have been, they become embroiled in a torrid affair that threatens her healing journey, exposes the secrets in his sketchy life, and makes her question if she's really done with love after all.

This is a slow-burn adult contemporary romance intended for mature listeners.

Best story ever

This book is excellent. Narrators were excellent. they brought out the characters well; they brought thr characters to live.

Passion and love

I loved this book and it was great listening to it after reading it twice.

This story is 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm a HUGE of this series and this stand alone for Anthony and Venus was Soooo Good. However, the Narrators were just Ok. Midnite is usually descent, but I felt a disconnect with his narrating. I literally started the audio 5 times to get into the narration. Please bring back Winston James...

Extremely slow burn

Overall the book is good and has a great story. The book just takes too long to get to the point. Characters are well written though.

Soul food in book form

I love how the plot is simple but compelling. The character development is A+++. Love Anthony and his narrator. I had to warm up to both Venus the character and Lauryn the narrator but was rooting for her to get her HEA.

LOVED IT!!Rae did it again!!

I just love the writing style, I loved me some Nuni!! Im.glad the both overcame their issues. I just love the story and the characters. the narration was good Lauryn does her thing.. midnite is good and sometimes he's a miss, but he was good in this book.

This story is chef’s kiss

As always Rae Lyse style of storytelling is so captivating that you stop doing everything until you get through the book! I couldn’t put this book down and I hope you pick this one up so far my favorite read of 2025♥️

Love this Series!

I love this series! Every character that is introduced has such complex layers that keep wanting more.

Love this!!! PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS!!!

Rae neverrrrrr disappoint her books are everything. The way they all correlate with each other is amazing. Nuney had Chad hand messed all the way up from when Chad choke Tash but Nuney had to make sure Chad didn’t run his mouth at the risk of looking his babyyyy. Venus recognizing game when it came the Kristen on that PJ was soooo grown womannnn. And don’t get me started on how she got DEDEE!!!! This book is a must read!!! All of her books are a must read!!!

Excellent read

I love this book. I love this book so much that I've read it 3 times in the 6 months since its release (it's a comfort read at this point). Rae Lyse's writing is so captivating that you crack one of her books open just to take a peek and before you know it, you've read 80 pages. The entire Sun Series is excellent but Ant and Venus hold a special place in my heart. The only reason I didnt give this audio version 5 stars is because of the male narrator. The mispronunciations, the odd inflections, random pauses in the middle of sentences and the garbled words almost ruined the listening experience for me. Anthony's lovable, magnetic, complex character fell flat with his performance. Sigh. I probably won't revisit the audio but I will definitely read this book again (and again).
