Historia
Love isn't on my mind when I sign up for the yearly Sinners Retreat, but a chance meeting at the airport changes everything. We click right away, and my bond with Kindra only deepens when we discover our mutual love for the most macabre hobbies. But then she brings up her brother's unsolved murder and her real reason for being here—to find his killer. That's when my past finally catches up with me, and I'm faced with an impossible choice.

Historia
Welcome to Georgian England, circa 1800. Alastair Thorne is a cad and a rake. Even his mother told him so. Pity for her that he cannot bring himself to care, for he relishes his life of debauchery and licentiousness, and is content thinking of no-one but himself. Except Alastair may have just messed with the wrong fair maiden, and his life is about to be cut violently short. That is until he comes face to face with the enigmatic stranger who's been watching him from afar.

Historia
It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

Historia
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

The proposal was simple: Score a home run and take my virginity. Except my proposal went to the wrong brother. It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother. Lane Collins is Orleans University's All-Star baseball captain. Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The life of every party. And the same guy I've crushed on in secret since we were kids.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

But mostly the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her. After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm.

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Historia
I'd never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until I'd broken up with my girlfriend. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mind . . . that was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was there alone. My brothers and I had decided to move the party from the bar to my hotel room. Things got loud, and before I knew it she was standing on the other side of my door. Only she wasn't here to join the party, instead she was raging with anger at the fact we'd kept her up half the night.

Spicy Cinderella Retelling
Sara Cate + Kinky fun + a Cinderella re-imagining where the stepsisters are hot for each other?! Say less! I ADORE fairy tale reimaginings, particularly those where relationship dynamics or unexpected angles are explored, so I knew this one would be lots of fun and super sexy. A delicious and super spicy novella.
Two stepsisters secretly in love. One auctioned by the evil stepmother. A delicious powerful man who claims them both.....it's such a fun set up. It is only a novella- so I calibrated my expectations. This one is light on backstory and larger character development and is more so an exploration of the relationship dynamics as these three find themselves together. The Cinderella elements are great, and it's a fast read. The more layered emotional punch you'd expect from a full length story isn't really the focus here (again it's a novella)- but it's got a good edge, plenty of kink and spice. Honestly, it would have been even more fabulous full length because there is so much to explore here. There are some dark elements as well (the auction/deflowering scene is intense) and a lot of tabooish vibes.
The audio is narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. I loved Michelle and Angelina, and Stephen brought some good edge, even if this performance wasn't overall my favorite of his.

Fun, spicy Cinderella influenced story
What’s it about?
In this Cinderella influenced story, Birdie wants to escape the clutches of her tyrannical stepmother, and she’s willing to do anything–even go up for a bridal auction. But that also means leaving the woman she’s in love with: her step sister Violet. But Violet refuses to let this end tragically, and approaches her wealthy ex, Alaric, to win Birdie’s auction. Feelings get all twisted up, and soon Birdie, Violet, and Alaric find themselves in a confusing mess of shared feelings.
My thoughts:
First, I loved the audiobook version of this story. It was expertly narrated by Stephen Borne, Michelle Sparks, and Angelina Rocca. It’s also quite short at 4.5 hours, so I flew right through it. I got all the things I love about a Sara Cate story in a quick burst.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Birdie, who is only 19, has a sort of endearing innocence despite the hard life she’s lived. And I love that Violet defies her despicable mother and sister and stands up for what’s right. Alaric has some morally gray tendencies that I would have liked to learn more about. But I always love a MMC who would burn down the world for the woman, or in this case, women he loves.
Great, quick listen with a some fun spice and great resolution.

The queen of kink did it again
This was a great novella! It’s short but it had plenty of time for the story to develop and for the characters to have growth! It’s taboo with the step siblings relationship, age gap and virginity, but it was carefully done in my opinion and deliciously explored! I truly adore how Sara Cate manages kinks and the way she writes, it’s just chefs kiss!

Birdie
Shattered Innocence- Sara Cate
Narrated by Stephen Borne, Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
This was a sexy, spicy, dark Cinderella retelling but the step sisters are hot for each other. Just like in the Disney version, the dad dies but in this version he was a grade A a-hole who abused his wife, daughter, and stepdaughters so he deserved to die. Now stepmommy dearest is taking everything out on Birdie that her dad did, even though she didn’t do anything to deserve it, so she forces her to enter the auction to be sold to the highest bidder to be wed and for her virginity. The only problem is, she’s in love with her step sister, and her step sister is in love with her. They come up with a plan for freedom but do plans ever go to plan? The Sara Cate spice was absolutely spicing on this one. There was some FF, MF, FFM action and it was hot hot hot!
Stephen, Angelina, and Michelle did incredible on this narration! Dual narration, so they each did their own chapters, but I think they portrayed each character perfectly!

Step-Family Bonding
I gobbled this one up in one sitting. I had a rough week, laid up with an injury and this naughty little delight was just what the doctor ordered. Well, maybe not, but it was still fun!
Birdie and Violet have such a sweet, forbidden relationship. Stepsisters they may be, but I could feel how deep their connection was. Living under the thumb of Violet's mother, they turn to Alaric, Violet’s ex, to help them out.
How is he helping them out? Well, by buying Birdie’s hand in marriage in an auction, of course! And it ain't even as simple as that. So buckle up!
This was a spicy little novella and I truly enjoyed myself, listening to the audio in just a few hours. It was narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. They were all well done, though I did find the male narrators's depiction of the women to be slightly off base. Just being honest!

Sara never misses
As a certified Disney nerd, a dirty, spicy AF Cinderella re-telling is a true collision of both my worlds and I was so here for it!
Birdie is a 19 y.o. girl who is being put up for auction to be sold to the highest bidder in exchange for her virginity and hand in marriage. Her evil stepmother wants to be rid of her in the most humiliating way possible, but Violet, her step-sister is doing everything she can to keep Birdie out of the hands of someone truly horrible who will take her away forever. Violet and Birdie are actually lovers, and when Violet approaches her old flame, Alaric, a wealthy assassin, she pleads with him to help spare Birdie from a horrible fate so that they can run off and be together. At first, Alaric is not interested, but when he meets Birdie, he is instantly intrigued by her and does whatever is necessary to not only keep her out of the hands of someone nefarious but to also to keep her for himself.
The rest of the story is the three of them exploring this new dynamic that they share, exploring each other and opening their hearts to the possibility that this arrangement could actually last. But there are secrets that have to be exposed before they can truly move forward and they have to hope that Birdie will still want to stay after everything comes to light. In true Sara fashion, this novella was packed with spice but has rich character development that moves the story along seamlessly. And although I am not the biggest consumer of FF romance, I knew Sara wouldn't steer me wrong. Not surprisingly so, this is another fantastic story from our Queen Sara Cate.
Stephen Borne, Angelina Rocca and Michelle Sparks were fantastic on this novella, delivering performances that embodied each character well and made the story that much more vivid. Round of applause for all three performers.

Interesting retelling of Cinderella as an FFM
Overall Thoughts: I have yet to listen to a book by Sara Cate that I don’t like. With that said,I doo have some beef with this book…I wanted so much more. I wanted this book to keep going. I adored it and it felt like it ended too soon! I could have listened to Birdie, Violet, and Alaric’s story forever. It has so much going on, step-sisters, sister’s ex-boyfriend, evil stepmother, FFM, and so much more. This was a delightful novel, and Sara grips you and brings you in from the moment you start the book. Angelina Rocca was the perfect VA to play Birdie, who is sweet and innocent. Michelle Sparks did an excellent job bringing the slightly snarky and jaded Violet to life. This was my first time listening to Stephen Borne, who was amazing as Alaric. The whole cast worked in perfect harmony.
Narration: Dual narration, first-person present tense, multiple POV with some flashbacks
Tropes: Cinderella retelling, FFM, ‘Mine’, bathtub scene, step-sister, auction, abusive parent/step-parent, forced humiliation, ‘virgin’ FMC, morally gray MMC, group play, exhibition
Overall: 5
Spice: 3
Humor: 1.5
Drama: 3.5
Darkness: 2.5
Narration: 5
Birdie has been a captive in her own home ever since her father passed away leaving her in the care of her monstrous stepmother, and vindictive stepsister. Her only shining light is Violet, her other stepsister. The only one to be nice to Birdie, her entire life.
Violet has been planning to escape with Birdie as soon as she can get them away from her mother, until she finds out Birdie is going to be put up for auction. Not willing to let Birdie be sold of to a random high bidder, she implores her ex, Alaric to help her save Birdie.
Alaric begrudgingly helps Violet and Birdie, but unknowingly enters into a contract with many stipulations, and when feelings get muddled, and lines are crossed, the three have to decide which future they are fighting for.

Violet believes Alaric is the only one they can trust though he is no knight in shining armor. Listen to this audio!! Stephen, Angelina and Michelle do an amazing job bringing all the emotion from these characters off the page. I am excited to check out the other Black Rose Auction stories.
