Story
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

When I’m running on fumes while driving on what feels like the loneliest stretch of road in California, I worry I’m in trouble. Luckily, I happen upon Aqua Vista, a sleepy coastal town with the only pump for miles, and the grumpy owner who is more gorgeous than he has any right to be. When I’m told I’ll need more than fuel to disable the check engine light on my dash, I figure there are worse places to be stuck while my car gets needed repairs.

Nick has no direction in his life, as his mother often reminds him. He works paycheck to paycheck, which becomes a problem when the paychecks stop coming in. When he's offered an opportunity to work off his rent, Nick decides there are worse things in life than being a super, especially when the job includes free rent. There is, however, a catch. His landlord is a vampire, and he needs more from Nick than maintenance and renter-wrangling. He needs Nick's blood.

Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between. The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons. First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.

R.L. Hemm and Grayton D were Outstanding!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to First Christmas by D. Raven, narrated by R.L. Hemm and Grayton D. This novella isn’t overly focused on the holiday, making it perfect for listening at any time of the year. At its core, the story is a heartfelt reminder that women deserve the best in relationships and should never settle for less. The chemistry and spice between the characters were off the charts, which I loved! R.L. Hemm and Grayton D did an outstanding job bringing the characters to life, making the experience even more immersive. I’d highly recommend anything these two narrate—you won’t be disappointed!

Sweet and Spicy!
D.Raven does an amazing job of tackling sensitive subject matter (grief, anxiety, etc.) in a realistic and courteous way while also weaving a beautiful continuation of a love story with plenty of steamy encounters, brought to life by narrators R.L. Hemm and Grayton.D. I could listen to them both all day!

Beautiful
This book was so heartwarming and beautiful. A perfect little Christmas novella.
Rebecca is having a hard time accepting that she can be loved so deeply by another. She has been through so much. My heart hurts for her because I’ve been there. Always wondering when the shoe is going to drop and everything wonderful disappears.
Lucas…I LOVE HIM!!! The love he has for Rebecca and THEIR daughter, warms my heart. He adores being a father and not being blood doesn’t matter to him. He is such an amazing and loving man.
Audio Review
Omgggg!!! Brough these characters to life! I don’t think there could have been better narrators for them. Hearing Nat call Lucas dad, I was in tears! Such a beautiful story brought to life and I couldn’t love it more
