Like a Hurricane

Ravenpeak Bay, Book 2

By: Ria Wilde

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Vivienne LaRue

Everett

I'm the charming brother. The playful one. Damn good at my job, but I never take it too seriously. Life and death were just like playing cards dealt around a poker table. And the new job I accepted was just like any other. Until it wasn't.

My course changed the moment I met Arryn Lauder, an absolute hurricane of a woman, and my client's daughter.

But when the job goes wrong, and she becomes the new target on the underworld's hitlist, I do the one thing that could end us both. I take her.

She was determined to hate me, but she was always meant to be mine.

Arryn

Model. Heiress. Ice queen.

I was used to being disliked. I expected it even. So when Everett Avery shows up, with his charm and ridiculous good looks, I know to expect disappointment.

But then everything changes in one evening, as the only witness to my father's murder, my life becomes forfeited by the very same organization Everett works for. Except he doesn't want to cash in on the job, he wants to save me from it, even if that means taking me against my will.

I try to keep my distance, I know how these stories end, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to deny.

Everett wanted me to be his. But fear keeps my heart locked in a cage.

This book is a dark small town romance and contains content some may find uncomfortable. A list of TWs are provided at the start of the book and also available on the author's website. It is intended for mature listeners, 18+.

Take me to Ravenpeak Bay

Holy Moly if you liked book 1 in the Ravenpeak Bay series get ready for book 2.

I thought I liked Torrin but his brother Rhett takes it to another level. Rhett was hired by Arryn’s father Mr. Lauded to take out his competition. Things did not go as planned, and now Mr. Lauder I’d dead and his daughter Arryn’s life is in danger. So what does Rhett do? He kidnaps her to keep her safe.
The forced proximity makes the chemistry very hot between the two.
There is a huge plot twist, that you don’t see coming.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook. Teddy Hamilton and Vivienne LaRue did a wonderful job.
Teddy was so good at capturing the witty but dangerous side of Everette. Vivienne was able to portray a strong FMC, but also bring her vulnerabilities.

Thank you Blue Nose Audio and Ria Wilde for this ALC

A Feast For The Ears!

Ria Wilde hits it out of the park with this small-town romantic suspense audiobook! And hey, a little forced proximity never hurt anybody. This story truly has everything—romance, suspense, witty banter, intrigue, love, family—to take you on a journey that’s equal parts heartbreak and heart song. I am absolutely loving this Ravenpeak Bay world, or as I like to call it, Hot Hitman Central. I adored the first audiobook in this series, These Rough Waters, and I was very excited for this one. And that excitement was not misplaced with the wonderfully unexpected romance between Everett and Arryn. And with flawless narration from the talented voices of Teddy Hamilton and Vivienne LaRue, this story is truly a feast for the ears!

SO GOOD!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
Spice Level: 4/5🌶️
Audio: 5/5🎧

We’re back in Ravenpeak Bay with book 2 in the series. This book was SO GOOD! Everett and Arryn had me completely captivated from the very beginning. Everett is a hitman with quite the personality! He’s fun, sexy, sarcastic, but also surprisingly sweet! Arryn is such a strong, independent FMC with so much sass! The twists in this book were amazing!

Recorded in dual style, Teddy Hamilton and Vivenne LaRue knocked this out of the park! Vivenne is a new to me narrator and her voice was perfect for Arryn! She portrayed the fire in Arryn brilliantly! And Teddy for dark, possessive, and protective Rhett?! His voice was perfection!

I absolutely devoured this story and can’t wait for book #3!

Such a beautiful story ❤️

This was beautiful 😭🥹😍

"I didn't believe in fairytale until you - thank you for loving me.'

UGHHH😭🖤

Teddy as Rett was everything I needed

Oh my Oh my Oh my!!! This is my first listen of @narratedbyteddyhamilton and MAN!!! Did he knock it out of the park!!!

When I read Like a Hurricane by @authorriawilde I was OBSESSED with Rett and Arryn’s story.. I gave it a 5⭐️4🌶️ and hearing it in audio form was everything I could have wanted from it!!

@narratedbyteddyhamilton was the PERFECT Rett!! Like exactly what I imagined Rett to sound like 🖤

@viviennelarue was absolutely Amazing as Arryn 🫶🏼 She nailed it!!

@bluenoseaudio as always did an amazing job producing

An intriguing listen

4.5 stars

This is the second book in the Ravenpeak Bay series and while it can be listened to as a standalone, it is better to start with the first audiobook in the series. This is Everett’s story and what a tale it is…Who would have thought that one’s person would show up when plotting for a job? Everett is tasked by Aaryn’s father to take care of some business competition when he first comes into contact with her. As he attempts to follow through with his task, things do not go according to plan and Aaryn winds up in the crosshairs, making her the new target. What is Everett to do but whisk her away to save her but is that Aaryn’s only option? This is one intriguing listen with an engaging cast of characters and a town that could be a character in and of itself. Teddy Hamilton did a stellar job bringing Everett to life showcasing his protectiveness towards Aaryn. Vivenne LaRue is a new narrator to me and she was a force to be reckoned with as she portrayed the many facets of Aaryn, mixing strength with sassy to perfection. These two narrators brought on the banter and steamy to the nth degree that will have any listener want to spend the day kicking back to hear this audiobook.

Loved it!

What a fantastic performance by both narrators. I read this book last year and loved it but listening to it is absolutely much better. They fit the characters personalities so well. Can't wait for book 3 🖤
