Historia
For nearly four-hundred years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame. All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again.

Revisado: 12-10-24
This book holds so many similarities to other Fae-related romantasy books that I had to go back into my goodreads and check that this wasn’t a re-read. It’s also pretty predictable. I could see that “cliffhanger” reveal from the first moment the FMC met the MMC.
Did I hate it? No. Did I find it a bit boring at times? Yes. Will I still listen to the next book? Also, yes, but mostly because it’s currently free with my Audible subscription.
This is a medium burn, turned very spicy MF romance.
I did enjoy the narration and felt the VO was able to perform both the FMC and MMC’s roles well.

Historia
Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade. With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.

Dual-style narration

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book took way too long to finish - having started and stopped listening to it over the course of several months because I was bored. I finally told myself I had to make it to the end.
I feel it would have been more enjoyable if I had read it (with my eyes) rather than with my ears. I really didn’t enjoy either narrator. Since it was dual-style, both had to play the FMC and MMC’s roles. I found their versions of the opposite sex’s voices grating.
As for the story, I did enjoy the very loose take on the Hades/Persephone myth. I liked the mafia-vibe and background political machinations with the 13 gods of Olympus.
It’s a brainless listen with some spice. I wasn’t particularly invested in the story or the characters, likely another reason it took so long to finish. (This could very well be a product of not liking the narration. I might have felt more connected if I’d read the story).
In short, I’d recommend skipping the audio version and reading it instead.

Historia
Dancing on bar tops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University's infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time. But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother… his biggest rival. Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky. Frustratingly sexy. Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm. With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I'm almost the next score on his stats.

What an easy listen. Easton is the perfect book boyfriend In this rival’s sister, he falls first, MF romance.
It’s a low anxiety read with no third act breakup. Medium burns and spicy, it can be read as a complete standalone.

Historia
Shanna Fitzpatrick grew up with rock stars. She's seen enough to know she doesn't want to date one—let alone three—from two rival bands, no less. The bossy, much older security specialist who comes with one of those rock stars might be a different story, but she's still hurting a little too badly from past mistakes to find out.

>>>> Sir is more my style, but every time the naughty little vixen calls me Daddy, it makes my 🐓 throb. She’s temptation wrapped up in a gorgeous package, and the best part? She wants me too. <<<<
I loved this dual-style narration of Knot Wanted. I have read the ebook more than once, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it now. It was an easy binge listen with great narration by Amber Lee Connors (kudos to her portrayal of the Omega's Scottish accent) and Gideon Frost. This book is well worth the credit.
📚 Story Review 📚
Jillian knocked another one out of the park!! I will read (and reread) anything she writes because I know that diving into her books means a sweet romance with low anxiety/angst and hot spice.
Her MMCs are the kind you want to add to your own harem, and her FMCs are never weak, even when they have had a less-than-positive experience with love.
This book is fast-burn and high spice, with MF and MFM+ scenes. It has lots of instant-attraction vibes (a one-night stand leading to more), scent matching, and the soothing of heat spikes.
Another standalone in the overarching Ruined Records universe, I would highly recommend Knot Guaranteed is read first, as there are significant character crossovers (the FMC's best friend and older brother, as well as two of her love interests, are introduced).
Highly recommended to OV lovers!
Genre: Contemporary Rockstar Omegaverse Romance
Tropes/Features: Rockstars and bodyguard, age gap, older brother’s best friends, hurt/comfort, all-in MMCs, he falls first, scent matches, bonding, somno, breeding kink, rival bands/enemies in pack, cock warming, group scenes
Narrator: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: Why Choose MFMMM, fast burn, spicy
Book Type/Ending: Interconnected standalone with HEA, recommend reading Knot Guaranteed first

Historia
Hockey is my life. It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever needed, and everything was going according to plan. All I had to do was focus on the game, keep my head down, then get drafted into the NHL. With my team by my side, I was focused solely on the game. I thought nothing could stop me. Then my father came along and ruined everything. He demanded a business marriage for my sister, and I knew I had no choice but to step in and take her place so she could be happy.

Historia
Hockey is my life. It's my only goal, my only escape. Everything was going according to plan. All I had to do was focus on the game, keep my head down, then get drafted into the NHL. Starting the year as the captain of FU should have made that easy, but now my attention is torn between the ice and taunting my rival's little sister, Madeline Peters. My only real solace is the mystery girl inside my phone who refuses to tell me her name. Then, one drunken knock on the wrong door brings Madeline into my bedroom.

I devoured this enemies to lovers hockey romance. The dirty talk and naughty bits were so hot, and I loved the relationship between the FMC and MMC.
Time to jump straight into the next one!

I loved The Friend Zone so much that I immediately dived into this one. Ember and Bash’s story was super high on the angst and pining charts, but it was all worth it to get to that HEA.
Another clean and wholesome romance. Once again, I was surprised that I didn’t miss the spice.

Historia
Disgraced college quarterback Logan Hunt was on his way to NFL stardom when he messed up big-time. Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules. No parties, no fighting, no swearing, and oh, no dating the coach’s daughter, Jess. Simple. Yeah, right. For Logan, there has never been a rule he’s more tempted to break.

I typically don’t read or listen to no-spice romances, but I had gone in blind, picking this book up during one of Audible’s sales. I am really glad I did. It is an incredibly sweet story. I didn’t miss the steamy bits at all.
Great performance by both narrators.

>>>>> She’s sinfully gorgeous and too damn sweet for her own good, but that just means I get to be her monster.
I love everything about this duet! Ready or Not is such a great conclusion to Vale and her pack’s story. We get the same sweet and protective Alphas from book one, plus second chances and redemption, action and suspense, and one cute baby girl.
After the surprise revelations that closed out Not Ready, I was chomping at the bit for this second part. It was well worth the wait. I fell even more in love with Holt, Bishop, and Mercer, and even came to love Cooper. Give me all the cinnamon roll characters for my own harem!
Vale spends most of this book pregnant (including all the good and bad bits) with on-page depictions of childbirth and its “lovely” aftermath. Like before, the Alphas do an excellent job reminding her how beautiful they find her, how much she is cherished, and how excited they are to meet their daughter. It has all the good vibes!
This is a fast-burn and very spicy why-choose romance with the goodness of OVs – scenting, nesting, slick and knotting, and bonding (no heats, as Vale is already pregnant). The men love everything about her, baby belly and all.
Ready or Not is part two of the Assurance Security Duet and must be read in order.
I highly recommend this OV duet (and anything else written by Jillian).
Genre: Contemporary Omegaverse Romance
Tropes/Features: Marriage of convenience, second chance/redemption, hurt/comfort, scent matches/fated mates, protective vigilante alphas, single mother, touch starved omega, pregnancy trope, on-page delivery, bonding, age gaps, OV elements, stalker, one-night stand, suspense & danger
POV: Multiple 1st Person POV

Historia
I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

I totally binged this book! It’s a new-to-me-author and narrator, but I will hunt down more.
From that high-stress opening chapter, to the tear-inducing HEA, I was in the story’s thrall.
It’s a medium burn and spicy MF romance.
