About this listen
Starting new chapter in my life never felt so cold.
Nothing like picking up and moving across country on a whim.
My name is Cait Monroe, and I’d love to find a nice small ski town and live happily ever after, but I’ve promised to help my mom get back on her feet. So when Mom decides that she, along with my half sister, should pack up and go on an eight-month road trip out of nowhere, I tag along. For my sister's sake.
It's only then, when we settle into the new city and new way of life, that my past comes back to haunt me. Threats lurk around every corner, and I only want to move on. I struggle figuring out how to build a new life for myself and not knowing who to trust. So when four very sexy guys insert themselves into my life, I’m wary. Why are they doing this? What could they want with me?
As the sense of danger grows ever closer, the truth of my past becomes overwhelming and I fight for control.
Can I find refuge in this storm, and escape the peril the cold of night brings?

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

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.

I've never even thought about doing something like this, but I don't have a choice: I need fast cash so my sister can have the future she deserves.

Infatuated but reluctant men sort through their feelings for a woman with secrets. The book was slow to take off but it had me intrigued. The storyline is somewhat flat but it kept my interest piqued throughout and it picked up towards the second half. Spice was not frequent but the scenes were hot 🌶️🌶️. Narration truly made the listen enjoyable for me. They did an excellent job. I will definitely be purchasing the following books

Obsessed with this audio!
I cant wait for more!!!
Escaping the Cold is book #1 in the Scandalous Slopes series. Its a dark reverse harem. Make sure to check the trigger warning.
This audiobook is all around PERFECT!!! I can already tell that this is one that i am going to listen to a million times! These narrators brought every single emotion, and brought these characters to life so dang well. I could go on and on forever about this one!
I cant believe this is a debut novel!
Cait has just moved to a small, ski town and is helping her mom with her little sister. She loves their new home, loves her new job and meets 4 hot guys that she can't stop thinking about.
Corey, Cam, Bast, and Dom are all so freaking HOT!!! Some fall instantly for Cait, some fight it, but they cant deny that they fit perfectly. When Caits past comes back to ruin her present, everything could be ruined.
That cliffhanger!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I can't wait for the next book!!! I couldn't put this down. I love the characters, i love the world, I love the mystery and i love the spice!
Its a perfect start to the series!
