About this listen
From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Tessa Bailey comes a new story in her Made in Jersey series....
God help the woman I take home tonight.
Band manager James Brandon never expected to find the elusive satisfaction he'd been chasing, let alone stumble upon it in some sleazy Hollywood meat market. Yet the girl's quiet pride spoke to him from across the bar, louder than a shout. Troubled, hungry, and homeless, she'd placed her trust in him. But after losing the grip on his dark desires that one fateful night, James has spent the last four years atoning for letting her down.
This time I'll finally crack him.
Rock band drummer Lita Regina has had enough of James' guilt. She wants the explosive man she met that night in Hollywood. The man who held nothing back and took no prisoners - save Lita. And she'll stop at nothing to revive him. Even if it means throwing herself into peril at every turn, just to get a reaction from her stoic manager.
But when Lita takes her quest one step too far, James disappears from her life, thinking his absence will keep her safe. Now it's up to Lita to bring James back...and ignite an inferno of passion in the process.
Listener Advisory: Rough Rhythm contains fantasies of nonconsensual sex acted upon by consenting characters. Readers with sensitivity to portrayals of nonconsensual sex should be advised.
Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a stand-alone story. For new listeners it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.

Story
After a life of pool hustling and living on the wrong side of the law, Ruby Elliott is living on the straight and narrow with sexy-as-all-hell NYPD detective, Troy Bennett. Now the only trouble Ruby has with the law is the naughty kind, pinned against the wall by Troy's strict and spectacularly hard body. But then her father returns with an offer she can't refuse: one last hustle in exchange for information. Information she'd die to have. As the pieces and the players reveal themselves, Troy feels the fine edges of his control slipping—control he can't channel without hurting Ruby.

College drop-out Roxy Cumberland moved to New York with dreams of becoming an actress, but her dwindling bank account is quickly putting the kibosh on that fantasy. To make some quick cash, she signs up to perform singing telegrams. Her first customer is a gorgeous, cocky Manhattan trust-funder if she ever laid eyes on one. And what could be more humiliating than singing an ode to his junk, courtesy of his last one-night stand? Maybe the fact that she's dressed in a giant pink bunny costume....

One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract. When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves.

Two weeks before Christmas and all through Manhattan, shop windows are decorated in red and green satin. I'm standing alone in front of the famous Vivant department store, when a charming man named Aiden asks my opinion of the décor. It's a tragedy in tinsel, I say, unable to lie. He asks for a better idea with a twinkle in his eye. Did I know he owned the place? No. He put me on the spot. Now I'm working for that man, trying to ignore that he's hot. But as a down on her luck girl with a difficult past, I know an opportunity when I see one—and I have to make it last.

Story
We were 16 the night she was violently assaulted while I helplessly watched. I’ll never forget the sounds of her suffering. Or my inconsolable agony when she left Oklahoma. Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact. Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets. She doesn’t know my dark cravings or the trails of sin that lead to her. I don’t deserve her, but one truth remains: She’s mine.

Sunshine. It's a nickname I haven't heard since I lived on Woodbury Lane, where the houses were pretty, but the secrets? Deadly. It was a pet name known only to the Bullets. Rough, violent, and ruthless, they laid claim to the town - and my heart. I wasn't supposed to fall for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks‚ especially not four of them. But they were the only ones who understood that sometimes hell hides in plain sight.

A tough fantasy to get right, and Tessa succeeded
Tessa Bailey just gained herself a new fan. She managed to write a novella with a fully developed storyline and character arcs. Plus, she navigated the treacherous waters of rape fantasy while showing willing consent and sensitivity towards abuse victims. Listened to this in an afternoon and enjoyed it!

Mixed Bag
Rape fantasy stories are both scary and stimulating. For some more real then fictionalized horror-drama. Filled with seemingly insane behavior; since when has lust, love or life ever been sane to begin with?

A poetic dark and sweet story
This is a dark but oh so poetic story.
James is afraid of his darkness but Lots craves it. I love the writing style in this story, it’s like a poem but so dark.
The characters is slowly becoming known to you throughout the story
There’s no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and the dialogues is heavy and filled with emotions
Love scenes is steaming hot, dark and little twisted.
I love the narrators, they have clear pronunciation and read with feelings
5 stars 🌟

Hot, hotter, hottest!
Audiobook: Narrators – Molly Glenmore and Joe Arden
Holy Wow!!! This duo did an absolutely mesmerizing job as James and Lita. The fluctuation of their voices was spot on and when they hit the steamy parts it was so intense I felt like a voyeur. And the pain! Oh my lord! When James felt the pain of Lita walking away I again felt as though I were standing next to him, feeling it, hearing it, experiencing it with him. My heart literally broke for him. Thank you Molly and Joe for bringing this story to life in such an amazing way!
Oh my freaking gawd!!! This book just blew me away!! I have never, ever listened or read anything that had such intense passion, feelings and true depth of character in it!
Lita and James met four years ago and spent one night together. Since that time James has been trying to make amends for his actions. Lita is constantly causing a scene and stirring up trouble. All in an attempt to gain James’ attention. Now it’s time to take a chance to correct what happened that night and it’s going to be up to Lita to show him she can handle anything he wants to dish out.
This couple! Holy crap! The steam from this novella just about melted my phone as I listened to the dirty talking James. And yet it’s so much more than just sex. These characters are each broken in their own ways and trying to stay afloat in whatever manner possible. However, together they find the perfect combination of acceptance and support to face their demons.
This is a short read/listen and I’ve done both. I won’t recommend one method of experiencing this book over the other because they are both incredible in their own unique ways. You can’t go wrong no matter which format you enjoy this book with.
Book purchased via Amazon; audiobook won via author giveaway. This is my honest and willing review.

Dirty talking Joe Arden... Enough Said!!
I got this audio because of the narrators and because I have heard great things about the author. This story is dark in many ways and it might have themes that might not be for everyone, but it is well written and performed to perfection.

Darkness in the light of day.
Audible makes the darkness possible in the middle of the day. Who knew you could make cleaning day one you look forward to.? No one disturbs mom whole cleaning so thank you Tessa Bailey for making my house sparkle.
Oh and in as usual Tessa rocks so listen in!

The audio is bad
I really wanted to hear this story, I loved book one; however, Molly Glenmore’s voice sounds like a robot. I couldn’t listen to her. I’ll read the book instead.

Not ready for prime time
This story isn’t developed enough to warrant the purchase price. The backstory is forced and halting. The characters and their relationships are stilted and only half explained. This makes the sex scenes both awkward and unpleasant, particularly when what seems very much like a rape is supposedly “consensual.” Tessa Bailey is usually so good. Which makes this book particularly disappointing.
