About this listen
Only one thing can keep Ashton safe from the supernatural predators who made the world into their depraved, twisted playground after the Takeover - but it's the one thing that would steal the last remnants of his freedom. At every turn, society confronts Reese and Ashton with the way humans are treated as mere playthings to be used and discarded. When they realize their own desires and pride have no place in the status quo, Ashton and his werewolf lover understand they'll have to engage in the deadly games played by those in charge if they want to make a difference.
But Reese isn't a diplomat, and Ash is only human. Together, they must decide if they're willing to work with the devil they know in what might change everything or rely on their consciences in a world that has no place for kindness or honor...
What are they willing to sacrifice along the way?
(Temper was revised on 3/30/2017. Some of the more graphic scenes have been edited for content, but they may still be triggering for some listeners.)
Now that supernatural beings have seized control of the world, life has become a struggle for the humans who once held power. Witches, vampires, and werewolves determine the fate of every single human, but their moral compasses have long since been shattered. Rebels, free humans, and slaves all share dreams of hope, mercy, love, and more. But with their fate so uncertain, survival isn't enough...and they may have to sacrifice what is nearest and dearest to them if they want to change their lives.
Bought, Ravel, and Recoil feature different characters whose lives begin to come together in Owned and Temper. This dystopian series explores different aspects of the world, from utter darkness to the shining lights waiting to emerge. Because of this, the books range from dark erotica to romance to horror to action(ish) to bits of other things in between.
- Bought*: Jace & Elias (paranormal dark erotica)
- Ravel: Ashton & Reese (paranormal romance)
- Recoil: Khaz & Noah (paranormal erotic romance)
- Owned*: Khaz & Noah, Jace & Elias (paranormal)
- Temper*: Ashton & Reese, Jace & Elias (paranormal)
- Refraction: Khaz & Noah, Ashton & Reese (Jace & Elias) (paranormal)
*Please note that the The Fate of the Fallen (previously Ripples in the Status Quo) world has little place for humanity, and as a result, content in these works may contain graphic scenes of depravity, cruelty, and violence - sexual or otherwise - that could be offensive and potentially triggering to some listeners.

Three strikes and you're out? If only. In my world, it's more of a one-and-done situation, even if you get that one strike trying to do something good. I've been on the run for years, never staying anywhere too long, never getting attached to anything or anyone because he will always find me. Bane. He's the best bounty hunter in existence, and I'm the one that got away, well, keeps getting away. If he wasn't so sexy I would hate him for it.

Story
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron’s Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked. I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage.

I thought I’d lost my fated mate until he shows up years later. Only with no memory of me. Or us. As Beta of the Aspen Pack, I was forced to watch our former Alpha turn to dark magic and destroy the bonds of our people. I nearly died trying to save us, but I broke the biggest taboo: I told the others that cat-shifters existed and almost lost everything in return. We have a new Alpha, a new future, and a dangerous and mysterious enemy threatening our stable balance. And a new Tracker. The man who looks like my dead mate.

Great book in the amazing series
I loved listening to this book and enjoyed it even more than reading ebook. I love this series and enjoy listening to these books knowing what will happen next. With this book is was more difficult than with other books because of one particular scene I found heart breaking while reading. The story is so powerful and the character development is amazing so that even the scene taking place between Ashton and Reese's pack members was not as gut wrenching as when I read the book. Narrator did a good job, as with previous books I had to increase the speed of narration to 1.15 and then it was a perfect listening experience. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series and looking forward to other books by this author and narrator.

dark and twisted
Temper is the fifth book in The Fate of the Fallen series by R Phoenix. The story is dark, twisted, violent and haunting... it tests your limits of how much inhumanity you can deal with. It makes you uncomfortable but yet unable to look away, the need to see what happens next alive and well. These characters have clawed their way into your soul and their grin strengthens with each book.
Jack Noble does a fantastic job narrating this story and keeping the mood dark and chilling. Perfect mood through voice.

Intense, dark, gutwrenching read
I was gutted when Reese's old pack took Ash and used him savagely until Reese affected his rescue. So much is going on behind the scenes. It blows my mind how a few truths are allowed out bit by bit. More to come in future and I can't wait. I'm rooting for Reese to continue and win his revenge for vengeance over his aggressors! Lady Des is truly working my LAST nerve. Something's gotta give!!!
