About this listen
The Man Made of Stone
Albion Guthrie has a reputation for being unapproachable. He’s emotionless. The only thing he “loves” is his job. When Albion’s boss asks him to keep Wade Lee Sawyer in check at the office after an attempted white-collar mutiny, Albion has no choice. Wade signs a contract stating he will work for Albion and follow his directives, and if Albion can manipulate anything in his favor, it’s paperwork.
The Traitor Who Craves Love
Wade Lee Sawyer only ever wanted to be loved. Was that really so wrong? He was hungry for any positive attention, which led him to make the worst mistake of his life. He trusted the wrong man and accidentally got caught up in a plan to destroy the company he loves. Now he’s paying the price. Following Albion’s orders at the office is easy for him, and he begins to enjoy it more than he ever thought he would.
Always Read the Fine Print
Every choice has consequences. Spending so much time with Wade has Albion acting in ways he shouldn’t. Falling in love isn’t mentioned anywhere in the contract they signed, and Albion makes it his mission to never let that happen. Wade wants something meaningful, and he knows Albion could never fall for him after the way he acted.
Or can he?
This story takes place in the beautiful city of St. Loren, Louisiana, which is part of the New Gothenburg world.

Story
I was drowning in debt and my sister needed help, so I made a terrible choice. I borrowed money from the infamous Marchesi family, knowing I had no way to pay them back. Did I think I could evade them? Did I think I’d win the lottery? No, I didn’t think at all. I just acted. Now, a killer is at my door, a man known for his ruthlessness, his persistence, and the way he can bring a man to his knees–for business or pleasure. I’ve got to find a way to pay him back, and the only thing I own free and clear is my body.

Story
Anthony Costello may be a vicious mafia boss with a penchant for violence and torture, but he’s also my best friend’s father and the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. His buttoned-up demeanor and grumpy attitude only fuel my desire to take him apart. I live to push all his buttons. And though he says he’s straight, it seems Anthony may have a soft spot and possessive streak for this smart-mouthed twink. Because as war between rival gangs escalates, things between Anthony and I start to heat up. And I think I’d rather like to sit on the king’s lap to watch it all burn.

Story
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof. Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one. He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem! Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered. The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.

I did something stupid. Something needlessly, hopelessly stupid, and now my past is catching up with me. I knew when I saw that cash, I should have left it alone, but I needed it. And doesn’t the world owe me a little bit of luck? A little reprieve from the constant BS? Sorry. I can’t help but to rant about my situation because the truth is that I am royally screwed. You see, I stole money from the mob. One stupid decision made in the heat of the moment, and now I’m running for my life.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

After giving twelve years of my life to the service, I didn't just lose my leg. I lost everything, including my career. When the dust settled, the only person still standing by my side in the rubble was Brandt—the single lifeline I had left to a world I didn't want to live in anymore. With painstaking care, he healed my body and my mind. When he eventually started healing my heart, I realized I didn't just need him in my life, I needed him in ways I'd never wanted him before.

As the former mayor of Smoky Vale, I hinged my campaign on getting rid of all bikers. They are everything that's wrong with our town. Everywhere they go they breed crudeness, chaos, and carnage. Then my son fell in love with not one, but two of them. Now I have no choice but to interact with the very people I tried to take down. My disapproval of their lifestyle wavers when a spawn of Goliath backs me into a wall, kisses me senselessly, and makes it clear in the most vulgar way possible what he wants to do to me.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

What's a superhero to do when his own family sees his powers as unimpressive and he's fifth in line for the throne? Set my sights on getting space married to a hot alien, of course! For science. Ziggy Andromeda is a skinsuit-stealing mercenary who's so far out of my league, he might as well be in another galaxy, but there's nothing I love more than a challenge. And his spaceship has only one bed! Unfortunately, a home planet conspiracy is threatening our besties-with-benefits situationship, along with my dream of putting a Saturn-sized ring on it and locking Ziggy down for good. Rude.

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

This week hasn’t gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires don’t stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake. But as the alpha’s son, I have a plan to fix everything. I’m going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together. I mean… what could go wrong?

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed this story and the narration was excellent! The characters are well developed and the storyline is smoking hot! There is a connection to the book Cuddle Bear, but the tone is very different as the dynamic between the main characters is on a different spectrum altogether. I highly recommend this book!

I loved this book. Keval Shah's voice really brings this story to life. Albion Guthrie is not nice to Wade Lee Sawyer at all. In fact he hates him. The contract they signed has nothing to do with love and kindness. Could the hate turn to love or is there no chance at all?

The Ownership Clause
Welp, this just shot to my number one favourite book from this very talented duo. (Admittedly I have about twenty number one favourites but who says there can be only one? This isn’t Highlander.)
This hit every single one of my buttons and I didn’t want to put the book down. I’m sad it’s over.
I loved listening to Keval perform the narration as well.
Highly recommend.

Perfect
Albion and Wade are perfect for each other. At first I didn't like how much hate Albion had for Wade but I definitely liked how their relationship progressed. Sweet sweet Wade would do anything for his Sir. I loved the ending. Keval did an amazing job as usual.

The Ownership Clause
This is a hot and heavy story about two enemies that find that their relationship is so much more than what they thought it was. Albion find this out when he begins to spend more time with Wade. He begins to see the true person that Wade is and it is nothing like he thought. They each are dealing with their own insecurities and learn lessons of their own but when it comes time to step up and fight for what they truly want both men must decide if they want to grab hold or let go. I enjoyed watching these two come to terms with their emotions and see their relationship turn into something deeper. Narrator Keval Shah does a good job of bringing the emotions to life and pulling the reader into the story.

Uhhh. I walked into this so so so blind..
And I’m glad I did. Narrator was top notch! The spice was spicy and very true-like to a lot of BDSM I’ve read. It’s not just spice but it’s an intricate story of complicated feelings. A lot of internalized dislike that comes out in nervous moments.
It’s the grumpy boss, nervous employee that gets me. I love all the build up and angst and this one delivered! Fantastic!

Once again, Meg and Ki, can do no wrong! I loved everything about Albion and Wade. The story was great and the steam was drool worthy. As far as the narration goes, Keval Shah could call me shoe licker all day long and I wouldn't be mad!

Captivating
This was tantalizing seeing Albion and Wade grow and bond together. They were exactly what the other needed. The rough spots only made the rest so good and precious. I liked Albion being vulnerable to Wade and his needs.
I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this audio and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did an exceptional job bringing the characters and story to life. Wonderful accents and expression.

Hate to love
I loved this book so much. Albion knew he wasn't being a "good" Dom in the beginning but he didn't want to be since he was punishing Wade Lee. I love how everything changed and Albion realized not everything was how he thought. I think Keval did a wonderful job narrating. Ki Brightly and M.D. Gregory did an amazing job on this book.
