About this listen

Survival is all that matters in here.

Still, it gets tricky when evil lurks around every corner, wanting to play.

To the arsonist, everything is a game.

Warren Xavier is Alabaster Pen’s resident manipulative liar. The former pretty boy prince of Manhattan’s elite is now locked away with the rest of us. Nothing but time to sit and stew, scheme and obsess. And I’m the unlucky soul he’s made the object of his cunning affections.

On the outside, I would never entertain the kinds of things Ren wants from me. Unfortunately, being trapped for so long in such a hellish place can wear down even the strongest of minds.

I’d be a fool to fall into his mess of lustful deviance again. After all, I’ve been burned before.

But that silver tongue is wrapped right around my heart. The next time his flames engulf me, I might let them.

Prison life can be fun when you hold the handcuff keys in your sullied hands.

My skills give me power over guards, prisoners, and pretty much everyone. I control these men without lifting a finger. Maybe bending at the waist. But not him. Not the one I truly want.

Lex “Luthor” Deon is too perfect to be rotting in this dungeon. He’s a hacker, a genius; a shimmering diamond lodged in a dreary black pit of decay. Sweet, loyal, and inexperienced.

In short, he’s way too good for me.

But I’m too stubborn and volatile to ever let him go.

I won’t allow fragments of the past ruin us. When it all comes crumbling down, Lex will have to make a choice… Risk everything, or play it safe.

Whether he likes it or not, he wants to believe me…But sometimes even I can’t tell when I’m lying.

Fragments is a dark MM romance set in the world of Alabaster Penitentiary. While it follows a new couple with their own HEA, it is recommended to listen to the rest of the series first to avoid spoilers and get the full effect of the Isle. May contain sensitive subject matter. For CW's, visit author's website.

This series is so well done!!!

I originally read this book back in Oct 2023 and loved it so much! I knew I needed to experience it in audio since audio is my preferred form of reading. Both Devon and Harley are new narrators for me (that I can remember) and they did a fantastic job portraying these two characters. I felt all the emotions and love between Ren and Luth!

Here is my original review about the book:
WOW! I loved this book so much. This series is just top tier and one of my most favorite series. I love when series have individual couples for each book yet there is an interwoven plot and secrets throughout the entirety of the series. This is one of those where you have to read them all and in order. I will also say, I think most people would enjoy this book best if they have also read Double Edged - which has nothing to do with Alabaster Pen but the cameos in this book brought me such giddy joy (its not necessary but it was so cool to see those characters again and know the history and background of them already).

So this is Ren and Luthor's book. We have known them the entire time reading this series and this has been my most anticipated book in the series. I could not wait to learn more about these two characters and go on their journey of falling in love.

Ren and Luth's love was so genuine and beautiful. Nyla's writing is just spectacular. I cannot believe the stories she has been able to weave while all the main characters are essentially in a maximum security prison. The friendships, relationships, bromances, awakenings, self discovery journey's, mental health rep, etc is just FANTASTIC. I am so excited for this series to be wrapped up so I can read them back to back and pick up on ALL the little easter eggs woven into the books.

Shadowman is next. It will follow Trevel and Byron which we have met in this book. I am so interested to see how they end up falling for each other because they don't seem to care for each other in this book at all!

🖤🖤🖤

If you've read any of the Alabaster Pen books, you know who Lex and Ren are already. From the previous books we got snippets of their relationship, but this book was so much more. It is told in both the past and present while dipping into what the future books may look like. I loved the twists, the crumbs that were left for the future of the group, and the cameos from my fav Doubled Edge characters.

I hate waiting for last two books!

Every book has gotten better and better. This is spicy but the characters and plot along with the overall series arc is amazing! So glad I found this, it should be more popular then it is.....

Nerdy Boy x Homie Hopper

3 minutes. It only took Nyla K 3 minutes to make my jaw drop. Every time I’m taken back to Alabaster Pen, I know it’ll always be a wild ride.

Lex and Ren were like toxic little magnets. No matter how much Lex wanted to hate Ren, he never could. No matter how much Ren obsessed over Lex, he was always just out of reach. Ren was the homie hopper of Alabaster and just amused me so much. He’s blunt, I’ll mannered, lies like hell, and is unapologetically him, a total fckboy. I loved it. Lex was more reserved. A good boy, always seeking a friend and companionship. Such a sweetheart. His golden retriever energy had me instantly in love with him.

When they finally decided to give it their all, it was 𝒻𝒾𝓇ℯ𝓌ℴ𝓇𝓀𝓈! I couldn’t get enough of this couple. They were so filthy and sweet together. I can’t wait to see what the next installment brings us because in true Nyla fashion, she always drops something crazy on us right at the end.


Devon Ryder and Harley Chase did a good job on the dual narration. Although, at times it was hard to tell the voices apart. But they definitely delivered on all the emotion and alllll the spice in the book.

Not a Standalone!

I love this whole series. No spoilers here but it went in a direction that I didn't see coming. This book includes Ren & Lex's point of view from what happened so far in the series plus so much more. It ends in a cliffhanger that makes me excited and anxious for the next book in the series. There are many unanswered questions that I'm sure will be answered in time. I just hope we don't have to wait too long, but if we do, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Devon Ryder and Harley Chase both did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Sweet Flame/Baby Boy

Fragments-Nyla K
Narrated by Devon Ryder and Harley Chase

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧

Gah I loved Ren and Lex so much. Their push and pull back and forth banter was fun and sexy and devastating all at the same time. I loved that we got to see each of their timelines, even though we jump around a bit in time, we still get to see what happened prior to their getting to Alabaster, it’s a parallel timeline to the previous books so we get to see Dash and his prison break, and the development of Velle, Rook, and Joy’s relationship, and the carver and the psychologist, but we see all of this happening from Ren and Lex’s points of view. Nyla’s writing is just so good that she was able to weave this intricate web with all these characters and timelines and it is just so good.

Devon and Harley did so good. Individually their performances as Ren and Lex respectively were absolutely amazing. I do wish, however, that their voices were a little more different. It was hard to keep track of whose point of view I was listening to because the narrators sounded so similarly.

PERFECTION 10/10 vocal performance - my new favourite!

The voice acting was next level in this book- Devon Ryder did an amazing job as Ren, but Harley Chase is effing OUTSTANDING as Lex & had me in stitches with his snark & tremendous interpretation of the script. And then there are those 🥵 scenes where he leaves you writhing in your seat… its Chase’s colourful intonations & vocal expressions that had me listening to “just one more chapter” whenever I had to re-enter my “real world”. He’s now my top male narrator & I’ll be consuming any other titles he reads.

Nyla K reigns supreme in MM romance IMO & I am obsessed with Fragments. Lex & Ren’s story had me constantly thinking about them as I went about my day. There was tension galore & wretched obstacles for the couple that had my heart in a vice at times.
Can I just say that the intensity in the love scenes is so freaking satisfying that it rivals even that of my favourite book of all time, K’s stellar “For the fans”! Yum, yum, yum!
I wouldn’t change a single thing, this book is perfection, and I simply MUST have the next installment.
