About this listen
I don’t want Jason Vega. Not at all. It’s the worst idea ever. Ah, hell...
Jason is handsome. Smart. Dangerous. Hot. He’s goddamn gorgeous - but he’s also sleeping on the street, hanging out with the local biker gang, and selling his body for a living.
Our lives, our paths, couldn’t be further apart. I’m crawling toward the light while he’s falling into the dark.
But it doesn’t matter how different we are or what logic dictates.
I really shouldn’t want Jason Vega - but I just can’t stop.
He’s under my skin and sinking deeper....
Trigger warning: violence and sexual abuse. This is a M/M (gay) romance that tells the story of Jason and Raine, who appeared in the Damage Control series. It is super hot and angsty and violent but with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Story
Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

Story
Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

There's me: Micah Owens. Tattoo artist at Damage Control. No parents or siblings. A past that still gives me nightmares. And then there's her: Evangeline, the girl who saved my life and haunts my more pleasant dreams. Only she doesn't know who I really am, and telling her might well send her fleeing for the hills. She deserves better than a loser like me. She's pretty. She's clever. She's goddamn sexy and has a heart of gold. Which is why I can't tell her.

After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write. Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...

In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a lifelong penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send 10 drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman”, so I’d like to die now.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
The memory of Josiah DeMille has haunted me for close to a decade. The way he looked. The way he smelled. The way his lips felt pressed against mine, even when they shouldn't have been. The one person I've never been able to get over. The one singular part of my past I've never been able to move on from. In every lyric sung into the microphone, in every chord strummed on the guitar, in the bottom of every single whiskey bottle, he's there. His memory has me in a chokehold. His absence a gaping hole in my chest. I gave up years ago, wondering if I'd ever stop thinking about him.

He's a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he's looking for a nanny - and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he's a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this.

The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend, Landry, to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates. Riley's always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure.

Dessert for my ears...
I loved this book as the writing was interesting and not a canned repeat like romance novels can tend to be. I actually bought this because I absolutely adore Iggy Toma's voice and I'm a total sucker for it. I previously listened to Teddy Hamilton in another series and enjoyed his voice as well. But together? I enjoyed it so much that it kept me awake. I just wanted to hear their voices and discover how they chose to portray the characters. Absolutely worth the time to listen to and I'll certainly listen to it again soon. ♥️

Real Life
I absolutely love any book Teddy voices in, but both VA's worked so well on their parts. I think the casting was perfect and each VA has such expressive voices with how they read. It's not someone telling a story, it's the character actively showing it through sound. The spicy parts alsoooo were perfect. 🥰
Something I want to highlight is the slice of Life this book gave. Sure these kind of books often have a story told with things that may not really happen in real life. Everything is not fairytale ending. This book worked well with this idea. It gave slice of life but also gave a feeling that life isn't always a shit storm, and that it can get better over time. As long as you have people around you that care about you or accept help where it's given, you could be okay. It's always okay to ask someone for help if you need it, you don't have to go through things alone. 🤍

Overly wordy, incredibly slow
Transparency statement - I only bought this book because of the narrators. During the last big Audible sale, I focused on narrators I enjoy, and for that alone, the book was worth it. Both Toma and Hamilton deliver as expected. Too bad the author didn't. I haven't read any other titles by this author, and TBH, if this title is any indication, I won't seek out another. I've told people that I could probably listen to these two read the phone book and be ok with it. At times during this book, I would have likely preferred the phone book.
The author uses the alternating voices format which, when done very well is enjoyable. When you have an author who writes like she is paid by word, you might be in trouble. I am all for a slow burn, I am all for dark plot. However, plodding is not acceptable. Raven starts with all the tropes - abandoned children, and also foster children, internalized anger, misplaced rage, tattoos, Mexican gangs and prostitutes with hearts of gold. In the world of fast fiction, like fast fashion, there aren't many original ideas - it all rests on the execution. This book might be part of a series - I don't know and I don't care. there are so many side characters. Rather than focusing on a smaller world for Rain and Jason to inhabit, Raven throws as many people in as she can. Rather than build on a specific plot, all kinds of nonsense is going on. This story could have focused solely on Jason "pimp" or Rain's father, or developed how they were connected. Instead the author waives a magic wand and generic terms like mob or cartel are expected to suffice. There is a very undeveloped "club" where bad things happen, but we don't know much about it. What is even worse is the painfully slow and unnecessarily drawn out love story. Every chapter is one of the guys second guessing and lashing out at the other tothe point that it was laughable.
Let's be clear, it didn't have to be this way. There are some clever elements that show that Raven is more than capable of delivering the goods. The fact that Jason has all but given up on his own sexual fulfillment was a smart twist. I realized when the exact same games were still going on after 6 hours(!) of listening that I was in trouble. The areas where the story didn't come together overshadowed much of the plot. We never fully understand Rain's parents motivations or what they are up to when they return - they could have been a much more insidious presence rather than a just a couple of small scenes. Same for Jason's pimp. I won't reveal the big reveal - but it still didn't answer the questions of why he was able to control Jason as he did. Then there are things like Jason sleeping in alleys and never eating, the beating and abuse - yet still commanding pretty high prices for his services. I suspect that if he was really caked in blood and vomit, he wasn't getting any work, let alone $40-$100 range for his services.
As often is the case, I do not believe for minute there was an editor, and anyone who says they were the editor was only looking for typos, not contest. A good editor would have slashed a 200 pages and a dozen characters. As this was a title I purchased for under $4, I am only feeling about $3 overcharged. I would not recommend.

I loved the story. It kept me interested and wanting to know what happened next. But the narration was hard to follow the voices at times. Also. The voice of Jason seemed older than it should have. But that could just be my idea.

This was every bit of MM goodness that I wanted and expected it to be. Jo Raven is a new to me author, and I loved her writing! There were a ton of side-characters with their own books, but it didn't bug be anything as it usually does. Jason and Rain were brought brought life with both their back stories, and by the narration of the audiobook. I was rooting for them from the get-go, and live to see how it all came together for them. I'm excited to read more by this author.

Jagged Edge
This is a stand-alone spin off book from the Damage Control series. Rain and Jason both have had rough lives growing up. Rain luckily had his brother Ocean to help him out. Jason was not so lucky. Jason was living on the streets as a prostitute. When Simon came into town and started controlling the streets things got worse. Jason worked himself into the ground just to pay for all of his friends to get off the streets and start new lives. Rain and Ocean were finally able to put a stop to Simon’s rule and get Jason and his friends off the streets for good. This is a dark MM romance. It may contain triggers for some. I am now going to go and check out the Damage Control series. Teddy Hamilton and Iggy Toma did a fantastic job narrating this book.

loved it!
I love me some Teddy, so that is the initial reason I started this book. Overall I loved it. My biggest criticism was that the story got a little repetitive in the middle, but the ending (although a little rushed) is worth it!
