About this listen

Raven Monroe:

I was meant to live my life in silence, but with the help of my three men, I’ve been able to break free of my cage and fly. Though life is unbelievably quieter for us now in New York, there is still just one… soft… lingering lullaby faintly composing itself in the back of my mind.

The altar awaits.

But a shallow grave sings louder.

And my Death Lullaby is swelling into a full symphony, dragging me back to a lonely mansion I once called ‘home.’

Some melodies are just meant to end in bloodshed.

after reading speak and stutter it was nice to get this novella just adding to their story and cleaning up a "loose end" and the spice was off the charts! ruby darling is an amazing author. Heather firth and Joe Arden are the perfect pairing for all 3 of these books. cant wait to read and listen to sabrinas story!

I enjoyed this from start to finish. Heather Firth was amazing and Joe Arden is a true chameleon his narration is stunning. I couldn’t imagine anyone else bringing these characters to life. I'm so sad it's over.

Brilliant!

Always by Ruby Darling is a dark why choose romance novella that I listened to on audio narrated by Heather Firth and Joe Arden. This is the third book in the Rayne-Moore University series.

This is the first series of Ruby's that I have read, and it definitely won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first book and couldn't wait to see how everything was going to play out. I loved the relationship between Raven, Damon, Jonas, and Maverick. I really enjoyed getting Raven, Damon, Jonas and Maverick's points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait to jump into the spin off series Duchess & Devils so I can get Sabrina's story.

OMG Heather and Joe were absolutely amazing on this book! They both really know how to bring a story to life and make you feel everything the characters are feeling. I don't think you could have casted this any better.

I would highly recommend this series if you're looking for a dark romance, why choose romance, or romantic suspense.

Always by Ruby M Darling is the novella that is part of the Tongueless duet. Before you dive into this novella you should read the previous books in this order, as they are interconnected and will spoil the stories for you. Book 1 is Speak, book 2 is Stutter, but I would urge you to read Scream as well, as the timeline of this novella falls within that timeframe and is connected to that story.
You are in for a spicy ride, when the “daddies” will treat you as the good girl that you are! Raven and her man were among my absolute favourite choices the whole time, and having some loose ends finalized was very satisfying.
Audiobook: narrated in Duet style by Joe Arden and Heather Firth this audiobook will ignite and make you sweat for how hot it is! Both narrators gave their all and are showing!

Hot hot hot

The whole series is my guilty pleasure and this novella is the ultimate happy ever after for Raven, Damon, Jonas and Mav, in a way that is totally them, so good, hot, and super spicy with a narration that is perfect as always for Ruby's books,

The ultimate HEA,
