In a flash she is whisked away to a new life of drudgery at Grimm House where she waits on not one but two persnickety old aunts. As she grudgingly fulfills their commands of cooking, cleaning, and even after-dinner-dancing, she comes to suspect the aunts are really witches who are scheming to take the thing she loves best.

Stone Cold Bastards , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
Only a rag-tag team of gargoyles stands between humanity and extinction. Hell has released its ravening horde of demons, leaving most of humanity a puke-spewing, head-spinning mess of possession. Humanity's last hope? A team of misfit gargoyles - including a cigar chomping, hard-ass grotesque - come alive and ready for battle during the End of Days. They guard the last cathedral-turned-sanctuary atop a bald knoll in the North Carolina mountains. Gargoyle protection grudgingly extends to any human who can make it inside the sanctuary, but the power of the stonecutter blood magic, which protects the sanctuary, may not be enough when a rogue grotesque and his badly-wounded ward arrive. All the hounds of hell are on their heels. The last sanctuary is about to fall. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Hays.

Seduction and Snacks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 600min
Claire is a 20-something, single mom who grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he's asleep) toddler a better life. When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time. With Carter's undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire's panic that her stretch marks and slim-to-none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after. Warning: Contains explicit sex, profanity, and enough sarcasm to choke a horse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Romy Nordlinger.

Secrets of the Sideshows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
The carnival sideshows of the past have left behind a fascinating legacy of mystery and intrigue. The secrets behind such daring feats as fire-eating and sword swallowing and bizarre exhibitions of human oddities as "Alligator Boys" and "Gorilla Girls" still remain, only grudgingly if ever given up by performers and carnival professionals. Working alongside the performers, Joe Nickell blows the lid off these mysteries of the midway. The author reveals the structure of the shows, specific methods behind the performances, and the showmen's tactics for recruiting performers and attracting crowds. He also traces the history of such spectacles, from ancient Egyptian magic and street fairs to the golden age of P.T. Barnum's sideshows. With revealing insight into the personal lives of the men and women billed as freaks, Nickell unfolds the captivating story of the midway show. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Carrico.

Crossing the Line: Cross Creek, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
Cocky farmer Eli Cross plays twice as hard as he works. When his latest stunt drums up a heap of negative PR for the family farm, he grudgingly agrees to play host to an ambitious New York City photographer. Her feature on Cross Creek could be just the ticket to show the country what the Cross brothers do best...which is more problem than solution for Eli. Scarlett Edwards-Stewart has photographed everything from end zones to war zones. She's confident she can ace this one little story to help her best friend's failing magazine. At least, she would be if her super-sexy host wasn't so tight lipped. But the more Scarlett works with Eli, the more she discovers that he's not who he seems. Can his secret bring them closer together? Or will it be the very thing that tears them apart? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christina Traister.

La Desperada , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 762min
The son of a preacher man, Boone Coulter carries the guilt of his sins and the assurance of his damnation on his shoulders, yet still is set on revenge. When Philadelphia-bred Elizabeth Dougherty breaks into the jail and holds him - a cold-blooded killer - at gunpoint, saying, "Take me with you," she has no idea the sheriff who wants her dead is Coulter's old enemy and now has double the reason to track her down and kill her. When Boone Coulter grudgingly agrees, he has no idea that this fiercely proper yet defiantly sensual Victorian woman will find the one vulnerable place in his heart and fan it to blazing life. Their wild leap of desperation into the Texas wilderness launches a passionate tale of love and sacrifice, and becomes the stuff of legend...the legend of La Desperada. Set in the Texas and New Mexico of Billy the Kid. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emma Galvin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/014596/bk_adbl_014596_sample.mp3.

Full Disclosure: Hollywood, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min, (USK 18)
Weddings are stressful under the best of circumstances, which this certainly isn't. Following the release of his debut movie, No Apologies, Greg Falkner is working hard to be a better man to fiancé Aaron Blake despite his baser instincts. When their alma mater contacts Greg and asks him to serve as their celebrity master of ceremonies for an upcoming charity event, he grudgingly accepts at Aaron's urging. Aaron admires the new man Greg has become yet craves the old independence of his lover. He'd love to strike a compromise in the relationship and hopes that returning to their beginning will help Greg lay some personal demons to rest. Neither man anticipates the violence that will befall one of them, potentially changing both lives in unimaginable ways. What emerges from the darkness, through frustrations and determination, is true deep love. Publisher's note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some listeners may find objectionable: male/male sexual practices. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Unladylike Pursuits , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 806min
She needs to find a husband but in truth would rather not. Miss Emily Sinclair has just answered the summons that will change her life. On the eve of spinsterhood, she is offered a month to find a willing gentleman or suffer a marriage to her stepmother's odious cousin. Neither choice seems palatable. He wants to remain a bachelor and is weary of marriage-minded misses. Lord Brandon Davenport has had more than enough of marriage - the infidelity, the gossip, the inconvenience. It has all reaffirmed his conviction to never involve himself in such a predicament. Of course, need and want are very different matters...or are they? When the two find themselves grudgingly paired in the ambush of highwaymen, temper is matched equally with desire, leading Emily to realize that Brand is the perfect prey for her husband hunt. But is Brand too cagey to be caught in her trap? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Klett. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/007416/bk_acx0_007416_sample.mp3.

Buck Johnson: Dragon Roundup , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
Buck Johnson: Dragon Roundup is the fifth short story (and maybe the best one yet) in the Buck Johnson series. A successful dragon drive two months ago should have filled Buck Johnson's and Skeeter Evans' pockets. And it did - for a few weeks. Now they're back to wrangling dragons to recoup their losses, attempting to round up unclaimed dragons in the mountainous Leptok Territory. But rogue dragons and just sheer bad luck make this little venture more challenging than either of them expected. That's why Buck grudgingly accepts help from Snort Jones, as well as from the Terullians Karlok and Xerlax, and welcomes an unsought and utterly unexpected development - something he thought was forever behind him. Think of Star Trek, The Rounders, and a little Lonesome Dove, all shaken together and poured out, and you'll have some idea of what you're about to taste when you step into Buck Johnson's life. It's a wild mix of fantasy, action/adventure, western, and science fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Roark.
