Blood Betrayal: Blood Curse Series, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
Saxson Olaru is one of the select, the few, the elite.... As a ruthless sentinel sworn to protect the ancient Vampyr king and the house of Jadon, he has "HOJ" literally inscribed on his heart: a heart that was tragically broken centuries earlier, when human hunters slayed his mother and Dark Ones murdered his father. Having survived the unthinkable, he never dreamed he would come this close to another human predator, let alone a female pretending to be his destiny. Kiera and Kyla Sparrow are twin sisters: humans, living very different lives. While Kiera is selfless, clever, and talented, Kyla is dark, duplicitous, and damaged - she belongs to a secret society of vampire-hunters, and she has sworn to destroy as many as she can. When Saxson's Blood Moon appears in a February sky, and the matching constellation, Cetus the Sea Monster, appears on Kiera's wrist, Kyla knows exactly what it means: The celestial gods have chosen her beautiful sister to be the eternal mate of an immortal vampire - she just doesn't know which one. And it really doesn't matter. If Kyla can recreate the sacred emblem on her own inner wrist, she can take Kiera's place and commit the ultimate Blood Betrayal. When duty, obedience, and honor clash with a deep, gnawing intuition, an honor-bound warrior will be forced to choose between allegiance to the house he loves and the quiet voice within, whispering: "Warning!" One wrong move One wrong choice And all will be lost forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/090156/bk_acx0_090156_sample.mp3.

Traded. Dru had been traded by her captain to the Alliance Empire. She and the rest of the female crew from the human starship Dakota were to be married off, as the Alliance was suffering from a demographics issue - there weren’t enough Alliance women. Dru didn’t care what kind of problems the Alliance had. She didn’t come this far, in her short life, to end up as a grey alien man’s slave, no matter how powerful his civilization was. But that was the problem. Humans were next to nothing, and the Alliance Empire ruled the galaxy. But Dru has an advantage to aid her escape, she is telepathic.Ket of Imperial House Vo had not thought much about the human women being brought to the Alliance, until his eyes rested on the young, red-haired beauty, and he knew it was the gods’ will that she become his wife. He would make her submit to his strict Alliance culture and humbly accept her new life in the empire. He knew from the moment he saw her picture that she was his destiny.The Alliance Series is set in a fictional future, where humans are small-time players in the big-time galaxy. There are no heroes or women being rescued; instead, listeners are led through an intricate maze of alien-courting customs, duplicitous and strict religious codes, vicious culture shock, and uncomfortable compromises.

Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min, (USK 18)
As a man, when you decide that you want to express your romantic or sexual desires, interests, and intentions to a woman, how do you go about communicating those desires and interests to her? Do you communicate your desires and interests to women in a cautious, vague, ambiguous, or "beat around the bush" manner? Do you avoid approaching women and avoid initiating conversations with women altogether? Do you regularly cheat on your wife or girlfriend behind her back? Are you currently filled with so much bitterness, misogyny, and resentment toward women that you have no desire whatsoever to even interact with them? In the audiobook version of Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're Really Thinking, author and professional dating coach Alan Roger Currie describes and examines what he refers to as the "Four Modes of Verbal Communication". Currie makes the strong argument in his audiobook that the most effective interpersonal communication style that a man can exhibit with a woman is MODE ONE behavior, which represents when a man expresses his romantic or sexual desires, interests, and intentions to a woman in a manner that is bold, highly self-assured, up front, specific, and straightforwardly honest. Currie harshly criticizes the idea of men maintaining disingenuous platonic friendships with women (what Currie refers to as "FunClubbin"), and he also points out that many men and women tend to exhibit behavior that is very duplicitous, dishonest, disingenuous, misleading, and manipulative when interacting with members of the opposite sex in today's dating scene. Currie invites his male listeners to take notes while listening to each and every chapter (preprinted notes are available at modeone.net/journal/). Warning: Some chapters in the audiobook include explicit language. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Roger Currie.

Righteous Rule: Righteous Reign, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
Admiral Kurt Brubacher spins the logs, reports, and history of the Orion Federation into a spellbinding action saga that starts nearly three years after the end of Righteous Reign. The opening volleys in a new war had just been fired. Back then, thousands of warships had suddenly occupied positions along more than 100 light years of the Federation's border. George Bryant had dubbed this enigmatic enemy "The Inscrutables". Both forces continually move and countermove in an attempt to gain tactical advantage over the massive chessboard. Periodically, this mysterious foe has launched vicious suicidal attacks. But Admiral George Bryant's Mobile Fifth RAC forces are only permitted to defend, never allowed to retaliate. It would offend the neighboring CauDo to pursue these cunning antagonists in their territory. All the while, half a trillion Orion Federation citizens attempt to maintain a semblance of normalcy despite the strain. But George is not alone. It is Kurt who comes up with a deceitful plan. In heart-stopping, pulse-pounding fashion, he shifts listeners back and forth through time as he shuffles us through successive battles, each more dangerous and complex than the preceding one. And, in the middle of it all, the Federation faces a predicament as serious as the impasse that led to a past civil war, just as one hero's most euphoric moment transforms into his greatest anguish. In the end, it's all up to Admiral Bryant. He must execute the duplicitous scheme that's concocted to rid the Federation of the Inscrutables. If he's triumphant, he will vanquish the fiercest enemy they have ever confronted. Being wrong means the end of the Orion Federation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas J. MacDonald.

Black Dahlia & White Rose: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
A wildly inventive new collection of stories by Joyce Carol Oates that charts the surprising ways in which the world we think we know can unexpectedly reveal its darker contours.... The New York Times has hailed Joyce Carol Oates as "a dangerous writer in the best sense of the word, one who takes risks almost obsessively with energy and relish."Black Dahlia & White Rose, a collection of 11 previously uncollected stories, showcases the keen rewards of Oates's relentless brio and invention. In one beautifully honed story after another, Oates explores the menace that lurks at the edges of and intrudes upon even the seemingly safest of lives - and maps with rare emotional acuity the transformational cost of such intrusions. Unafraid to venture into no-man's-lands both real and surreal, Oates takes readers deep into dangerous territory, from a maximum-security prison - vividly delineating the heartbreaking and unexpected atmosphere of such an institution - to the inner landscapes of two beautiful and mysteriously doomed young women in 1940s Los Angeles: Elizabeth Short, otherwise known as the Black Dahlia, victim of a long-unsolved and particularly brutal murder, and her roommate Norma Jeane Baker, soon to become Marilyn Monroe. Whether exploring the psychological compulsion of the wife of a well-to-do businessman who is ravished by, and elopes with, a lover who is not what he seems, or the uneasily duplicitous relationships between young women and their parents, Black Dahlia & White Rose explores the compelling intertwining of dread and desire, the psychic pull and trauma of domestic life, and resonates at every turn with Oates's mordant humor and her trenchant observation. ungekürzt.
