    The Kokuran , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 631min
    Astrid, a naïve teenage girl, marries Philip, her prince charming who loves and praises her yet later abuses and tries to break her. However, fate then steps in and reveals the lie that gives her strength and the wings to fly, ultimately freeing her from the grip of despair from a marriage steep in ill repair. In the aftermath of her tumultuous marriage and the divorce that follows, Astrid is left unsure of her identity and confused about relationships and her own sexuality. While her exterior is perfectly picturesque, with beauty, intelligence, and a successful career, her interior is severely flawed beyond her awareness. Thus begins her compelling journey of personal growth and self-discovery. In her efforts to transcend her life, she vows to never love, play the victim, or be powerless in relationships again. She liberally sheds her innocence and engages in pleasures from all facets of relationships. It's during these exploits that she unwittingly falls in love with Joey. Their relationship is fiery, passionate, sexually explosive, and all-encompassing of everything she desires in a man, but then it unravels and implodes, leaving her in a deep, dark emotional abyss. But just when she thinks her life is over, she emerges as the Kokuran and discovers the essence of who she is - mysterious, beautiful, audacious, and powerful. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Olivia has one wish-to find a partner who will do consensual non-consent scenes with her. She thought she'd found the perfect man, but he turned out to be more dud than Dom. When their relationship implodes, she moves out, and moves in with her friend Cade. He's happy to have her, but living with him won't be easy. It was easier to ignore her feelings for him, and the fact that he'd always been her ideal Dom, when she'd had a boyfriend. But he'd stopped doing CNC after a scene had gone wrong, so she'd set her sights elsewhere. Cade has his own problems. He's been in love with Olivia since they met, but when she started dating someone else, he put his feelings aside and focused on being her friend. But now that she's single again, he's not going to let opportunity pass him by. He's happy to set her straight about his feelings on CNC play-totally still into it, but won't do casual scenes-and more than eager to make all her kinky dreams come true. Olivia finally has the kind of kinky relationship she's always wanted, and her feelings for Cade only grow stronger as time goes on. But when her ex reappears to explain why he ended their relationship, she wonders if she's mistaking her happiness with their CNC play for love-and worries that Cade might be doing the same...

    Since childhood Nila Carter has been made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison; as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive. When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila's brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he's ever seen, the rabies-like virus is not just deadly; it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected. Following her brother's advice, Nila begins to stockpile. After months of preparing, just as it seems the virus is over, everything implodes, and Bobby tells his family to leave the city. With her family, Nila heads to the mountains and to her father's isolated land. There she is eventually joined by friends and strangers, all hoping to safely stay clear of the virus that grips the world. The plan is to wait until the virus burns out. While there, the group forms a tight bond, feeling secure that they will beat the extinction event and in due course return home. As time moves on, Nila quickly learns there are things they cannot run from, and a virus is one of them. Despite how prepared they are, how secure the land, each day brings a new threat and a painful reality that not only is returning home a pipe dream, but the likelihood of all of them surviving is increasingly growing slim. ungekürzt.

    Love Pixies: Laugh out Loud Paranormal Chick Lit Romantic Comedy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min
    For three lifelong best friends, a college graduation trip to Ireland is supposed to be their last hurrah before starting their jobs, and taking on the stresses and responsibilities of adult life. Heather, Tiffany, and Amanda are on a mission to turn the Emerald Isle upside down...or at least wreak a little havoc, drink a wee bit too much, and kiss hunky Irish boys...before returning to their hometown of Chicago.When Rhiannon, a powerful fairy, pays a surprise visit to their adorable, thatched-roof rental cottage in County Clare, and persuades them to sign one-year Love Pixie contracts, their lives are drastically altered. Newly armed with fantastical superpowers, charmed necklaces, and the ability to turn ordinary substances into enchanted pixie dust, the girls join together to fight "love crime" and help assigned couples on the brink of disaster build bridges back to happiness. It all sounds quite exciting, until they realize that learning how to use powerful magic is not only time consuming, overwhelming, and confusing - it’s not easy to hide from their family, co-workers, and most importantly - potential love interests.To complicate matters even more, the trio is repeatedly tempted by the fairy’s rebellious sister, Aideen, who challenges them to break the rules. Perhaps if they listen to the "bad fairy" they can finish their assignment quicker...and get back to work...and play...before anyone is the wiser.However, the girls were raised to know that there are consequences to bad behavior - at least in the non-magical world. Afraid to ask if there is such a thing as magical jail, the two more sensible Pixies hope to rein in their most wayward partner - before their contracts are terminated...and their couple’s relationship implodes into a pile of ordinary dust. ungekürzt.
