His Ultimatum

By: P. Rayne

Narrated by: Rose Dioro, Marcio Catalano

No one knows what happens up at Midnight Manor.

The home of the Voss brothers sits like a sentinel looking down on our small town, remaining a mystery. The four brooding billionaires rarely leave the confines of the iron gates, fueling rumors that have existed for decades.

When my father dies, all the security I’ve known is ripped away, forcing me to come face to face with the eldest brother, Asher Voss. His outward beauty is just as I’d heard—it belies a predatory nature, irresistibly drawing me in.

A bargain is made, and I have no choice but to live in the shadowy confines of his gothic manor to save my family. As time passes, it becomes harder and harder to deny our attraction.

Asher Voss might be too old for me, and he’s definitely cursed by his own demons, but an inferno of passion between us threatens to either consume or destroy us both.

MOONLIT THORNS is a dark contemporary romance Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Nice story

I liked the story, but the male narrator didn’t fit the male characters gruff exterior.

Beauty and the beast vibes

He is so obsessed over her that he will do anything for her but keep her. She fought for him with everything she had and broke down his walls. This is going to be an amazing series!

A spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling!

This is the first book in three Midnight Manor series and it is so good! It is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but a gothic dark romance version.

Annabelle meets Asher Voss when she shows up at his estate to try to save her families home after her father’s passing. Asher makes a deal with her that if she works for him for a year then he will not take her families home. The twist though is she has to live at his estate and she can’t have her phone.

Annabelle and Asher have a bit of instant love but Asher tries hard to not act upon it. Annabelle eventually learns a huge Voss family secret which brings Asher and Annabelle together.

They both have intense chemistry and their journey and watching them both grow individually and together kept me wanting to keep reading to know what would happen next.

We are briefly introduced to the other Voss brothers and I can’t wait for the other books to learn more about them!

I really enjoyed the audiobook of this and loved the narrators! It was easy to follow along and kept me entertained!

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

THE SPICE ohhh THE SPICE

Overall, I'd give this a 4. The plot could have been improved upon, and the foundation of the relationship felt a bit rushed, but the audio performance deserves a 5! I enjoy Piper, and I think she writes really good "dark" material! I can't wait to get more of the brother's stories!
