Falling

Scared Sexy Collection

By: Christina Lauren

Narrated by: Marli Watson, Nicholas Boulton

One darkly seductive immortal’s powers of persuasion have worked flawlessly for nine centuries—until he meets the one woman who can resist him—in a wickedly hot short story by New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren.

Cat should be afraid of Brigan—the devastatingly gorgeous stranger at a Halloween party whose very presence makes everyone else fall at his feet. But while his supernatural allure drives others to mindless obsession, Cat somehow keeps her wits…even as she surrenders to temptation. When this cursed being realizes she alone can see his true nature, one night of searing passion could break a centuries-old spell—or doom them both.

Christina Lauren’s Falling is part of Scared Sexy, a deliciously dark collection of Halloween romance where things that go bump in the night might just steal your heart. These seductive stand-alone stories blend chills and heat in the perfect Halloween treat—each designed to be devoured in one sitting.

An average listen

It was a fine listen. It’s short and sweet but I will forget all of it tomorrow. The plot had potential but the execution was lazy. I know it’s a short but it could’ve had way more impact. The fallen angel thing was cool. 3 1/2 stars.

Great read

Love this! Wished for more at the end but that is the point of a short story! Ha!

Great short story

Great short read. Quick and easy but a little short on plot. Good for a quick read

Enjoyed story but wanted more

I enjoyed this story but it left me wanting more and feeling like I wanted At least one more chapter.

More please

This is a great short story. I’d like to hear more. Narration was good but (as been said forever) genders please do your own voices all the way through.
