My Fiery Opal

By: Jessie Called

Narrated by: Daphne Winters, Dameon Knight

MY FIERY OPAL will make you ugly cry…but not because it’s tender and sweet.

This steamy contemporary love story is emotionally scarring, soul-crushing, and will shred your heart.

BECKHAM:
I have one rule–I don’t do love, romance, or relationships.
That is, until I find myself softening…for her.

RINOA:
I have one rule–I promised myself I would never be in a relationship again.
I’ve been there/done that.
There is no way I’m falling for the darkly menacing, alpha male, hot as sin… Beckham Stone.

RINOA:
After I get home from seeing the girls, my phone pings. It’s a text from Beck.

Beck: Send me your address
Beck: I’ll pick you up at 7p tomorrow
Me: Where are you taking me?
Beck: Where do you want to go?
Me: Where do you normally take your DATES?
Beck: I don’t DATE
Me: Ok where would be your usual pre-hook-up dinner?
Beck: I have a few places in mind
Me: Great. I don’t want to be anywhere near any of those places

I see dots appear, but disappear. Then appear again, then disappear. It takes a few minutes, but my phone eventually dings.

Beck: Change of plans
Beck: Not doing ‘dinner’
Beck: We’re going on a date
Beck: This is nonnegotiable
Me: ?
Me: On one condition…. Are you finally going to tell me why you call me Opal?
Beck: Re-read my previous text. This is nonnegotiable
Me: Re-read MY previous text. I want to know why you call me Opal

Silence

Beck: Fine. 7p tomorrow

Just as good as the written book

I read the paperback a few months ago, and it has stuck with me as one of my favorites of the year. So I was happy to find out there was an audiobook now. The narrators captured Becks roughness and Rin’s feistiness. Their back and forth banter was great. And the ending was just as good in the audio version.
