Story
Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

Six years ago, Jasper Des Moines traded in the only life he knew. In order to keep a promise and a secret, he walked from the only man he’d ever loved. Now, he has a career in need of constant defending, a best friend who knows nothing about his past, and a husband he should love. He has the life he believes he deserves. Until one day, the unfinished business he left behind catches up with him, and he’s faced with the one man he’d never been able to resist or forget.

Story
It's official: my step bro is the biggest himbo ever to himbo. He's a massive blond beefcake with a soft heart and an over-eager smile. The mere sight of him incites a shaking hot rage in me. He's everywhere. He's around me all the time. So sweet and gentle that it makes me feel wild. I see him and smell him everywhere. When I can't see him or smell him, I hear him. The wall between our bedrooms is paper thin. I can't help it—I hear what he does in his room when he thinks he's alone. I hear everything.

Story
As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I've made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son's best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip... alone. What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua went off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend. Quinn may be young, but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I've never experienced before.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

He's a bad man, and I don't mean trash like your ex. I mean seriously bad. I mean dangerous. You can tell just by looking at him: black eyes, a menacing scowl, and a nose that's been badly broken in the past. He is my arch-nemesis. My mortal enemy. My singular obsession. I was afraid of him when we met. He kidnapped and chained me to a bed. Me—Damon Alexander Beckett of BeckIT fame and fortune. Well, the joke's on him because I'm going to make it my life's mission to destroy him. But first, I have to survive being his captive.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Publisher's summary
Correctional officers get a bad rep. But in our case, it’s fully justified. We’re not good people. We’re guard dogs. As twisted as the inmates we patrol, courtesy of the monster who created us.
Prisoners ourselves on an island of manipulation, we’ve spent years drowning in vices to dull reality. If these walls could talk, I’m telling you, they’d scream. They call me Velle, but that’s Officer Chevelle to you. Hands dirtier than my mind, I have no qualms with staying ruthless to keep these creatures in line. And I’m not alone.
Joy Jameson is my partner in crime, and my ex. Together, we rule Alabaster Isle like Bonnie and Clyde, only prettier and far more dangerous. It’s the two of us against this wicked, secluded world. Until he shows up....
Although we need him, the rookie is a problem. Flipping me upside down, using my own hidden desires to tempt me. Rook, with his green eyes and country boy smile. He has no business luring me into something that will get everyone hurt.
Let it be known, denying myself while dominating this role is my default setting. But with him in the picture, I’m struggling to keep it intact. The mask is slipping, control I can’t lose wavering as we welcome our newest psycho to the roster.
Let’s hope, for all our sakes, Inmate #101 doesn’t do anything stupid.
Joyless is a MMF romance in the Alabaster Pen world. While it explores new characters, it is advised to listen to Distorted first to prevent spoilers.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

At twenty-two, free-spirited Amber Farrow has no concerns beyond finishing her final year of nursing on exchange in Australia. What she hasn't counted upon is crossing paths with Griffin Lee. Amber and Griffin's two hearts are clearly made for each other. But where Griffin is inclined to put down roots, Amber has always been a citizen of the world, treading lightly upon the earth, never staying too long in one place. Before long, Amber's inability to be still leaves Griffin behind.

Story
This is Alabaster Penitentiary…where they send you when the world thinks you’re dead. And trust me, you’ll wish you were. We’re the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I’m just a lowly bank robber. I don’t belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse…At least, I don’t think I do.

Story
Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Story
Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

I avoid him. Every time Kepler Quinn steps into a room, I get the hell out. He does...something to me. When those discerning gray eyes flick toward me, his brow rising in a silent greeting, there’s a tightening of my abs. A zapping hum quivering low along my spine. There are about a million reasons it shouldn’t be what the little voice in the back of my head insists...a crush. Because Kepler isn’t just some random guy. He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also my TA for physics this semester. And also...a guy.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

Velle, Rook and Cherry
"𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨..." 𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚. "𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙩. 𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡."
Alabaster Penitentiary is a wild and twisted place where the unexpected happens at every turn and no one, not even the guards, are unaffected by its craziness.
John Chevelle, aka Velle, can not believe when his almost one-night stand, Harley "Rook", shows up on the isle as the new prison guard. Joy can tell something is going on between Velle and Rook and as she works her magic to get them together she gets pulled into their orbit.
WOW!!!! It has taken me a while to finally get the words together to write this review. I am blown away again by this place. I went through every emotion listening to this book including shedding tears. After the first book, I couldn't give you two cents for Velle but he was redeemed completely. The chemistry and imagination Velle, Rook and Cherry have together is unreal. I can not wait for more from Alabaster Pen.
Sebastian Grove, Silas Hart and Melisandre Verte are all brand new narrators for me and I loved all three of them. All of them did an amazing job of bringing the characters and story to life while perfectly conveying all the emotions of the story.
Get ready for... mmf, dark, workplace, first times, interracial, law enforcement, BDSM, told in the first-person multiple points of view.

I love this series!!
The one reason I've been keeping my Audible subscription has been for Nyla K! I absolutely love this series (currently reading Fragments). I think the best part of these audiobooks is Nyla K picks the perfect narrators for her books. These narrators truly bring these characters to life. I can't wait for Brainwashed to be out of audiobook!

So refreshing and eye opening
5/5⭐️ 5/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
Audiobook review: I could not stop listening to Joyless. It was so cool to be on the flip side of Alabaster Pen , seeing everything from the guards’ povs. I don’t want to give any spoilers but I’ll just say that everything is not as it seems in Distorted. There is a whole web of secrets. And seeing things from the other side was absolutely eye opening.
The spice. Off the charts. Nobody does it like Nyla. All the spicy chili peppers.
The relationships and takeaway…beautiful.
As to not give spoilers, that’s all I can say for now. But I definitely enjoyed this book and recommend 100%!
Favorite Quotes:
“You beg so good, Officer.”
Remember that whole thing I said about how being in love makes you stupid? Well, color us all the perfect shade of moron.
“You’re my greatest weakness…” he tells me with wonder in his tone. “But I think I want it. Knowing you’ll catch me makes me want to fall.”

Absolutely wonderful
I absolutely love this series. I love the mystery of the island and the people that unravels with each book. I absolutely love it when someone that has been presented as bad is shown to have good traits after all . The romance is wonderful and the sexy scenes are very well written. I wish I could find more authors like Nyla K, ones who know how to write an interesting story and keep me coming back for more. Truly wonderful series. It is going to be maddening waiting for the rest in the series. I will have to break down and try to find time to read them before audio comes out because I can stand the wait. Narrators were perfect, I felt like they were the actual characters. I highly recommend the series be read in order as suggested. You won’t regret using credits on these books.

Intense
The relationship was done in a way that felt right. Even when there was a MMF scene the men focused on each other but in a way that didn't make you fill like like Joy was forgotten. Even when Joy is considered a part of the relationship the men still think of each other first. It was done in a way that wasnt demeaning to Joy and it made me see how much the two men actually care for each other. I had problems listening to this book compared to the last because of Velles story. I was so uncomfortable every time his chapters came up that I almost stopped listening multiple times. Im looking forward to the next book and seeing what comes next. I didn't expect to get attached to these characters like I did and didn't expect to want to see them all together. Overall the books romance is flushed out and not what most would expect. The story is extremely dark but if you know your triggers this book is worth buying.

AMAZING! So good!
Listened to the audio in Aug 2023: OUTSTANDING!! The narrators did such a good job bringing these characters to life. I enjoyed this more as an audiobook vs reading the words (that is typical for me though). I can't wait to add this into my annual relisten rotation!!!!
Original review from reading the book:
Another book in the win column. This one starts a few months before book 1 starts and then runs concurrently with book 1. We go through the same situations but told and seen through different points of view. This book answers some of our lingering questions from book 1, so I was happy about that. And the author has promised that future books will have more answers.
This book tackled a lot of complex topics. All of the guards are so broken and on the island for a reason. This book takes us on the journey of 3 of them: Velle, Rook, and Joy. We find out what happened in their lives that led to them being employed at the prison. We learn about the history between Vella and Joy. We learn more about the creepy warden. There is a lot of storytelling in this book vs action/dialogue. We spend a lot of time in the characters heads. When we aren't in the heads, we are in their pants (hahahaha). This one felt a little long for what needed to happen in this book, but again we have been promised by the author that all the scenes are deliberate and needed to tell future stories. We shall see!!!
I just love this depraved world that Nyla has given us. I love the characters and I look forward to almost every interaction regardless of which character it is. The one exception is the warden. I could have done completely without all of his scenes. They are important to why Velle is the way he is and very important to his character ARC, but I hate that man. I am interested how Nyla plans to tease more of his story that is coming in book 5.
I am fascinated by a story between Darcey and Dr. Love BUT I need me some more Ren and Luthor!!!!!!!!! I would also love for Velle, Rook, and Joy to visit Kemper and Dash. I want to see how they would all interact together outside of a prison setting (if its even possible).
Anyway, loved this installment. Impatiently waiting for book 3 and 4.
