Cursed: Smoke is a 20,000 word sexy side story related to the Cursed series. It is an alternate retelling of how Nick and Bane meet and is not part of the main Cursed timeline.
Nick Fairfax needs a sugar daddy to pay for his last year of art school. After being disinherited and kicked out of his house for pursuing his dream of becoming a photographer, Nick heads to the exclusive club, Smoke, where young men sell themselves to the highest bidder.
Nick gets in trouble with a man who won't take "no" for an answer. Lord Bane Dunsaney comes to his rescue. But does the mysterious billionaire pose a greater danger to Nick than the one he saved him from?

What is that supposed to mean? Those are the words Lucas Daniels hears before stumbling through the brass doors of the elegant Club Dyavol, a club that seems to appear out of nowhere. The club is his last hope of getting a job to escape his predatory stepfather’s home. Who would dare enter a vampire’s sanctuary uninvited? Count Konstantin “The Wolf” Volk may be weakened by a curse, but he is still a primal predator. And when he sees a young man venture into his club, bypassing all of his magical and physical protections, more than just his curiosity is aroused.

Historia
It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

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.

So much love
I cannot find words enough to say how very much I love this story and these characters. I have read the retelling and this side story was like a druggie getting their fix until the other story gets finished. Sooooo looking forward to that but this is a good fix and not to be missed. Enjoy the story it's worth it and then some.

Satisfying and Cute
As expected from X. Aratare, another wonderful, cute, and never shy story. I read the original Cursed and loved it very much and to hear this one was amazing.
Michael Pauley is an amazing narrator too! Oh, I enjoyed listening to him unfold the story. I love how his voice changes. I especially love it when he reads Bane's part, it was believable!
There are some parts where it got kind of awkward with the narrating, but I still enjoyed the story very much.
Thank you for existing X. Aratare and Michael Pauley!

"thanks for listen,I'm Michael Pauley fox news."
this was a good story although the narrator sounded like a news reporter at times I appreciated the effort, like when the story said a character laughed...he laughed, but this was a good short story and it made me want to get the actual book.

Ends on a cliffhanger...
Any additional comments?
Note, this ends on a cliffhanger, and because it is apparently "an alternate retelling of how Nick and Bane meet and is not part of the main Cursed timeline" there is not a follow up to continue the story.
Not that I'm sure I would want to, personally.
There were a lot of my personal pet peeves in this (purple prose, and a lot of "older man", "bigger man", "younger man"), as well as very little character development.
I haven't read the Cursed series, so I didn't understand much of what was happening, and the author didn't seem to take any time to try to explain to new readers what was going on. (i.e.: Did Bane own Smoke? Why was he "cat-like"?) and the "romance" was far too insta-loveish without really benefiting from an explanation of why Nick or Bane fell for each other, other than one erotically sexual night together.
I got this under the Whispersync deal, and Michael Pauley was at least entertaining to listen to, but I wouldn't recommend the story.
