Hamartia

An MM Rockstar x K-Pop Idol Romance (Famous Young Things)

De: Scarlett Drake

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

Raphael

We met once two years ago — a few awful moments I’d rather forget — but he’s lived in my head ever since. Lee Jaehyun. K-pop idol and star of every filthy fantasy I have these days.

I should be thinking about the fact we just won our first Grammy, I should be focussing on our next album. I should be planning my wedding. But I’m not; I’m thinking about him. About what his mouth might taste like and what that body might look like under those carefully curated clothes. About how he might feel in my arms and what my name might sound like from his mouth when he’s turned on.

I’m not sure what this is; the near obsession I have with this guy, but it’s burrowed itself deep and refuses to give an inch. I’ll go insane if I can’t have him just once. Once to scratch the itch, douse the flames.

Except, it turns out once isn’t enough, and it’s not dousing the flames it’s striking a match and I’m about to blow my entire life up.

Jaehyun

Raphael Scott is going to break my heart.

He’s an American rockstar, engaged to be married, and straight. He’ll get tired of whatever this is soon enough. Then he’ll go back to his beautiful actress girlfriend and I’ll be alone again. I’m fine with that.

But it doesn’t mean I won’t take what he’s offering me right now. His shining American smile, his beautiful open heart, the desperate kisses he presses into my skin.

No, Raphael Scott won’t break me, nothing can. I’ve fortified myself against this sort of thing. My body, my art; all of it is armor. This soft American boy has no hope on earth of breaking it.

Hamartia is an opposites-attract, bisexual awakening, Rockstar x K-pop idol mm romance featuring sex, drugs, and rock and roll… and some K-pop. It features themes of a mature nature.

Emotionally charged! Beautiful narration!

This book consumed me. It was emotionally charged… I LOVED it.
It gave me some anxiety, I wanted so bad to read the ending but I persevered and it was 100% worth it.

I love how the majority of chapters were Raphael’s POV which made Jaehyun even more enigmatic and every time it was his POV I would be extra focused because I needed to know everything about his feelings.
I read on kindle with Audio as well and narration is chefs kiss! Beautiful! Amazing!!! Fantastic!!! Zachary Zaba voiced both Rapha and Jae so so well, the Korean words were beautifully pronounced and I used Chat GPT to translate them, I was soooo invested in everything interesting mentioned in the book.

I loved the ending, I love how obsessed Rapha was with Jae, the language barrier was so endearing and I love how they both agreed to communicate clearly with each other.

“Dangsin-eun na-ege neomu keun sangcheoleul jul geos-ibnida. an geulae?
"당신은 나에게 너무 큰 상처를 줄 것입니다. 안 그래?"
"You will hurt me a lot. Won't you?"

Master Piece!!

I read the novel and now that I finished the audio book, I can only say it's gorgeous. I felt the emotions all over again. The voice is perfect for Jae and Raphael. Scarlett Drake is a talented writer that made me fall for these wonderful characters. Loved it!

So good

I already loved this book, but listening to it made me love it even more.

Most excellent listen!

This one really got me. Everything about it. I was so sad when it ended. It had all the feels. I became deeply invested in all the characters. When it starts out, the sound is weird because it begins as an interview. Don’t let that deter you. It’s short-lived, and then it opens up to beautiful narration. I laughed, I cried, I was moved time and time again. It drew me in and did not let me go until it was over. A very good book indeed!

Zachary’s voice really did this story justice!!

I love this story. It’s the first audio book I have listened to and I’m obsessed. Zachary really made this story come to life I love it !
