Seven literary love stories set in Jamaica and infused with the seductive beauty of the island.
Lovers Rock stars Jamaica: its language, its landscape, its vibe, its humor, its edge and its persistent, dogged beauty. These seven stories imagine strange, quirky, familiar and delicious encounters between people in search of romantic love in the twenty-first century. Featuring characters from of all walks of life, each story is connected by the unique vibe of Jamaican desire. Consider the tempo and swoop of Bob Marley’s "Stir It Up" for a taste of what this collection offers, a flavor that infuses these beautifully written love stories generated by some of Jamaica's most gifted literary writers working today. This is the perfect escape, a story whispered in your ear that transports you to places you've once visited and new vistas.
Lovers Rock was curated and edited by Emmy Award winning poet and writer, Kwame Dawes, in partnership with the esteemed Calabash International Literary Festival.

On July 4, 2022, a shooter climbed onto a rooftop in Highland Park, Illinois, and opened fire on a Fourth of July parade below, killing seven people and wounding dozens more. Prosecutors charged Robert “Bobby” Crimo III with the mass shooting. But this attack was part of something even more insidious. Bobby had created an elaborate game—complete with cryptic videos, a book of numbers, and an eerie online presence—designed to seed a conspiracy theory about the massacre.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 49
You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood. It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice.

While most of us are familiar with the Underground Railroad, there was much more to the movement than helping individuals escape their bondage. In the eight lectures of The Abolitionists, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson of Wellesley College will bring you along as she traces the history of the fight to end slavery in America, from its relatively quiet origins to the turning point at Harper’s Ferry to the Civil War.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

A barely employed tech worker has never felt they belonged. Not in society, not even in their own family. Their days are filled with loneliness, a struggle to survive and a desperate search for connection—even if that connection is merely virtual. Now, a black-market hacker promises to open a new world for them, and it works—in ways no human has ever experienced. They find a world of wonder, of possibilities and of danger—where their new virtual reality could mean the end of their physical reality. And what they discover could change the fate of humankind—forever.

On a March night in 2000, two deputy sheriffs serving a warrant were shot in Atlanta, Georgia. One was severely wounded while the other would die a day later. The shooting kicked off a large manhunt in search of the alleged cop killer. Four days later in Alabama, authorities found their man—Jamil Al-Amin. He was a Muslim leader with the title of Imam in the West End neighborhood of Atlanta. He was also the man formerly known as H. Rap Brown. He was a charismatic Black radical in the late '60s.

Please use Jamaican voice actors and actress!!!!
The stories are captivating, but please respect the uniqueness of Jamaican patois and get actual Jamaican voice actors and actress'. The phony Jamaican accent ruins the story.

This book was refreshingly good. Thanks for the authenticity and fluidity of the stories. Each story was crafted intentionally and it shows, definitely would’ve loved a full length of the last story.

Unexpected and yet soothing
It was like a homecoming. I started this collection with expectations, to be taken back home and be able to swim with my own memories triggered by the stories. At first I was disappointed that the characters were so different from me. This collection is a treasure, it’s soothing because I realized I didn’t want to be told a story about me. I needed to hear other people’s stories, the layers that each main character has, helped me to appreciate their journey as Jamaicans and mine.

I love the concept
This was a fun listen. I’m pleased I ran into this project here on Audible. Great concept and I hope we’ll run into more Jamaican audiobook story collections like this. This is a love story collection and there are some really good ones here. As a Jamaican listener, I found some of the voices jarring, particularly when some of the readers attempted to speak Jamaican. Given the medium it took away from the color of the stories in my view, they could have been more enriched with some recognizable Jamaican voices and accents. This is my reason for not giving this audiobook a 5 all the way and so for me it feels like a 4.8.
