Head Above Water

By: CE Ricci

Narrated by: Michael Dean, Zachary Johnson

That’s the thing about hearts - like waves, they break too.

Grief.

I’ve never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it. Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning. It’s like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean. I’m helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface.

But fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years.

Cannon never wanted this family. Especially me. Still, he’s always been my greatest desire. And my biggest weakness. He’s unattainable. Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country. It’s something I’d do well to remember, yet when he stays, it’s so easy to forget.

In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken. This loss bonds us. Changes us. He’s become more than a brother or a lover. He’s my anchor.

So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I’ll eventually lose him too?

Head Above Water is a stand-alone, full-length MM enemies-to-lovers stepbrother romance novel.

Emotional

The emotion in their voices, I felt everything that they were trying to convey. 10/10 would recommend. I can’t express how amazing this book was but combined with these two narrators really bringing it to life was just next level.

Wonderful Performance!

I loved the narrating of this story; however, the story was too romantic and genuine that the redundant sex scenes between the two main characters didn't fit, and the combination was off. The poeticism was interrupted by the scandal. I wanted some things left to my imagination. A teen Rated of this book would have knocked it out of the park in my opinion.

Wow

So many emotions! The narrators are amazing! The characters will forever live with me for the way they showed themselves to each other. To be someone’s anchor is truly special.

Good story, emotional rollercoaster

This was a good story and a great performance. Im glad they got their HEA. Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️

So much raw emotion!

I absolutely LOVED this book. I’ve been putting it off for so long and now I regret not listening to it sooner. This story was so raw and emotional. As someone who has lost her father and is slowly losing her mother too I could truly feel the pain in these characters. The narrator’s did such an amazing job. Easily one of my favorites for 2024 so far.
