The Rose and the Crown

By: Evelyn Sola

Narrated by: Jack Calihan, J.Y. Kora

In the small, quiet town of Shadow Cove, appearances hide dark secrets — and new beginnings can spark deadly games.

Eden Rose, a dedicated physical therapist and the sheriff’s daughter, never expected to cross paths with a reckless motorcycle biker with a criminal past. When Ripley King saves her from being drugged at his nightclub, a dangerous obsession ignites. His tattoos and leather-clad danger draw her in, but his involvement in illegal activities threatens to destroy everything she loves.

As Ripley's need to claim her grows, Eden fears her carefully crafted world, her family's reputation, and her sense of safety will come apart. She aches to believe in their love, but the darker truths of Shadow Cove—her father's world and Ripley's secrets—push her to the edge. Can their passion withstand the chaos, or will the weight of her fears bury them both before they even have a chance?

The Rose and the Crown is the first installment in the Good Girls, Bad Boys series — a pull-no-punches tale of desire, danger, and the fight to trust in a small town where everyone’s hiding something.

Evelyn Sola has done it again!

Narrators are both great. Jack Callahan is one of my favorites. I think Evelyn Sola has a way of writing strong female characters that are decisive which I appreciate, can’t stand a bunch of internal struggle. I also find myself laughing at some point in every book. Loved it!

Out-freaking-standing!

this is a new genre of story telling for Evelyn Sola with the bad boy vibe (and bad Ripley is) so I was a little hesitant at first but as usual, she did not disappoint! Good slow burn and great spice with all the family drama! I wanted to ring Slyvie's neck 🤣, and I cannot wait for Cori and Dax's story 💖 🔥

Main characters

I love how they came together and defended each other; and didn’t let others come between them

Forever Evelyn Fan Here!!!

Just when I think I've met the man of my literary dreams, Mrs. Sola drops another book. I love Ripley & Eden. This book nailed the "small town everyone in your business" drama so well I wanted to scream at some points. 5 Stars. I can't wait to see what's going down with Cory and Dax.
