Doves of Destiny, Book 1

De: Rye Cox

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

What do you call being stranded with your brother’s best friend? Recipe for disaster? Or dream come true?

Ethan Wang: College was supposed to be my chance to start over. To leave high school behind and focus on my studies to become a vet. Then, I board a plane on winter break, and find myself seated next to my brother’s best friend. The same guy I had a huge crush on, even though he always seems to have it out for me. It should have been a quick flight filled with awkward small talk. Plans change when the plane’s engine fails, and we’re forced to land in the middle of nowhere. After a sequence of bad luck, we’re forced to share a B&B room with only one bed. Trapped in a room with a man I've hidden my feelings from for years, what's the worst that could happen?

Kingsley Sharp
I usually get what I want, thanks to my mastery of charming my way into anyone’s heart. That was never the case with my best friend’s brother. We got off on the wrong foot, and were never able to recover from it. More than ever, I want nothing more than to win him over. Now, with us stranded together, my chance has come. Stuck in a small town full of snow drifts and holiday cheer, I’m determined to use this disaster to make this a magical holiday neither of us will forget.

The Holiday Disaster is a standalone MM romance with college-aged characters. It’s a fun blend of sweet and steamy moments featuring brother's best friend, one bed, first love, slow burn, and opposites attract tropes.

Complete HEA, featuring heartfelt confessions, sweet & intimate first-times, & year-later epilogue. So Cute together!! Their joy & love is contagious, jumping off the page!

Zaba delivers lovable characters with his dual voice roles in this reading. Wonderful feeling in their lines & stoic in the narration. A great audiobook performance overall.

*TW: brief realistic plane trouble & panic attack, but all is well (of course)

Easy Listen

This was a short sweet holiday romance with a satisfying HEA. Zachary Zaba, as narrator, makes the story even better.

Rye Cox rocks.

I originally read this author in the Christmas Falls series. The authors ability to make a meet-cute moment both believable and, well, cute is amazing. Cox is one of those authors that gets better with each story told. I was not disappointed in the story. The narration did not meet the emotional level of the narrative and gave me the feel of distance that shouldn't be there in a first person narration.
