About this listen
Starting new chapter in my life never felt so cold.
Nothing like picking up and moving across country on a whim.
My name is Cait Monroe, and I’d love to find a nice small ski town and live happily ever after, but I’ve promised to help my mom get back on her feet. So when Mom decides that she, along with my half sister, should pack up and go on an eight-month road trip out of nowhere, I tag along. For my sister's sake.
It's only then, when we settle into the new city and new way of life, that my past comes back to haunt me. Threats lurk around every corner, and I only want to move on. I struggle figuring out how to build a new life for myself and not knowing who to trust. So when four very sexy guys insert themselves into my life, I’m wary. Why are they doing this? What could they want with me?
As the sense of danger grows ever closer, the truth of my past becomes overwhelming and I fight for control.
Can I find refuge in this storm, and escape the peril the cold of night brings?
Escaping the Cold is book 1 of the Scandalous Slopes series, a dark reverse harem romance. This means the female main character will have three or more love interests and will not have to choose in the end. This book also has a trigger warning for: grooming, mentions of history of child SA, PTSD. and stalking, sexually explicit scenes, explicit language, plus haunted house situations including arachnids/insects, clowns, and dolls.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

I love flowers. Being a botanist has always been my dream, but life got in the way—and, nowadays, I have a job at the flower shop near my crummy apartment. So that's something, right? Maybe it's not in the best neighborhood, but it's a bright spot in a dirty city, and at least there are usually cops around. I've noticed one in particular lately, keeping an eye on the shop.

Story
After a decade of bullying me, the Alpha Heir discovers I'm his predestined mate. But just because he rejects me in front of the whole pack doesn't mean he's going to let me go. When I flee my fated mate, he gives chase. The Alpha Heir would sooner murder me than let me live out of his reach. Only death isn't the end for me. The afterlife is a bit more fiery than I pictured, but that's fine. I'm used to fighting to survive, and literal Hell just might be a step up from what I've been dealing with.

When my father tries to force me to marry one of his cronies, I run away to my half-brother's home. He's the black sheep of the family, a biker, not an Irish mobster. At the Satan's Sinners' MC compound, I find more than I bargained for. Not my brother, ironically, but a man who gives a whole other meaning to "white knight." He's dark and mysterious, a seeker of answers and a finder of truths. Even better? He offers me an out, a shotgun wedding in Vegas.

Obsessed with this audio!
I cant wait for more!!!
Escaping the Cold is book #1 in the Scandalous Slopes series. Its a dark reverse harem. Make sure to check the trigger warning.
This audiobook is all around PERFECT!!! I can already tell that this is one that i am going to listen to a million times! These narrators brought every single emotion, and brought these characters to life so dang well. I could go on and on forever about this one!
I cant believe this is a debut novel!
Cait has just moved to a small, ski town and is helping her mom with her little sister. She loves their new home, loves her new job and meets 4 hot guys that she can't stop thinking about.
Corey, Cam, Bast, and Dom are all so freaking HOT!!! Some fall instantly for Cait, some fight it, but they cant deny that they fit perfectly. When Caits past comes back to ruin her present, everything could be ruined.
That cliffhanger!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I can't wait for the next book!!! I couldn't put this down. I love the characters, i love the world, I love the mystery and i love the spice!
Its a perfect start to the series!
