About this listen

Raphael

We met once two years ago — a few awful moments I’d rather forget — but he’s lived in my head ever since. Lee Jaehyun. K-pop idol and star of every filthy fantasy I have these days.

I should be thinking about the fact we just won our first Grammy, I should be focussing on our next album. I should be planning my wedding. But I’m not; I’m thinking about him. About what his mouth might taste like and what that body might look like under those carefully curated clothes. About how he might feel in my arms and what my name might sound like from his mouth when he’s turned on.

I’m not sure what this is; the near obsession I have with this guy, but it’s burrowed itself deep and refuses to give an inch. I’ll go insane if I can’t have him just once. Once to scratch the itch, douse the flames.

Except, it turns out once isn’t enough, and it’s not dousing the flames it’s striking a match and I’m about to blow my entire life up.

Jaehyun

Raphael Scott is going to break my heart.

He’s an American rockstar, engaged to be married, and straight. He’ll get tired of whatever this is soon enough. Then he’ll go back to his beautiful actress girlfriend and I’ll be alone again. I’m fine with that.

But it doesn’t mean I won’t take what he’s offering me right now. His shining American smile, his beautiful open heart, the desperate kisses he presses into my skin.

No, Raphael Scott won’t break me, nothing can. I’ve fortified myself against this sort of thing. My body, my art; all of it is armor. This soft American boy has no hope on earth of breaking it.

Hamartia is an opposites-attract, bisexual awakening, Rockstar x K-pop idol mm romance featuring sex, drugs, and rock and roll… and some K-pop. It features themes of a mature nature.

Emotionally charged! Beautiful narration!

This book consumed me. It was emotionally charged… I LOVED it.
It gave me some anxiety, I wanted so bad to read the ending but I persevered and it was 100% worth it.

I love how the majority of chapters were Raphael’s POV which made Jaehyun even more enigmatic and every time it was his POV I would be extra focused because I needed to know everything about his feelings.
I read on kindle with Audio as well and narration is chefs kiss! Beautiful! Amazing!!! Fantastic!!! Zachary Zaba voiced both Rapha and Jae so so well, the Korean words were beautifully pronounced and I used Chat GPT to translate them, I was soooo invested in everything interesting mentioned in the book.

I loved the ending, I love how obsessed Rapha was with Jae, the language barrier was so endearing and I love how they both agreed to communicate clearly with each other.

Master Piece!!

I read the novel and now that I finished the audio book, I can only say it's gorgeous. I felt the emotions all over again. The voice is perfect for Jae and Raphael. Scarlett Drake is a talented writer that made me fall for these wonderful characters. Loved it!

Beautiful Love Story

I don’t have the perfect words to describe this beautiful novel. Starting off with this narrator, he was amazing. He made this audiobook enjoyable. I have heard many audiobooks and I have to say that a lot don’t meet my expectation level. But this author really made me feel all the emotions, Amazing narrator!

This story was so beautiful! I did hold off on this book because K-Pop has never interested me. But boy was I wrong! Still not a huge fan of K-POP but that fact didn’t stop me, on the contrary this love story was so beautiful. I loved everything about this book, definitely unpredictable unlike other books I’ve read. I was definitely left wanting more from these characters, from beginning to end their chemistry was EVERYTHING! It’s definitely made it’s way to my top favorite books… and audiobooks. Definitely recommend!

My Love Continues To Grow

It’s been 8 months since I read and reviewed this book for the first time, and I still feel the exact same way.

“This is a beautiful, heart-stuttering type of love story and I enjoyed the journey so much. Rapha and Jae were meant to be and you could tell from meeting one. I just wanted to squeeze them and tell them that everything would be okay! Ugh, all the feels 😭 it is so well written and the plot so well realized that I found myself leaning into every page with nothing but anticipation (and sometimes anxiety LOL).”

Loved it then, I love it still. Always have, always will 🤷🏾‍♀️ but this audio though? Is it possible to love it more??? To hear Rapha and Jae come to life in this way was nothing short of spectacular. Zachary brought such life to these 2 characters, gave them two distinct voices and delivered emotionally exactly what the story deserved. Jaes softness and understated lilt were PERFECT for his character. And that spice? LAWD 🥵 5 stars, no notes. I will be listening to this again and again and again.

Great story and writing, just a little too long

Overall this story is great. You can feel the chemistry between the MMC’s and the character development was well done. I loved the scenes where it was just Rapha and Jae, their banter was so sweet and funny.

The only complaint I have is I found myself skipping chapters because there was so much filler. Filler that didn’t have any impact on the overall story. I get painting a picture but I hate when things are just thrown in that don’t add anything to the plot. I easily skipped 4-5 chapters and prob could have skipped more and still understood the whole story.

Overall would read this author again, and worth a credit!

Jae & Rapha are everything! Adored this story

It’s been a while since 2 characters have moved me like this. Raphael became quietly obsessed with Jaehyun. So much so that he let it consume him. Eventually his obsession became his reality. Jaehyun’s world was very different from Raphael’s. And he was so scared to let Raphael in. But I’m so glad he did. They had so many hurdles to overcome together. I can’t get them and their story out of my head!! I need more. Zachary Zaba did an amazing job narrating both Rapha & Jae.

Five stars

Loved this narration (and you get a bonus chapter!). I read the book and loved it so much I had to listen to the audio version. It did not disappoint.
