About this listen
Luca feels like he’s been asleep for a hundred years, but really it was just one bad night. He wakes up in a room he’s never seen before, with a note from a mysterious stranger who seems to have come to his rescue.
Before he can sneak out, he finds himself face-to-face with his gorgeous knight in shining armor. It turns out that Ryan saved him from more than just a bad hangover.
In a day that feels like a dream, Luca and Ryan discover their attraction, but as a simple tailor and a club bouncer, they’re completely opposite.
Could this really be true love?
Rise and Shine is a steamy, stand-alone MM romance novella featuring a match-making Labrador, too much pizza, just the right amount of sofa snuggles, and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliff-hanger.

But when his grandma’s tireless charity work is honored, Theo makes sure he spends his last pennies to get her to the palace, hosted by none other than the gorgeous Prince James himself.

My whole life, I’ve been taught to despise shifters. So when I’m hired to track two escaped convicts, I’m suddenly thrust into the world I hate - or thought I did. Yet I’m inexplicably drawn to the alpha of the pack, whose land the convicts may be hiding on. He’s different than any shifter I've ever met - laidback and quick to laugh, caring, and protective. As secrets are revealed, I start to wonder if everything I’ve been raised to believe was a lie, though it may not matter, because it seems like someone wants us dead.

Sweet insta-love story.
Sweet insta-love story. A retelling of sorts of Sleeping Beauty. Lovely.
Apart from the epilogue the whole story takes place in one day, when Luca wakes up in Ryan's apartment with no recollection of the night before.
A sweet short story for the romantics at heart!

Sweet Story
This was just a great short, sweet, low angst story. Ryan and Luca meet after he rescues Luca at a club, and then we get to see them fall for each other. I loved how it was just a simple story. No angst or drama, we see them spend a day falling for each other. This was perfect.

So Sweet!
I loved this story so much! I'm fond of both the MCs and Briar the adorable dog. I just wished that it was longer.
The narrator is new to me. I enjoyed listening to his voice so much that I finished this in one sitting.
I recommend this audiobook, and will check out other works by both the author and the narrator.

Short and Sweet
Rise and Shine is a short sweet story with a fairytale feel. Luca wakes up in a strange bed not knowing where he is or how he got there only to find out, Ryan, a bouncer at a club, not only rescued him from and ex who roofied his drink but also took care of Luca in his home. Ryan is so sweet and considerate of Luca. I love their connection and watching them fall in love. A very enjoyable story, one to enjoy again and again. Definitely recommend.
Kieran Flitton does a fabulous job. He's becoming a fast favorite. I love how he brings these characters to life.

Wonderful
This is a quick and cute story that is a twist on Sleeping Beauty. Ryan takes Luca home to save him from his terrible ex. Their attraction is instant but I like that they take their time. It was very sweet watching them get to know one another and build their relationship. The narrator was spectacular with the story and with the character voices. I am truly looking forward to more stories. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

The prince kissed the sleeping youth and they lived happily ever after
So it’s finally time for a sweet MM retelling if sleeping beauty and I have to say this as so sweet and lovely.
Luca is indeed very lucky. What could have been an extremely hellish night turned out to be an opportunity to meet and fall in love with his Prince Charming who saved him from a night that could have gone wrong. However waking up in a strange place with no memory whatsoever of what happened last night made Luca very confused and scared at first. And Ryan is the Prince Charming who saved the other prince in distress and is secretly having a crisis of having feelings for the man he rescued. How will their fairytale end?
Ah, so so sweet and romantic. It’s really heartwarming to see how they fumble through their first day together which will ultimately end up us their happily ever after. I wish this has been longer. And I think the narrator is the absolute fit for this story. I loved this one so much.

Sweet, but simple
This was a short and simple modern day story loosely based around the age old classic Sleeping Beauty. I would have liked more plot, including the cousins and a confrontation with the “villain” Mal, but for what it was, I enjoyed the time spent listening to this straightforward tale. Briar the dog was adorable and reminded me of my own. The narration was perfect for this fairy tale snippet.
