About This Audiobook
A scholarship to the prestigious Neveah University seems like a lifeline until the recipient discovers it comes with complications in the form of four wealthy, dangerously attractive men who have already made up their minds about who she is. What follows is a tangle of secret society hazing, escalating dares, and stolen moments that cross boundaries she set for herself at the start. Tate James's new series opener is a college dark romance that builds its tension on the friction between self-protective instincts and the pull toward four men who seem to want everything.
Lilly Drake leads a cast that includes James Joseph, Corvin King, Gregory Salinas, and Michael Gallagher, giving the multiple romantic and antagonistic relationships distinct vocal personalities. The full-cast approach suits the "why choose" romance format, where each relationship needs to register as individually compelling, and Drake's performance of the heroine's wary-but-drawn perspective anchors the ensemble. At just under twelve hours, Dear Reader delivers the genre's promised intensity with a committed audio production.
