About this listen

He burned me once.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.

Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.
Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.
But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,
then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,
and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.
But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:
irreparably, and with devastating finesse.

Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,
reading through a contract with a pen poised in my fingertips.
A favor for a favor, he says.
A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.

I hate him. I hate that I need him.
And what I hate the most?
He doesn’t remember me. At all.

But despite the burning chemistry between us,
the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
He’s still the rock star who ruined me.
I
refuse to let myself forget.

***

Excellent

Another Hometown Heartless win! Callie and Torren were an excellent match and their storyline was interesting and engaging. I struggled a little bit more than the first in the series with the past-present switches. I kept asking myself “is this in the now or then?” (Yes, I realize chapter openings set the scene, but with long chapters I’d lose track). But overall, very much enjoyed.

LOVED

I wasn’t sure I would like Torrens story…but how could I doubt Brit Benson?? Unbelievable - I absolutely loved Callie and Torrens story. It was amazing to go along on the love story, watch their development and see them come together. I loved the witty humor of Glory and the depth the story gave you. If I could just listen to Brit Benson all the time, I would be happy.

Super Spicy, Angsty Rockstar Romance

✨ Of Heartbreak and Harmony ✨

YOU GUYSSSS!! I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! I was a little worried that Between Never and Forever would be impossible to follow up, but Of Heartbreak and Harmony said hold my beer babe, I got this!

Callie and Torren were magic together. It tore me up as they slowly pieced together their past and how everything went down but it was so rewarding as they figured out how to fix the hurt and pain and move forward. Going into their relationship, they were both so jaded and couldn't trust anyone. I loved watching their trust grow into something so solid. Also...this book was HOT. Like woah! All of this leads into a super exciting and suspenseful ending with an unexpected yet beautiful HEA!

This book is an interconnected standalone within the Hometown Heartless series! It can totally be read alone, but why would you do that when both books are so amazing!?

Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter were AHHHMAZING! I loved them together so much and it was such a treat to listen to their voices in duet narration with a surprise singing performance by Juno Cooper and Zachary Webber. *swoon* This is a series where audio just makes an already spectacular book even better!

Thank you so much to Brit Benson and Must Love Audio for this gifted audiobook.

Torren & Callie!!!

Brit Benson has a brilliant talent for shattering my heart and slowly stitching it back together. The Hometown Heartless are back with all their drama and heart! Of Heartbreak and Harmony was a captivating read; I was feral for more each time I had to set it down. Brit’s storytelling spikes and receedes in intensity like a musical composition. The crescendo hits on page one, leaving readers’ hearts pounding as Brit unravels the heart-wrenching love story.

So imagine my delight when I got to re-live this amazing book in audio! Not only that, but two of my very favorite, ride or die narrators bringing Torren and Callie to life?! This audiobook was an instant hell yes for me. Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter brought Brit’s magic off the page in spectacular form! This was a top-shelf audiobook from start to finish. Stella and Stephen embodied each character and made each gut punch and dazzling moment of this love story come to life flawlessly.

amazingggg

if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that i never shut up about a @britbensonwritesbooks book 🤭

i read this a few months ago and it made me feel all feels, but experiencing it on audio made all those feels come back again but x100. stella hunter and stephen dexter did such a phenomenal job bringing callie and torren to life. i loved hearing all my favorite scenes.

i highly recommend this audio if you're in the mood for a spicy, angsty, rockstar romance and also the first book in the series, between never and forever!

The Rockstar Steals Your Heart!

Y'all bookies who love angst, tension, spice and beautifully chiseled characters absolutely 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 read/listen to a 𝙱𝚛𝚒𝚝 𝙱𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚗 novel. I've been a fan of hers for some time now, and I absolutely couldn't wait to devour this one. But wait I did and it was so worth it! From the first word read, to the very last word, to the music in the audiobook, I was hooked.

Callie & Torren were absolutely made for each other. These two together absolutely stole my soul and didn't want to give it back!

Torren King is so misunderstood, but I absolutely loved the way 𝙱𝚛𝚒𝚝 𝙱𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚗 chiseled him. We had to hate him....so we could absolutely fall head over heels for that man while he fell in love with Callie.

And, Callie.....dear Callie. She was the epitome of a bada$$ FMC and I adored her. She gave as good as she got when it came to Torren and I was there for it! The angst, the push & pull, the fall.....all of it was beautiful!!!

Let's talk 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐷𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑟 & 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 𝐻𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 performing this duet style. They were fabstastic!!!! They 𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓪𝓶𝓮 Callie & Torren, poured their whole selves into the characters and absolutely delivered!!!! Perfect pairing, perfect performance!

Once again, bad boy rockstar falls head over heels for his dream girl is beautifully chiseled by the absolutely talented hands of 𝙱𝚛𝚒𝚝 𝙱𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚗. I am convinced there is 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 she can not write. She is one of my top authors and this story.....it filled me with heartbreak, it filled me with harmony, it filled me with amazingness! I can not wait to see the next installment play out!

Callie & Toren

This is the second book in a series and I was totally fine reading it on its own. The author always delivers on the emotional front, she writes some of the best angst and longing and this was no exception. It’s a great balance of complex emotions and steam, one chapter in particular had me sweating 🥵 Both narrators were fantastic, Callie has a big personality and Stella Hunter was perfect! Stephen Dexter was Toren, I can’t imagine hearing him any other way!

I adore, love and cherish this series

I am a big defender that audiobooks can upgrade your experience with a book that you already love and this one is the definition of that. Everything about it was pure perfection and a masterpiece that both of the narrators delivered.
I have no words for how amazing every scene was performed and how I felt like every single character was real. I don’t how it’s possible but Brit always cast the best narrators for her characters and this one THANK LORD, was not an exception.
This audiobook, alongside with the book, made me cry, laugh out loud and fell in love *again* with a world I can’t be part of.
There were a lot of moments that touched my soul deeply and I cried like a baby in the last few chapters. Stella's performance was flawless and I never felt a character pain like I felt Callie’s in chapter 41 and 42. Truly, those two chapters made me SOB. What a hell of a performance.
But, let’s not forget about Stephen and how perfect he was as Torren. I get chills everytime he says “firebird” and I don’t think I will ever recover.

Everything I was looking for!

I’m beyond obsessed with this book! And reading it on audiobook took it to the next level. The banter, the found family, the drama, the tears, it seriously had everything I was looking for in a rockstar romance. You will not regret reading about Callie and Torren’s story.

Brit Benson is an EPIC storyteller !!

Brit Benson continues to absolutely amaze me with her storytelling. Naturally, I was obsessed with Torren in book one, so seeing him move on from Savannah and get his own HEA was so so exciting (and deserved!!). Torren and Callie met at a music festival five years ago. His memory of the festival is hazy, but Callie’s is crystal clear, and she’s still nursing the heartache. But now Torren is the one in need of help, and he asks Callie to be his fake girlfriend (you know, pr and all that jazz). Fake dating, rockstar, annnnnd some suspenseful drama = one hell of a story. Stephen and Stella SLAAAAAYED this audio (and it’s duet hello!!). Stephen’s emotion? Unmatched. Absolutely recommend both Hometown Heartless books (read in order to avoid spoiling the series for yourself!).
