About this listen
My fresh start is finally around the corner—but so is the man standing in the middle of the f*cking road.
He could’ve died when I hit him, and his two friends are downright furious. But instead of pressing charges, they offer me a deal: work for them for six months, and they’ll let it go.
Their secluded mountain estate is vast and beautiful. Full of stolen artifacts and dark secrets.
Atticus, Elijah, and Seven might be equally alluring, but they’re also damaged and dangerous—driven by a thirst for revenge they say I can help satisfy.
Only now that they have me, they don’t seem to want to let me go. And it’s not one-sided.
Before long, their vengeance becomes my own, and I begin to understand that even if helping them claims my life, it’s too late to turn back now.
I can’t guard a heart they’ve already stolen.
White Rose Painted Red is a dark romance full of kindle-melting chemistry and possessive, damaged men who will do whatever it takes to get the revenge they crave and keep the girl they never meant to fall for.
*This book contains themes and scenes that may be disturbing to some listeners.
Tropes:
Psycho golden retriever
Who hurt you?

Story
My new neighbor happens to be the grumpiest billionaire in Whispers, but his gravelly voice and golden brown eyes make this city girl weak at the knees. When my life imploded and I lost my job and my fiancé in a matter of weeks, I didn’t know what my next step should be. Then I received an inheritance that would change my life forever. Moving to a small town and renovating the old farmhouse was a step in the right direction. But bickering with my startling good looking, yet much older neighbor was not part of my plan.

You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth. In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.

He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

Story
I think I always knew I was going to die young. Like I had this… silent, invisible clock ticking down to my final moments plastered above my head. Maybe that’s why I was so reckless, crazy. Why I sought after adventure. Why nothing scared me… Except, there was always this… feeling I couldn’t shake that something was in the darkest parts of every corner, under every bed, closet, or room, like a ghost watching me. Waiting to take me. My own, personal reaper. But it was always only during a lightning storm that I could see the outline of my reaper. No scythe.

Even though he hates me too, Archer agreed to keep me safe from the man who left me broken and bruised. It should be easy to stay out of each other’s way when we’re complete opposites. He wants nothing to do with me and I want nothing to do with him, other than the haven he’s providing. Archer is always glued to his computers anyway, brown hair falling over his eyes as his inked fingers dance across the keyboards.

Archer is always glued to his computers anyway, brown hair falling over his eyes as his inked fingers dance across the keyboards.

Until that night, the night I made the worst decision of my life. And I’m still paying the price for it. We both are.

Look, I’m not going to lie and tell you life is all roses and champagne. Although as a high-end escort, I do get a lot of those. Do you know what else I get? Dubious clients, stalkers, some really uncomfortable positions (and I mean that literally), not to mention the exhausting amount of lies I have to tell on a daily basis. Thing is, beneath this whole veneer I’ve created, lives an everyday, almost pushing thirty, independent woman who wouldn’t mind settling down with someone who can handle her.

It's a bad idea to hook up with the three guys next door. No matter how tall, handsome, and charismatic they might be. But when I move in next to Aiden, Sebastian, and Dante? Nobody's willpower is that strong. The three Romeos travel for work, which means one of them is always out of town. Sharing me is the perfect solution. Although Dante's a lot more possessive than the other two… We spend our days playing pickleball and our nights having a different kind of rough, sweaty fun. Can the four of us keep it casual, like we agreed?

I already loved the dark, emotional, twisty AF storyline… but hearing it come to life? 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵. 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭.
Lessa Lamb absolutely 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥 Aurora. Her delivery was raw, vulnerable, and fierce in all the right places—there were moments I genuinely choked up. And the guys? Grayson Owens (Seven), Sean Masters (Atticus), and Devon Ryder (Elijah) delivered 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘵 performances. Each voice was distinct, every emotion landed, and the chemistry between the cast was unreal. The duet, full-cast narration made the tension hit even harder, especially during the 𝘰𝘩, 𝘴𝘩*𝘵 scenes.
This audiobook didn’t have sound effects or music, but honestly, none were needed.
The pacing was tight, the character work on point, and I never once got pulled out of the story. If anything, I fell deeper. Whether you’re here for the spice, the obsession, the betrayal, or the revenge... this audiobook hits. And that ending? Wrecked me. Again. I'm dying for book two.
If you love morally gray characters, found-family chaos, and narrators who own their roles, this one’s without a doubt a 𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙥 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣.

📚 Book Review (Story: 5⭐ Spice: 3.5🌶️)
White Rose Painted Red by Elena Lawson and Blake Lawson is a dark, fast-burning ride that gripped me from page one and didn’t let go. Full of tension, secrets, and twisted, oh-so-delicious chemistry, it delivers a why choose romance that's as emotional as it is dangerous.
Aurora’s journey from survivor to something fiercer completely hooked me. I loved how layered and combustible her dynamic was with Atticus, Elijah, and Seven, the three broken, dangerous men who claim space in her life in wildly different ways. Seven’s chaotic, unfiltered devotion, Elijah’s buried strength clawing its way back through grief and guilt, and Atticus’s stormy dominance created an emotional tug-of-war that kept the tension simmering throughout. Watching both Aurora and the men evolve—sometimes fighting growth, sometimes surrendering to it—made their bond feel raw, hard-won, and impossible to look away from.
And just wait until you meet Daddicus. I FLOVED Daddicus. But let’s be real: every scene between Aurora and her men felt like the authors saying, “Oh, you thought that last scene was hot? Hold my beer, beeotches, because we’re just getting started.” I legit ate it up.
They had me in a full-on chokehold for so many reasons. Not only was the tension and the secrets captivating, but Elena and Blake kept the pacing tight, balancing high-stakes action, slow-burn revenge, and magnetic, scorching-hot relationship drama without ever losing momentum. Every revelation peeled back another layer of danger, trust, and betrayal, pulling me deeper with each chapter.
And that cliffhanger? Brutal. Holy sh*t, it was brutal—I'm 100% sure I'm going to die waiting for the next book, and honestly, I would change nothing. (Well, maybe one thing: Atticus did the unthinkable, and someone definitely needs to punch him in the junk. Groveling is not going to suffice at this point. I’m going to need more because I think I actually despise him. 😂)
But the way Eli and Seven showed up for Aurora? Stunning. Morally gray they might be, but in that moment, they shined like the brightest damn stars. I was already feral for Seven the minute he picked up the bat (😉IYKYK) or the way he broke the fridge…🤔 but now? Gimme more. Of all of it. Please. I’m rabid to see where Elena and Blake take this chaotic, combustible found family next.
Content warnings apply, but if you’ve read this far, you already know that's just like waving a red flag at a bull. If you love dark, character-driven romance with bite, White Rose Painted Red is absolutely worth the plunge.
