Early Evidence Profile
When Ezra Love signs up for the annual Sinners Retreat, he does not expect to meet Kindra at the airport—or to connect with her so instantly. Their attraction deepens as they discover a shared fascination with macabre hobbies, leading to a one-night stand that spirals into something far more complicated during the retreat. Kindra is tough, plus-sized, and determined to uncover the truth about her brother’s unsolved murder. Finding his killer is the real reason she has come.
Ezra’s connection with Kindra becomes increasingly dangerous when her investigation collides with his hidden past. Now, he must decide whether to tell her the truth and risk losing her or keep his real identity concealed. Set amid forced proximity, dark humor, sharp banter, and deadly secrets, this dark romantic comedy asks whether desire and trust can survive when falling in love may expose everything.

Performance evidence that can actually describe how this narrator sounds or performs this recording. Identity records, narrator biographies, sample links, and awards are useful context but do not count here on their own.
Supporting sources 3
What this means
Sources tied to the audiobook recording itself, such as verified product or catalog records that help resolve narrator, runtime, format, release information, or stable recording identifiers.
What this means
The most recent date this page’s saved evidence picture was refreshed and checked.
A larger evidence pool gives us more to work with, but volume alone does not make a conclusion stronger. Relevance and independence still matter.

What this means for your listen

Evidence behind this section
Counts describe support for this narrator/recording, not a quality score.Why we describe the performance this way

- Sean Masters, appears on at least 1 other verified audiobook edition in our catalog.
Career recognition belongs to the narrator; it is not automatically an award for this audiobook.

Our Take
The book sits most naturally in comedy, romance, and romantic comedy territory, and the strongest supported details help set expectations for that kind of story. For the audiobook, there is enough recording-specific support to add a meaningful performance view for Angelina Rocca, Shane East, Alexis Paige, Sean Masters, in Narrator Experience. Verified recognition adds another positive point of context, although the recommendation still rests on the qualities of the work and, where supported, the recording itself.
