I finally heard their voices... and it was weird (but delightful)!

Hello !


You know that feeling when you're reading a book and you can just hear the characters' voices in your head?


After spending months living with Nick and Sophie, my rival firefighters vying for the same fire chief position in First In: Cheeky with the Fire Chief, I had their voices perfectly imagined. So, hearing them brought to life by the narrators for the new audiobook was absolutely surreal!


Now, I want to share that experience with you. 🥳

I have a limited number of free codes for the First In audiobook, available for listeners on both the US and UK Amazons.


(Sorry 🇨🇦, 🇦🇺, 🇳🇿, 🇩🇪, 🇫🇷 and others—Audible doesn't give us free listening codes ... I have a special way for you to get the audiobook for free in the PS, though)


If you are an American or UK audiobook listener and reviewer, I'm offering the download codes on a first-come, first-served basis.


The only "catch" is that in exchange for the free listen, I would be incredibly grateful if you would leave an honest review when you're finished. That's why Amazon gives us the codes—to help get early reviews.

I'm so proud of how the audiobook turned out, and I'm not the only one who thinks the narrators nailed it.


Here’s what early listeners are saying:


"This book is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good workplace romance with a strong female lead and a swoon-worthy alpha male. The narrative is engaging and full of suspense, keeping you on the edge of your seat and guessing what will happen next. The narration by Wyeth Watts and Verla Bond is exceptional, bringing the characters and their sizzling chemistry to life." (Rebecca, Goodreads)

"This was the fist audiobook I have listened to by Danika Bloom and I'm addicted! Nick & Sophie were so much fun and I fell in LOVE with their characters from the beginning. If I wasn't busy I could have listened to this book in one sitting because I didn't want to stop listening. I was drawn in from the start and I didn't want this book to end." (HPWH2010, Bookbub)

"Verla Bond and Wyeth Watts did a fantastic job voicing these characters, and I loved how they took each role and owned it, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound." (Bette, Bookbub)


We all know how a narrator can make or break an audiobook. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve stopped listening to a great story if the hero’s voice didn’t make me swoon. 😳


So, before you request a code, please do me a quick favor

Listen to the free sample to make sure you enjoy Nick’s voice. I want you to love the experience! Here's the US link and here's the UK link. Just click Preview and it will launch the audio player.


If you love the sample and are ready to listen and leave an honest review, just reply to claim your code. I only have 10 codes for each country so I apologize in advance if you reply and they're already gone.


And if you don't get a free listen code, you can always use one of your Audible codes ... it's over 9 hours, so you'll get your money's worth! 😉 Or, check the PS for a different way to get it for free.


I'm so excited to share Nick and Sophie with you in this way.


And next month I have a special surprise for you if you love second chance holiday romances and a New Year's Eve wedding!


xo,

Danika


PS—for my non-American and non-Brit reader/listeners:


You can join Audible for free for one month and get First In: Cheeky with the Fire Chief as your selection (I mean, technically, you could probably get any book, but I hope you'll get mine!).
