Rock House Grill Audiobook by DV Stone

Genre Romantic Suspense

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

Aden House, successful but driven chef and TV personality, refuses to slow down. His life implodes one night, damaging him both physically and emotionally. He’s rescued by a woman he thinks of as his angel.

Shay McDowell has rebuilt her life after her divorce. She juggles volunteer EMT duties and her job, while dreaming of becoming a chef. She finds her way to Rock House Grill and back into the life of the man she helped save.

Can love be the ingredient needed to survive the many obstacles they face?

Why did you write this book?

Since contracting the measles when I was 7 years old, I’ve been hearing impaired.

If I’m in a place with a lot of background noise, everything becomes “buzzing”. I tend to back off and isolate myself in large groups, not understanding what they are saying. If the noise isn’t too bad, I can lip-read to an extent.

My family and friends have gotten used to me and my “positioning”. Going out with friends for dinner, I pick either end of the table on the opposite side, so my good ear is toward the group. Walking down the street often breaks out into a dance of me and whoever shuffling positions. I prefer to drive, so everyone is on my right.

One time I went to the doctor because my right ear was bothering me. Trust me, when one doesn’t work, you are on it when something starts up with the other. Unfortunately, when he tried to remove the problem (TMI alert), earwax further pushed down, and I became almost totally deaf. It was a Friday, and the ENT couldn’t see me until Monday. One of my worst fears happened. The entire world was shut out. Monday came, and the problem was resolved, but the experience still haunts me.

I think that’s why I avoided audiobooks. If I have a bud in my left ear, the world is shut out. It’s not true, but it was my perception.

In the past few years, our life began to have many changes. Before with my hubby and I working full-time, travel was limited. But after we bought our camper, as my sister says, the world became our oyster. Traveling for hours, sometimes for several days, left a lot of downtimes. So, why not. I was in a safe environment. Pete usually drives, and if anyone knows him, he has a booming voice, so no problem hearing him. I went out and bought a set of comfortable earbuds.

Since then, I’ve been hooked, and it followed that Rock House Grill would be my first audiobook. Hearing Shay and Aden’s story brought to life by the incredible Emelie Pla brought tears to my eyes.

I don’t wear headphones when I’m driving. I will confess when I’m taking a walk and “vant to be alone”, I’ll put both in even though the left ear one isn’t needed; I tend to be left alone. Shh, don’t tell on me.

If you love audiobooks or have hesitated to try one, go for it!

What is your favorite genre to read?

I read so many different, but I have to say Fantasy/Romance is my favorite–today anyway. But I like all my books to have a happy resolution.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

Bilbo Baggins. He’s funny, sweet, and faulty at times. But loyalty is huge.

What are you working on at the moment?

I have several projects in the works. The Sheild-Mates series are fantasy/romance. The one giving me fits at the moment is The Last Dragon Queen, which I’m concurrently finishing alongside Kisa.

What books will we see from you in coming months?

Jazz House, the second book of my Impact series by Wild Rose Press, should be coming soon. Also, the Shield-Mates, which are indie, will be sorted out and released.
