Book description
Picture this: You're sipping your morning coffee, minding your own business, when suddenly your audiobook drops your mug because the narrator just described a contract killer bleeding out on a bookshop floor. That's the vibe of "B.D.E: Falling Hard For A BBW" by Andi A. Brooks. Seriously, put this on while you're doing dishes-your soap might slip right out of your hand.
Ghost isn't your average hitman. He's less "James Bond," more "ghost who'd rather you didn't notice he's there." But whoops, someone just tried to turn him into a human pincushion, leaving him stranded in the only place that's not a crime scene: Ivy's cozy book café. Smells like cinnamon and secrets (and maybe a very hidden stash of "filthy urban erotica" under her mattress-yep, the plot's got layers). Ivy, a thick, brown-skinned, sharp-tongued bookworm who's been surviving on quiet shelves and late-night restocks since her parents passed? She doesn't scream. She bandages him up. Because apparently, her superpower is ignoring the bleeding guy in her café while eyeing him like, "Honey, you're so not my type... except for the whole 'dying' part."
This isn't your run-of-the-mill love story where two people meet at a coffee shop and sigh romantically. No, this is bullets, betrayal, and the kind of tension that makes you whisper "Wait... who did this?!" to your empty living room. Ghost's got a family guy who sold him out? Oof. Now it's not just about staying alive-it's about vengeance, and Ivy's the only one who won't let him vanish into the shadows. (Spoiler: She's also the only one who sees him. Even when he's trying to be a ghost.)
The audiobook? Absolute gold. The narrator nails Ghost's quiet intensity (like, "I'm a ghost, but I really need a cup of tea") and Ivy's "I've got this" sass without a hint of cheese. You'll hear the thump of a book hitting the shelf as she argues with him, the rustle of pages as she hides her "steamy reads," and the sigh of a man realizing he's been set up by his own family. It's like watching a slow-motion car crash... but make it romantic, and with way more cinnamon.
And the best part? It's not just a romance. It's a story about two people who've been broken-Ghost by betrayal, Ivy by silence-and discovering they're not alone. You'll find yourself rooting for them like they're your favorite, slightly chaotic, bookish friends. By the end? You'll be muttering, "Wait, who is the villain? And why did I just laugh when Ghost tried to flirt?" (He's a killer, people. He's not supposed to be adorable.)
So yeah. If you've ever wondered what happens when a ghost falls for a bookworm who's way too good at bandaging wounds (and hiding spicy novels), grab this audiobook. Your coffee will be cold, your dishes will wait, and you'll be grinning like you've just found the perfect book to hide your own secrets under. Trust me: you won't forget the sound of a contract killer whispering, "Ivy... I think I'm staying." Chef's kiss.
