Summary

Raphael

We met once two years ago — a few awful moments I’d rather forget — but he’s lived in my head ever since. Lee Jaehyun. K-pop idol and star of every filthy fantasy I have these days.

I should be thinking about the fact we just won our first Grammy, I should be focussing on our next album. I should be planning my wedding. But I’m not; I’m thinking about him. About what his mouth might taste like and what that body might look like under those carefully curated clothes. About how he might feel in my arms and what my name might sound like from his mouth when he’s turned on.

I’m not sure what this is; the near obsession I have with this guy, but it’s burrowed itself deep and refuses to give an inch. I’ll go insane if I can’t have him just once. Once to scratch the itch, douse the flames.

Except, it turns out once isn’t enough, and it’s not dousing the flames it’s striking a match and I’m about to blow my entire life up.

Jaehyun

Raphael Scott is going to break my heart.

He’s an American rockstar, engaged to be married, and straight. He’ll get tired of whatever this is soon enough. Then he’ll go back to his beautiful actress girlfriend and I’ll be alone again. I’m fine with that.

But it doesn’t mean I won’t take what he’s offering me right now. His shining American smile, his beautiful open heart, the desperate kisses he presses into my skin.

No, Raphael Scott won’t break me, nothing can. I’ve fortified myself against this sort of thing. My body, my art; all of it is armor. This soft American boy has no hope on earth of breaking it.

Hamartia is an opposites-attract, bisexual awakening, Rockstar x K-pop idol mm romance featuring sex, drugs, and rock and roll… and some K-pop. It features themes of a mature nature.

Top read of 2023. 🩶

I read this last year. And when I saw it was coming to audible I knew I had to listen to it.
Absolutely amazing.!! The best experience ever. 🥲🥹

Why is it over. I’m so sad I finished it honestly.
Raphael and Jaehyun I love you so much.
I am
So emotional 😭 god all the feels.
If you like mm romance. There is nothing out there like this one. It’s so special.

*bi - awakening
*rockstar
*k -pop star
Not only is it a beautiful story but
the spice is off the charts. Again nothing else out there like it.

@zacharyzaba brought this book to life. I can’t believe that this was one voice all the way through. He did both pov incredibly.

Surprised.

I was honestly shocked by this book. The blurb didn’t really hold much interest for me but at the same time, it seemed different to anything else I’d looked at so I was shocked to find it was one of the best books I have listened to. It’s funny, well paced, sweet without being sappy and it’s just a great story. I loved it.

Absolutely incredible

This audiobook is utterly phenomenal. I read the book when it first came out and fell head over heels in love with Jae and Rapha and this audio has made me fall in love with them all over again 🥰.
The narrator did and fantastic job at bring Jae and Rapha to life 💜.

This book was everything I hoped it would be and so much more.
This book is not your typical rockstar romance! It was so much more.

When Raphael first meets Jaehyun, it is not under the best circumstances, but Rapha can't get Jae out of his head and, over the next 2 years, keeps track of Jae's career through his Instagram updates.

When they finally meet again, Rapha doesn't want to waste the opportunity to get to know Jae and explore the attraction he has never felt for a man before.

Rapha and Jae are absolutely explosive. Their chemistry is off the charts. The spice in this book is 🤌 (chefs kiss).
As they begin to tentatively explore their relationship and all of the obstacles that are in put front of them, they grow closer and closer.

Jae is so sweet and has real issues with seeing himself the way others do. He is always pushing himself to be better and doesn't think a relationship with Rapha would work even though that's what he really wants.

Raphael was definitely my favourite character in the book he is definitely not your typical arrogant rockstar, that's for sure. He struggles so much with his decision to pursue something with Jaehyun because of his relationship with his girlfriend and his sexuality which he was always certain of until he met Jae.

This book is a journey, a soul discovering beautiful journey. It gives us an insight into the workings of the K-pop world and the regulations which the idols must abide by. It gave us a snipet of Korea and how stunning the country is, and in the end, it gives us a beautiful love story.

Hamartia by Scarlett Drake

🖤 American Rockstar
🖤 K-Pop star
🖤 Bathroom Meet-Ugly - twice!
🖤 Sexual Awakening

This book was a whirlwind for me and even a day after finishing it, I'm still not 100% sure how I feel. There were many things that I expected from the story but also many that I didn't and I found myself surprised in both good and bad ways. There are many components that I did enjoy and the narration by Zachary Zaba was really well done. The thing I liked most was all the small intimate moments between Rapha and Jae and the way Rapha saw how special Jae was even though he lacked that himself. The third act drama was pretty big but happened close to the end which led to what felt like a rushed HEA. Overall this book wasn't a complete hit for me but also wasn't a complete miss either. If you like Rockstar/K-Pop star romances with plenty of heat, lots of drama and a splash of sexual awakening then give this book a shot.

Truly the best audiobook you'll ever listen to

Hamartia was one of my first MM reads last year and since then it has remained my favorite book. If I'm being honest, I wasn't sure about Zachary when I heard a few clips but I had already decided I would have listened to anyone narrating it! I'm more than happy to say I was an idiot and Zach is just perfection! His inner ramblings and verbal diarrhea had me actually laughing out loud. I had a stupid big smile on my face on the drive to work more times than I can count. He brought so much to both men which is a credit to him as both of them are drastically different characters.

The smut. The SMUT. It was fun reading but listening, well lets just say I had to pause it one drive home as I nearly knocked someone's wing mirror off 🤣 the bonus scene was a very pleasant surprise!

This book is beautiful. Read it please, listen to it, then enjoy months of trying to find a book you like more and failing! I think I'll be playing this on repeat for the rest of the year! Scarlett, you are a queen ❤️

What an incredible book!

Let me start by saying I’m not a big audio book person, but after reading this book a few months ago I knew I absolutely had to listen to the audio when it came out. I am so so impressed with Zachary’s performance, he perfectly captured the softness of Jae’s voice that is still full of strength. I felt all of Raphas emotions coming through in Zachary’s portrayal as well.
For those that haven’t read the book, this is a beautiful MM romance with characters you will absolutely become obsessed with, there is longing and pining and such deep love between these two, it’s impossible not to fall head over heels with them and their story.
Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

Rapha and Jae are EVERYTHING!!

Bringing this story to life with audio is genius and has only made me fall in love with them both all over again! I still love this story and just want to stay in a little Jaehyun and Raphael bubble because they're perfection!! my favourite audio EVER!!
