About this listen

Quinn and Leo have been chosen to represent their zones at the Mating Grounds—a genetic diversity breeding program run by the government. Can they choose a mate before their year is up or will they be assigned to someone and lose out on their chance at a love match?

Quinn has been waiting for years to escape her father’s house. Now that she’s one of the Chosen she has the perfect opportunity to cast off her broken family and finally find happiness. When she arrives at the Mating Grounds can she open herself up to a partner knowing how vulnerable it may leave her? This may be her only chance to start fresh and make her heart whole again.

Leo has led a privileged life as the son of a Governor when his scheming father finds a way to get him chosen. As Leo settles into his new reality can he focus on his happiness or will politics continue to rule his world? One look at the girl his father would loathe has him questioning his priorities. Power or pleasure?

If you enjoy dystopian romances (like Katniss and Peeta’s), a race to partner up (are they your type ‘on paper’?) and a shot of heavy angst, then you’ll love Our Year in Cria.

Previously published as Our Year in Cria: The Mating Grounds [Episodes 1-10] on Kindle Vella.

This was an interesting listen. The narrator did their voices very well. It is short and sweet. I loved the plot.

So good.

Reviewing for the audiobook listened at 1.2x speed.

I was hooked right away when I read the blurb and I wasn't disappointed. Dystopian romance? I didn't know I needed more of them in my life until now. I was actually sad that it was so short as I wanted to get more into the story and the characters. Quinn and Leo were such fun characters to follow along with, and their relationship felt more natural with the way that it was built up even though it was a short story.

Laura Horowitz is just an amazing narrator, and I'll always be excited when I know that she is doing an audiobook that I'm listening to.

I can't recommend this enough and will for sure be looking into the other books within this series.
