Good Spin

By: Monica McCallan

Narrated by: Lori Prince

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

Public Relations expert Emery Bates has exactly one problem she's willing to admit, and it's that she doesn't have a girlfriend to take as her date to a wedding. Not because she needs a girlfriend, but because she needs an easier way to come out to college friends that she hasn't seen in five years. Her job is about controlling the narrative, and as she sees it, there's no reason why that can't extend to her personal life. When her next door neighbor ends up single a few weeks before the wedding, problem solver Emery realizes inviting Jordan along and faking romance for a week in Hawaii could be perfect for both of them.

Jordan Davis doesn't worry about much, especially what will happen tomorrow. Life's too short to plan every second, and it usually doesn't work out anyway. When Emery invites her on an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii, it's not a hard sell. She'll get to enjoy a tropical vacation with one of her closest friends, and she'll get to spend more time with Emery, away from Emery's hectic work schedule back in Austin. But, there's more to the request than Emery's letting on, and there's more to Jordan's willingness to help than she wants to admit. Faking it is all about the spin, but when lines begin to blur, both women have to decide if falling in love for real is worth the jump.

Contains mature themes.

An OK book

A week in Hawaii is the background of the story, a sad past love and a friendship leading to love, is an OK book not really any drama.
Narration as always was excellent and that saved the book.

Cute love story

I really enjoyed this book, characters were great at times predictable but still likeable. Lori Prince can read anything and it's magic, you'll surely enjoy this story.

Angsty, hot, slow burn

This was a sweet story with lots of angst, heat, and a slow burn. Both of the MCs were likable and relatable. The only thing I wish is that the book was longer. I feel like there could have been more content in the beginning to give the MCs’ relationship a backstory. It would have been great to watch them become friends and navigate their emerging feelings before taking the trip to Hawaii. Overall, this was a wonderful listen, and Lori Prince was excellent as always.

Great story; bad ending

I enjoyed the story despite the fact that it did not develop the cast of characters as well as I would have liked. It won’t keep me from trying another book from this amazingly descriptive author. She makes it easy to visualize every scene and I love it.

Pretty good

This is not my first Monica McCallan book, I did enjoyed the story but it did had a lot of angst, needed to take a break during my listen. Story it's a bit far fetch, but it's good book nonetheless.

story is kind of scattered, I was a bit scattered.

I think Monica has talent and this book will be one I listen to again. Lori Prince is almost always good in her narration. If the story had more cohesiveness, it would have been a five star. Jackson
Told you, I listened to the book again. Must have been off when I listened the first time. I really liked it the second time around. Changed my overall rating to 5 stars.

Prince saves the day

I bought the book because of narrator, I enjoy her readings. The book was ok.

Bored

This book took forever to get going and once it did, the writer did not keep it up. I would listen to it to help me nap and it worked every time.

Ok

Not her best book, very predictable and a bit to much angst. Lori Prince made me stay with it.

Not bad, but..

It was another book where the leads just don’t talk to each other when they know they should.

Friends-to-lovers, fake relationship, angst.

If that’s what you seek, look no further.
