Hands Down

By: Mariana Zapata

Narrated by: Callie Dalton, Chris Brinkley

Length: 15 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack".

Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.)

She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.

Love

I love Mariana Zapata! If you haven't listened to any of her other books go find them. You'll not be disappointed

Soooo worth the wait!!

Big sighhh! I absolutely loved it. No one does Slow Burn as well as Mariana Zapata. I knew the wait would be worth it! oh and Callie is always the best!!!

what is right in front of you

Great slow burn romance. love both the book and audio book versions. call ie Dalton is one of my favorite narrators. loved the duet narration giving Zach his own personality. the audio book brought each scene to. reading Lone was an awesome story but my mind didn't give the characters hers justice. I suggest both but either will get you to where you want to go!

Cute and fun

Callie Dalton is always amazing and Chris Brinkley...holy only be rocked Zac's voice (swoon).

I loved reading Zac's and Bianca's story. I hate that if they'd communicated a little more, the 10 year gap would never have happened, but I could totally see that happening in real life. They were cute together and it was fun seeing Aiden and Van again. I'll definitely be reading this over and over again, just like Zapata's other books.

Another knockout!

I really enjoy Marianas slow burn. It seems realistic, the characters get to know each other and build a relationship.

another hit

Loved the book and the conclusion of Zach's story. Well written story well paced. enjoyed reading this book.

Great!

Absolutely loved this one! Amazing narration as well! Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a slow burn.

Hands Down one of my fave books by Zapata!

Looooooved the book! So glad Zack got his own book! I love Callie and Chris's performances. Great listen and read!

Just perfect.

There is absolutely not one thing I can find to say that is negative about this book or the narration. I loved Mariana Zapata already, but there is usually at least one little thing that would stand out in most books that just does not sit right, like a pulled stitch in a sweater. Not here. Nothing but smooth comfort and love. If you are looking for a book to remind you of what feeling truly safe, warm, and tucked in feels like, this is it. And, Good Gravy, the way the narration was done with a true back and forth between narrators and not one chapter of one then the other where you have to get used to the characters sounding different depending on which narrator was speaking, was the best experience. Callie and Chris both are always good but THIS book, just magic. I am so sad it is over. This is definitely one that I will listen to again and again.

I love Mariana Zapata books. She never disappoints. I especially love her books involving sports figures. This book is about an aging football player who is just released from his team. He is living the life that most of us would expect of professional football players -fast cars, beautiful women and lots of parties. When his beloved grandfather gets sick, his friend's cousin has to find him and tell him. This is a slow burn story with plenty of back story and character building. I hope you enjoy it like I did. Callie Dalton and Chris Brinkley are awesome narrators! They are totally believable in their characters. There are some great narrators on Audible and I would count Callie Dalton and Chris Brinkley right up there! Thanks for an enjoyable and fun listen.
