Exclusively Yours

By: Shannon Stacey

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

When Keri Daniels’ editor finds out she has previous carnal knowledge of reclusive best-selling author Joe Kowalski, she gives Keri a choice: get an interview or get a new job.

Joe’s never forgotten the first girl to break his heart, so he’s intrigued to hear Keri’s back in town—and looking for him. Despite his intense need for privacy, he’ll grant Keri an interview if it means a chance to finish what they started in high school.

He proposes an outrageous plan—for every day she survives with his family on their annual camping and four-wheeling trip, Keri can ask one question. Keri agrees; she’s worked too hard to walk away from her career.

But the chemistry between them is still as potent as the bug spray, Joe’s sister is out to avenge his broken heart, and Keri hasn’t ridden an ATV since she was 10. Who knew a little blackmail, a whole lot of family, and some sizzling romantic interludes could make Keri reconsider the old dream of Keri & Joe 2gether 4ever.

Critic reviews

"Stacey’s writing is sharp and sexy and this second-chance story is perfectly hilarious... I enjoyed this book so much - if it were printed on paper I’d hit people with it until they read it." (Sarah Wendell, Salon.com)

second chance

this is a fast, but lovely second chance romance story. it was a fun listen, but had visited many deep feelings. i recommend this book to others in the romance package

Excellent

Great plot and character development and engaging sexual and personal context. This was my first exposure to this author and I am anxiously awaiting future publications.

Fantastic narrator and very good story

I love it when the narrator makes a good story great and that is just what happened here. I think Lauren Fortrang is my new favorite narrator (beating out a 2 year record of Lynn Redgrave who I still think is amazing. I listen to audio books while I work and pull out my ereader to read a different book on breaks and lunches but I was enjoying this book so much I actually sat and listened to it during my breaks instead of reading. And when I got home I went and purchased 5 more books with the same narrator because she is just awesome! I also purchased the sequel to this book and I am enjoying it just as much (same narrator too). I think Shannon Stacey and Lauren Fortrang are an amazing power duo!

Great read

The characters just meshed. Love the interactions between them.

Will read her other books.

what could go wrong on a camping trip?

I love this book, it has lead me to a rapid read of the entire series! Its a sweet book for all who remember their first true love. The Kowalski family makes me want to be part of their family and that is why this light leisten is perfect for anyone who wants to just lighten their heart. I must mention that Lauren Fortgang is officially my third best narrator! I can wait to listen to her narrate the rest of this series for me.

An easy listen with fun visuals.

What made the experience of listening to Exclusively Yours the most enjoyable?

The narrators voice was always pleasant and the story was very sweet.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It is fine just the way it is.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where they get into the mud and the girls get soaked and muddy.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Childhood friends are the best friends.

Loved it!

One of my new faves. Great performance by the reader. Endearing story of reuniting high school sweethearts.

I didn’t have high hopes for this audiobook

It’s not my usual cup of tea, and I’m not a huge fan of single narration...But I kinda loved this story. It’s a second chance romance and its sweet with some real life angsty moments. The narrator was excellent at doing both make and female voices! Will be reading the next book in the series!

nice easy listen

ok, so this isnt gonna win any awards, but after listening to the intense, action packed, emotional roller coaster of the red rising trilogy ( which i highly recommend), i was ready for something short and sweet. this had some hot scenes, cute scenes and fun scenes. just wjat i needed for some light entertainment

Enjoyable read

Would you listen to Exclusively Yours again? Why?

Probably not, but I would listen to the others in the series and plan to buy them one day. I don't think I would listen to even my most loved books again, that's just not something I do.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the development of the side characters, it made the story more rich.

Any additional comments?

There was a bit of an over-use of the word "Babe". I also didn't like how they set up one of the sex scenes much earlier in the book with the male character thinking about the logistics of how he would "do it". Then it actually happened at the end of the book and he went about his plan. It would have been better to just do it at the end of the book and just have it be spontaneous.
