Fantastic! A great story of first love...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can see why it is popular. If you are looking just for smut, go elsewhere. This has some very erotic scenes, but they are a tasteful part of a story of true love and personal growth that should appeal to nearly everyone.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ana Steel - the main charactor

What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

She was fantastic at bringing the different characters and their moods to life with her delightfully talented voice.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Christian showed up at their apartment while everyone had been worring about his whereabouts.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to read the next book!
