Not as good as the first book in the series

The characters just were not engaging and it did not hold my attention very well.

Excellent

This is book 2 in the series, and it was excellent. I enjoy the characters and the narrator does such a good job of bringing them to life. I look forward to book 3.

Good wholesome read

I was apprehensive getting this group of books by Ava Miles, but I am so glad I did. I love books that are in a group I have read many trilogies and wished they would write another. I am not done with this group that Ava wrote but I will buy more for sure. Can’t wait to start the next book. Read from book 1, Nora Roberts Land, I picked that book because I love Nora Roberts so the title had me enthused and I really liked it. If you too like Nora Roberts definitely start with that book, I guarantee she will have you hooked!

A rollercoaster

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

Fantastic storyline, out of the ordinary.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That must be Jill herself., She is a riot.

What does Em Eldridge bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Giving the craze of the story and extra bump.

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

Their first love making and fight thereafter

Any additional comments?

Fantastic story. Surely something like Nora Roberts yes but the author have more zest and zing to her novels. Fab!

Premise odd

Guy has been part of family. Out with heroine so often she wants him to be her first. But guy walks away to prove himself. Book gets better. But start just off.

Entertaining romantic fluff

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

If you like romance you will enjoy this story otherwise forget it.

What does Em Eldridge bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She makes the characters and their emotions come alive.

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