Publisher's summary

Be careful what you wish for . . .

Lt. Grayson Masters is focused on graduating from the Apache helicopter course, and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate Samantha Fitzgerald distracting him. While her smart mouth and free spirit are irresistibly irritating, he can't deny their off-the-charts chemistry, no matter how hard he tries.

Having just been expelled from college, Sam has no business digging for Grayson's secrets while she's hiding her own, but that doesn't stop her from trying to tear down his walls. Each barrier she busts through drops one of her own, though, and she's not prepared for the truth: another woman laid claim to Grayson's heart long ago.

Falling in love is something neither Grayson nor Sam can afford, and when that line is crossed and secrets are exposed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers that will put you through hell.

Contains mature themes.

Loved the story

Female narrator made it difficult to listen. Make voices are definitely not her strong suit. Love the male narrator

Narration

The female narrator was extremely difficult to tolerate. Her male voice made the character sound like a buffoon. Male narrator made it possible to listen to the end

Good story, not so good narration by female lead

The female narrator was not my cup of tea at all. Her version of Grayson was just not pleasing to the ears. She was ok when reading as Sam but lord she needs to stay away from attempting male voices. If I hadn’t wanted to hear the next book in this series, I would have DNF’ed the audio.

Beautiful love story

My favorite book series. They are ALL so good. My only complaint was the female voice, it seemed too mature for what I pictured for the female lead.

Beyond what is given

I really enjoy these books. The only distraction was hearing the narrator grab a breath and swallow. Other than that, I love the whole thing

The overall theme of never giving up throughout the main storyline and the smaller events contributing to the main storyline.

The story line was fantastic. Had just enough emotion to keep me on the edge of my seat. Couldn’t stop listening. I did not enjoy the reader Andelerele Ojo when she read for Grayson. It made him sound unintelligent and not sexy which was a contradiction to his character.

Female narrators “male” voice

Her narration for female character was okay, but the male parts of her narration were annoying and made male sound “old”…

Loved story! Love this series! Horrendous female narrator!

First off I have listened to and read most of Rebecca Yarros’ books. I love her writing and how she can suck me into her worlds so easily. Sam and Greyson I connected so well with there story. The only downside to this audio is the female voice! You can hear her swallow!!! It is so distracting! She did not do this book the justice it deserves! Her voice for the male characters make them sound creepy and disgusting. Her voice for Delaney is perfect tho, just what I imagine her tiny little four year old voice to sound like! The voices she cast for Ember and Paisley and everyone else are so horrifying! Rebecca please tell your company to have someone re-record her part!!! I absolutely think Teddy Hamilton carried this book! The only reason I finished the audio. I would have rather had him read the whole book and do the girl part. His female voices were better than hers!
