Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail

De: Ashley Herring Blake

Narrado por: Kristen DiMercurio

An interior designer who is never without the perfect plan learns to renovate her love life without one in this new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care.

For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she’s been focused on her career—her friends might say she’s obsessed, but she knows she’s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn’s renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.

However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru’s granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family’s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid’s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means. Is she going to pursue the life that she’s expected to lead or the one that she wants?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ashley Herring Blake knocks it out of the park again with a rivals-to-lovers story with a big beating heart! She has a knack for writing characters who feel like they could be your friends—flawed women with complex inner lives who leap off the page with personality. I wanted to give Astrid a giant hug; I wanted to give Jordan my number. Bright Falls is a world I want to live in, and I can't wait to return to!"—Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive

Brava!

This is a must read. The story is fun, romantic and just the right amount of angst. I laughed at moments and shouted advice at others. Astrid and Jordan won my heart.

Loved it

I would definitely recommend this. I enjoyed the narration and the story was so good.

Loooovvveeeddddd

I love these stories about these ladies. This Trilogy has been wonderful so far. This is my fav so far. Astrid and Jorden are so freaking adorable. I highly recommend and of course just like Delilah doesn’t care this has spice and oh is it spicy. A must have in your collection. Not to mention Kristien did a fantastic job narrating this.

Excellent story

I so enjoyed this second book in the series. Building on the characters, digging more deeply into relationships. It’s such a great listen, and the beauty of the place really jumps out of the story. Can’t wait for the next book.

I officially want to live in Bright Falls

Is it possible to be attracted to several fictional characters from the same literary universe? Because sign me up for Delilah Green and now Jordan Everwood. Kristen Dimercurio is fantastic and creating distinct voices and personas for each character, and Ashley Herring Blake creates wonderfully fleshed out, flawed, lovable characters you can really learn to see as real. Loved this and want mooooooore

Great sequel and fun to binge!

Loved the story and the new characters (and old) and I just love the way the author delivers the different perspectives. And the narrator was fantastic, I hope she does the next book too. Can’t wait!

Love this series so much 🫶

This is my 3rd time reading and 2nd time listening to Astrid Parker. The narrator is wonderful and has done a great job brining the cast of characters to life. I was unsure about Astrid’s story because she isn’t very likable in Delilah Green but I grew to love and understand how she has been shaped by her past and her mother. Jordan is my favorite. I love her so much 🥹 they’re just so cute together and I can’t wait to read about Iris next!!

I’ve listened to about 50 audiobooks in the last year and the Bright Falls series is in my top 5. I always come back to them.

Stunning

Opinion:
This is probably one of the cutest romances I have ever read! Literally kicking my feet and blushing! And can I just say the first serious sex scene being a face riding scene was SO TOP TIER! This book so soooooo good so real! I loved true enemy’s to lovers! How they feel into each other so organically! How there wasn’t any shame just them falling into each other! The first book in the series was cute but THIS! This was next level. Never did I think that Astrid would be one of my favorites after seeing how she was in the first book but watching her grow, seeing that she was just a product of her mom being a cunt. I also looooove Jordan! Some of the reactions are so cheesy but it’s so cute. I devoured this in I could not STOP!

Now I want a clit necklace.

Book Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the escape I was looking for

I smiled throughout it’s cute and even teared up at times bc I could relate to Astrid’s struggle with her identity and her career defining her. A beautiful love story with an amazing group of friends!

easy and enjoyable romance

these kinds of finances are just easy feel good romances. love that they are queer. Want to also promotor this author as I appreciate what they stand for.
