Awakened

Awakened Fate, Book 2

De: Cara Malone

Narrado por: Charlie L. Wood

Once they’ve been awakened to love, can Morgan and Leah ever go back to sleep? Leah McAllister is starting a new job in a bland maze of tan cubicles where she hopes to blend in with her surroundings – she’s had enough attention for one lifetime. What she never expects is to find herself working under Morgan, a mesmerizing woman who turned her world upside down when they met one year before. A lot can change in a year, though, and Morgan Park is a different person now. She’s reserved and sullen, and trying to get over a broken heart that came with a heavy dose of guilt after her troubled girlfriend, Allison, disappeared one day leaving Morgan with nothing more than a vague goodbye note.

Thrust together in the cramped quarters of a cubicle, Morgan and Leah can’t deny – or resist – the forces of attraction driving them together. Morgan even begins to think she can find happiness again when Allison suddenly blows back into town with a terrible secret that threatens to tear Morgan and Leah apart permanently.

Is the mystery of Allison’s lost year enough to destroy Morgan and Leah’s budding relationship?

Listened Twice...Incredible Both Times

Cara Malone is one of those authors where I can pick anything from her library of titles and always get a good one. Awakened is a story of love at first sight. The sparks exist at all times between Morgan and Leah. From the first interview where the two kiss in a bathroom to when they are put together in the workplace and Morgan has to train Leah. The sexual tension is amazing and Cara does an excellent job of giving you little bits of heat here and there until she is ready to open the gates and let you feel the full fire. Charlie L. Wood does a great job of narration, giving each of the characters unique voices and providing just the right amount of acting to add to the story without overdoing it.

This was a quick listen for me and one that I have enjoyed twice now. It is one that I would pick up again when I need to hear a spicy, building romance. It is highly recommended.

HEA but where was the relationship build up?

Yes it has a HEA and spice but, there was 0 relationship building. Just a kiss then sexual tension and then ex drama followed by HEA. I listened to it a second time and liked it better than the first listen.

Unrealistic

Horrible depiction of bipolar 2 and mental health issues in general. A psychiatrist would not approach treatment the way that’s depicted in this book. The whole thing was just far-fetched and unrealistic.
