Behind the Count

Cessna U Wildcats, Book 2

De: Kimberly Readnour

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett, Michael Gallagher

Dating my brother’s best friend? Yeah, that’s forbidden...

Noah Geren. Cessna University’s starting catcher. Sensible. My life-long crush. And totally off-limits. I only want a few things in life. Graduate with a fashion degree. To be taken seriously. And Noah Geren. After my first year of college, I let the idea of him go. And it almost worked. Until that late summer night.

Shannon Smith. My best friend’s sister. The secret star of my late-night fantasies. Hotter than sin. Unattainable.

There’s a code among best friends and teammates - no dating their sisters. Too bad I didn’t listen. One weak moment changed everything. And nothing at all. I’m not good for her.

They call me the sensible one, but the more Shannon and I are forced to be together, staying away makes less sense. And the reasons become hard to remember. But I need to stay strong. For reasons she’ll never understand.

Book two in the Cessna U Wildcats series, Behind the Count, is a best friend's sister, stand-alone romance. If you like sexy, hot baseball players, click to add Noah Geren.

Can't Stop Living For 'Maybes or What-Ifs'

If I didn't take anything else from this title, I took away that. As far as this worn-out trope of 'crush on brother's friend' goes, "Behind The Count" was fairly decent, I thought the MFC was foolish for wanting to take part in a run knowing she has heart problems and on top of that she didn't bother to eat and drink properly - her excuse for not listening to her body is that she's been 'too busy'. Noah's fear for not wanting to be a burden to Shannon - he thinks ALS is in his future as his father died from it, but at the same time I still kind of rolled my eyes at him because it hadn't been confirmed that he had it and even then he might not get it for another couple of decades - so...wasted time and the reason for a 3rd act break-up. The performance enhanced the story, Michael Gallagher is the reason why I gave this title a try and he did not disappoint.

4 Starz - worthy of a repeat listen, but I won't

Fabulous Story & Narration🎧Captivating & Heartfelt

Kimberly Readnour bats another awesome new adult sports romance out of the park! This is this second book of her “Cessna U Wildcats” and it just as amazing as the first book was and just as captivating too, once I started the book I did not want to put it down. The author continues to create storylines and characters that are realistic and easy to relate to. I adored the two lead characters, Noah Geren and Shannon Smith, there is a lot of history between them, they know each other since they were kids. Noah was the boy next door and Shannon’s older brother, Braxton’s best friend. Noah and Shannon always clicked, even when they were younger they looked out for each other. Both are now students in Cessna University, Shannon crushes on Noah more than ever but there is one problem, Braxton would not approve, plus there is a no touch policy on team players sisters. But when circumstances bring them even closer their attraction to each other gets harder to deny. I loved how everything plays out in this book, there is a lot going on with each character and their story is beautifully plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt and emotional moments all leading to a wonderful friends to lovers romance. Kimberly Readnour, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Sarah Puckett and Michael Gallagher are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They are awesome at portraying the characters, grasping each role and making it their own. Sara Puckett was the perfect Shannon as was Michael Gallagher’s Noah. Sara was awesome with the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart both put into their work as they capture the characters emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fabulous listen🎧
