Great Listen

This is another great story by Carrie Ann Ryan. This story is everything you ever wanted in a book. Once you start, I promise you will not be able to stop listening. You will not be disappointed.

Erin and Devon's Story is So Good

I loved this book! Devin and Erin started as friends, then friends with benefits but what they had soon grew into so much more. Devon had dated her sister many years ago when they were both in high school, it was never serious and they had both moved on but remained friends. Erin had married Nick her sweetheart from the age of 10 and thought they would be together for the rest of their lives. But whilst attending their Ten Year High School Reunion she discovered Nick with another woman. She's devastated and goes to a bar to drown her sorrows and it's there she meets Devon. He's a good friend to her, he makes sure she's ok, he takes her back to his house and lets her sleep it off on his couch, he's the perfect gentleman.

Erin's father left them when she was very young and now her ex has in effect left her too and because of that, she's afraid to be hurt again. So when she and Devon decide that they like each other and want to see more of each other she agrees on the condition that it doesn't become serious, she is not looking to be hurt again!

As for Devin, everything is going well for him his life is on track both his life and his job make him happy and everything is how he wants it to be that is until he runs into Erin, who is in a bad place her heart has been broken by finding her husband cheating. They come to an understanding but then things get more serious than either of them planned.

The book also gives us glimpses of family members and friends and mentions characters readers of Carrie Anne's Montgomery series will already know. The love of family is strong in this book, as it is in other books by Carrie Anne. But as love started to grow between Devon and Erin, she became afraid that Devon would leave like the other men in her life had, so she decides to end it before he can hurt her.

There is so much more I could say but, no more spoilers from me. What I will say is that the characters are totally believable and very likable too. I loved the family dynamics and the love shared by all. I was engrossed in this well written and moving book from the first word until the last.

The narration of the book by Samantha Cook and Jacob Morgan was excellent, it could not be improved upon and certainly added to my enjoyment of this very moving and engrossing story.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Leaves you Breathless

Every once in awhile a book comes along that is beyond perfection and let me tell you, this is that book. One click, one click,  one click, that is what you really need to do. Breathless with her by Carrie Ann Ryan is astoundingly perfect. Once you start this book you definitely will not be able to put it down. A beautiful addition to a beautiful series.

carrie Ann Ryan does it again!

Story was simple but well told. Glad to see the Montgomery's woven into this spinoff story.

Breathless with Her

This story pulls at all of your emotions as you follow along with the great characters while they struggle with life

The narrators did a good job conveying the emotion throughout the story

Great way to start the series

Great way to start this series - While not Montgomery's they are in-laws and family is very important to this clan as well.

Devin meets up with Erin who he knew years ago, on the night she discovered her husband was cheating on her. Time passes and she's now divorced and runs into Devin and well, friends with benefits ensues.

I loved this book because the way Jacob Morgan delivers all his lines. His inner monologue was quite funny but its in his delivery. Whether it was some comedy or sadness or dramatic his delivery was wonderful.

I love this story of finding your true love, the love you didn't even know you needed, the love you didn't know was missing.

Fantastic first book in new series

Book one of the Less Than series Breathless With Her by Carrie Anne Ryan
Erin is a wedding cake maker and slowly growing into a more independent women with opening her own business.
Erin and Nicholas Erin’s husband go to there high school reunion and while there Erin life falls apart. That when she meets Devin Carr at a bar.
Devin is Dimitri Carr brother from previous Montgomery book and Devin is a sexy tattooed postal worker who has everything in life a job he loved a house and a close busy family but no love of his life.
I really enjoyed this book especially with main female character having a lot of baggage and Devin having Baggage but dealed with it in a healthy way and at some point helps Erin how to too.
This book was made into a audiobook and had different narrators then the one used in previous books, this is first time I’ve heard Samantha Cook and Jacob Morgan narrate but as usual Carrie Ann Ryan really picks awesome with narrators.
Looking forward to more in series especially the rest of the Carr family but also Devin bff.

Another awesome spinoff...

Devin Carr is a great character, he is loving and protective of his family and that carries on to his relationships. He meets Erin who doesn’t want a forever. Just a rebound guy. I like that it was him who pined for her. And although she was in denial the chemistry is super hot, but their feelings... all the feelings... were trying to get squashed... great narration too from both Cook and Morgan.

Heartfelt Story

This audiobook was narrated so well and on point. Both the narrators were outstanding. This was a first book by this author for me and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of writing. It will definitely not be my last. The storyline was a really good one and nothing like I’ve read or heard before. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. I loved the characters and the little lol moments in the book. There were some sad parts but not enough to break up tissues which I appreciated since I wanted a light hearted listen. This book had all the touchy feely moments too. Many thanks to the author for a good story with the HEA we all seek and truly want.

Friends with benefits

Erin and Devin begin as friends with benefits. Devin feels like he wants more but doesn't want to push Erin who has just come out of a bad marriage. Will Erin be able to overcome her fear of being abandoned to embrace her feelings for Devin before it's too late? I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. I enjoyed the narration by Samantha Cook and Jacob Morgan.
