Carolina Heat

A Small Town Romcom Box Set (Carolina Classics)

De: Karen Grey

Narrado por: Jack Calihan, Ryan Lee Dunlap, Mackenzie Cartwright, J. F. Harding, Amy McFadden, Maxine Mitchell, Amanda Stribling

In this sweet and steamy bundle of nostalgic romcoms, five found family friends make their mark in the small southern town dubbed the Hollywood of the South, even as they drift apart, fall in love, and come together again.

I’ll Stand By You

Can five friends grow up without growing apart?

Working at a beachfront hotel in their sleepy home town gives five life-long friends the chance to spend as much time as possible together after college graduation—and before real life begins.

You Get What You Give

From insta-lover to insta-enemy. All that, and a bag of chips.

Two TV casting directors—a girl boss and a Hollywood bad boy—go from meet-cute to one-night stand to rivals to lovers.

Hold On To Me

She’s my boss, and she’s a stone-cold fox.

While a former boom guy recuperates from a devastating accident at sea, the only employment he’s fit for is a job few have survived: assisting an older, wiser—and definitely hotter—producer.

Even though this was a quick listen in it, we get to experience a lot of the hardships and emotions that old friendships can go through, especially when presented with that crossroads in life where you need to choose your next step, which would probably take you away from the people you've been closest to for most of your life.

That last chapter was definitely a roller coaster for motion, and the narrators did an excellent job with all the feelings and emotions that were presented throughout the story. I can't wait to see more of everybody throughout the series.

Quote: “No matter how far away you live, if you have to leave, I'll be here for you. This place will be here. Your friends will be here.”

I love all the '90s summer, and the ONS turned rivals to lovers vibes in this story.

I really enjoyed all the back and forth between Nate and Violet and how they ultimately helped each other both professionally and personally. I also felt bad for them because ultimately they were both victims of a feud that had nothing to do with them.

The performance was fantastic, I could almost see everything that was happening. The narrators made it easier to visualize the whole thing.

Quote: “I guess I could hire you, on one condition. You sign some sort of 'it's ok to be səxually harąssed by my boss' clause.”

I really enjoyed this story and JF Harding and Mackenzie Cartwright were absolutely fantastic.

I loved the chemistry between Sully and Helen and the way they tried to fight their attraction towards each other. They were exactly what the other needed to get a new perspective in life and change their status quo.

I also really enjoyed how the author presented women's struggles, specifically in the movie/TV industry.

Quote: “You're the only person I've ever known that can make me not care about anything other than making you laugh. Or møan in pleasure when I cook for you. Or cry out my name when you cøme.”
