Resumen del Editor

Firebrand chose me. Me!

I'd be flattered if I didn't know the all-alpha band has chewed through at least six other band managers in as many years.

But I won't be their next ex-manager. I've been waiting for my shot, a chance to prove myself, and this is it. I will not mess it up. Jax, Dylan, Asher, and Holden will be whipped into shape if it's the last thing I do on this earth.

I will not break. I will not give in to their charm. Not even when my body betrays me, its beta chemistry shifting in a way that I don't understand. That I can't control.

I'm so close to the future I always dreamed of. There's no way I'm going to let four bad boy alphas and one wild heat ruin everything… am I?

Crescendo is a standalone omegaverse romance told from multiple points of view. It is a why-choose romance where all the focus is on the female main character, and a happily ever after is guaranteed.

Awesome Story!!

I love the autho'rs style and the narration is top notch. I enjoy the amount of interactions between the main characters and even the side characters who are also sufficiently fleshed out. Can be read as a standalone with minimal ties to the author's other books in this Omegaverse although I enjoy the little mind niggles that occur when I am reminded of the touching stories about the few crossover characters. HEA guaranteed and less darkness than some of the hardcore dark romances -- fewer triggers which makes the overall experience much more enjoyable for me. Lastly, for those who are more traditional, only the Omega interacts intimately with her Alphas. I don't mind some well written MM scenes, but I know it is not everyone's cup of tea.

Excellent!

I couldn’t stop once I started! The story was great and so was the narration 😍

Loved it!

Great story, great narration, I loved it! Kelsey always kills it. This is my first time listening to Jarman and I was blown away. It’s always difficult for me to follow when one narrator is voicing multiple characters, but it was super easy to distinguish each here.

The only tiiiiiiiiiiiiny con I have to share is I wish we got just a bit more of the guys’ histories. But even without that, I still gave it 5* all the way!

Love this narrator duo!!

Let me first get the narration out of the way....I absolutely love these two, this male narrator is in my top 3 male narrators and he did not disappoint in this one. I loved all his inflections, the rollercoaster of emotions he had to exude, and the steam and romance he helped curate that made for such an engaging story. The female narrator is also one of my favorites. I do listen at 1.5-1.6X speed FYI (I am not a fan of slow listening haha). The female narrator did an incredible job bringing Josie to life. She was such a BA and the narrator did a good job creating that character personality with her voice. Easily 5/5 stars from me for the narration 😍

Story was fabulous, I wish we got more and this wasnt just a standalone! I thought the concept was fun, I love reading/listening to rockstar romances and this one did a good job keeping the theme but adding in the omegaverse and all the heat and tension we ache for. We start off with a bang and the realization about how she slept with was hilarious haha. I loved the jokes in this one, I wasnt expecting as much snark and humor. I liked how different all the guys are. I definitely had 2 favorites haha but all of them were fabulous. (Asher and Dylan and sometimes Holden haha) I was annoyed with how some of them treated Josie but they all got their head on straight finally. Enjoyed the concept of a beta all her life and turned omega. I have read one of those before (Kathryn Moon and Baby) but this one had the added awesome element of a rockstar romance and the author did an epic job with the well-developed characters and subplots. I loved their 1-1 time with her but we got some more steamy scenes with more than one partner. I really enjoyed listening to them fall in love and battling to stay together.

I also thought the main plot with the record label/in charge council thing was well done. I loved seeing Josie stick up for her band and then them in turn protecting her and being there for her when they wanted to fire her and when she was a sub-citizen as an omega. Loved it all! I do wish there was an attached epilogue for the audiobook. I know the author wrote one after the release but it would have been amazing to have it as a part of the audio so we all could enjoy it.

Really enjoyed this one, can’t wait for more omegaverse romances from this author and hopefully more in audio as well ❤️
