Dark Wild Night Volume 3

De: Christina Lauren

Narrado por: Shane East, Shayna Thibodeaux

From the authors of The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words, the third book in the sexy, fun New York Times bestselling Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet Filthy Boy delivers an irresistible friends to lovers romance full of heart and heat.

Lola and Oliver like to congratulate themselves on having the good sense not to consummate their drunken Las Vegas marriage. If they’d doubled-down on that mistake, their Just Friends situation might not be half as great as it is now.

…Or so goes the official line.

In reality, Lola’s wanted Oliver since day one—and over time has only fallen harder for his sexy Aussie accent and easygoing ability to take her as she comes. More at home in her studio than in baring herself to people, Lola’s instinctive comfort around Oliver nearly seems too good to be true. So why ruin a good thing?

Even as geek girls fawn over him, Oliver can’t get his mind off what he didn’t do with Lola when he had the chance. He knows what he wants with her now…and it’s far outside the friend zone. When Lola’s graphic novel starts getting national acclaim—and is then fast-tracked for a major motion picture—Oliver steps up to be there for her whenever she needs him. After all, she’s not the kind of girl who likes all that attention, but maybe she’s the kind who’ll eventually like him.

Sometimes seeing what’s right in front of us takes a great leap of faith. And sometimes a dark wild night in Vegas isn’t just the end of a day, but the beginning of a bright new life in this steamy but heartfelt rom-com.

Least favorite of this series

The will they or won't they is always necessary, but holy smokes, it goes on for 3.5 hours, and their story just isn't interesting enough to pull that off. I also felt like this Lola was so spineless compared to the Lola in the other novels. The Beautiful series is so much better!

In love with Oliver

Thank you, Christina Lauren for this series. I have become a huge fan of all your books. I'm thankful this book didn't disappoint. Lola and Oliver's story is sweet. It does have its fair share of frustration. It is definitely worth your time.

Ok, but not great

Love these authors; love this series. This one was probably the weakest of the three, though. Story was okay. A little boring. Lacked the excitement of the previous two. I was disappointed because I love nerds, and I never fully understood Oliver. I'll still continue supporting this series. I hope there's a book for Not Joe. He's become a favorite!

Kudos on the great Aussie accent! I looked forward to Oliver's POV to listen to it.

Goos but a little irritating

This was a good listen but nothing like the previous one.
Lola and Oliver love and friendship is cute but annoying.
They keep their distance and deny their love and relation for way too long...
Bored me.

Best book of the series

I love Christina Lauren! Perfect series after finishing the beautiful series! Always wanting more! She gets you attached to the characters so easily. Keep the books coming!

Good story!! But about 50/50 on the narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No, I think I would recommend it was read. The male narration is pretty average. The story itself is good, not my fav from these authors, but still okay. I didn't feel as connected to their story. The conflict/issues felt like a tiny blip in the road rather than much to overcome, which felt a bit of a let down. However, the way that Lola lives in her head is really well done, and could feel the tension. I was getting agitated listening to her stress out, which I guess, is a good thing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Wild Night?

When Lola drew him. That was, well, pretty memorable. *fans self*

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Having an actual Aussie do the male narration would have been better. The accent wasn't unbearable though. However, his depiction of Lola speaking was just awful. The female narration was spot on as usual

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Once you give it all, you really shouldn't take it back.

Any additional comments?

I liked it. I think it'd be a better read than listen on this one, but certainly still worth having in your library. I don't know if this is the end of the series, I'm kinda hoping there will be an epilogue at least that will deal with Not Joe and tell some of his back story.

Nerds in love

I wasn't expecting very much after not really liking the last book in this series, but this book was rad. I liked it a lot! The only thing I didn't like was that the male narrator sounded like John Malkovich when he tried to do a woman's voice.

Wow!

I love this book, I laughed, I smiled, I cried.

Thank you for the ride!

Cool female comic book artist

I really enjoyed the character of Lola the comic book artist who is just hitting the big time and struggling to juggle the demands of her job and love life. Her relationship with Oliver is complex and fraught with unusual tensions and shared interests.

I want more

This was a nice sweet story. Lola is a big comic book author and artist. Oliver is an Australian owner of a comic book store. To me these two were the only one of the three that made sense right away. I loved reading their story. It was sweet and moved at a pace befitting the characters.

I'm hoping that there will be another book to continue their story. I'm short there is a lot more there.
