Drives Me Crazy

Lesson in Love

De: Tara September

Narrado por: Alan Stone, Sylvia Gonçalves

What happens when Miss Perfect meets Mr. Penalty?

He’s a rulebreaker with heart. She’s a rule follower with ambition. Can teaming up on a college service project abroad bring these two opponents together? Together, they might just rewrite each other’s playbooks.

VALERIE:

I’m wearing many hats my senior year at Thatcher College—Sorority president, Honor Code Review member, Beyond Borders Teaching Chair—and there are just six more months until graduation. All my careful planning is paying off, just like my parents and I knew it would. The one hiccup? Or maybe the solution? Enlisting, or rather coercing, the help of soccer player Diego Delarosa. And when I say player, I mean player. At least that’s what I’ve always thought—cocky, frustrating, infuriating … and possibly the exact kind of chaos I didn’t know I needed. Who knew a routine teaching trip would lead to an adventure of a lifetime?

DIEGO:

Soccer is my life. My future. My everything. No backup plan needed—especially not one designed by a bossy, high-achieving blonde with a folder for everything. But when I get caught skipping a class I technically passed, I’m sentenced to two weeks of community service in a small town in Mexico under the watchful eye of Valerie Perkins, a.k.a. Miss Perfect. She’s driven, intimidating, and way out of my league … and I can’t stop thinking about her. This was supposed to be a punishment. Turns out, it might be the best play I’ve ever made.

Welcome back to Thatcher College, where opposites attract and worlds collide. The Lesson in Love series features interconnected, new adult standalone romances set on a small, private college campus in New England where the good girl gets stuck with the bad boy, and she’s not happy about it. That is, until their chemistry together makes her question everything she thought she knew about him.

I loved Valerie and Diego!

Drives me Crazy is part of the Lessons in Love series, and I think it’s the best one so far.
I totally loved Valerie and Diego together. Who could have known that these opposites in character would be so attracted to one another! Certainly not them! Such a sweet ending and a cute epilogue.

Both narrators (Alan Stone & Sylvia Gonçalves) did a good job. I really enjoyed listening to them!

Diego and Valerie

The fourth story in the Lesson in Love series, a well written story I ennjoyed listening to. Valerie Perkins and Diego Delarosa’s great characters and a compelling storyline that culminated in a very satisfying happy ending. I enjoyed listening to Alan Stone nd Sylvia Gonçalves narrate this story.

College romance

This was a college romance story that was interesting because of the characters backgrounds and how they come to appreciate each other after many assumptions are dispelled. As I listened to Valerie and Diego’s story I appreciated the dual perspectives along with the narrators bringing “life” to them. Overall the story was fairly tame until the epilogue. Definitely on the spicy side which I could have done without.

College Romance

This is the second book I've read/listened to by Tara September. I enjoyed it much more. The two characters, Diego and Valerie, had to grown on me, but they did. It was a heartwarming, shorter listen that I'm glad I picked up.

The narrators did a great job. Sylvia Gonçalves was new to me and I've listened to several of Alan Stone's narrations. I enjoyed both of their performances. They were perfect for the roles!

A Soccer Romance

I was entertained by this story. I enjoyed this tale which featured two characters who were opposites of one another as Valerie was driven by rules and lists, while Diego was easy going and more free-spirited. I thought there were some cute moments and fun times as Valerie and Diego learned to understand one another and stumbled down their path of love. I thought Alan Stone's and Sylvia Gonçalves' dual narrations enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Cute short story

So if you've read the previous books, which I think helps a lot to understand where the surprise of these two ending up together comes from, you know Diego's less than stellar reputation with the ladies and his nickname that coincides with that. The playboy meets his match though when forced to work with Valerie, and the two discover love that has the power to change their life plans. I thought this was a cute short story and the narrators brought thevstory to life.

Sports romance

Drives Me Crazy by Tara September is an excellent sport romance. Alan Stone and Sylvia Gonçalves did an excellent job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, romantic, enjoyable, funny, and more. Drives Me Crazy is the fourth book in Lesson in Love series. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. highly recommended
