Emma's Story Series Box Set: A Night to Forget & The Day to Remember

Emma's Story, Books 1 and 2

De: Jessica Wood

Narrado por: Lynn Barrington

What happens in Cancun doesn't always stay in Cancun.

When Emma Anderson and her friends decided to spend their senior year Spring Break in Cancun, she expected some crazy memories to end their final college days. What Emma didn't expect was to meet Brandon Fisher. Tall and sexy, with dimples that would make any girl swoon, Brandon Fisher was literally the man of Emma's dreams. She couldn't quite believe that this stranger, who seduced her every night in her dreams, actually existed.

After serendipitously bumping into each other, Emma could not resist Brandon's pull and spent an unforgettable night with him. Passing it off as a spring break fling, Emma never expected to see Brandon again. But when she started her first day at her new job a few months later, there he was.

When Emma begins to fall in love with the man from her dreams, she wasn't expecting that both her and Brandon's secrets and pasts would threaten to pull them apart.

Will Emma and Brandon's inextricable pull for one another be strong enough to withstand the external factors that seem to pull them apart, or will Emma's dream man be nothing but just that - a dream?

This is a great story to listen to

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes always it's a great story.

Not typical of most NA books

This NA story is not typical for the genre; it's not full of angst or rebellion or pain. It is a simple story of love at first sight. While the characters do face certain obstacles to their happiness, the characters continued to feel a little naive to me and I never felt they grew as characters or people very much.

The first book is written in first person and is entirely from Emma's POV. The second book was still written in first person, but suddenly the author starts head hopping. Thankfully, each change of POV is titled with whose head we are in. But after spending an entire previous book hearing only Emma's POV, every single switch jarred me out of the story. I never did feel like I understood the other characters. Please note that the narrator did a great job of differentiating the voices; it wasn't her fault that I couldn't get into the other POVs.

Love Story

You will love these books! In the first book we meet Emma, who is coming out of a long term relationship. She goes to Mexico on spring break where she literally meets the man of her dreams, Brandon. Emma thinks she will never see him again, but months later he ends up being her boss. Brandon's life is complicated and his ex tries to tear them apart. She too has secrets in her past. You will love how their story comes together.

What dreams are made of...

Where does Emma's Story Series Box Set: A Night to Forget & The Day to Remember rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really enjoyed the Audio book. The Narrator was great and really lent herself to the story to allow enjoyment by the listener. I have only listened to a handful of audio books but the narrator made this one of the better ones to listen to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Emma's Story Series Box Set: A Night to Forget & The Day to Remember?

I liked the part when Emma realized she had dreamed part of what had happened between her and Brandon. He literally was the man of her dreams and it was great to see how her dreams factored into her reality. The story was well put together and had much of the conflict on both sides as well as the underlying love that makes you want to keep going and rooting for them to make it in the end.

What does Lynn Barrington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think the way she narrated the books was spot on the how I could see the characters. I have heard other books where the Narrator completely ruins the story by being over the top but I think Lynn did a great job giving just enough to enhance the story without going over the edge.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did want to listen to this all in one sitting and had a hard time shutting it off. I have a long commute and tend to listen to audio books on my commute and I started this over a holiday weekend thus kept trying to find time to listen to a few more chapters as I could not wait to see what would happen next.

Any additional comments?

Overall I thought this was a great listen and a wonderful story. I would highly recommend it!!
