Lost and Found

De: Nicole Williams

Narrado por: Kate Metroka

There’s complicated. And then there’s Rowen Sterling.

After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school, but only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.

Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.

Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl, even happily-right-now is a stretch, so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls.

When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked away, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.

Recommended for mature listeners due to moderate language and sexuality. *

Sweet

This is a very sweet YA novel with a simple plot and good character development. A nice choice for a light summer read. The narrator sounds very young but main character is 18 so probably fitting.

Amazing

Love the story line. It was smart and sexy. Keeping you on your toes. The dark and moody to sun and shiny. Just a all around amazing read!

Loved it!

I’d really like to speak to the narrative. I seen many remarks of it lacking or being annoying. I personally thought Kate Metroka did an excellent job and her voice perfectly aligned with the store. I was easily able to incision her as Rowena’s age, this bringing Rowena’s character to life.

The story was sweet and attention grabbing. I am sorry it took so long to read.

Found a Good One!

A young woman seeking redemption, a young man stuck in the only home he's ever known. They come together in an opposites attract moment, and thier story is fun and sweet. Secondary characters add to the story. Unfortunately, the narrator detracts from it. She's a little too high with a nasally, childish voice. I'll be avoiding her in future audiobooks.

Oh boy how I love me a cowboy!

Admittedly I am reviewing this after having already listened to and read the rest of the series. This book remains my favorite, though the others are worth reading. It's fun to learn about everyone and see where they end up. But meeting everyone and learning what started it all is fantastic. I recommend this book and the series!! Now for the negative, it wasn't AS bad in this book as it was the rest, but I was extremely disappointed in Kate Metroka's performance. At risk of being too harsh or critical, I don't believe this is her calling. I'm certainly not saying I could do it better, I just know SOMEONE could. Hope this helps!
