Love Me Harder

De: Nikki Ash

Narrado por: Marie Hawkins, Theo Sinclair

From author Nikki Ash comes a new, contemporary, stand-alone romance.

Live hard. Love harder. Trapped under my controlling mother’s expectations and rules, I’ve lived my life for everyone but me. My only escape—a carefully guarded list of things I can only dream of doing. One by one, I slowly find the courage to start living. And that dream becomes a reality the moment my lips crash against a mysterious stranger’s in a drunken attempt to check another item off my list. Only I wasn't prepared for how that one kiss would alter the course of my entire life. In a single night, everything changes.

Ethan Romero is the opposite of everything I’ve ever known. He’s the dark to my light. The corruption to my innocence. He shows me that life is more than a list of experiences to check off. It’s about living in the moment so you don’t miss the ones not on the list—the ones you didn’t even know you wanted.

Couldn't stop listening

Idk what I was expecting but man did this book deliver and them some. It completely kept me enthralled from the very beginning. I couldn't put it down. Especially with Before I die. These two had me completely and utterly hooked. The narrators did amazing bringing Ethan and Neveah to life.

Great

Ethan and Nevaeh

The narrators did a great job. This one started a bit iffy but then Nevaeh had a change of attitude. Ethan kept coming to make everything right. I found this entertaining and interesting. I kept wondering how this was going and how it was going to end. This was a bit different than what I'm used to from this author but was still great.

Love, Lists and Life

Nevaeh is the light and everything pure to Ethan's dark morally gray personality. A random meeting/kiss starts things off for this couple. When Nevaeh finds herself in a very precarious situation, she isn't sure if Ethan is the angel or villain in her story. As these two spend more time together we learn what broke Ethan and also get a chance to see Nevaeh help him find his way to the light again. I really enjoyed getting to see these characters deal with everything life challenging them with.

Opposites attract

This was a great love story with a steamy slow burn. This audiobook is performed by Marie Hawkins and Theo Sinclair. This is Ethan and Nevaeh's story. Nevaeh has grown up in a super strict, religious family and now that she's in her 20s she wants to spread her wings and experience life. When she runs into her ex in a club, she ends up randomly kissing a handsome stranger at the bar to save face. The handsome man is Ethan and he can't believe his luck because he had been eyeing up the beautiful woman in white. This romance turns out to have many suspense elements, there is a situation with Nevaeh's brother that must be uncovered. And many secrets will come to light. This was a great romantic suspense. The narrators did a wonderful job of not only portraying Ethan and Nevaeh, but also the side characters. Nevaeh's mom was a real pill and I thought her character did a good job of handling that relationship. I loved Ethan as the dominant, charming, alpha club owner. It was quite the story of opposites attract with Nevaeh being the innocent inexperienced type. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Perhaps it's fate....

Perhaps it's fate when Ethan and Nevaeh, who should be oil and water to each other, unexpectedly meet through a random kiss but meet again in the most unlikely of ways. Nevaeh finds herself in serious danger when the stranger she kissed shows up and ends up being her unlikely guardian angel. There are layers to Ethan and emotional wounds which she helps to heal as unexpected love ties the two together. With a cute epilogue, their love story is wrapped up nice and neat completing an enjoyable read with narrators that brought the story to life.

Belief in Angels

Ethan Romero and Nevaeh (Angel) Hansen are night and day different, but once they get past some... events, I love how they mesh.

I love how they meet. Some crazy shenanigans bring them together again in a very unconventional way. Despite his best efforts, Ethan is a goner, and it's fantastic and fiery! 😆❤️‍🔥

Even with the losses and upheaval that they experience, I adore how this ends. It's a fitting conclusion. 🩷🥳

This toys with being a dark romance but doesn't really commit to it, in my opinion. Yes, there are some events that cross that line, but I'd classify this as dark-ish.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators, Theo Sinclair and Marie Hawkins, are a good combination. I really wish this was done in duet though. 🎧🩷🎧

So good!

A young woman trying to break away from a controlling mother to find herself and live her own life makes a list of things she wants to experience before she dies. An encounter with her ex-boyfriend has her kissing a stranger in a bar. Little did she know, this stranger will change her life forever as well as help her cross items on her list.

This story is so good! There is family drama, tragedy, betrayal and an HEA neither seen coming! Great narration!

Great Book!

Ethan and Nevaeh unexpectedly meet and kiss at a bar when she is being bothered by her ex.  They go their own way and don’t meet up again until he shows up looking for his associate and finds her at his house.  This was definitely an opposites attract love story for Ethan and Nevaeh.  I loved the mystery, suspense and eventual HEA in this story.  Marie Hawkins and Theo Sinclair did a great job narrating this story.
