My Favorite Bad Decision

De: Elizabeth O'Roark

Narrado por: Rose Dioro, Grayson Owens

Climbing Kilimanjaro? No thank you.
Climbing it with Miller West? Absolutely f***ing not.

A full week without showers, a real bed, or Internet was bad enough. Spending it with my family’s sworn enemy—the unbearably smug, indecently handsome Miller West—is a bridge too far.

I’m determined to remain enemies, even if sparring with him is my favorite thing in the world. Even if he’s hell-bent on protecting me, whether I need it or not, and surprisingly kind, no matter how awful I am to him.

But eight days is a long time to hate someone you’re sleeping next to.

Especially when you suspect you never hated him at all.

And what happens on Kilimanjaro stays on Kilimanjaro...right?

Amazing, and addicting, enemies-to-lovers romance!

I had so much fun listening to this amazing, and addicting, enemies-to-lovers romance! Miller and Kit's delightful, slow burn story had all the feels, packing so much into it that I didn't want it to end. Kit find's herself forced, by her father, to take a harrowing climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. She didn't expect to have her older sister's ex being there as well. She tried to stay mad at him for the past, but he was attentive and helped her not only survive the climb she wasn't prepared for, but enjoy it as well. Miller enjoyed the snarky banter with Kit. She challenged him, and excited him, ever since she was a teen. When he realized he liked her more than her sister, he left them both behind. Now years later, he is even more attracted to Kit and determined to win her over, and prove he is the perfect partner for her. Kit has always put her family needs before her own. Miller shows her she is so much more and that she should follow her own passion. She has always wanted Miller, but wouldn't want to hurt her sister. Can She find the strength to let go of the past and follow her dreams, with Miller by her side? There was so much to love about this endearing romance with it's compelling characters, heartfelt story, fun banter, and loads of hot sizzling chemistry! I absolutely adored Miller, he was so thoughtful, and swoony, making sure Kit was safe and protected. Kit is smart, and caring, and it was fun watching her challenge Miller and give in to love.
Rose Dioro and Grayson Owens brought this story to life so beautifully. They did a terrific job delivering all of the witty banter, and capturing each characters personality. I love the emotion, and passion they bring to their performances, making me fall for Kit and Miller even harder. This fun, emotional and steamy romance is so engaging, and totally addicting! It is pure magic that captured my heart and made me completely happy!

Elizabeth another flawless enemies to lovers !

Absolutely loved this one! Elizabeth delivers with her new banter and tension filled contemporary romance involving Kit and her trying to fight her attraction to her sister’s ex, Miller. The incorporation of the Kilimanjaro hike was a really cool background piece of the premise. It really highlighted a lot of Kit’s abilities and also tied in some of the tragic parts of her past that have really shaped the way she is. Miller’s relationship with Kit is hilarious and I loved seeing little hints that she’s been the one for him all along. Kit has a lot to work thru with her family and I just wanted to shake her sometimes and tell her that she owes them nothing considering the way they’ve treated her. I was glad her dad and Miller pushed her to reclaim her life and live it the way SHE wants to. Elizabeth gave us the delicious build up and spice that she always does so you won’t be disappointed there 😋 the duet narration from Rose Dioro and Grayson Owens was fantastic! They really brought all the characters to life and made the book even more enjoyable!

Loved This Book!!!

Elizabeth once again writes a fun, emotional, & entertaining book with two wonderful main characters & solid secondary characters. The way she wrote Kit, a typical rich girl who you think is shallow & mean, turns out to be dealing with so much more. This is more than a romance book, it's about not only finding a love that will have your back, but finding the love for yourself, moving on & the getting the happiness you deserve.
Again Elizabeth gives us an MMC that is special. Miller is rich but instead of being a typical rich playboy, he is humbled & knows what he what's in his life. And one of those things is Kit. The book is mostly on Kit's POV but the ones with Miller's POV, just hits home & gives us a MMC that we will always love & remember.
The description of Mt. Kilimanjaro was truly memorizing.
Not only was I invested in the MC's but the other characters as well. She made you feel you part of this journey & maybe for a minute thinking, I would love to do that.
Rose Dior’s & Grayson Owens did an absolutely fantastic job bringing Kit & Miller to life. Their chemistry was spot on. They brought the banter & the emotions. Their talent is amazing and brought their A game in this audiobook.

Incredible

Loved this story it was incredible audio was fantastic loved it being duet
Highly recommend and go in blind to not give story away
Kit goes on this incredible hiking trip her dad planned when her sister ex is on same trip who kit hates
It’s been over 10 years and kit still holds a grudge to miller
Miller is just too sweet and doesn’t take kit nonsense
I can’t wait for more

LOVED!!!!🥰

I loved the angst, messiness, and the pining that was from the beginning to the end of My Favorite Bad Decision. Kit was sent to hike Mount Kilimanjaro to write about it by her dad. Miller, Kit’s sister’s ex-boyfriend from 10 years ago, was in the group. They reconnected on this trip, which was definitely inconvenient as Kit had a boyfriend and her sister felt like he was the one who got away. They were forced to be together on the mountain, and he helped her escape something that could have turned badly for her by giving her a place to hide after the climbing trip. When they got back to their real lives, neither wanted to stop seeing each other, so they snuck around.

I loved Miller and Kit! Both were pretty level headed, and would have done anything for the people they love. I even liked Kit’s sister, who was a mess. Her dad was a lot of fun with all of his meddling tendencies! The romance was fantastic! I loved the settings that Elizabeth O’Roark described in the book. The plot was just the right of mess without it going into telenovela mode. My Favorite Bad Decision is my new favorite book from Elizabeth!

What a fun adventure!

Kit and Miller’s story is filled with all the heartwarming moments mixed with the best banter!

⛰️Billionaire romance
⛰️Sister’s ex boyfriend
⛰️Forced proximity
⛰️Age gap
⛰️Only one tent

When Kit decides to go out of her comfort zone FOR REAL, and climb Kilimanjaro, she doesn’t expect to see her sister’s ex, aka her sworn enemy.

Miller does his best to get in Kit’s good graces and after a mishap with his tent, they are forced to spend extra time together. And throughout their hike, their attraction gets stronger and that turns into something even more real.

But how will they make it work when they get home? Will their feelings stay at Kilimanjaro, or will they get a real life HEA?

I loved these two! You can tell from the very beginning that they were going to be explosive together and they were in the best way. I loved all of the banter and hilarious moments throughout for these two!

Rose Dioro and Grayson Owens were the best pairing for this duet style narration. Rose’s sweet mixer with sassy was the perfect Kit and Grayson’s charm embodied all that is Miller.

In love with Miller !

From the very beginning, you can tell that he is absolutely in love with her. The way that he always tries to protect her. I am absolutely obsessed with both of them. I'm so glad he helped her get a backbone with her family.
I'm so thankful for her dad he had known her heart had been lost and he knew how to bring it back to her.
The story did not go the way that I thought it would as to why her heart was broken and I feel so sad for her.

Great Duet Audiobook

Thank you to Elizabeth O’Roark and Valentine PR for providing me an early copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own.

This was a really fun, action-adventure-ish romance, with a little forbiddenness and enemies to loversness to it.

Miller dated Kit’s older sister for a summer when Kit was 17. After he broke up with said sister…via text…he became enemy number 1, but oh no, 10 years later and he’s booked on the same climbing expedition as her. 😩👀

I really enjoyed the climbing aspect in this one; it added a bit of an action-adventure vibe to the beginning, while also giving all the forced proximity goodness.

I loved Miller and the care he gave to Kit throughout the book. It was always so sweet and thoughtful, especially for a character like Kit who’s always taking care of others.

I am already so intrigued by some of the side characters, especially Kit’s sister, Maren, and I *think* this is just the start of a series? So hoping we get a bit more with her! 🤞

Audiobook notes: Duet Narration! Both narrators were great! Definitely recommend the audio!

What this book is giving:
✅ Billionaire Romance
✅ Duet Narration
✅ Sister’s Ex
✅ She hates him
✅ Forced Proximity
✅ One Tent
✅ Summiting Mount Kilimanjaro

Great Story

This story has it all!! Great main characters, banter, tension, side characters interesting and add to the story. My one little criticism is the resolving of the main issue in the story between the sisters. For this being the main bone of contention between the two, it seemed like it was pretty easily resolved. However there is no other author I would rather read… so in my book it’s still a 10!!!

absolutely fabulous story

oh I don't know what to say about this story it was absolutely fabulous it. the main character goes through such a journey and it's really quite incredible I mean she starts off when you first meet her that she's kind of snobbish and and not you know very friendly and as the time goes you learn more about her and you start to love her you definitely of course love the male character pretty much instantly he's extremely Charming. I love this journey for the female character I loved her Cockiness I loved her when she realizes everything it really brought it all together the narrator's did a phenomenal job keeping you so engrossed in the story they really brought it to life and I would absolutely recommend this story to anyone in fact I plan on re listening to this because it was that good.
