Shine Not Burn

De: Elle Casey

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

Andie Marks, known as "Party Girl" in her college days, is now a whip-smart lawyer on the fast track to success. Determined to move on from a bad break-up, she joins her girlfriends for a wild bachelorette weekend in Las Vegas, promising to let her hair down just this once.

Vegas is a blur of cocktails and blackjack, and in the middle of it all she meets Mack, a real-life cowboy with a winning hand and an irresistible body. They get lucky in the casino and luckier back at the hotel, a hot night of passion that was definitely not part of Andie's life plan.

By dawn Mack is gone and all she has to remember their one-night romance is a hangover and a pile of casino chips. Or so she thinks....

We should all shine not burn

What a great story and wonderfull characters. Mac and Andy are so opposite but yet they fit perfectly what happenes I vegans doesn't always stay there great plot. Funny. Sexy and a great listen

Good book.

It was funny, sexy,especially the hot cowboy. The story was good,but Andi was a little too wishy washy, which really got on my nerves. But overall it was a great story. Too slow in some parts and ended way too quickly. But what can I say, I love those sexy dirty talking cowboys.

Awkward awesomeness

This book had extreme awkwardness and was so embarrassing!!! but I loved every minute of it. The narrator was not for me.

Great read

This was a predictable but very enjoyable story, told by a bright and engaging (and new-to-me) author. The narrator was expressive, and showcased the quality writing in an energetic way. Was definitely worth the read!

Pleasantly surprised!

This book made me laugh out loud several times. The performance was amazing and the story really came through. The chemistry between Mac and Andy was perfect. Would listen to another book by this author and this performer in a heartbeat. Left me with a great feeling! I love happy endings. Lauren Ezzo is simply fantastic.

Hero is a cowboy!

Loved the hero Mack, what a straight shooter, hot cowboy and just good guy. This is a what happens in Vegas well, doesn't stay in Vegas story and I really enjoyed it.
Andie is successful lawyer with a plan for success that she is sticking to even though it is sucking all the happiness from her life. She meets Mack in Vegas and they connect immediately. He is crazy about her but they lose each other the next day and the story then jumps forward two years.
Book has humor and small town with the gossip and all the odd side characters.

Loved it!

I absolutely enjoyed this story. The performance kept my attention through the entire reading from beginning to end, non-stop. I found myself misty eyed and laughing out loud several times. I appreciate a story that can grab my emotions and keep me hanging on to the end.

funniest card scene ever

this is a sweet story with giid humor... enjoyed the main characters only complaint is too much story for the length of the book

Mixed Feelings

I borrowed the audio book on Kindle Unlimited. The narrator was great! I have no complaints and will definitely listen to more books done by Lauren Ezzo.

I really wanted to love this book and I did like it...I just couldn't love it. The only thing holding me back was the heroine. She had an abusive stepfather and she fought really hard to take back her life and create a life plan so she would never go back to that. Except every guy she choose as the perfect man were taking her right back. It made NO sense and quite frankly made her look very stupid. I get the pushing away if you were treated bad, but to actually go after men who treated her badly? It just didn't fit.

As big as that issue is with me, I really did love everything else about the book. The hero was awesome. His family was awesome. I actually will check out book two because it is about the hero's brother. Fingers crossed book two will be a winner.

Okay

I listened to the audio version and as a native Oregonian, I can confirm that we don't have southern accents. Even out in bum f*** Baker City. Other than that the story was fairly entertaining despite the few plot holes and a sometimes obnoxious main character.
