Side by Side, Book 1

De: J.T. Knight

Narrado por: Jim Swanson, Raya Kane

Chris Wright has one shot at his dream.

After years of late nights and countless revisions, an agent finally takes notice of Chris’s novel—but with one catch: he has a tight deadline to deliver a major rewrite. With bills stacking up and no extra time to pick up more shifts, Chris feels like he's barely holding his life together.

Then, fate throws him a curveball in the form of Mia.

Mia, his former high school nemesis—the gorgeous, untouchable girl he spent years feuding with—has just moved in next door. Despite their rocky past, both of them are now facing similar struggles to make ends meet. In an unexpected twist, they find themselves relying on each other. As they grow closer, Chris realizes that publishing his novel isn’t the only thing he’s racing toward. He’s falling for the one girl he never thought he’d get close to.

Will chasing his dream cost him his heart—or lead him to everything he’s ever wanted?

the characters

I liked that the Mia character was able to finally forgive herself from her past.

loved it!!!

I really hope this is not a one off. Story was engaging and the pace was great. The voice actors were superb. I really hope there's another in this series.

A fun and low stakes romance

I really enjoyed this story. I love slice of life, and I love romance, and this story did it all damn near flawlessly. I will be picking up the next one.

Cozy, spicy and a whole lot of fun!

This books offers everything I’ve come to love about the men’s romance slice of life genre. The characters feel like friends you want to keep spending time with. Mia and Chris are a great couple with real chemistry and you feel like you’ve gotten to know them by the book’s end. The performances on the audiobook are excellent too. I will definitely be listening to this one on repeat!

Wow probably the best Slice of life

I can't wait for the rest of the series for audible. This did a perfect enemy's to lovers. The story was just so well done with the right amount of anticipation, spice, story, and conflict. Probably the best threesome ever . it had my wife sweating from the collar.

My only problem is the Mc doesn't like politics but the story goes into some.

Amazing!

I love this title so much the narration is so amazing and the plot is so good!

Not bad

Dialogue is a little clunky between the mia and the MC. It’s is also a little repetitive. 2 apology scenes seemed almost copy and pasted. Also the dialogue lacks realism. Especially from Mia. Could be the tone used by the female VA as her range seemed a bit limited. MC needs to nut up IMO as well. Overall not bad. Definitely interested on where this goes.

Can’t wait to read the next one!!

I wasn’t sure this would really be my genre, but I was recommended it by someone whose opinion I really trust and WOW! Yeah this one knocked it out the park and I’m stoked to read the next one and whatever else follows in this series! So many tiny moments and small lines that struck home for me… not sure who this author is but it felt like he knew my adolescent years in a way I haven’t been able to commonly relate to from most other books 10/10

Surprisingly great

This book really surprised me. It had amazing character development and a great story. It got a little repetitive sometimes, but overall, this was definitely 5 stars.

love it

Can't wait for the next one.I'd love to see what these two get up to next.
