Sips About to Go Down

Stryker Family Series, Book 1

De: Audrey Vaughn

Narrado por: Ryan Lee Dunlap, J.Y. Kora

The only thing worse than being roommates with my rival? Falling for him.

Returning to my small hometown after I crashed and burned in the city is bad enough. Having my lifelong rival, Wes Stryker, rub it in my face doesn't make it easier.

Even worse, I'm hired to help him pull his family's distillery out of a rough patch. Oh, and I'm forced to be his roommate. That means dealing with his annoying flirting and one-upping all day, every day.

He's unbearably cocky, and his dimpled smile charms everyone with a pulse—except for me.

At least until he starts to make me ugly laugh, and I see glimpses of his big heart under the side he shows everyone else. Resisting him when he wanders around the house in nothing but sweatpants, undressing me with his eyes? Not possible.

But I've sworn off charmers like him, and the last man I let into my heart destroyed my confidence and my career. I won't make that mistake again.

it went down!

I loved the storyline, romantic and heartwarming. I am excited to see what happens next between these lovers.

Striker Me Some More Please

Storyline was deliciously different. The narrators might be my new faves (Top 5 for sure). Liked the spice scenes but could have been just a ted bit juicier. definitely recommend.

Great beginning to a new series

I enjoyed this audiobook. The male narrator was very good. The female is as well but I’ve purchased several books read by J Y Kora.

Loved from Chapter 2!

This was so delightful that I smiled the whole time listening to it. The story is warm, fun and sexy as hell! The author has such a handle on what makes a romcom so mouthwatering. The writing is great, the spice is perfect and the voice actors were fantastic! The pets in the story also felt like characters. I would totally read a prequel about Wes’ grandma and I’m definitely listening to book two! Will look for more by this author. Great listen.

This was everything!!

Audrey Vaughn’s Sips About to Go Down is a fun, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance with a fresh twist set against the backdrop of a family distillery. Rose, fresh from heartbreak, finds herself living with her longtime rival, Wes Stryker, and sparks quickly fly.

The novel shines with witty banter, strong chemistry, and a unique mixology theme. Wes’s openness and vulnerability make him a standout hero, and the representation of a Black female lead adds refreshing depth. While Rose sometimes feels less emotionally invested and Wes’s backstory could have been fleshed out more, the small town charm and cozy slow-burn tension keep the story engaging.

Overall, it’s a lighthearted, inclusive, and entertaining rom-com perfect for readers who enjoy witty rivals turned lovers and small-town vibes.

Black Woman White Man Romance with a sexy slow burn Enemies to Lovers

Love, great plot, well developed storyline.
I’m excited for the rest of your series!! I pre-ordered Book 2, so keep it up❣️

Aside from the “good girl” call outs I liked it

I will never enjoy hearing “good girl” during a steamy scene, it’s gross. But other than that I really enjoyed the book! Great story, likable characters. I did get the characters confused sometimes all the male friends with “J” names. But other than that I really enjoyed the creative storyline

Good Story

I really liked both the FMC and the MMC. Both grew a lot throughout the story. The banter and the slow burn was great!

Can’t wait for the next the series.

loved it!

cute story with nice spice, nothing too over the top and one of the most bareable third act break ups.

I think I would have preferred in duet.

A good story

I read all the books in this series and enjoyed them all.This was the first one I read and it made me laugh and I thought is was a sweet love story..the audio brought it to life and the narrators were great.
