Taylor's Father

De: Penelope Ward

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Jason Clarke

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new, standalone contemporary romance with duet narration....

When my best friend Taylor gifted me a vacation at a resort owned by his grandparents, the last thing I expected was to bond with a man seventeen years older.

Tate was also vacationing alone.

He’d come to Midnight Key to clear his head and reevaluate his life.

I’d come to get over my high school sweetheart who’d dumped me.

I’d spotted the brawny, tattooed Adonis in the lobby on the first day and thought he had to be someone’s hot dad.

But then we matched on an app that paired single men and women by proximity. The problem was? At 19—almost 20—I’d lied and said I was 29.

Tate outed me on our first date, and I fessed up to my real age.

But we continued to run into each other.

And eventually we found our connection was too magnetic to deny. While we agreed to only use first names and to part ways at the end of the trip, I’d really fallen for Tate.

I never forgot him and knew he was the one who got away.

Remember that guy friend who gifted me the trip?

Well, four years later, Taylor got married. He’d been estranged from his dad for years, though recently they’d reconnected.

What I didn’t know was that the man I’d had that torrid affair with at the resort would be standing next to Taylor in the receiving line.

My dream man Tate? Was Taylor’s father.

Doris Dolores!

Such a cute, heartfelt story with some laugh out loud moments. Narration was excellent! Would definitely recommend! This age gap trope was done perfectly!

Loved the duet style

This was really good. I found the story intriguing and kept me captivated. It held my attention from the beginning and didn’t let go. I loved the banter between the two characters.

Keeps you engaged the whole way through.

Sometimes with romance it can become very typical but this book keeps the reader interested the whole way through. The characters for heart for each other and it definitely keeps you invested, but I did find that I couldn’t understand why they fell so hard for each other like they didn’t have anything in common. So what was it? You do feel their love for each other. Just don’t understand why.
The spice was 🌶️🌶️🌶️ though they were relatively short scenes and not overly descriptive. Also, he seemed to come quickly and for whatever reason they would only come at the same time. I don’t know it was just kind of strange and didn’t pack any heat.
The twist I definitely didn’t see coming absolutely loved it . If you’re looking for a light romance with a ton of heart, this is the one for you.

Love the twists in the story and the use of actors for narration

I really appreciate the use of actual narrators and the statement that t h ey can't be used to train AI. I refuse to purchase or listen to any book that uses virtual narration or AI narration.

Priceless!

Andi and Jason were great and this story was a perfect mix of joy and sadness, surprises and expected storyline. The love story development kept me entertained and anxious for the next chapter. Ms Ward weaves a wonderful story, and the ending to “Taylor’s Father” was priceless.
