The Edge of Forever

The Edge Series 2

De: J. Saman

Narrado por: Erik Bloomquist, Madeleine Dauer

Weston Kincaid was my first...everything.

My brother's best friend should have come with a warning label. The man was a cautionary tale and we were the ill-fated cliche. The star quarterback to my loner art geek. But I didn't listen. Not to the warnings. Not to my instincts. I fell, and I fell hard.

Then he left and I was forced to pick up the pieces of my broken heart.

A decade and a lifetime later, he's back. Only instead of being the star jock, he's now a surgeon. A sexy, irresistible surgeon who happens to save my friend's life. As if all that isn't bad enough, he has it in his determined, arrogant head that we should pick up where we left off. But this time, it'll take more than devouring looks and the rush of his touch to temp me back into his bed. And my heart? Not an option.

He's about to figure out, I'm not the same girl he left behind.

Why did I wait?

Why did I wait so long to delve into this author? This is my second book and I’m hooked. Such a sweet story. So much more than the description. And I also have a new favorite male narrator! His voicing of the character made me obsessed!

The Edge of Forever by J. Saman was pining, regret, and unrequited first love given a second chance.

Wesley Kincaid was Aria's older brother's best friend. She had a crush on him from the beginning. Growing up, they had an undeniable connection, albeit secret. Wes went away for college, troubled by family issues that he kept hidden. He wanted to better himself to be the man Aria deserved when he came back for her. Without knowing that, Aria left the country to live her life. Ten years later, tragedy brings them back together when Wes ends up being her best friend's surgeon. Wes refuses to let her get away again.

The Edge of Forever flashes back and forth from their past to the present day, giving the reader insights into who they've become and how they got there. Wes and Aria's lovestory was cute, though Wes did not have to work hard to get his second chance. The other focus of the book was the attack of Aria's best friend, Josh, and his hospitalization. Be aware of trigger warnings.

I almost had to DNF the audiobook. Erik Bloomquist's narration came across as very robotic at times. It didn't matter if I sped it up or slowed it down. But, I really enjoyed Madeleine Dauer's narration, so I powered through and found it was worth it.

Terrible narrator!

If you can get past the male narrator the story is good. He has to be the worst I've ever listened to. He sounds bored. I've heard the female before. While she sounds more like she's reading a news article, she's tolerable enough.

Different male narrator needed

The male narrator sounds like a robot. Absolutely no emotion. So monotone. Hard to stick with it because of that. Female narrator was okay. Story was good.

Raw Heartfelt Emotional Read

Eric brought Wes to life with such raw heartfelt emotion! I really enjoyed this one!

Never disappoints

Great story and slow build of story. Happy ever after kind of story. Make narrator’s voice is not my favorite as he is talking thru his nose type of speaking. Other than that, I like the story.

Great story, not so great narration.

The story was good, which is why I listened to the whole thing. However steamy erotic scenes should not be listened to in a robot staccato voice. And the male voice was like listening to old cd players right before the battery died. I cringed so much. This could have been so much more enjoyable with the right narrators.

Bouncing between past and present

Almost DNF. The male narrator is not up to dual narration, his characters sound comical.
My least favorite J. Saman work. They bounce between 12 years ago and today every other chapter.i got so bored with the past I started skipping those chapters.
FMC has two people after her that she seems to like equally. She lets both of them kiss her and manhandle her. No back bone. Friend at the edge of death in the center of the story doesn’t get much of an ending other than he lives.
They don’t do much, just constant days in the hospital. Flat characters. No compelling reason why they were separated. Meh

Love it but

I love this story and I will say that the male narrator grew on me but his pacing was slow and I really had to bear with it. He did have moments that I thought were great but the pace in the beginning (and kind of throughout) was a struggle for me. Amazing story.
