Until I Fall

De: Claudia Burgoa

Narrado por: Zachary Webber, Isabel Del Castillo

I gave my heart to a Navy SEAL.

He took it with him to his grave.

Eleven years later, ignoring the yawning void is as automatic as breathing. Working brutal hours, dating a comfortably commitment-phobic guy, hanging with my best friends. Anything until exhaustion - or an extra glass of wine - claims my consciousness.

And then my comfort zone is invaded by Anderson Hawkins' piercing green eyes.

He says he’s a tattoo artist, but his mastery of the short answer, weird schedule, and military ink tell a different story.

His touch ignites a long-dead flame inside me.

But can I touch it without being completely scorched from the inside out?

I'm at the edge of a cliff. I just don't know if he'll catch me until I fall.

Note: This contemporary romance contains a former military hero accustomed to treading dangerous ground and a wary, overworked doctor who’s a military widow in every way but name, brought together by a few unexpected twists and turns - and maybe the machinations of a cute dog.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Sweet Second Chance

Castillo and Weber narration never disappoints and brings high definition for another masterpiece romance craft by Claudia Burgoa. Overcome lost and grieving, forgetting whom we are along the way, may not be the only option because life might have other plans. Forgiveness and new beginnings are part of the plan. I enjoyed all the characters. The sisterhood and brotherhood. The various beautiful shades of love! One of my favorite newest book!♥️🌈♥️

An emotionally heavy read with lots of loss and grieving. I so badly wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. I did smile, laugh and even had tears in my eyes at points but there was a lot I struggled with.

The book seemed to move extremely slowly and seemed like it could have been cut down a lot. The connection between Anderson and Aspen seemed forced, Aspen had too much of a “woe is me” mantra, and some of the side characters were just too much. With everything happening in the story I felt the romance was an afterthought.

Zachary Webber was great as always. Isabel Del Castillo is a new to me narrator and I enjoyed listening to her narrate.

Until I Fall contains... military, neighbors-to-lovers, hurt/comfort, dual first-person point of view.

Wonderful Story & Listen🎧 Gripping & Emotional!

This is such a wonderful story, it not only grabbed and captivated my attention the entire time, but it tugged on my heartstrings too. I adored the lead characters, the secondary and support characters are amazing too. Aspen and Michael were engaged and would marry after he served his country and she would finish school. But died before they were married and it was something she never got over and could not move on. She finished med school and dedicated her life to saving others. She and her roommate befriended her neighbor and when she became ill, she wanted to help her get thru it, she had not met her son, Anderson aka Hawk, and when she does, she is not sure what to think or maybe he just makes her think, opens her heart that has been closed off too. Despite her dating someone she never gave him her heart, she felt it would betray the lover how her life, Michael. She never gave thought to the possibility of having two loves in a lifetime, but then again, she just focused on work and her friends. Her relationship with her Mom was not the best, and it was easier for her to not deal with that or to even take care of the estate of her late father, which she kept putting off. Hawk left the service, but joined another type of organization that deals with special operative types of missions. He came home to spend time with his sick Mom and wanted to be there for her as much as he could, but he still had some missions to complete. He was totally smitten with Aspen, though she was a tough cookie, one worth working for, which he did, and it was an uphill battle with her. Hawk was great, and the more I got to know him, the more I fell for him. The complexity of the characters and world building is fantastic, as are all the layers of the story. I loved how everything played out in this wonderfully written and cleverly plotted story, it has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt and emotional moments, some action and thrilling suspense, and a fabulous romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Zachary Webber and Isabel Del Castillo were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, and they did so with the complete understanding of who these characters were, giving each a voice that fit them to a tee. Del Castillo’s Aspen was spot on, she grasped every side of her personality, from her vulnerable side to her strong side. Webber played Hawk as he was, an alpha bad arse who was not afraid to show his softer and caring side. Bother were great performing the roles as the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to.

Learning to live and love again

This is an amazingly heartwarming story about learning how to live and love again. Aspen lost her first love before they were able to get married as they had planned. She walled off her heart and threw herself into her work. She practically worked herself to death to avoid the pain of his loss. Until she meets Anderson. Meeting him, as well as a push from her friends encourages Aspen to live again.

The narrators that brought these characters to life did such an amazing job. The way they were able to evoke the emotion of the scenes made this story even better.

Emotional

This may be an older book by Ms. Burgoa, but it is new to me. Narrators Zachary Webber and Isabel Del Castillo brought Anderson and Aspen to life. After eleven years Aspen still refuses to open her heart because of the death of her fiance, Michael. She has a complicated relationship with her mom. At least her best friends have her back. Falling for the neighbour's son is scary for her.
