#1 Crush

By: T Gephart

Narrated by: Grace Grant

Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's Summary

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest.

Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame. One smile from him was enough to twist her insides, making her girlie bits tingle in the most delicious way. But it wasn't just his looks; he was smart and funny - charming in the most a-dork-able way.

The only problem was...

Tia had never actually met him.

Eric Larsson was one of Hollywood's hottest movie stars, rising to the top of his game and leaving a trail of disintegrated panties in his wake. Tia's were no exception - but she wasn't delusional. Love, marriage, and happily ever after were not part of her fantasy; she just wanted to meet him. Just one time. One time. Confident that just seeing him in the flesh would get him out of her system.

So, with her resolve steeled, Tia set off on a quest to make it happen while avoiding her mug shot being splayed across the five o'clock news.

The journey no doubt will make for one hell of a story.

Cute laugh out loud story

I loved this book! I was looking for something light after finishing a dark book and this did not disappoint. This book literally had me laughing out loud. I really enjoyed the character of Tia and found her relatable (probably because I'm a bit crazy myself). Tia's journey to meet her number one crush kept me engaged the entire time. I also grew to really like some of the supporting characters (I'd love a spin off). The performance was great and Grace Grant did a fabulous job bringing Tia to life. I hope more books from this author make their way to audio.

This book is crazy!

After about 45 minutes I was ready to turn it off because the woman was going on and on like a school girl about a celebrity. She sounded completely crazy. But what kept me listening was how funny the story was. That character said some pretty hilarious things. This book is basically a fantasy I bet a lot of people have and I’m glad I listened all the way through. You’ll definitely have some laughs!

Lies

DNF There were just too many unnecessary lies told right from the start. It got tiresome a third of the way through so I gave up

Only if you want a good laugh

I love this one. I laughed out loud more then I have in a long time. Got this one with the Romance package. Thinking about buying it so I can replay over and over.

Dead Set Laugh Out Loud Book

My first T Gephart book ever and I really enjoyed it very much, I honestly did laugh out loud on several occasions.
Grace Grant did a great job with Tia and all the other characters, my only issue was that she did make Eric sound a little dopey(speaking very slowly, word for word) on several occasions. When in fact he was funny and sexy as sin, either way I really enjoyed this very much and I look forward to more books by this author.

GET IT NOW

By far, one of the funniest, cutest, sexiest and most imaginative books I've listened to or read this year!!! This isn't a simple love story. There's intrigue, hilarious dialog, fantastic characters and a plot line that gets interesting right from the start with twists and a few turns. The flow of the story was smooth. There was not one dull moment. I can't wait to dig into more books by this author. Lovely!!!

This book never gets old!

This was at least the 3rd time this year I have listened to this book. I can tell you not to listen to this book in a public place because you will laugh out loud and I mean LOUD.

In a New York minute

#1 crush is a fun, witty, east to read rom-com.

Capturing the heart of New York while living in LA. She did it her way...

Eric is an actor whose just a simple easy going guy. Tia is a nobody from Brooklyn with a crush on Eric. Play it cool Tia wanted to meet her #1 crush so she flew to LA where the famous Eric worked.
Her adventure didn’t end with just a quick handshake. That’s not Tia’s style. This sassy, smart, quick witted New Yorker gave Eric a run for his money.

Overall:
This is my first T. Gephart book/audiobook. I’m enjoying her sense of humor and writing style. Rarely do I find a rom-com that I like. I’m a hard critic when it comes to reading a rom/com because most authors/writers just don’t have the talent to pull off comedic dialogue.
The inner commentary from Tia’s head was LOL. The laughter never ended. It was continuous stream of witty dialogue and scenes.

The writing was superb which allowed for a top notch performance. When an author/writer can team up with a good narrator it’s genius.

Narrator:
Grace Grant narrated #1 Crush in its entirety. She’s a first for me in the audiobook world, but she scored high marks from me. A perfect performance meeting all my criteria of perfect tone, sound, and pitch.
The audiobook was high quality with no outside disturbances. The scenes were read word perfectly. I know this because I followed along with my ebook while listening to the audiobook.
The solo narration performance exceeded my expectations. I’m sad for it to be over. In fact, I’m going to look into Grace Grant’s work and find another audiobook narrated by her. I’m even going to look into T. Gephard as well. Her writing skills impressed me.

Wow!!!

I am only partway through the book but I had to stop and write a review! This book is one of the best I’ve listened to/read in a while. A true rom com! I wish Tia was real because I would love to have her as a friend!!! Eric is great too in respect to Tia as the celebrity hero but she shone all on her own. I’m going to read all of T Gephart’s books now. Grace Grant owner the characters in her narration. Just great all around!!!

GREAT FUN ROM-COM

OK I'll say it, Tia Monroe is Bonkers, absolutely out of her tree.




Who flies from New York to L.A, fakes an invite, sneaks her way into a premier to meet her crush just to prove he's not all she built him up to be, to prove he's just not all that and hopefully be rid of her obsession? Tia Monroe of course. And did it work?..... Nah



Tia meets her movie star crush Eric Larsson and her plan backfires when he asks her out and from here on out Tia's adventure begins.

“Wow, it’s almost midnight.”
“Do you turn into a pumpkin at midnight?” His lips twisted in amusement, a waft of his cologne assaulting my nose.

Do not sniff him, I reminded myself. That would be bad.

I listened to this In audio and for once had to slow it down, I could tell with the narrator that Tia was the type of person who talked a mile a minute, it suited her character, putting foot to mouth that sort of thing but sometimes I couldn't tell if it was Tia talking to herself or to someone else, she talked to herself a lot working out her thoughts, like I said Bonkers.



Crush is refreshing, funny, hot, with swoon-worthy moments and I loved it!

If your looking for a rom-com that hits all the right spots then this is it. I am looking forward to reading Eric's friend Ryan's story next.
