A Reason to Stay

Blackwood Series, Book 1

De: Melissa Ellen

Narrado por: Madeleine Dauer, Tim Paige

Who needs a man? They're nothing but a distraction. A disappointment.

They sweep you off your feet, promise you forever. Then, as soon as another beautiful woman shows them interest, they leave you crying alone on the sidewalk with your dreams of a life together crushed.

And the sexy playboy who keeps showing up everywhere I go is the definition of distraction and inevitable disappointment. I can live without that heartbreak. I have everything I need to make me happy - a job, school, friends, and family that I love.

Yep. Mind made up. It's just a shame my heart didn't get the memo.

Contains mature themes.

My fav

I love all of the series by Melissa Ellen. Thank you for writing these for us!

I loved the story line and character, loved the book

The trend I don’t like and I am not alone!!!!!! Stop using other narrators for different characters, it’s confusing! Just use one or two and stop having one character performing one and the male character reads the others. Stop! It doesn’t work

It’s just ok

Kinda old school when the dominating alpha, but was able to keep that in context overall. The narration was bland and it’s only the female narrating. Seemed like there was a lot extra to the story, especially in the beginning, that wasn’t really needed to make the book. Going to listen to part two because I need to know what happens now ha

i love ittttt 💚

rhet should of made better decisions honestly, he was in the wrong and the reason for why it ended that way. i love how strong willed Eva is !! i bought the physical book too!!!

OBSESSIVE JACKSON

I am so loving this read so far. What a cliff hanger! Ava is so me! She is such a good character! They are opposites! He is rich and powerful... she is just a normal waitress. He is so obsessive over her. He has a crazy X and her best friend is a guy that I think has a hidden love for her. He has a crazy shared story with his x that just won't let him let her go. Ava had enough and broke it off with him and is leaving to California. The story is getting good... I can't wait to start book 2.

Over all … meh ….

Not enough of the background characters story mingling with the main characters. The main man comes off as a jerk and we are supposed to “ want” him to win her over at the end …
And the way it was left was beyond anything I imaged it would be, and not in a good way.
Wasted my time, should have canned the book sooner.

I’m glad it was free

This book has the potential to be good but the execution of the story is lacking. The leading lady is boring she has no passion. The conflicts are very anti climatic and the main male has no personality. The whole book was very drawn out

Female protagonist was immature and insecure

The story itself was okay, but the female protagonist’s immaturity and insecurity started to bother me in the (this) first book. Shortly into the second, I almost stopped listening. I listened to both for story closure. I don’t enjoy books where I somewhat dislike one of the lead characters, and sadly I liked her less and less as each book went on.

Not dual POV

I didn’t like one POV so this one was false advertisement. Yes Tim Page did read but ONLY the epilogue. Hence false advertisement. This title was part of my membership. Thank goodness for that

Nothing to much

This novel seems more of a high school story line. It was more of the women talking verse equal parts
