All Too Well

De: Corinne Michaels

Narrado por: Vanessa Edwin, Connor Crais

For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again. I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview. Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet, somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it. But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes. He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me. We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.

Fun & Sweet

This was a great start to a new series! I adore Ainsley and Lachlan. They are a couple you root for. He’s the brother’s BF and they known each other for years while secretly pining. He’s the fire chief and a single dad. She’s a journalist who comes back to write a story on him. It’s a fun story with a great romantic plot. They both have issues when it comes to their fathers, and learning to grow and forgive things from their pasts. It was such a sweet read!

Wonderful New Series

I really like Lachlan, Ainsley and, Rose together. Lachlan and Ainsley have each secretly loved each other even when they were growing up next door to each other or when they were separated for four years because of a misunderstanding. I like everyone in the book and can't wait for the next book. Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin really brought the story to life.

So touching....

Ainsley and Lachlan have known each other since they were kids and Ainsley has loved him ever since. But one day, four years ago, in a very emotional moment for Lachlan, they shared a kiss and he made it clear to her that it was a mistake. Ainsley then goes to NYC to pursue her dreams of being a reporter and it's this dream that will also bring her aback to Ember Falls, where single dad Lachlan is now fire chief and a hero. He's made national news with a rescue and Ainsley is sent to cover the story.
If there is anyone who Lachlan would agree to talk to, it's Ainsley. While she thinks he's rejected her for lack of interest, it's quite the opposite: he thinks he's not good enough for her and will never be able to be there for her emotionally.
Several talks later and with staying at his place after her accommodations prove to be a fire hazard, Ainsley is making herself an integral part of the Wests's lives. Will Lachlan allow himself to forget the past hurts and let himself love and be loved?
I love Corinne Michaels and I'm already in love with Ember Falls and its ultimate frisbee team, the waterfalls, Rose, everything!
Narrated dual style by two favorite: Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais. Vanessa has a vibrant voice that's also soft and she portrays the peppy, sunshiny Ainsley perfectly. Connor can do tortured and grumpy like no other and he makes Lachlan absolutely irresistible. 
I loved this small town romance with the reporter from the big city, the firefighter from the small town, the cute little girl who steals our hearts and there magic waterfalls. 
I can always depend on Corinne to deliver!

Relationship between the father and sons

Corinne did not disappoint! I love these characters and their struggles I can't wait for Ember Falls next book I love bringing Carson into the story.

Excellent narration

Corinne Michaels is an exceptional storyteller and narrator was enjoyable. Ainsley and Lach’s story is a joy to listen to in All to Well. It also begins the Ember Falls series. This five star listen is highly recommended!
