From rock star to pretend husband, his life is a mess. But he isn’t ready to give up on the woman he loves. Whoever said nice guys finish last, never met Beck Kramer.

Five years later, he’s left the music behind and found success working for his family’s construction business. Life is good. Until he meets the woman who makes him take and second look, and a third - beautiful and fiercely independent Sawyer Hale.

Sawyer moved to Eatonville to get away from her past. The last time she fell in love, her heart ended up as roadkill. She’s happy without a man. Then, Beck walked into her life. Sexy, sweet, and too tempting for her own good, he turned her stable world upside down.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 💙Rock & Roll Forever❣️

I loved everything about this book, from Mary J. Williams’ wonderful writing style to the interesting and captivating storylines and characters she created to Daniela Acitelli’s fabulous narration. This is the second book in her “Rock & Roll Forever” series, it can be enjoyed on its own but I recommend starting with the first book “Almost Paradise” it is an awesome book and IMO knowing the back story of Razor’s Edge is beneficial, it adds even more depth to this book’s story. “Almost Blue” is Beckett “Beck” Kramer & Sawyer Hale’s story, it takes place five years after the demise of Razors Edge. Beck, the band’s drummer, went back home and starting working for his family’s construction business and did great for himself and the business. There is a new nursery in town so he meets with the owner, Sawyer Hale, with a business proposal that would benefit them both. The two hit it off and there is chemistry between them but Sawyer is hesitant to get romantically involved. She comes with a lot of baggage, baggage that is filled with all sorts of crazy. I loved her strength and determination to not let any of it get to her or the better of her. She comes up with a solution, a fake marriage and she moves in to Beck’s home but they plan maintain a platonic relationship. But things do not always go as planned and they can only deny themselves so long. I loved these two together, they were perfect for each other and great together. I loved how everything plays out in this book, there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, a bit of angst, some twists & turns, thrilling & suspenseful moment, heartfelt ones and the start of a great romance. I also love the storyline that is tying the books in this series together, Joplin Ashford visiting each band member and telling them her Uncle’s dying wish, for the band to reunite and perform one more time. Her uncle Danny Graham was the band manager, Joplin was the scout who found the band. So far she has not not gotten a yes to that request but there are two more band members to go and I am looking forward not only to their response but to see where life has brought them. Mary J. Williams, thank you for another fantastic story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

Daniela Acitelli is a talented narrator and voice artist. She does an amazing job portraying the characters, bring them to life, humanizing them by capturing their emotions and projecting it into her performance. She gives each character their own voice and personality, making it easy to follow the story and distinguish who is who. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you another awesome listen🎧

Opinion
Daniela Acitelli yet again pulled off a great reading. It is a testament to her skills that I can listen to her all day long as I work. Yet again, I’ll be working on the next book tomorrow.
I loved this story more than the first. Beck is such a kind gentleman that you can’t help but fall in love with him. Sawyer too had a gentle kindness about her. The two characters carry on such an endearing relationship that I can’t help but be jealous of it.
Many thanks for the copy of the audiobook I received from Daniela Acitelli.
