Always Earned, Never Given

The Kings of Kroydon Hills, Book 3

De: Bella Matthews

Narrado por: Bradley Ford, Kathryn Lynhurst

Learning how to fly stole my childhood, and accomplishing my dreams took my parents.

After my parents' death, taking care of my little brother and running my dance studio are the only things I've got time for in my hectic life. Until Declan Sinclair. As the number one draft pick for the Philadelphia Kings, he's not afraid of putting in a little hard work to get what he wants. And he wants me. I don't know if my heart can survive falling in love.

All the best games are won in inches, not yards, and I'm gonna earn this win inch by inch.

I've spent my life working toward one goal. Playing professional football. Until Annabelle Hart. She's fierce, loyal, and the strongest woman I've ever met. I knew she was meant to be mine the first time I saw her. But knowing that and making it happen are two very different things.

Will this beautiful ballerina let me earn her love?

One inch at a time

Another great entry in the Kings of Kroydon series. Annabelle loses her parents right before dancing the lead in Giselle and comes home to take care of her autistic brother. She doesn't think she has time for a relationship with the King's new quarterback, but they have an instant connection and chemistry. Declan slowly breaks her walls down.

There's a bit of suspense, but it's the "he's all in/he falls first" elements that make the story shine.

Great dual narration that draws you into this book.

Steamy with a dash of mystery

This story was good. Characters are interesting. I laughed. I teared up. I went through all of the emotions. I am excited to read the next book in this family of stories!

Declan and Belle

I loved this book! I adore all the characters that Bella writes and the world she creates is one of my favorites!!

This audio is an easy listen.. You will enjoy it and the story will hook you!

Declan and Belle have such a wonderful story and I loved it so much.

Loved it

I loved this book when it came out and I read it. I loved listening to it. The narrators were great and I love how they brought Annabel and Declan to life. It had been a while since I had revisited this book. I loved Tommy and this is the book Sam and Amelia meet. Highly recommended this audio.

Declan & Annabelle

What a fantastic audio!! Loved hearing Declan & Annabelle’s story come to life. Bella is a definite favorite author and her choice of narrators always do a fantastic job!! Declan is the star rookie QB for the Philadelphia Kings after being drafted by his dad who is also the coach. Annabelle is just trying to survive day to day life with running her dance studio and rising her younger autistic brother after the death of her parents a few years earlier. This is a he falls first, football, ballerina, found family story.

Great love story

I really loved this series!!
I want to read coopers story, but I can find it

Enjoyable

I thought this was a great listen. I liked the story and narrators. Looking forward to the next one. Great series.

Another Bella book

Love this story Bella & Declan. Well put together from beginning to end. Would definitely recommend this book.

sweet easy read

My favorite thing about reading a new book is when it makes me bust out laughing and boy does Tommy bust out with some GREAT one liners! Overall a quick sweet read!

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

I think this might be my favorite from the series. Surprise pregnancy isn't a favorite trope but it added a little something to it.
