It was a book that keeps listeners wondering what was going to happen next. It kept you in suspense in parts. I could not stop listening this audio book. This is a truly wonderfully woven tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to future books by Shawna James.

Romantic story

I don’t usually listen audiobooks from romance genre, but the cover and the description drew me in and I decidedly to get this book for my credit, and I must say this is one of the best purchase I ever did on audible. Shawna James seems to excel at using words to create a magic. The book never had any dull moments, the story flew as any top seller story should. I won’t spoil this awesome story for you by mentioning exerts or story. All I will say is that this is one of the best audiobook ever on audible.

A great listen!

This was such a wild, amazing ride and a great listen. My emotions are all over the place but I just have to let them lose in writing because I can’t contain my excitement over this book. This world is beyond unique and it was so good to be back. The romantic scenes were nicely written and I enjoyed this audio version of the book so much.

Entertaining!

Nicely focused without fluff so it was easy to race through the story entertaining without pause. The main characters Stephanie and Andrew were absolutely incredible together, liked the romance that blossomed between them.

Awesome listen!

Got this as a recommendation from a friend and now I am thankful to that friend for recommending this awesome listen, I liked the story but I would say that the voice of the narrator brings life to this book, she knows how to narrate a romantic story and she does that with perfection!

The story was better than I was expecting

This was a brilliant start to what I know will be a great series. There was so much happening in the story, so many great characters and twists and turns that had me thinking “just one more chapter...” until there was nothing left. The audio book flew smoothly which was awesome, the book is divided into several chapters which made the book easy to move around.

The story was better than I was expecting, Stephanie is cool for the female main character, and we wish to meet a character like Stephanie in the real life. Andrew is likable and dashing, teachers in Stephanie's school gush over Andrew because of his looks, and for Stephanie he is a perfect man. The perfect man that was hard to get in her mind, but with time things changes and both of them come together as the story progresses, but the past of Andrew came in the way of their relationship and disturbs them. The story is well written and is a must listen for any of the romance fiction fans.

I really enjoyed listening this audio book

I really enjoyed listening this audio book. It had a great storyline; the characters in the story reeled me in, and kept me interested. I found myself completely intrigued and transfixed by it all. I can't wait for more of these books from the author Shawna James.

Easy listen, the anticipation that makes a romantic novel, liked the build of excitement between the two characters.

Romantic story

I do like to listen romantic stories, so that was one of the reason for picking this audio book even though I was unfamiliar with Shawna James's work. This is story of Andrew and Stephanie and how the past life of Andrew disturbs their present and their relationship. The character of Stephanie was nicely written, she is a high school teacher who teaches English and is liked by the collogues and students alike. Stephanie is smart and does not miss any chance to give it back whatever is thrown at her. Her life changed when she met Andrew in the most romantic way ever, the sports teacher in her school.

The additional characters like Maya, Roberta and others were also nicely written and they had a good character depth, and the characters got some punchy lines and good dialogues which makes the book funny at times as well, which is cool for a romantic audio book.

This is such an amazing story!

This is such an amazing story!!! I finished it in a day..I’m excited for part two 😩😍😍😍

This was an unusual story for me, and I liked that. Two people who truly love each who go through the ups and downs of life together and crazy exes. I am definitely a fan of Shawna James now.
