Sebastian York is my all-time favorite storyteller.

This story was different and light/hearted. Enjoyable, easy listening, especially with Sebastian as narrator.

♥️ WHAT A GREAT LISTEN ♥️

This is my first Tawna Fenske book but it won’t be my last.. in fact I’ve already downloaded Book 2 because I’m totally invested in these loveable six siblings who have bought a disbanded cult’s compound to fix up and film a community based reality show there and, after this five star listen, I can’t wait.

Right from their interview, there’s attraction and sizzling chemistry between CFO Dean and his prospective CFO Vanessa and, the more they interact, the more they draw closer and connect. However, these two ‘relationship jaded’ characters think they can resist their intense pull (err that’s a no but nice try guys). Then the delusional couple think that after their ‘once’ they’d be done (huh, we’ll I could’ve told them how that would work.. not). And then they ??.. well, you’ll just have to get this enjoyable and very entertaining listen for yourselves and I guarantee you’ll be in for a treat.. especially the dual POV narration by Sebastian and Emma who were excellent as always and gave it their awesome all. As well as the growing romance and sweet interactions, family dynamics and humor, there’s suspicion and mystery as to who and why someone is slowly trying to jeopardize everything.

Worth a credit? Definitely.. and now Jason’s calling me for Book 2 🤭😘🤫😉🥰.

Finally an author that knows how to craft dramatic action.

It’s a good thing. Today is Sunday because I had to listen to this book nonstop all day until it was done. It was that good. It should have all five stars from everyone because it’s way superior to other books that have a higher rating.

The author knows how to take ordinary characters and make them extraordinary. They’re clever, funny, attractive, and interesting. Not like those romantic boring characters that are the smartest wealthiest most powerful yada yada yada. Well crafted character should be multifaceted with faults and weaknesses which these have, and which makes them all the more appealing.

Dramatic action consists of a series of events that increase in intensity until the climax occurs and the conflict is resolved. Finally a romance writer who knows how to do this! She introduces the two main conflicts early and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end, but still gives you hints in case you’re the type who likes to guess for yourself. She’s not like most of the romance writers I’ve read lately who wait until the book is three -fourths done to introduce the major conflict or make the bad guy someone you didn’t even meet until the end of the book. I hate that.

The ending was sweet, but not so saccharin sweet that you felt like you just t ate a whole chocolate cake you are about to throw up. It was just perfect and the romance scenes were touching and arousing but they didn’t go overboard. Sometimes I think romance writers go on and on about bodily fluids just because they can’t come up with any better plot. But not this one. I cannot wait to continue to read the rest of the series. 

Wonderful writing

Narrators were amazing and I could listen to Sebastian York non stop everyday all day long.

Loved the story but LOVED Sebastian York reading it MORE!

The reason I listened to this book is that it was read by Sebastian York! I googled his name and the series came up. I'm hoping he reads some of the next four books in this series.!
