Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a sexy new contemporary series.

Devin Carr likes his life. He likes his job, his family, the outlook for his future. Then he meets her. Erin. As soon as he sees her, drunk and wearing a sequined dress as her world crashes down around her and she fights to put on a brave face, he knows what he’s been missing. Her.

When Erin Taborn finds her high school sweetheart and husband banging the former head cheerleader of their graduating class at their high school reunion, she tells herself she’ll be fine. She just needs to figure out what fine means. There’s only one problem. Devin. She didn’t plan on him. And for someone who thinks they have all their plans in place, that’s a problem.

One she’ll have to find an answer to if this whole friends-with-benefits thing is going to work. If not, she’ll fail just like with everything else.

Great Listen

This is another great story by Carrie Ann Ryan. This story is everything you ever wanted in a book. Once you start, I promise you will not be able to stop listening. You will not be disappointed.

Heartfelt Story

This audiobook was narrated so well and on point. Both the narrators were outstanding. This was a first book by this author for me and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of writing. It will definitely not be my last. The storyline was a really good one and nothing like I’ve read or heard before. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. I loved the characters and the little lol moments in the book. There were some sad parts but not enough to break up tissues which I appreciated since I wanted a light hearted listen. This book had all the touchy feely moments too. Many thanks to the author for a good story with the HEA we all seek and truly want.

Friends with benefits

Erin and Devin begin as friends with benefits. Devin feels like he wants more but doesn't want to push Erin who has just come out of a bad marriage. Will Erin be able to overcome her fear of being abandoned to embrace her feelings for Devin before it's too late? I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. I enjoyed the narration by Samantha Cook and Jacob Morgan.

Great start to a new series!!

This first book in this new series spin off was a great book to listen to. Devin and Erin's story was well written and one that a reader could relate to. The pair had been jaded by events of their past - Devin with his upbringing and protective/fixer instincts with his family and Erin by her ex-husband and events of her upbringing. Both not sure about relationships have a chance meeting when Erin is at a low in her life and then have another chance meeting a short time later that turns into a relationship that neither character realized was happening until they both had feeling that they were unsure of how to handle. Both characters had amazing chemistry together and despite their relationship views at first were a great couple together. I enjoyed the return of some of the characters from other series that cross over into this one as well as the introduction of new characters. I look forward to seeing where this series will go next and I would recommend this book to others.
In the audio version of this book, the narration by Jacob Morgan and Samantha Cook was performed well by both narrators making it an enjoyable listening experience. The pair did a great job bringing all of the characters to life in this story. I was invested in the story the entire time.

One night can change everything.

When think you have your life all planned out. Then one night at your high school reunion changes everything you thought you knew.
Leave it to Carrie Ann Ryan to bring it to table again once again a Fabulous book no wonder she is my one click Author

Devin Is Awesome!!

I absolutely loved this one! If you have ever been cheated on, then you know how devastating it can be. It eats away at you and makes you wonder what is wrong with yourself or what you did wrong-even knowing it isn't anything to do with you or anything that you did. And this author wrote this in a way that not only conveys how badly it affects you but the confidence issues that are left in the wake along with the hurt and pain. Erin is this beautiful woman who trusted someone she had known since childhood and was hurt in the most emotional way possible. But she still manages to get up and do what needs doing and is just trying to move on with her life. Devin is this great man who not only stands behind his family when they need it but he will stand with his friends and just be a generally stand up person. And they have this beautiful, heart felt connection that I absolutely loved! Yes, there is a lot of chemistry between them. But what I loved even more than that was the fact that they figured out that not only could they be there as friends for each other but that they could be more and truly trust each other. I loved it!!

The narration is excellent! The emotions come across wonderfully and I loved Jacob Morgan's tone of voice! Samantha Cooke and Jacob Morgan did a great job of not only bringing this story to life but conveying how emotional the things that Erin went through made them.

Jacob saves it

He is amazing as always. I did not care for Samantha at all. No differentiation in characters. The book is quite repetitive at points and the inner monologue goes on and on. Strangely- not strangely- when Jacobs character is rambling, it doesn’t drag as much. Great narration makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!!!

Leaves you Breathless

Every once in awhile a book comes along that is beyond perfection and let me tell you, this is that book. One click, one click,  one click, that is what you really need to do. Breathless with her by Carrie Ann Ryan is astoundingly perfect. Once you start this book you definitely will not be able to put it down. A beautiful addition to a beautiful series.

carrie Ann Ryan does it again!

Story was simple but well told. Glad to see the Montgomery's woven into this spinoff story.
