Burnout

De: Rebecca Jenshak

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon

Hes the hot, tattooed bad boy that I traded insults with...and now he wants my help?

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around.

Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

Focused on the future, I can't afford to get distracted. But I recognize the desperation in Knox's eyes, and I cant say no to him, either.

It should have been an easy task, but nothing about Knox is easy. One minute were arguing, and the next I'm enjoying his shirtless handstands a little too much.

Falling for him would be a mistake...

Burnout is a sports romance with a cocky bad boy, spice, banter, and a happily ever after.

Worth the listen

This was really cute, 5 stars for the narrators of course, easy listen with great chemistry.

Giggling and kicking my feet

Was book cliché and predictable? Yes.
Did I still eat up every moment of it? Yes.

If you wanna read a book about a cliché strangers to friends with benefits to relationship this book is the one for you. Knox is your typical bad boy with a rough past and is hot headed. Avery is an Olympic gymnast working back into the competition scene after a knee injury. Knox reaches out to Avery needing some workout to build his strength and balance and from there Avery and Knox's relationship grows.

This was a cute easy read I enjoyed.

Sweet college romance with killer narration!

This was the perfect audiobook. Cute, low angst, humorous with a nice dose of some spicy tension. The narration was absolutely perfect and brought the story to life with their tone, emotions, and perfect pacing.

Best performance and Knox and Avery so cute

The performance was one of the best. Loved Knox and Avery’s story and all the spice.

Cute story

I liked Knox and Avery’s story. They had great banter and I loved that they both were at the top of their game. Knox’s character has some good development with Avery being his constant. This was my first listen by this author and it was great I would definitely listen to more. Erin and Teddy did an amazing job with the narration

Good plot, great characters, 👌🏻🔥 Spice!

Loved everything about this book! Awesome narration. Knox was sexy and Avery was independent and talented.

love!

I enjoyed every second of this! I can never get enough Teddy Hamilton. He always does an amazing performance. Erin Mallon did a great job as well. I love good narrators. They make the book that much better!

Knox and Avery slow burn their way to love

This book started a little slow for me but once I got further into the story and the more emotional issues emerged, the bad boy Knox Holland raced into my heart. The idea of a motor-cross star and Olympic gymnast getting together was interesting. Knox is known for his hot head and tempered ways. Avery is extremely disciplined, careful & determined to overcome her injury. We quickly learn that Knox has some of these same qualities, determined to get himself back on a motor-cross team. He balances Avery's somewhat "uptight" attitude and encourages spontaneity in her. They really balance each other out. They both feel extreme pressure to get better and be at the top of their game. Knox has sacrificed so much for his brothers, putting his own dreams and goals on hold in order to raise them and be the :"father figure" they needed. Deep down Knox is a big cinnamon roll, not only for his brothers but for Avery as well. He's extremely loyal and watchful over his family. This new adult sports romance ended up stealing my heart. Opposites attract and the chemistry between Knox and Avery is palpable. They banter back and forth, tease one another, have fun together and support each other in their individual endeavors.
Couple things I loved:
💛Honestly, one of my favorite things about the story was Knox's relationship and love he has for all his brothers. It's quite endearing and only makes you love that "bad boy" even more
💛I love how Avery challenges Knox, not only physically in training but also emotionally in love
💛Knox's brothers are quick to tell him when he's being stupid and this is some real life, no holding back in the Holland household
💛You can tell Knox treasures Avery, calling daily, sending flowers constantly, it was so sweet
💛In the end, they decide they can and will make a way to work their long distance relationship work. It's hard but they are 100% there for one another

Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon are quite possibly the most perfect duo in romcom narration! Everything they do is fantastic and elevates the humor in the story but also the emotions and heat! There's some sizzling that happens and these two can burn like the devil! They really cannot do any wrong in my book! If Teddy and Erin narrate it, you know it's gonna be fantastic!
I hope we get to read more about the Holland brothers because I fell in love with this family and the love and support they have for one another.

The duet narration was top notch!

When I saw the the male lead in Burnout was going to be Knox, a brother of Hendrick's from Jenshak's Tempting the Player, I was so excited! Although I don't know much about motocross, I was excited to dive in and learn. And having both main characters be athletes was fantastic- I do have some knowledge about gymnastics, so reading about Avery's sport was definitely fun. I absolutely loved the banter between grumpy Knox and sunshine Avery, and watching their slow burn romance grow was so enjoyable- I especially loved that they developed a friendship first. This was so good! The duet narration by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon was top notch- they are two of my favorites and they never disappoint.

So Good!

This was my second read from this author. Burnout is a slow burn but is so worth it! Teddy is one of my favorite narrators. This was my first from Erin, but they were so great together.
