By: Dakota Willink

Narrated by: Lacy Laurel, Zachary Webber

Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's Summary

He was a gorgeous troublemaker with a cocky attitude.

She was the girl he shouldn't want.

They only had one summer - and a promise to have no regrets.

Cadence

Helping my parents run Camp Riley was my number one priority.

I didn’t have time for Fitz Quinn - no matter how potent his smile was.

He was the spoiled son of a wealthy politician; a gorgeous troublemaker with a cocky attitude.

But the second he spoke to me, I knew I was in over my head.

My heart warned me, but of course I didn’t listen.

There was something protective and good beneath the bad boy exterior that made my insides flutter.

Before I knew it, I was falling hard and fast.

Fitz

I wasn’t prepared to meet a girl like Cadence.

She was shy and innocent - and nothing like the girls who usually flocked my doorstep.

How could I resist her mile-long blond hair and emerald eyes?

I knew I shouldn’t want her. My father already had other plans for me and a relationship with her could never go beyond the summer.

I thought our stolen kisses by the lake were only supposed to be a summer fling.

Falling for her shouldn’t have happened.

But it did.

Now the clock is counting down until I have to return to the hell that awaits me in Washington DC.

As September draws near, I get closer and closer to losing everything I’ve come to love.

From Amazon best-selling Author Dakota Willink comes the first book in the Fade Into You series, a bad boy romance that will leave you swooning for more!

NOTE: This book was formally known as Cadence Untouched in the Cadence Duet.

Not in anyway what I expected!!!

It was so much more! The bombs that were dropped in this book came out of no where! I though I knew what was going to happen but my thoughts were squashed into the ground with fury! I was completely blindsided and even though I was a bit "ragey" at the time, I now loved every minute of it. The wait for book 2 is going to kill me but it will all be worth it to find out what happens between Fitz and Cadence!

The narration is amazing! Lacy Laurel and Zachary Webber make a great team!

Summer Lovin’

Going in to a book knowing that it’s a duet is always a danger, but Dakota Willink didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Cadence was supposed to be spending a quiet summer. She has her schooling and the camp to fill her plate, but fate has other ideas in the form of Fitz Quinn. Fitz should be hands off with his penance for finding trouble. She finds it impossible to ignore his charms, protective tendencies, and hidden good soul. Fitz has a path that had been drawn up for him before he even had a chance to want anything else. He knows he should avoid the sweet and innocent Cadence Riley and just put in his time at the camp without a scandal. He finds himself irrevocable drawn to her even knowing it can never be more than a summer fling. Their life and love may be fleeting together, but there are just something’s worth the inevitable heart ache.


Narration- Lacy and Zachary brought these two to life. Get ready for chills as they bring to the surface all the feels that are so prevalent in this story.

Sooo Good!

Let me start by saying it took me several days to get my head around this book and be prepared to write my thoughts. From the beginning of the book, I had an idea of where the book was going to end but Dakota never failed to leave me guessing. I had a love-hate relationship with this book - don't get me wrong, I loved it! But I was so frustrated at times for the characters. I have so many parts of this book that stuck with me. I find myself recalling them and getting emotional all over again. The characters were easy to connect with yet so complex. I loved the chemistry and dynamic that Dakota gave us. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone so I will just say, I loved it and I hated it! But- Book 2 will be out in just a few weeks - which is perfect as I need some processing time. Can't wait to continue this amazing story.

Narration was fantastic. Lacy Laurel and Zachary Webber gave amazing performances. They were a pleasure to listen to and really brought the characters to life. Loved it!

Just when I thought I knew what was happening

Dakota Willink is a new author to me and although I have listened to narrator Zachary Webber numerous times, Lacey Laurel is relatively new to me. Cadence Untouched was certainly brought to life by the narrators who did a fantastic job.
This book was not like I expected; just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, boom I am thrown totally for a loop.
Despite herself Cadence Riley finds herself falling for bad boy Fitz Quinn and he is equally attracted to her even though they both know that it can only be temporary,
This book was not like I expected; just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, boom I am thrown totally for a loop. I really cannot wait to find out what happens in the second book.

Breaking my Heart

This is my first book from Dakota and it was so good! I didn’t realize it was a duet and now I need book two to see how it ends!! I do think however the heroine is very naïve and annoying at times and the heroine ticked me off a few times but overall you can feel the connection between these two and that is awesome. The twists and turns were so unexpected and I felt heartbroken for them.. I cant wait to see how life ends up for these two!
The narration is really good. As always ZW delivers on every single emotion! This is my first for lacy, it took a bit getting used to but she grew on me.

Great story!

Great writing and really love these narrators. You can’t go wrong with this one. Can’t wait for the next book!!!!

I love Cadence!

Ok. This story.. was a wonderful listen! Cadence is deep and very level headed. She knows what she wants and goes after it! I was not sure about Fitz at first.... he made me question. I was so anxious for the story, and anxious to find out what happens, and... you’ll have to read or listen to find out what happens. I will tell you, it’s worth it!

First love and heartbreak

🎧Audiobook Obsession 🎧

Exceptionally well written. Cadence and Fitz had me swooning and on the edge of my seat for most of the book. So much twist, drama, and angst. I had a love/hate relationship going on throughout. What an emotional ride, I love books like these. Fantastic narration, Zachary Webber and Lacy Laurel performances were amazing. Now on to book 2 of this amazing story.

Fill Your Heart, then Find the Pieces

This is the story of Cadence and Fitz and their heartbreaking, breathtaking, earth shattering love. The narrators were PERFECT, the story line keeps you pulled in from the beginning and makes you feel everything from joy and love to heartbreak and despair. Not gonna lie by the end there were tears!
Dakota weaved a beautiful story of first love, being swept away by each other, and then the heartbreak of reality and the world crashing in. The characters are dynamic, and there are unexpected twists. I love that we get to see the romance unfolding from both points of view! Dakota does a marvelous job of dividing the story to get both sides without making the story feel bogged down or forced.
I would definitely suggest this audio book to anyone!

Good Listen

Cadence did not have time for boys but here comes Fitz and he changes her mind. They begin a slow but powerful romance for it to be only a summer fling. Fitz knows that he is not available but he can not resist his feelings. This book draws you in and leaves you anxiously waiting for more. Great Narration

Cadence Untouched

Both Zachary Webber & Lacy Laurel are new to me narrators. While I really enjoyed Zachary Webber's performance, I was not as happy listening to Lacy Laurel. Although her performance was flawless there was something about her voice that I just can't properly describe. That is more of a personal preference so other listeners won't have the same feelings about that.

After the intro to this book I spent the whole rest waiting to get back to what was happening. Because of this anticipation I felt like the rest of the book kind of dragged on. After finishing it, I realize that it was a great build up to book 2. It was the background that this couple shared.

I loved how they met, how they changed over that summer. So many people talk about summer romances or summer flings as inconsequential relationships but this relationship literally changed their lives completely.

Cadence and Fitz meet at a Music & Arts Summer Camp. Cadence's family owns the summer camp, and she has spent her summers running it all her life. Fitz is there as sort of a punishment. Hes to spend the summer volunteering at the camp, then he is to be married, all because of a college mistake. Cadence doesn't know Fitz's story, only that he is a spoiled rich kid as she calls him. Over the summer, their feelings for each other will change and grow. But at the end Fitz must leave her behind.

***sigh*** there are no words

This might just be one of my most favorite stories (no other words will do). Just wow. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Dakota Willink just wrung me dry. It was such a sweet emotional story that had me just in my feelings. Cadence and Fitz have got to be one of the stories i most enjoyed.

The narration was on point. Zachary Webber and Lacy Laurel make an awesome team and gave this story another layer of awesomeness. All in all, a definite must read.

beautiful

i loved it. made me cry a river, but i have no regrets. zach was not feeling it this time around.

A fantastic book

Cadence Untouched Audio Book by Dakota Willink is the first book in the Cadence Duet. This is a book that defines a sweet summer romance in one breath and then in the next hits you fully with all the emotion. As this story built up I found myself falling more in love with Cadence and Fitz. Although on the face of it they are so completely different they should have never worked in reality they seemed made for each other. The author did a great job of creating that connection between them.
I knew from how the book started that I was in for an emotional ride and that is exactly what happened. I was swept away by the book and enjoyed every part of it. I cannot wait to see what happens next in part two.

Really lovely audio book!

Untouched was a really lovely audio book to listen to, I really enjoyed the story and the narrators really brought the story to life. It was a great listen, not overly long – just right. There were some very unexpected twists and turns in the story too and I cannot wait to listen to the second book in the duet. I loved Cadence and Fitz, really great characters in the story. I definitely felt to innocence of Candence in the story – the author really managed to capture that well. I’ve listened to a few audio books now and I think this one probably had the best narrators, I really felt like they understood the characters well and that definitely came across.
I am really looking forward to more from this author and definitely the next book in the duet to see where this story will go.
I would definitely recommend this audio book to other listeners!

Joy

This book had me snorting straight away. Fitz and gerlad and quite funny characters and I liked them they make me laugh. Fitz is alot different as the book goes on and I feel more for him. Candace is so innocent she like a child. As time goes on she grows and make me not see her as upright as the start. Listening to this I can't convey the words to how it makes me feel I highly recommend listen or reading as this is so amazing I don't want it to end.

Well-written and enjoyable

This is not just a well-written duet; it's an enjoyable listen as well. It does, however, discuss some political issues so it might not be as enjoyable for some.

Zachary Webber and Lacy Laurel did great as Cadence and Fitz.

Cadence Untouched is a political, young-adult romance written in dual first-person POV. It's the first book in a duet and ends with a cliffhanger. It deals with sensitive subjects some may find triggering.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

🎧Audiobook Obsession Reviewer🎧

Sweet first love.

I enjoyed this well written first love story between two endearing characters, though I was frustrated by the prologue giving too much away and would recommend skipping it if you want the story to unfold naturally. Cadence and Fitz are wonderful characters who will stay with me. As usual, Zachary Webber gives a stellar performance with his narration. Lacy Laurel leaves me wanting and at times made it difficult for me to listen to an otherwise enjoyable story, but she is a favorite of many so I think this is just a personal preference of mine and shouldn’t be a deal breaker. The story is well worth the listen.
