Publisher's summary

Marriage was supposed to be our "happily ever after".

But it’s looking more like "the end".

Nataya is my world. My rock. My wife.

Our marriage was perfect. Or so I thought.

Reality hits me hard when I come home to an empty bedroom and a scribbled note on our bed.

It’s over. Or so she thinks.

I’d rather lose my sanity than lose her.

I thought convincing Nataya to start again would be easy.

She still wants me. She stills sighs when I touch her. Still melts when I kiss her.

But there’s a secret standing between me and my wife.

I’ll have to do more than seduce Nataya to fix my mistakes.

If I want her, I’ll have to earn her.

Earn Me is an angsty marriage-reconciliation romance with a hot, tatted husband and the gorgeous wife who demands his all.

The mechanic was the stand out for me.

The book was OK. The story was fine. I wish the voice gave different voices. They tended to blend in for me. Once I got into it, was alright.

Sooooo rooting for Stone!

Awesome love & maarriage story! I wish more men had a Doc on their roster!

Great Story

The betrayal...and just when you thought he was gonna win her over with the band aid solution -life happened.

Good 👍

I happened to come across this book as a recommendation from a different book and when I read the overview I became intrigued.
The story and characters were wholesome and relatable in many ways. This couple shows a side to marriage and how you have to work and fight for your loved one, if they truly are the one. I even ended up rooting for Stone!
As far as the narrator, I found it very hard to listen to her. Nice voice but there were a few times that her pronunciation and difficulty changing her voice between male and female left me feeling very displeased. Distracting to say the least.
Still though I really enjoyed the book/story and definitely will be going to buy other books in this series by Nia Arthurs. I'd rather read it in hand going forward then listen to the narrator again.

Narrator needs work

Please whatever you do, do not use this narrator until she is able to change her accent to Mimic different characters and is able to understand and apply context in order to choose the right pronunciation. I had to push myself through the book cringing every time she said “tares” instead of tears (crying)

Wonderful Story

This book was really great. I loved the story line where the romance is with a married couple. It’s a different approach because they have known each other for years & something goes wrong in the marriage. Her husband really did a terrible thing that even I was really upset with him. I felt like she should have made him suffer a bit more because of what he did. He got off kind of easy.

I also loved the mechanic couple guru in the story. He has some really great advice on how men need to take accountability in their marriages & he put the husband on the path to fixing the things he broke.
The thing I didn’t like was the narrator. I think they should have had a male & female narrator for this book. They also should have picked a narrator who sounds like a black female. This one sounds Asian reading a black woman’s part. She used some words incorrectly & didn’t have that black girl magic when it comes to the way we speak or approach situations. She was too mild in situations that called for a bit of spice. Even as an educated successful black woman we are spicy with our dialect.
Overall still a great story.

Terrible Narration

The primary purpose in listening to an Audible book is hear a story come to life with awesome narration. The narration for this book was awful, the worse I have ever heard. The author should have at least had a male and female narrator. This narrator could not pull off both roles and her narration made the story boring. I wasted my money on this one.
