Endurance

By: Amy Daws

Narrated by: Will M. Watt, Charlotte Cole

Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's Summary

He rejected her. She loathes him. Now they have to fool everyone and pretend they actually like each other.

Tanner Harris has been busy shagging his way through the ladies of east London, but getting caught by the paparazzi buck-naked with his trouser snake in his hands means he's sowed his last wild oat.

Dr. Belle Ryan once thought Tanner Harris was the perfect kind of bearded bad boy she needed to relieve a bit of stress after her intense job as a surgical fellow, but an icy cold rejection from London's sluttiest footballer puts the two at each other's throats.

Fate and a favor conspire to put Tanner and Belle back in each other's paths and they're forced to do a lot more than get along to save face and their careers.

Rage turns to passion and tempers run sizzling hot when they realize they aren't just falling for each other - they're jumping head first. And neither have the endurance to keep their hands to themselves.

Tanner and Belle were amazing!

This was the best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time. The story was fun, engaging, and extremely real. However, the narrators for this story, blew me away! Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole did a fabulous job! I’ve never listened to an audiobook where they read the male and female parts in every single chapter. When I’ve read them before, they just switch off in the chapters written in that perspective. (I hope that isn’t super confusing.) I loved this! I want to find more like this!

I laughed and giggled quite a bit throughout this story but that epilogue is something else! I laughed out loud in the car and I’m pretty sure the people next to me at the stop light thought I was crazy! The supporting characters were just as awesome and wonderful as the main characters. I love this family and their friends and can’t wait to get more of the story!

I love the enemies to lovers trope and this story did not let me down. The characters were so interesting! Tanner is a professional, and very slutty footballer and Belle is a neonatal surgeon! I’ve never read a book where the main characters have these careers and I enjoyed every minute of it! There was a perfect amount of drama, tension, sassiness, and of course an important lesson in love, and giving back when you can.

I’m off to go grab Challenge on audio now and I can’t wait for the next book in the Harris Brothers series!

✫✫✫✫✫ 5 Stars ✫✫✫✫✫

I liked book 1 and was excited to listen to the next book but I have to say this one came as a surprise to me because of how much I loved it! Tanner and Belle were perfect, I loved their banter and honesty! I don’t normally like the fake dating trope but seriously Amy Daws nailed it with these two.
Tanner comes across as an arrogant playboy but honestly he was just a guy having fun and was honest about it but I was so surprised by how sweet he was. He has a big heart for people in need and his entire family. Belle is such a strong character, how could I not love her! She is a hero in her job, a great friend and so honest and blunt! Their chemistry was off the charts hot! I’m loving the closeness and family togetherness with the Harris’s, how they bring people into their family and the seriously strong females in this series so far! I can’t wait to start the next one and get to know the other brothers more!

The narration is perfect, I’m usually on the fence about duet, if it’s done right, I really enjoy it but sadly it’s not usually done right in my opinion but these two did it perfectly! Their flow is spot on and it doesn’t feel jarring when the narration switches back and forth like duet sometime does to me. If all duets were like this I would listen to so many more!

Tanner Harris is MINE

What made the experience of listening to Endurance the most enjoyable?

The narration. The characters. The absolute hilarity that ensues.

What did you like best about this story?

Tanner and Belle have chemistry. We know this because they had chemistry in Challenge. What I did not see coming was just how hot they would be on the page. Or in my ears,as is the case here.

What does Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

That accent though! I know, that's probably not a good enough reason, but to my American ears, the accents are a thing of beauty. It gives me the illusion that I'm really there--whether it be on the pitch, in Belle's flat, or just spending time with the Harris family--and I love it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. OMG! If I could have taken the time to listen all at once, I would have. No questions asked here. Tanner Harris is the bearded sexy Harris brother I needed to get to know. Belle Ryan is the fiesty, fierce doctor I wanted to have as a best friend.

Any additional comments?

Just get the audio. Will Watt and Charlotte Cole are perfection.

Tanner & Belle for the win!

Amy Daws writes sexy English footballers so well, I thought she was British! Once upon a time I used to think I couldn't listen to an audiobook narrated with an English accent. Then along came Will M. Watt and changed EVERYTHING. Not liking English accents is not a thing. I repeat, IT'S NOT A THING! If you think it is, just listen to will for a little bit. Problem sovlved!
Oh Tanner & Belle....equal parts entertaining and frustrating and so freaking adorable and hot it should be illegal. Then Amy Daws goes and ties in characters from Not The One and my heart just couldn't take it any more! My emotional cup was overflowing with all the feels!

Funny and Sexy!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes because it was a entertaining story.

Any additional comments?

The story is funny and sexy. I love how the narrators brought Belle and Tanner to life. I especially loved when they were arguing, so funny. I have to admit that in the beginning, the British accent threw me for a loop but all was good. I really enjoyed the story.

Wow! Just WOW!

Would you listen to Endurance again? Why?

OMG yes. I have never laughed so hard. This was the best rom com I've read in a long time.

What other book might you compare Endurance to and why?

Challenge by Amy Daws. These books are related and the characters are related. How can you go wrong.

What about Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole ’s performance did you like?

Loved the vibe that Will and Charlotte had in this book. They totally got the characters and it was apparent in their narration.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I've never laughed so hard. I was listening to it at the gym and I was told I was laughing too loud.

Any additional comments?

No

So good!

I absolutely love this series! Daws captures emotions and makes me feel them, right along with her characters. From hilarious laugh-out-loud moments, to poignant, soul-tearing sadness, I've felt it all. The duet narrators are perfect, and they partner smoothly.

An absolute joy to listen to!

This book...this BOOK!
I laughed (a lot!).
I cried.
I shook my head in frustration.
Such chemistry and heat!
Intriguing and charismatic. Attention grabbing from the get go. And, I'm so happy I had a chance to enjoy it on audible first! These narrators are ABSOLUTELY perfect. Provoking a shiver or a smile with one accented word.
This Harris family and all the characters are just great!
The story flows so well, the characters people you could know in your own life, down to earth.
Looking forward to reading/listening to more by this author.

Audible gold

The Harris brothers are wildly addictive with their crazy shenanigans. Lucky for them they have found themselves some wonderful ladies who know the cure for their kind of crazy.

You will not be able to get enough of this story it is fast paced, freaking funny and just down right full of love. The kind of love Amy gives us through her characters is touching and rare to find in a book, it really hits you that hard.

I can not wait to see what Amy had in store for us next.

I loved listening to this more than reading it!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read/Listen Stars!!!!!

I've read this but just had to give it a listen. I love Amy Daws and everything I've read by her. I have to say that I enjoyed listening to this way more than when I read it. The narrators! Oh the narrators! They did an amazing job. I don't know if Amy handpicked them or if someone else did. Whoever did, picked them perfectly! They brought the story to life and made it that much more enjoyable for me. The accents and voices changes were spot on and I loved that they did their respective gender voices. They pulled that off brilliantly. This is an audiobook that I will be listening to over and over. I may have to go back and see what other audiobooks Amy has and who narrates them.

There's just so much to say and I can't get my thoughts to stop swirling around for five seconds to organize them. I thought sleeping on it would help but I ended up dreaming about Tanner and Belle. Seriously, though. I absolutely loved this just like everything I've read by Amy. I actually was just looking at Amy's Goodreads author page and realized there were a few books I haven't read yet. Oh, you can bet I one-clicked those. See, what did I tell you? My thoughts are all jumbled.
Let's give this a go and see how it turns out. *grimaces*
I really didn't like Tanner at the beginning. Yeah, after meeting him in Challenge, I thought he was funny and he intrigued me. The way things start off with him and his piggish ways left a bitter taste in my mouth. Then he went and did something that pinged my heart and that was the beginning of the slow fall for me.
Belle and Tanners push and pull made this story that much more tantalizing. I kept swiping pages to see how and if they would succumb to each other. Their banter was hilarious and had me laughing out loud a lot.
I also enjoyed getting a glimpse of Liam and Reyna from Not the One and catching up with Vi and Hayden. I did see that they had a little short story about them published in an anthology (Drunk In Love - http://amzn.to/2mxEgvF). Yuppers, I one-clicked that! Hey, they don't call me Crazy Daisy Book Whore for nothing now, do they?
Amy Daws continues to be a favorite of mine and I do not see that changing anytime soon or at all.

Favourite book Series.

Love this series so hard and I love it even more on audio. Will and Charlotte are the best narrators I just love them .

A COCKY BRITISH FOOTBALL PLAYER

Brilliant!!

As sports Romance books go, I am loving this series. The Harris brothers are becoming one of my favorite family's along with The Morgan Brothers from Lauren Rowe and The Connors from Nikki Ashton.

Endurance is the second book in the series and with it comes another cheeky footballer Tanner Harris. I loved this book more than the first and that says a lot because I really enjoyed Camden and Indies story too. Tanner is the twin to his brother Camden who has his own story in the first book, he's a lovable guy albeit a bit of a man-whore.

When Tanner finds himself naked in a phone booth after fleeing a disastrous sexcapade and has to borrow a phone from a tramp to call for help, he gets Belle who is his brother's girlfriends friend.

To clean up his man-whoring image Tanner is forced to date a respectable person and that ends up being none other than his brother's girlfriends friend Belle who is a Doctor.

I loved the chemistry with these two, it was a love-hate relationship from the moment they met and even when they were fake dating it was hot. They both had the philosophy if they had to go without for a few months why not use each other and be fr-enemies with benefits as well.



Endurance is a fun read filled with fighting that always leads to foreplay, it was great, and I can't wait to read more in this series to see which Harris brother wins my heart next.

Told in first person dual pov. Available In KU and Audible.

I listened to this book in Audible, I loved the dual narration and the cockney characters that yet again made this story come to life.

Brilliant.

Brilliant blend of great story, humour, heat and wonderful characters.

After reading and listening to ‘Challenge’ the first book about one of the Harris twins I couldn’t wait to hear about Tanner.

Any Daws has an amazing ability to create wonderful characters that you would love to know and be a part of their family. By doing this she engages you with their story and you become invested in the outcome.

I loved this book and am away to purchase the next book about Booker Harris as I can’t seem to get enough of the Harris family.

5 "your crazy is showing" Stars

Listened to the audiobook of this one. It was so good! I wasn't sure if I would like an audiobook or not as I have never listened to one before, but this being a dual narration made it something special. Hearing the emotions instead of just reading them, and I was trying not to cry or trying not to laugh out loud and look like an idiot in some parts. I give the audio 5 stars as well. I love those Harris boys.

Sports romantic comedy heaven

A really fun listen made most wonderful by these two narrators that knocked the characters from good to great. Will Watt was particularly excellent. I can't quite imagine this is as fun on ebook but then I do love audio.

I think I preferred Belle and Tanner's story to Challenge (book one). I preferred how they met and the circumstances of their relationship. The banter, arguments and chemistry were so funny but also powerful. A little gripe from my direction on minor inaccuracies about foetal/neonatal surgery but 99.9% of listeners will be none the wiser. All in all a great listen and I'm here for this series for as many brothers as are on offer.

Amy scores another goal!!

I don't think I've listen to one audiobook from Amy Daws that's hasn't made me cry! To start, the story is amazing but the emotion the narrators bring is outstanding. I didn't want the story to end! This is a must listen!!

An aural delight!!

I didn't think it could get better after Challenge. It so did!
Again, both narrators did a perfect job in reading Amy's story, they both fit the bill so well! I love both voices!!
I laughed and cried and couldn't stop listening!! Bring on the next Harris!!

My Kinda Crazy!

What did you like most about Endurance?

This is a great enemies to lovers romance. I read it on ebook format earlier and just had to come back for a re read with sound.

What did you like best about this story?

The thing that had me enthralled is the banter between this couple. Lots of humor and crazy that make them unique. I also loved that we got to hear more of Camden and Indie, another favourite couple.

Which character – as performed by Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole – was your favourite?

The narration on this book was brilliant. Each character was as lovable as the main couple. Throwing in different accents was a great differentiation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I am slowly getting more and more hooked on audio books, and I couldn't wait to listen to this book and nearly finished it in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Tanner and Belle are forever in my memory for their craziness, that is my kinda normal.

Wow!

I read this story when it first came out and loved it then. But wow, listening to it was an entirely different experience! Will and Charlotte did such an amazing job, they made me feel even more. Between their stellar performances and Amy's brilliant words, this story is everything!

5 OMG Mankini Stars

Harris Brothers book 2 follows Cam's twin brother Tanner Harris and Indie's best friend and flat mate, Belle Ryan. As disgraced Manwhore Tanner is suspended from his soccer club for a month and Belle is photographed by the paparazzi in a compromising position with said Manwhore, the couple end up having to have a fake relationship to protect their reputations and their careers. As relationships go, they have their moments, the sparks fly and the sexual tension sky rockets, and I loved it. It's witty and sexy, the characters are wonderful, the story perfect. I'm thinking this may be my favourite Amy Daws book yet.
The duet narration between Will Watt and Charlotte Cole is perfect. They completely nail Tanner and Belle. I'm loving this series on audible.
