Fighting Silence

On the Ropes, Book 1

De: Aly Martinez

Narrado por: Laura Jennings, Carson Beck

Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?

I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn't have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn't hear her voice.

You see, meeting the love of my life at age 13 was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of 21.

They both happened anyway.

Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting for my career.

Fighting the impending silence.

Fighting for her.

Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.

I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.

From tragic beginnings comes a sweet and sexy love story

I really enjoyed this book and narration! I hadn't read this series before but really loved the characters and story so much so that I went out and read the 2nd and 3rd book right away, I hope they are available on audio too soon! The narrators had a clear and high quality sound and captured the voice of the characters extremely well and added to my enjoyment of the book.

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for this unbiased review.

beautiful story

The growth of devotion and development of a unique family was truly beautiful. overcoming adversary at every turn, Till and Eliza embodied loyalty and love. There is quite a bit of profanity for those who would be offended; the story was exceptional and would have benefited from less profanity. I fell in love with all the Paige men.

Great read, then a great listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
