Fireflies

De: Lise Gold

Narrado por: Stevie Zimmerman

Senior purser Mia Donoghue is always on the go, leaving her little time for herself. She doesn't mind being busy; it provides distraction from painful memories and her daily struggle to stay sober.

Captain Ava Alfarsi has just been promoted, carrying more responsibility than she's ever had before. As a single, young and attractive captain, Ava has no problem meeting women, but her control issues and fear of people finding out she's far from perfect stand in the way of connecting with others on a deeper level.

When the two become aware of each other's deepest secrets, they find comfort in the knowledge that they're not alone. The attraction is undeniable as they embark on a healing journey together. Can Ava learn to let go, and can Mia somehow make peace with her past?

Both searching for strength to fight their demons, they never expected to find strength in each other. But is passion enough to keep the fire burning?

Fantastic!

Another by Lise Gold that I just can’t quit listening to! I really enjoyed the character depth and the overall story. Stevie Zimmerman does an excellent job with the narration. Very clear and distinct characters.

Love "up in the air" romances!

I'd say this was a good read. It was interesting and different than the stories I've read lately. That's was a bit of serious subject matter mixed in with the romance and I'd say it was a good mix. I enjoyed threw characters and their stories and struggles. This is my second Lise Gold book and I defintely look forward to more.
Audiobook was great. The narrator did an excellent job.

Unique, beautiful story.

Wonderful book of love and stuggle. So finely crafted and narrated. The characters are so powerful. This is a common theme for many people today and is so well written, sensual, sexy and believable. Will relisten again and again. Bravo.

Captain, my, my, my!

I can’t say everything I want to say, because I’ld be writing another book. The addiction was so on point that I couldn’t stop listening. I sat with a cupa tea and tablet, watching the rain fall. I sat so long I gotta cramp in my legs. L. G. You Rocked the Block, but I’m off to my next adventure.

Romance with a message

Fireflies is an important novel since, while most novels have difficulty delivering one message or theme, this one effectively and emotionally delivers TWO.
On one level, it delivers a romantic adventure, sweet, hot and believable while also, delivering a story of two women struggling with the same life altering problem.
I enjoyed the main characters immensely and their story would have held my attention, even if this was just a romance.
However, and maybe most important, their major obstacle is not a matter of love, but rather the agony of alcoholism!
I love reading romantic novels and have been doing so for a few rewarding years. However in that time, I have only read two “romantic” ones that dealt with drugs, alcoholism or mental illness.
I recently read a novel by the marvelous author Georgia Beers which explored the complications brought about when love must confront the obstacles of autism.
I think romance writers should be applauded for taking on problems that do not only fall into the usual tropes of age difference, gay or straight?, boss and employee, enemies to friends, etc!
Lastly, I learned a great deal about the travel industry, especially those hard working stewardesses and stewards. If you think it’s that romantic, you should try it for a few months 😱.
I suggest you read this story of two very personable women in their 30’s who make such a valiant effort to be together, intelligently. Passionately, and supportively.

Good listening

This was not as good as the other books of Lise Gold, but it raised some important issues and they were dealt with well.
Narration was excellent

Exceptional Narration

This was a charming story that dealt with two women who were both recovering alcoholics. The love they had for each other gave them the strength to deal with the challenges they faced. I loved the characters and this book.

Worth the listen

Draws you right in with fabulous characters, great but, not always told storyline. Awesome story.

I love this book!!

I don't even know where to start with my review this time. I really loved the characters. They were so indepth. I could feel their struggle. It deals with the issue of staying sober and how difficult that can be at times. The characters were all very well written and defined. I felt like I really got to know the main characters. The struggle to stay sober was dealt with with compassion and was realistic. The sex scenes were hot! The narrator did a great job. She had a number of voices and accents to do and she did them quite well. I will be listening to this one again!

Amazing story!

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline about the characters struggle with addiction is very well
written! The narration brings the feelings and emotions of the characters to life. I really enjoyed listening to this one!
