Gripped

Prescott Series, Book 2

De: Joanne Schwehm

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Megan Tusing

Dane Prescott spends his days staring at perfect holes, and knows how to use his stiff shaft to get there. He's as hot as he is good at the sport he loves more than breathing. Dane has one goal and one goal only, to be on the professional golf tour. It's who he is and what he lives for. Women, although fun, aren't in his long-term plans.

Beverly Whitfield didn't start off as the confident woman she is today. Teased mercilessly as a child and always feeling second-best, she set out to change her future and is finally putting herself first. Never in her wildest imagination did she think she'd fall for a man with stunning good looks and sex seeping from his pores. And, oh yeah, he plays golf.

Intended for listeners over the age of 18.

Loved the emotion!

I have been looking for a book that would grab me. I couldn't put this down, and with Aiden Snow in the mix....

The ending grabbed on and the emotion Aiden added almost had me in tears. It didn't help that Beverly was relatable as someone who was also big most of her life and grew up with teasing and bullying.

Hot & Sexy romance with a side of sweet!

Gripped is book 2 in the Prescott series but can be read as a standalone. I hadn't read the first book and was not lost at all. I enjoyed the complete story and didn't feel like I missed anything.

Dane is a definite man-whore who can't even be bothered to remember a woman's name. He puts golf above all else and is totally focused on teaching golf and making it on the pro tour.

"...stretching in golf is like foreplay before sex. You can't just thrust right into it and not expect a bit of pain."

Beverly has low self esteem issues stemming from her bad body image and teasing when she was a teen. She is insecure and has a hard time trusting others. She hates golf and feels like she has always taken a back seat to her father's love of golf her whole life.

"...don't ever put this sport before love. Golf will always be there; love might not be."

Two people coming from two extreme opposite lives cause some exciting sparks! Gripped is super hot and sexy romance with a side of sweet!
This was my first book by Joanne Schwehm and will certainly not be my last!!!

I listened to this audiobook and loved the great narration. I will definitely keep narrators Aiden Snow and Megan Tusing on my must listen list!
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

No.

One of the better contemporary romance books I have read. I am impressed by the author Joanne Schwehm.

4.5 Gripping Stars!

This romantic and sexy family saga captured me right from the start and never let go! Dane is so sweet and sexy and is everything I want in my hero. Beverly had a privileged upbringing but was bullied by her peers. She has left that life and only wants to help others. Dane has only focused on Golf and making the pros. Women throw themselves at him and he has had so many conquests, never remembering their names. That is until he meets Beverly. She is beautiful, funny, kind, and hates golf. But the sparks fly instantaneously and all their reservations are forgotten. I really like Dane and Beverly, they have fun together and their chemistry is explosive. I also love the relationship Dane has with his family, their connection and banter add so much fun to the story. The narrators did a fabulous job setting each scene, and flawlessly moved from one character to the next. I was never confused with who was talking and the inflections were spot on. This is a swoony and sexy, fun and flirty romance with enough angst and emotion to keep you engaged from start to finish. I highly recommend this book!
