Her Valentine Surprise

Manhattan Holiday Loves, Book 2

By: Ayla Asher

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

Sam has a secret he holds close to his heart...

Joy Paulson is fine being single. In fact, it saves her from the maddening dating rituals in Manhattan. If she ever settles down, it will be with someone she truly loves and trusts. That’s why she turns down her super-hot boss when he asks her out, leading to disaster when he retaliates, forcing her termination.

Sam Davidson has pined for Joy since the first time he saw her sweet smile and stunning eyes. But there’s a secret that the shy IT developer holds deep inside: Sam is still a virgin. At twenty-nine, he never intended it to happen, but accepts that he could never please Joy in all the ways she deserves.

Sam can offer her a job, though, and proceeds to help Joy rebuild her life after the unfair firing. As their work relationship grows, Joy is taken with Sam’s kindness, gorgeous crystal-hazel eyes and generous smile. And his hands…oh, his firm, broad hands...Joy can’t figure out why Sam resists the desire that sparks so vividly between them, but Valentine’s Day is coming and she’s determined to seduce him and make them both burn. Even if it means discovering all his secrets...

Inexperienced hero trope lovers unite! This is a fun, fast-paced, steamy novella from an author who wanted to flip the script and write about a sweet, sexy, inexperienced male main character. Sam is so adorably sensual and endearing, he might just melt your heart. Here’s wishing you a fantastic Valentine’s Day all year round!

Wen Ross and Kai Kennecott duet narration is great! They make it an enjoyable experience listening to this story. I was gifted this story and offered my honest review

Conflicted

I like the story and I like the narrators, but I felt what Joy did was much like what Drake did at the beginning of the story. I also wish Sam had been a little more developed.

GOOD READ!

This book was a good read with a very sweet romance. The narration was good and kept me entertained! The author did a good job with the character builds and plot! I look forward to reading the next book in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Enchanting Love story!

Ayla Asher has written a magical slow burn romance. It has excellent plot and character development. Joy is a strong and intelligent woman who follows her instincts. Sam is intelligent, caring, loving, and hides an embarrassing secret. Both of these characters must learn how to compromise and communicate. I love how the romance blooms between Sam and Joy and how the sex scenes are so romantic and loving. Joy also has 2 girlfriends that share absolutely everything and one who has a partner that hears everything and put his two cents in. He also becomes a good friend with Sam. At the end Sam risks everything that he has worked for and possibly his freedom in order to prove his love for Joy.

Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott adds so much humor and love in their duet narration. They bring the emotions and personalities of these characters to life. When I listen to them I get so caught up in the story that I actually feel a part of it. I definitely highly recommend this Audible book. This author and these narrators have created a fun and delightful story.

WOW!

Alya Asher has written an amazing love story! Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott are wonderful working together narrating books. You can feel the connection they have for each other by just listening to their voices.
