A wonderful story

I love the fact that it does not play into a lot of the tropes I often see with romance novels.
This book is sweet, low angst and funny.
Also, I adore Millie <3

Too monotone

It was a struggle to get through the narrator's performance made it hard to enjoy. Probably a better read, even though there were a few parts that were cringe worthy.

enjoyed it - solid 4 stars

📖 Story comment: Good pace, engaging characters, entertaining story.
I'm really enjoying the characters of Aimee Nicole Walker's "Savannah universe". I always enjoy cameo appearances from familiar characters and Felix is a hoot as Jimmy's "Mentor".

I found this story to be sweet, fun and with little drama - just what I needed! The characters are well written and easily carry the story, so I was completely invested in their outcome.

🎧 Narrator comment: Personally I love Tristan James as a narrator, I go through phases where he's just what I need to soothe the jagged edges of my psyche. I find his tones soothing, he has good timing and inflections and he brings these characters to life. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance, and am pleased he continues to bring the men of Savannah to life.

Romance Destined in the Stars!

This was such a heartwarming, sweet and sensual love story! Nova and Jimmie are such beautiful souls who are lonely for love and are simply destined for each other! This Audible is so visually stunning. I could picture each character and envision all of the places they lived, worked and visited! I loved Tristan's accent for Nova and the voices he used for Nova's daughter Millie and Nova's Mom! He brought all of the side characters to life as well! Jimmie's work mentor Felix was a riot! It is a slow burn journey where you get to intimately know them and join them through all their new adventures and emotions! It is full of family, friends, humor, sensual love scenes and just complete and total sweetness! The Ending made me so happy!!

These two were adorable.

Jimmy was the shy quite type. Nova is a space engineer who is in charge of the massage telescope project. They start their love match when Nova finds Jimmy’s list of things he wasn’t to accomplish for the summer. Some were very naughty. They work through the list and come up with some additional ideas to work on. Oh boy a hot summer it turned out to be. Nova

Sweet, Relaxing Story

This was a very sweet and romantic story. with little to no angst. I absolutely LOVE how ANW has created such complex, three dimensional men. One main character is a 26 year old virgin living with his mother and grandmother, and the other man is a reserved scientist who suffers from tourettes (as in the twitching kind, not the randomly cursing variety). It's fantastic that she has helped to normalize the syndrome, thought the story actually contains no episodes. Anywhooo, I only have two negatives about this story. Firstly, I like more sex. There are only 2 good sex scenes. What can I say, I'm a sappy housewife. Secondly, Tristan James is no one's favorite narrator. There's just something about his voice that definitely does not lend itself to multiple hours of listening. If you're looking for a sweet, easy to read, MM romance without too much freakiness, this is a great read.
