Morgue to Love

A Last Responders Romance

By: Megan Montgomery

Narrated by: Victoria Connolly, Benjamin Sands

Dr. Soula Smythe is the youngest (and for my money, the prettiest) Medical Examiner in Nashville, Tennessee, only I didn’t know it last night when I was between her legs and she was just, Soula.

This morning, we meet again at the workplace—the county morgue—and if I wasn’t concentrating on not spilling my guts from the nasty fumes of this D.O.A., it’d be awkward as hell.

Our eyes meet over the autopsy table...

...ahem...

...cough...

...the autopsy table absolutely covered in melted, gooey human remains that are long past recognizable. A .22 blade scalpel glints in her raised hand.

I open my mouth to speak. The name, Soula, is right there on my tongue.

Unfortunately, so is the stench—and taste of decomposition.

When I wake up on a scratchy, tweed couch with a pounding headache, Soula’s handing me something steamy in a Dolly Parton mug. She’s just as beautiful in her light green scrubs as she was naked in my bed last night, but her expression is clear—She wants nothing more to do with me.

But I want everything to do with her.

loved it!

Megan is a new to me author, I actually read the ebook a few weeks ago on my own because I read and loved the ARC of her most recent book, The Remains of Christmas, and then jumped on the chance to listen to the audiobook.
I’m also pretty new to listening to audiobooks- mostly choosing to listen to books I’ve previously read and I have to say this is the first time where no only did listening to the story make me like it even more, but it made the story better. Several audiobooks I’ve listened to have changed my perspective slightly for the worse of books I previously read/enjoyed because listening to the tone of voice/inflection was different from how they sounded in my head when I was reading. Morgue to Love was the opposite- the narration matched my brain. Along with that I think the narrators themselves did a great job.
As for the story itself, I loved it, but I already knew that I would from reading it earlier this month lol. At this point in my life I’m mainly reading books for the romance story/relationship aspect and this definitely fits the bill. I really enjoy the last responders theme, although I wish there had been more about Soula’s job, and there was a lot about Soula’s childhood/life that I found relatable. Highly recommend!

Loved to listen

A one-night stand leads to big surprises in this first of a romance trilogy centered on deathcare workers. After reading the print version, I was delighted the narrators perfectly fit how I'd pictured the characters - a straightforward medical examiner and a kindly confident investigator. Loved it!

Heartfelt

I really enjoyed this story despite it having my least favorite trope! Goes to show you got to give things like that a chance. I’m a science person and could relate to the FMCs very science-y brain with direct and at times abrasive communication. The MMC is a teddy bear trying to get her to open up. They blend perfectly. I particularly enjoyed how the author incorporated Greek culture into the story as well.

I absolutely adore Victoria Connelly. She did a fantastic job narrating, as usual! Benjamin Sands is new to me, and he was also amazing!

boring but interesting

there was good parts, horrible parts but really good once it got past the stall parts

Great plot

I truly loved this audio! This is one of my favorite authors and none of her books have disappointed!
