No One But You

By: Alexandra Silva

Narrated by: Oliver Hunt

Length: 10 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's Summary

Quincy Cavendish was my first real love. 

She’s the girl that no other measured up to. No matter how hard they tried. The one that got away, but was always in my sights. 

My sweetheart, I loved her when I could and when I shouldn’t. 

I was her first kiss. Her first crush. 

There’s nothing I wanted more than to be her first everything, but still, I walked away. I let her go when I should have held on tight. 

It’s too late to change the past. It’s impossible to do. We’re different people now, but one thing remains the same - my love for her. 

I may not have had all her firsts, but I will be all her lasts. I’m loving her for keeps. 

We’ve circled each other all our lives, but we’ve never had our moment until now.

just okay

The story just really didnt capture my attention the way I would have liked. I didnt really feel a connection to any of the characters and they were really hard for me to relate to majority of the book. It was somewhat slow at times and I found myself wondering multiple times where the author was trying to take the story. There were also periods where I was reeled back into the story but it was too easy to get distracted while listening and I had to rewind many times to make sure I didnt tune parts of it out.

Really thought I was going to like the narration but found that there just wasn't enough voice differentiation, especially with the different character point of view changes. Then to add accent on top of not knowing who was speaking or whose point of view we were in 80% of the time, just wasn't a good combination. I think I'd have liked the story more if someone else would have narrated. it wasn't a bad performance, just the narrator was not a good fit for this story.

Such a beautiful read

🎧Audiobook Obsession 🎧

No one but you was written in such a real and relatable way. Quincy and Jamie have been in love for years but they both took different paths in their relationship. When they finally got together it was so sweet. Their loyalty and support for each other was incredible. Ms Silva also took on some serious medical issues and handled it was dignity and respect. I also loved the family dynamics. Jamie's sisters are terrific and add that touch of humor to the story to lighten the heavy emotions. Oliver Hunt is a new narrator for me and did a good job bringing the characters to life. I look forward to the next book in the series and recommend this to fans of slightly taboo second chance romance.

Such an emotional tale!

This story will tear at your heart in so many realistic ways. It is the second chance romance of Quincy and Jamie who have loved each other since they were children, but their lives took different paths. A new author to me, Alexandra Silva, has written a heart-wrenching of love, tragic loss, betrayal, and lack of support when it is needed the most. After all of this heartbreak, the characters are able to heal and open their hearts up to friendship, understanding, and love. Family love provides a strong emotional backing. Quincy and Jamie love their children dearly. Because of this and their jobs, they must work closely with their ex-spouses. This couple is fated to be together, and you can't help but want them to find love with each other. The author really makes you feel the bond these two share together.

Oliver Hunt does an outstanding job of narration. He creates distinctive voices for these characters. He conveys the emotions that the characters are experiencing and takes us on their complex emotional life journey.

I received this Audible book and voluntarily wrote this unbiased review. I highly recommend this Audible book. It will look into the complexities of life and how important it is to leave the heart open for love again.

Interesting Second chance to love

This was my first Alexandra Silva's book. Quincy and Jamie’s is a complex, emotional, and realistic second chance to love, filled with twists and turns. Oliver Hunt did a good narration. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook — at my request — and have voluntarily left this review.

All The Feels

I received this audiobook free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

As a remarried father who also went through the loss of a child in a previous marriage, I feel that Alexandra Silva has perfectly captured the feelings and emotions of those experiences, and what it’s like to get a second chance at love. There were moments listening to No One But You where I found myself nodding my head knowing that the characters were expressing exactly how I felt, making the story so relatable for me that it felt wholly personal. I can say without a doubt that this is one of the most realistic romance novels that I’ve ever come across.

If I had one criticism, it’s that I wish there had been a second female narrator to do the voices of the female characters, but that’s just nitpicking on my part. I found everything else otherwise perfect!

Complicated

Wow. By the end, it was great but I gotta say, the first maybe third of the book had so many character introductions and situations that my head was spinning. Once you get the facts straight, it’s a complicated ride but a realistic look at divorce, new beginnings, family repercussions and second chances. Great character building with the capacity to feel them.
Oliver Hunt’s narration was very good.

It Was Ok

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story was filled with several twists and turns. I liked all of the characters but found the story a struggle to get into. The story was well written but it was not easily digestible for me. I have read many stories of second chances at a love that you lost due to outside forces, your own inner demons, or something totally different, but this one took me for a ride that I was not sure of. It is too long for me to go back and listen to again right now. Perhaps later. Then I will update my review.

Emotional rollercoaster

Holy emotional rollercoaster ride! This book is filled with so many up and downs! There was quite a bit of angst, but there was also so much character growth and love.

If you are ready to settle in for a story of heartbreak, love, loss, and overcoming, this is the book for you. Once I started listening, I couldn't stop. While I didn't like all the decisions these characters made, I needed to see them find their happiness.

There are several side characters in this book that would make for fantastic leads, so I'm hoping there is a lot more to come!

The narration for this was very well done. This was my first time listening to Oliver Hunt, but it definitely won't be my last!

My new favorite series!

I LOVED this book! I loved Alexandra Silva's writing style, her characters, her idea of a perfect man. I can already tell it is going to be my new favorite series, despite only having "read" this book so far! :) I will eagerly be waiting for the following books to be narrated and I really hope she sticks with the same narrator, Oliver Hunt. His voice is amazing! It absolutely made this audiobook the perfect package for me!! For this reason, I'll be waiting making myself wait for the rest of the sequel in audio format.

Lovely story

This was a beautiful love story that touches on some pretty emotive subjects. I liked that Quincy and Jaimie found love after their respective heartbreak, but the basic swapping of partners was a little too contrived for me - although I do understand Quincy and Jaimie had a past. I really didn't like Richard's character and while I don't find cheating a trigger or dislike it in books, I feel there should have been some repercussions for what he did. As for the narration I found it quite off putting that all the characters were read by a man. It confused me because sometimes I'd forget whose chapter it was. Personally, I would have liked at least different accents or something to discern between each character - particularly Richard and Jamie, they both sounded the same to me. While I enjoyed the story and would read another Alexandra Silva novel, I'm not sure I'd listen on audio unless two narrators/different narrators were used, but that is just personal preference.

No One but You

This was the first narration i've listened to by Oliver Hunt, I really enjoyed his performance. His voice was strong and clear making it very easy to listen to.

This was a debut novel for Alexandra Silva, and it was so very well written.
Quincy & Jaime's story is an emotional second chance roller coaster. The two of them grew up together but life's path divided them, and when they were able to come back into each other's lives they both had someone else. After living separate lives- including spouses & children- while remaining close friends, they've finally got the chance to be together.

Wonderful story!!!

This was a, mostly, sweet story of the love two people share and how it changes. Jamie and Quincy have known each other all of her life. They loved each other in high school but never acted on it. They went to different colleges and each married another.

Neither marriage lasted, and even though they now both live in the same town, they struggle with how their relationship should be. Quincy’s ex-husband is with Jamie’s ex-wife. Should they just remain friends??

Richard is a cheating douche.... I’m just going to put that out there.

There were problems in both marriages... the book tells you why.... but I won’t. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Speaking of listening... this is a first listen for me with Oliver Hunt as narrator, and he’s wonderful! His separation of characters was great! I will listen to him again!

Enjoyable

I for the most part enjoyed this book. I marked down one star because I felt a few parts in the story were a but drawn out and slow for me. I also marked down one star for the narrator because I'm not a huge fan of accents. Now with that being said I did give the story 4 stars because I did enjoy it and I still think the narrator did a good job even using the correct slang with the accent. This story has alot going on and it will feel like you are there with these characters. These characters have so much up and down emotional situations you will feel for them. Overall I enjoyed the story and the easy listening.

Finally Their Time!

Quincy has been friends with Jamie since they were kids. When he left to complete his training as a neurosurgeon and came back married Quincy realized that his feelings for her were not as strong as hers for him, so she moved on. She married Richard however a tragedy started the destruction of her marriage and now she finds herself divorced.

Quincy and Jamie are now both divorced and working at the same hospital. They are brought closer by a betrayal in their past and their situation is further tested by the ties that bind others to them. This story takes you on emotional journey filled with drama, angst and love. These two were destined to be together but will this finally be their time or is the baggage of their pasts too much to overcome?

I loved how both Quincy and Jamie took the high road and put the needs of their children first. I thought the narrator did a great job of bringing this emotional story to life. 🎧AudiobookObsession

Give me more!

Alexandra Silva, where have you been? This book was recommended to me and I am so glad that I gave it a listen. This story gripped me from the beginning, invested my heart in a relationship and let me want to know more! This first in the series centers around Jamie and Quincy. An unusual situation, Jamie's ex-wife and Quincy's ex-husband are married. But this is not what brings the two together. A long history, some happy, some sad tie these two together in a way that only love can. Early decisions kept these two apart, but now is the time. I can't even begin to say what I loved about this book. Let's start with Jamie. What a swoon worthy man. Not only a dad, but the best friend, good looking, attentive and his ability to know Quincy and what she needed just made me fall for him. He was completely tuned into her and able to stand by her through thick and thin. Quincy, such a great character has been through so much. Dealing with the so much, from an emotional and high pressure job, to mom to lover, she is someone that as a woman I found easy to relate to. Add in that Silva deals with life situations and decisions that are not only difficult, but with a frank, yet compassionate pen. And then the supporting cast, Willow, Dorian, Jenna, Richard and the evil Sam left me wanting more of this family. I fell in love with this book and can only hope there is more to come.

This is my first narration by Oliver Hunt, and I was pleasantly surprised with his voice. He easily had male and female voices, and with this there is a lot of emotional charge. He brought all of it out, made me feel their love, their despair and pain and happiness all with his performance. I look forward to more.

My One True Love

My title says it all. The ability to get a second chance to be with the one you know owns the other half of your heart and soul. This had me rooting that they get their happily ever after. Narrator and author is new to me, but will absolutely give them a second go round. This was truly a must listen for me.
