Solid but…

I kept expecting more “drama” but it never happened until near the end. Of course, the ending was predictable.

Ehh

This book is boring and predictable … but not bad… I love Joe Arden (5 stars)
but unfortunately Lexi Maynard wasn’t so good Iike I thought she might be…

OMG! I love this series!

This series is everything you could want in a rom com rockstar romance. In this third book we focus on Lyle the bassist and his childhood crush. She is the younger sister of his best friend.

On her wedding day to the wrong man Lyle steps in and marries Sammi so she can fulfill her dream of having her dad walk her down the aisle before he passes.

But Lyle had always planned on marrying Sammi, maybe not quite like this, but he’s not going to complain about finally making Sammi his.

The two have to figure out how to navigate this new life together, one they always dreamed about and is now their new reality.

Sweet and Spicy Perfection!

I loved this audiobook! If you like your romances super angsty, this is not the audiobook for you. But if you like them sweet, romantic, and hot as hell, you’re gonna love this one! The epic romance for these two characters begins when they’re teenagers, when their age gap is all but insurmountable. The love they denied themselves never diminished, though, and when they get their second chance, they make the most of it. I do wish we’d been given a bit more of the characters’ back story and seen more of how their love actually began as teens. I think that would have allowed for an even stronger connection with the characters as adults. That being said, I did still absolutely connect with these characters. The idea of a love they were forced to deny that nevertheless endured, only to finally be given a chance to later blossom is a truly beautiful thing. And let me tell you, when they finally unleashed those feelings and desires, it was nothing short of incendiary!

Joe Arden turns in a stellar performance as Lyle, giving us high heat and high emotion. The opening scene is especially powerful and had me near tears. As usual, Joe Arden goes all the way there in this scene and every scene. And good god, his deep, growly baritone amps up the passion to insane levels!

Lexi Maynard was a new voice for me. And although her higher-pitched tone took a little getting used to for me, I was ultimately quite impressed with her passion-filled performance. Sammie is a younger character (only twenty-one) and her vocal performance reflects this youthful exuberance.

Overall, the story was wonderfully romantic, and the narrative performances were inspired, passionate, and authentic, making this an audiobook well worth the listen.

Great narration… not much story

I loved the concept of this book, but it didn’t feel like there was an actual story. It was just very steady. Mourning Wood was one of my absolute favorite books I’ve listened to this year so I had really high hopes for this.

Personal preference- The nickname ‘lil’ bit’ seemed more patronizing (infantilizing?) than endearing to me. It made me cringe every time I heard it (and it was A LOT) so that also took away from my enjoyment. Some people may like it - it’s not for me.

Not for me...

This story was not for me. I had less than one hour to go to this story, I had to stop. I lost interest on the first hour and wanted to give it a chance since I paid for this. I had a hard time connecting with the main characters as their relationship just didn't make sense. The story felt like it was stacked and didn't flow. I enjoyed male reader but not so much for female. I gave five stars for performance, although I didn't care for female reader. I thought it was fair to give her high rating. I just didn't care for the h. She sounded very immature and didn't improve as the story progressed. I would buy this if it was on sale and not pay full price if you want to listen to this storyl

LOVE IT!

This a great love story! This by far my Favorite book from Heather! This book has Spice, & is just a Great Story!!

Not for me

The story line dragged, a little cringing . Made only to chapter for and called it quits.
