Publisher's Summary
An unpauseable new romance from New York Times best-selling, Audie Award-winning author Kylie Scott - available in audio first!
When Anna wakes up from a coma after a car crash, she discovers life has gone on without her. Her husband has been unfaithful - with her best friend - and she’s been long since replaced at work. While her old life is a distant memory, her new life feels like an empty shell. Then she meets the stranger who saved her life during the crash, and he changes everything.
Leif Larsen - tattooist, joker, and player - has his own scars thanks to the crash that put Anna in a coma. Helping her move on from her failed marriage, and create a new life, sounds like a perfect distraction. So when he needs a new roommate, he invites Anna to begin her new life with him.
Although their lives may have been put on pause, together they just might find a way to heal.

When a scandal tarnishes the reputation of hot-as-hell A-lister Patrick Walsh, he needs a reputation rescue, pronto. Enter waitress Norah Peers - a nobody who’s average with a capital A. She’s available, dependable, and has sworn off men for the rest of her natural born life. In other words: the perfect match for a no-strings fake romance.

Two years after his wife’s death, rock star Garrett Hayes hasn’t moved on. But he has moved out of L.A. Where better to escape his past than a small town in the northern California mountains? If only he could get the townsfolk of Wildwood to leave him the hell alone. Ani Bennet returned to her hometown for some much-needed serenity. The last thing she needs is a grumpy, too hot for his own good, rich and famous rock star living next door—and rent-free in her brain. She set her fangirl tendencies aside when they became neighbors. But when Garrett asks for help, she can’t say no.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don’t fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He’s gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own.

She's distractingly pretty, with soulful eyes and a sinful mouth that likes to argue with me.

Growing up, I knew my older brother’s best friend thought of me as “Logan’s kid sister”. For me, though, our next-door neighbor Colin felt like anything but a sibling. Whenever I spied on him through my bedroom window, as he banged away, shirtless, on his drum kit, I felt sensations inside me I’d never felt for my actual brother. But when we moved away and Colin’s band took off like a rocket, I knew my tweener fantasies would never become a reality.

Ah-maze-ing story and narration!!!
I loved this slowburn romance. Anna and Leif were amazing. I couldn't get enough of how supportive Leif was. All he wanted was for Anna to find herself. Anna is fabulous. She woke up from a coma to find her world flipped upside down. What she believed was completely turned on its axis. Anna had to find herself. I loved listening while she found herself. She became empowered and I loved watching her become a stronger her.
"It's more the whole of you that drives me crazy." -Leif
The narration was perfect. Andi Arndt is a fabulous narrator and I felt like she gave Anna life. It's odd, we don't get Leif's POV through this book but I would have loved to have his thoughts. This isn't a negative thought, I could have used 4 more hours of this book and would have loved getting his side. Saying that, this is an amazingly strong and powerful story as it is. I love finding a book where a woman is on a mission to find herself and she does. She comes out stronger and Arndt knocked the narration out of the park.

So good. The story was compelling and the chemistry between Anna and Leif was electric. I adore all of Kylie Scott’s protagonists. It’s amazing just how much character development and growth were packed into one story. There were so many emotions. This was the perfect way spend the day and put a smile on my face.

Standing for what is right!
I loved Anna and Leif! Anna is coming out of a coma. Leif was hit on his motorcycle by Anna as a result of her being hit. He reads to her while she is in the coma. He is totally swoon worthy like his brother Ed! Her husband, Ryan, cheated on her while she was in a coma with her best friend. Leif is not her normal type. He is tattooed and rides a motorcycle. I admired her spunk in standing up to what is in her comfort zone and truly coming into her own. Loved Andi Arndt’s narration!

Pause
Audiobooks can be hit or miss for me, but this was such a great listen/read. The narration was easy to listen to and engaging. It really brought the characters to life.
This was my first Kylie Scott book and I found myself drawn in by Leif and Anna's story. How strong she was to rebuild her life after her accident and the implosion of her marriage. How she and Leif connected and ultimately found something special with each other.
This was really a wonderful read and I can't wait to try more of Kylie's books.
Pause is connected to the previous book Repeat but is a standalone. It does contain a spoiler for Repeat, though, so you might want to read Repeat first.

Kylie definitely has more talent than most authors of this genre, but man this was rushed. The build up between Anna and Reif was moving along so perfectly (a pleasant surprise) when BAM! End phase 1; Move to phase 2...Que the porn and nasty talk. Blah. Over it.

Loved Leif and Anna!
I really enjoyed Pause! Anna and Leif's story was both tragic and heartfelt. Scott does an amazing job of writing characters that you can relate to and connect with. Both of these characters were involved in the same tragic accident, that eventually brought these two together. Andi Arndt's performance is spot on as Anna. You can really feel all of Anna's pain and passion in her performance as she struggles to find herself again after waking up from a coma. I also just fell in love with Leif! I loved how well his character connected and fell for Anna. Not to mention Andi's male voice is swoon-worthy. Overall, I just really enjoyed this audio!

Like watered down Diet Coke...meh!
So the cover makes you think alpha male..but instead you get boring tattoo artist. Who knew there was such a thing?? So many cliches combined with doth, kind sir, and my ladies. Toss in Twilight binge sessions and one of the weakest heroines ever written and that sums up this audiobook. I barley finished it....and also the sex scenes verbiage made me cringe. So glad I didn’t spend a credit on this!

Pause
I am a fan of the author so hard, that once I knew this book was coming out and in audio no less my audiobook loving heart did a pitter patter!
Anna will steal your heart her story will sadden enrage you, but it will also make you want to cheer her on. Her life hasn’t turned out the way she thought it would but her strength in the face of everything is a sight to behold.
Leif surprised me in all of the awesome ways hero’s do. He wasn’t what I was expecting and I loved that. I like being surprised by a character I thought he would be gruff. But he was just Leif and once you know, you know.
I like the way these two fall for each other well its sweet, it isn’t instant and it isn’t planned but it happens and the way they accept it is sweet. Make no mistake the heat is there it is plain to see.
Yes there are some overlapping characters from other books but I completely would call this a standalone.
The narration, though I like Andi it would be nice to have a new narrator for Kylie’s books shake things up a little bit.
I say this because though the characters are not the same the sound of them is and as someone who loves Kylie’s work I listen a lot and they all are starting to sound the same.

a lovely friends to lovers
This was a very sweet story. It did have some sad moments but overall it's about overcoming some rough obstacles that life throws at them. Leif is the perfect hero. He's kind, patient, protective and supportive.
Anna has been handed a really raw deal, but I love how strong she is. She sticks up for herself and doesn't back down. She might be a little insecure with all that has happened to her, but she pushes thru. And she finds some great people to support her on her journey, including Leif.
I really enjoyed how they created a friendship first. It made for a story that felt more realistic and not just glamorized.
Andi Arndt delivers a fantastic performance that really brought these characters to life.

heart warmer
This book warmed my heart!
Anna has a terrible accident, has been betrayed by not only one person but 2 and is at a crossroads in her life.
Leif was also in the accident and is there after to make sure she is ok.
Leif is a constant support for Anna and man, I had a visual in my head of him and it was glorious!
Loved the narrator,
Loved the story,
Loved Anna,
Especially loved Leif,
100% recommend!
And Anna is correct, taking your bra off is the best moment of the day!!!!!

Enjoyable follow up to Repeat
Headlines:
Accidents
Betrayal
Quick fulfilment
I feel like I’m the champion of Repeat by Kylie Scott, I loved that audio and I’ve since re-listened and re-read. So Pause had big shoes to fill and alongside that Leif wasn’t the easiest character like in Repeat having fouled up in his relationship choices bringing consequences.
Pause started with an accident and hospitals which felt reminiscent of Repeat but I didn’t mind that to be honest, as Anna’s story was different enough to feel new. The circumstances she found herself in however, were pretty vile.
I liked hearing about how Anna’s life unraveled and came back together, I perhaps wanted a bit more narrative about her recovery. Anna and Leif had chemistry but it felt pretty fast moving. I enjoyed the story but I wasn’t wowed by it.
This was a quick listen, I would say this is a perfect for a day or a weekend, with great narration. Andi Arndt excels at male dialogue, so while this is a single POV story, when Leif speaks, it feels so credible on the audio.
Thank you to Audible for the early review copy.

Listened to other books by this author and enjoyed them, this one was hard to listen to and the narrator gave no emotion or personality to the characters, especially the male character. Not really a recommended book

Could be based on a true story
The plot and scenarios within this book could very well be likely, and are certainly believable. That being said the story isn’t very out there or as interesting as I would normally be thrilled to read, just a kind of… meh.
Andy Arndt makes the story worth listening to with her usual flamboyant personality that shines through however. Glad this was a free book.

Sorry but a really irritating female lead character. Found her frustrating and painful at times.

A Surprisingly Sweet Story
I enjoyed this way more than I initially thought. The story is gripping with a surprising amount of angst but a truly great romance. The voice actor is fantastic.

two thumbs up
I listened to this on audible, the narrator, Andi Arndt was amazing.
What is it about the characters Kylie Scott creates that makes them so endearing that they own your heart almost immediately, right? I felt that way about Leif and Anna, with their shared experience of surviving a serious accident that affected them physically, mentally, and emotionally. There were some heavy moments while they sorted through their thoughts and feelings about it. But it was the attraction between Anna and Leif that took them by storm and that dominated the pages right until the happy ending. And I couldn’t get enough.
If you’ve read book one in the Larsen Bros series, Repeat, then you’ve already “met” Leif. If you haven’t read it, don’t worry. We get up close and personal with the gorgeous tattoo artist in this installment. (That sexy book cover is pretty much spot-on!! *dreamy sigh*) I will caution that the plot and outcome from Repeat is briefly discussed here so there are some spoilers but it was necessary for Leif to bring up past events to Anna so she would understand him better. I have to say that he was a good guy right down to the core. Leif had a wonderful sense of humor, was artistic, outrageously flirty at times, but could be sensitive, and was certainly a safe place for Anna to turn.
Anna was one tough cookie–underneath all her understandable baggage and tangled up emotions. She had a totally different background from Leif but was quick to look past it and was honestly more comfortable with him and his down to earth family and friends than a lot of people from her past. The accident was the beginning of a hellish year for Anna. I won’t get into details because they’re an important part of how Scott draws readers into the storyline. Suffice to say, though, that the bond it created between Anna and Leif was instant and only grew from there in a very natural way.
Absolutely sigh-worthy, Pause was a roommate romance that fully delivered with a solid plot and all the heat and emotional depth I expect from Kylie Scott. Definitely recommended.

What an amazing ride this was
ANNA HAS BEEN IN A COMA FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
WHILE HER LIFE HAD BEEN ON PAUSE, THE WORLD AROUND HER CONTINUED WITHOUT HER.
EVERYTHING SHE KNEW ABOUT HER LIFE HAS BEEN DRASTICALLY CHANGED.
SHE WAKES UP TO THE NEWS OF HER HUSBAND CHEATING WITH HER BEST FRIEND. WITH MADE HER MOVE WITH HER PARENTS FOR A WHILE.
HAVING LEARNED FROM ONE OF THE NURSES AT THE HOSPITAL ABOUT A MAN THAT WAS IN THE SAME CAR ACCIDENT, VISITED HER NIGHTLY TO READ TO HER .
ANNA DECIDES TO FINALLY TAKE TIME AND MEET HIM TO SHOW HER GRATITUDE FOR HIS KINDNESS.
THAT TAKES HER TO THE DOORSTEP OF LEIF LARSEN A VERY HANDSOME TATTOOED MAN WITH THE MOST ENTICING SMILE, WHOM SHE FEELS AN IMMEDIATE ATTRACTION TO. THEY BECOME GOOD FRIENDS, ANNA IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE AND LEIF HAVE THE CRAZY IDEA TO ASK HER TO MOVE IN WITH HIM AND TO BE ROOMMATES.
IT WAS A GREAT READ, SEEING HOW THEY SLOWLY BUILT THEIR FRIENDSHIP AND FELL FOR EACH OTHER. ALSO SEEING ANNA TRYING TO BE BECOME THE BETTER VERSION OF HERSELF.
LEIF I LOVED HIM IN REPEAT, HE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY, CHILL, FUNNY AND VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD I LOVE HOW CARING AND UNDERSTANDING HE IS WITH ANNA.

Was it a repeat
I love Kylie Scott's work and am always waiting for new books from her. This was no exception and the moment I saw it I got it.
It was wonderful to hear Leif's story and to meet Anna.
I think Andi Arndt is a great narrator, but I kept getting confused with the story of Repeat with Ed and Clem. Someone else said the same thing and I can't help agreeing that it may have been better with a different narrator.
There were many similarities between the stories and I had to keep reminding myself that it was a different one.
Still a great listen and one I would recommend.

So-so.
This was free with the audible membership, so it was worth listening to in the background. It's a nice story, but not magical. If it was a movie, it'd be a B-grade chick flick.
The one thing I liked was main male character. He wasn't like a typical "hot guy asshole" which was a nice change.

*4 Stars*
This was an enjoyable audio. Andi Arndt does a great job bringing the story to life, and I found this easy to listen to. I liked Leif and Anna and their journey was a fun one, though it is also doused in many series issues as well. I liked their connection and the way things came together. Would recommend.
I would be interested in going back and reading or listening to the first book in this series too.

STANDOUT!!!
LOVED this unique storyline, its quite refreshing when you get a story that hasn't been beaten half to death!
The characters were some of my favorites - mature, kind, sexy and hello hello... took their time with each other, got to know each other.
How they met was everything.
This is the first audio book that I have been able to actually get in to and wanted to listen to from beginning to end in quite a while!
Most definitely worth a listen ❤

Pause
loved to watch the growth that they had using each other and the love they shared. The comedy was the friendship the mother shared with Leif. Amy enjoyed to listen to.

A TENDER HEART
I finished listening to Pause on Audible last night. I loved the story by Kylie Scott and I loved the narration by Andi Arndt. Leif and Anna were so cute together. I loved Leif's sensitive side and tender heart. I could imagine him so well by Kylie's wonderful descriptions. I wanted to reach out and run my fingers through his long hair.
I was very sorry for the story to end, but I was happy for them. ❤ And that's what it is all about isn't it 🙂
