Protective Heart

De: Brighton Walsh

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Stephanie Rose

I’ve lied to myself for years about being in love with my best friend.

Everly Bowman and I don’t make sense. She’s sunshine personified, and I hate everyone. Well, everyone but her. It’s easy to pretend like she isn’t my whole world. Or it was, until she needs a place to stay, and my apartment is her only option.

Suddenly, she's everywhere I turn. Even her scent is branded into my sheets. And thanks to our unofficial romance book club, I’ve also amassed an encyclopedia titled Everly’s Pleasure Buttons. Each week, it gets harder to ignore how much I want to make her fantasies come true. Especially when we crawl into my bed every night.

But I won’t jeopardize what we have for anything, so I’m fine lying to myself and pretending like I don’t dream of calling her mine.

At least, I was until I see her with him.

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Usually I’m more into enemies to lovers, but I think I liked this friends to lovers better than book one, and I loved book one! I loved Beck’s filthy mouth, like he was reading straight out of the books we read. He is the perfect book boyfriend, completely devoted to Everly, especially when her house and vet clinic catch fire and she needs him. Not just a place to stay, but him…his comfort, his reassurance, his ability to take charge of this situation. Beck and Everly have fighting these feeling for each other for the two years that she’s been in town for fear of messing up their friendship, but it was like the fire was the straw the broke the camels back. They couldn’t hold back anymore. It’s a little bit of a slow burn building up to it, but once it’s going, it’s freaking scorching hot, and they are literally replaying spicy scenes from their favorite books together!

And let’s talk about the narration for just a minute… Connor Crais and his deep sexy voice when he says those filthy things does things to me. Incredible job. Stephanie did an amazing job as well! I think this is the first narration of hers I’ve heard, but I’m definitely looking forward to more!

Such A Treat!!!

Protective Heart was an absolute treat to read. It was spicy. It was sexy. It was sweet. It was funny. I loved it.I simply adored the main characters. The narrators did an amazing job bringing them to life. I have to single out Connor Crais because of his voice. I am in love with his voice, It's the perfect pitch, depth and that growly, gravelly element to it *swoon* Kudos to both narrators for these characters to life in such a vivid way. I highly recommend it. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy.

Ok

Written well. Narration was excellent. Story was rather superficial. Ok, if you want something light to get over a book hangover.

Love the series ready for the next book

No dislikes. Series is awesome can’t wait for the next book in the series. Great storyline

Sweet, sexy, duet narrated

This was my 1st Brighton Walsh book.The story is sweet, sexy, and funny. There are family squabbles, oddball characters (small town) and a pet. This is a fairly quick listen (< 7 hours), but there is a bonus epilogue on the author's website (audio available, also narrated in duet). Loved that! I have added the other books in this series to my wishlist as I am curious to learn the stories of Beck's (MC) siblings. I enjoyed both narrators and Duet is the best! if you like Connor Crais, you will love his wonderful performance of Beck as he's a playful, sexy, growly, take charge, dirty-talking, adventurous, generous, hard-working, totally lovable, and loving guy.

Beck aka Mr. Dirty Talker

Whewwwww Beck had me swooning and blushing this entire book! I couldn’t put it down! The narration was absolutely perfection and honestly that last line of this book was 🤯

Uh y'all need this book

VA perfection, heart felt, and perfect smut. Flawless not notes. Just a unrated treat, Worth 2 credits

I love a good friends to lovers!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Okay, yessss!!!! This one was much better than book one!
This was hot and sweet and swoony. My three favorite things. Loved Beck and Everly so much! That man and his aftercare.. 🥵🥵 but not only that, but his beforecare (is that a word? It is now!). It was sooo good and made me instantly loved him. 💕

I’ve very excited for Ford and Quinn’s book, which is next!

Got me out of my book slump!

This book is sweet and does not have any unnecessary drama, but keeps you entertained throughout the whole book. I also think it had a great length, not too long so it didn’t drone on but not too short that it felt rushed.

Beck is obsessed with our fmc, even before they hook up he treats her like a princess and *spoiler alert* hasn’t touched another girl since he met her.

Everly is sweet and kind and refused to let Beck push her away. Her oblivious nature is so endearing but when she wants something, she goes after it.

There’s a debate within my own mind on what was best about this book. The grand gesture at the end, the fact that there was no 3rd act breakup or the spice! Man can Beck win an award for dirty talking. Or maybe the dog!!! Get ready to swoon over how Beck treats her dog 😍😍

I loved this book so much. It got me out of a book slump and while I feel it wasn’t crazy over the top it was so cute and refreshing to see two characters treat each other like gold and actually communicate!

I also love how each sibling in this family gets touched on, we get to see a progress update on the couple from the last book in the series and a preview into future book couples.

5/5 will always recommend! Narration was amazing as well. Connor Crais’s voice during the spicy scenes was 🔥🔥

awesome book

I really enjoyed the book and the narrators did a great job. I love deut narration.
