Book One

I loved this book! It brought real life struggles out in the open and didn't dance around the fact that couples have issues, too.

Melanie James did a fantastic job writing this, and I enjoyed the narrator, Hollie Jackson, very much! Can't wait to listen to the next one!

Refreshing

I really enjoyed this listen, narrator did a great job.
What I liked about the story was it wasn’t the usual, it was a rekindling of love that was on the back burner so to speak, how life can get so busy and you refund who and what is important to each other

Short but defintely not sweet, more like SPICY!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, definitely! This is a story that many of my friends can definitely relate to and appreciate listening to.

What other book might you compare Ava & Will to and why?

Actually I can't because this is the first time me listening to a book about a married couple and their issues, however, it will not be the last! I want to listen to the rest of the books in this series!

Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I listened to the Literal Leigh box set. Hollie Jackson has hit another home run! I love her reading books!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did both because I can relate to the problems that Ava and Will experienced!

Any additional comments?

I love Melanie James's books and how Hollie Jackson reads them! I am a definite fan of both and hope they continue!

How can she fix this?

Ava is feeling sorry for herself because her husband, Will, is ignoring her for his work, hence no romance. She seeks and gets some good ideas/advice from her friends on Eveiller Drive and comes up with excellent plan. The plan involves a seduction and steamy sex that joins the couple back together, again and again... ;-)

Enjoyable!!

This was my first book by Melanie James and enjoyed Ava and Will’s short story! Although they were challenged by work restraints and their growing family, the core of their relationship remained strong, loving and intact! It was refreshing to see a group of women who supported one another without cattiness and tearing down one another! Hollie Jackson did a wonderful job narrating!
