Kami and Len

I thought that the name of this book is very long but it was a fun listen. There were also some funny parts to the story.

Amanda Stribling did a good job with the narration. I could easily tell who was speaking. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I want my time and credit back

That. Was. Painful

Truly the most agonizing audiobook experience I’ve ever struggled through. The story was so utterly stupid. I bought and listened to it because I’m a skydiver and wanted to hear how the skydiving experiences were portrayed. It was all beyond laughable. It started funny (laughably bad, not as intended), and it just got increasingly more cringeworthy and painful to endure. I’m definitely returning this. Awful.

You get exactly what you expect to get from this cute easy Rom-Com. It was an adorable story and a light hearted listen.

The narrator did a great job keeping this light and upbeat.

Fun story

This is a fun story to listen to! I enjoyed it very much. Many laugh out loud moments.
Len encourages Kami out of her comfort zone. From sky diving and skinny dipping to other things in-between. Everything they do is posted on social media to show friends and especially her ex. During all their escapades, Kami's self-confidence develops along with their romance.
Amanda Stribling narration is wonderful. She made it a joy to listen. Very entertaining and giving each character their own voices and personality. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.

Hallmark Movie in the Making

Sarah Zolton Arthur did a great job, it was fun and romantic, just as expected. Amanda Stribling also made Kami POP, from scardy cat to jumping out of a plain. It was a amazing to see what she was really made of, just needed a little push. Perfect for a rainy day listening or just when in the mood for something happy. Will be on my repeat listening list.

Exhilarating, Hilarious and Steamy Romance!

I had so much fun listening to this exhilarating, hilarious and steamy romance! It was refreshing, and quirky, and had so much heart. Kami and Len make such a perfect couple. They encourage and support one another through all these crazy adventures. I loved the banter, Kami's inner dialogues, and a story-line that held surprises right to the very end. Amanda Stribling did a great job bringing this story to life. She was so perfect as Kami, but her other voices were distinct and dynamic as well. She was very easy to listen to, making this quirky, heartfelt romance even more fun and exciting.

Great Funny Read

Skydiving, Skinny-Dipping & Other Ways to Enjoy Your Fake Boyfriend was a great read by Sarah Zolton Arthur. I absolutely loved reading Kami and Len’s story. Kami is looking for any way that she can to get her mojo back. She is looking to try new things and not be so scared of everything. She also wants to document everything on social media so that all of her old friends and ex can see what she is up to. She doesn’t want to fall in love and didn’t think that she would when she asked Len to be her fake boyfriend. I really enjoyed listening to this funny book and can’t wait to read more by Sarah Zolton Arthur. Amanda Stribling did a great job of narrating the characters and helping you fall in love with them.

Loved it

I truly enjoyed listening to Len and Kami's story. The narrator did a great job bringing them to life and distinguishing between the voices. The plot is well written and flows nicely. The laugh out loud moments are great, and even the sad moments have so much warmth to them. You really get to understand how each brought them to this point in their lives. This was my first book by this author, but it won't be my last.

Fun and enjoyable

Did the Audiobook meet your expectations?
I am not sure what I was expecting for this book. I thought it would be like other fake boyfriend books where they conveniently pretend to be together, fall in love (but are too afraid to admit it), realize that they are meant to be together.
This book though takes you on a ride of self-discovery and even after tragic events from the past, you can look forward and learn to live and enjoy your life.

How did the story make you feel?
This was an exciting book, fun and enjoyable. When Kami learns to face her fears and take leaps you are in the moment with her.

Did the narrator make it easy to follow the story?
Amanda Stirbling has done a fantastic job with making the book very easy to follow.

Did you find the narrator’s voice fitting for the main protagonists(s)?
Very fitting for the story, you can easily follow when she is voicing each character.

Do you recommend this audiobook and will you pick up more?
I definitely recommend this book. It is fun, has a little heartache and leave you feeling satisfied in the end. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more work from Sarah and Amanda and hopefully more from the Adventures in Love Series.

I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Fake Boyfriend the Adventure Skydiving.

Loved listening to the audiobook, the story was well written and the characters are intriguing. Camie was dumped by her boyfriend and then dumped by a skydiving instructor so she went to the pub to drink her sorrows away. The story was funny, sade, fun, loving, sexy and passionate. It is so worth buying the book or audiobook.
The narrator was clearly spoken and easy to understand.

Great, light hearted listen

I was given a free copy of the audio version of this story in return for an honest review and here it is! This was a fun, light hearted read which I loved listening to. It told the story of a girl who has to face many challenges, many of them very funny. The narrator told the story beautifully. I would recommend this for a great holiday read. I will look out for more by this author!

Conquer your fears

This is a great book about facing your fears head on and seeing what you thought you wanted wasn't really what you needed after all and a "fake" boyfriend can be the best kind.

Lennon encourages Kami to face her fears and live. He has an ulterior motive though, he actually has wanted Kami for some time but knew she would bolt if he let her know how he really felt so he gets her by letting her think this is a show and they are really a "fake" couple. Kami finally sees the light and enjoys life with Len.

Amanda Stribling did a great job narrating this book. Her voice is so pleasant to listen to and she was great with all characters. I really enjoyed listening to her.

I won a code to listen and review if I wanted. I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

Fearless Kami!

I LOVED everything about this story! When I first saw this book, I almost didn't bother because I didn't think it would be something I would like based on the cover and the name of the book but I am so glad I gave it a chance. Obviously, you can't always judge a book by its cover. This book was just so much fun to listen to. I loved Kami and Lennon and their relationship. Lennon was the perfect boyfriend -- fake or not! Kami transformed herself from fearful to fearless with the help of Lennon and their exciting adventures.

Amanda Stribling did an amazing job bringing this story to life. She brought out all the various emotions and personalities of the characters with perfection. Her male voice is pretty hot or maybe it's just because I loved Lennon so much. I guess I'll have to listen to other books she has narrated to know for sure!

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun romance with low angst and super lovable characters. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

So many feels

This one was fantastic the story dealt with some very hard topics like finding who you are after a loss and cheating and betrayal. But the overall book was so light and fun that it wasn’t bogged down. A really fun and enjoyable listen

What a fabulous story

Skydiving, Skinny-Dipping and Other Ways to Enjoy Your Fake Boyfriend was my first novel by Sarah Zolton Arthur and I loved it. This tale was well-written and entertaining, fast-paced and adventurous with a twist I did not see coming. It was unique and had me hooked from beginning to end.
I loved how Lennon was supportive of Kami and helped her overcome her fears. I loved Kami. Her fears were real yet she was willing to step out of her comfort zone and I was cheering her on all the way. These two had great chemistry together and I loved seeing how their relationship progressed from fake to real. What a fantastic story. I would highly recommend it to all lovers of Romantic Comedies.
I listened to the audible version of this novel which was narrated by Amanda Stribling. She was absolutely perfect for this story, infusing humor and personality into the characters and she really brought the story to life. I enjoyed listening to her narration of this story.

Take on the world!

Did you ever need that little push to get you outside your comfort zone? All it takes it hearing your ex is engaged and a new man to give you the edge! Kami finds out about her ex and decides that she will now take charge of her life and make it more interesting! But she finds it's not so easy. Lennon comes to her aid and tells her he will help her out as her fake boyfriend and put up all their escapades on social media, letting her ex know just what he lost. But what neither of these two realize is the impact this plan will have. What a story! Sarah Zolton Arthur infuses humor and passion into an adventure so worth taking. Kami is a great character. I love her realness, that sense of fear she has until she steps out and learns to enjoy that being uncomfortable just may be what she needs. Lennon is more than helpful with her rejuvenation, but he holds a secret that can destroy them both. I loved the twists, the ways to enjoy your fake boyfriend and the great time on Instagram!

Amanda Stribling gives this story her wonderful voice. Amazing with her comedic timing, she gives this story a little push with the narration, adding a depth to Kami and a warmth to Lennon. I really enjoyed her performance.
