Something in the Water

By: MJ Duncan

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Professor Kate Walker is a tenured, world-renowned engineer. She has a job she loves, a daughter she adores, and friends who've been with her through thick and thin. It's a fulfilling life that doesn't really need anything—or anyone—else. Especially not a charming, downright amazing woman who happens to be twenty years her junior.

Carter Burke has lived a storied life and has the Olympic medals to prove it. She's got her dream job coaching a collegiate women's lightweight rowing team in her beloved Boston, and is happily married to the sport she's dedicated her life to. She's happy with her life and not really looking for more, but all that changes when a blonde professor with hypnotizing sea glass green eyes waltzes into her boathouse.

The Charles River has played host to countless scenes of overwhelming joy and crushing heartbreak over the years—but never quite on a scale like this. Because when hearts are involved, the stakes are infinitely higher. Carter is hooked from the moment she first lays eyes on Kate, and their chemistry is undeniable, but is that chemistry enough to help Kate push past her reservations and into Carter's arms?

Loving Kisses

For the women who understand the intimacy of a relationship full of kisses. I adore this beautiful love story. I found myself smiling throughout it and never wanting to stop listening. If only life really did imitate entertainment. This love story brings to life a perfect partner and the possibilities of a relationship that could work even when age separation is significant.
And as always, Abby Craden is masterful and every character is perfectly identifiable. This has now topped my favorites list. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Good friends, fun banter and teasing. Plus I’ll watch local rowing teams with more appreciation. Will listen to more MJ Duncan stories. Abby is always spot on.

5 Stars all around!

*having a min word amount is dumb

Yummy!

This may be my first MJ Duncan book, but it will not be my last… This book was full of all the things you love about love about falling in love about navigating love and relationship relationships. Carter and Kate‘s story is like a fairytale and was exactly what I needed. I’m a sucker for an age gap and this book satisfied that for me. Carter and Kate seem to be an unlikely couple if age was the determination but their relationship and the growth of it was incredible. The chemistry between Kate and Carter was so natural and warm. The spice level was perfect but what took my breath away were the kissing scenes… The kissing… I don’t even have words for how wonderful it read.
This book was very well written, and I cannot wait to read more from MJ Duncan. Abby Craden, the narrator did a marvelous job and I will absolutely be reading this book again.

Sweet, funny and sexy

What more could you want from a book. This book came up in my “Recommended for you” and normally I would have just added to my TBR list. However, the reviews and love this book got made me get it right away. I hope my review does the same for someone else.

Not only do you get top quality spice along with a brilliant and heartfelt love story. You also get side characters that bring witty banter and warmth to every chapter.

Kate and Carter not only have to try to weave their families, demand careers, and their friend groups together. Each step they take, you can feel the depth emotions in their relationship.

MJ is brilliant. I will definitely be reading more of this author. Narrator as always is beyond amazing with conveying each emotion whether happiness, fear, anger or desire that flows effortlessly through MJ writing.

Buy it, read it, listen to it… you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Wow! This has become my new favorite love story! Of course the narrator was amazing as always! New fan of the author as well! Such a great love story. I’m starting to like all age-gap novels!!!

Sweetest Love Story

I like how Carter and Kate navigated their relationship- the attraction was amazing and Kate’s growth in self confidence regarding the age gap was impressive. The connection was felt through the excellent narration. I enjoyed the different voices and could distinguish them well even with some compromised hearing- I will be listening to this one again-

Trust

This story showed that trust between two people regardless of the age gap can lead to a powerful relationship. Abby Craden brings all feels to the characters.

Just Wow!

Such a beautifully written story. And Abbey never disappoints withdrawing you into the characters with her voice. Who knew this is the combination that I have been waiting for! Such a an amazing story and performance.
