From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain series, Taking the Leap.

Alexandra Sharp has been crushing on her coworker John “Rix” Hendrix for years. He’s her perfect man, she knows it.

She’s just not his perfect woman, and she knows that, too.

Then Rix gives Alex a hint that maybe there’s a spark between them, that if she takes the leap, she might be able to fan into a flame. This leads to a crash and burn, and that’s all shy Alex needs to catch the hint never to take the risk again.

However, with undeniable timing, Rix’s ex, who broke his heart, and Alex’s family, who spent her lifetime breaking hers, rear their heads, gearing up to offer more drama. With the help of some matchmaking friends, Rix and Alex decide to face the onslaught together....

As a fake couple.

Great story. Sadly, the female performer has an odd pronunciation quirk that kept distracting me from the story.

Narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Female narrator does a super cringey, nasally pubescent male voice and pronounces some names weirdly (KayT when the name is Katie), but the story itself is awesome.

Love the novel

Loved this one so much. I will be listening to it again. Loved the concept and the carry-through of the book. I can not wait till I get to hear the next in the series.r

The very best of the series

KA can’t write them fast enough for me. I have every one of her books on audiobooks and have listened to most of them twice. This is another satisfying read in a another series I love. Write faster, I need more!

Another Satisfying Read
