The Evolution of Man

By: Skye Warren

Narrated by: Erin Mallon

Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

Ambitious. Intense. Irresistible.

I never wanted to fall for a man. And definitely not two men.

They tear me apart until I don't know how I'll ever be whole again. Until I'm not sure I want to be. How can I choose between two halves of myself?

The Evolution of Man is the second novel in the USA Today best-selling duet, which begins with Survival of the Richest.

Rising from the Rubble

I had no idea where this one was going to go but I had so much fun getting there. This duet was like my favorite addictive reality show. (If you’re thinking I’m too sophisticated for reality tv, girl same I meant chess. But if there is a real housewives of Tanglewood I’m going to devour it.)

There is angst, mind games, buckets of money, power struggles, love triangles, art and civic responsibility (see those last two, I told you it was sophisticated ;) It had me guessing right up till the end.

I can’t wait to revisit this world and these characters. Erin Mallon is a dream narrator and Skye Warren slays the game.

I would recommend this to fans of reality tv and Greek mythology.

Confusing Conclusion to the Duet

Overall 2.5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 2 stars

When I finished Survival of the Richest, I couldn't wait to dive into this book and find out how Harper, Christopher, and Sutton's story would end. Sadly, I found the conclusion to this duet disappointing.

The story and drama were emotional, but so drawn out. It became repetitive, with all the back and forth and pushing away. I didn't understand what was actually happening a lot of the time and I kept waiting for a big reveal/explanation for all the pain and madness. Unfortunately, it never came. A surprise in the love triangle was also dropped on listeners/readers, but never really explored or resolved. It just made my heart hurt so much for that individual. There were certainly some very steamy scenes, but they couldn't make up for the confusing plot. The ending felt rushed and left me with more questions than answers. Erin Mallon was the only reason I was able to continue on with the story. Her narration was amazing and she conveyed so much feeling in her performance. Both her male and female voices were perfect. I really wanted to love this duet, but sadly this conclusion was a miss for me.

3.75 stars

After the ending I have to say I have so many questions. It felt sort of unresolved. There was so much time spent pushing each other away that when they are finally together I didn't connect with their relationship. One person's truth was just put out there and no further explanation or conversation was had. These are the reasons I couldn't rate the story higher. The parts I loved ironically was the parts with her mom which were actually quite sad. Overall 3.75 because I did enjoy the book, I just needed more of them together.

Narration was 4 stars. Erin Mallon does a great male voice.

Good book!

This story was just okay for me. Definitely steamy and emotional but in between it didn’t quite grab me.
Although my favorite narration by Erin Mallon are usually RomComs, her narration in this book was absolutely amazing.

Disappointing end to duet

2.5 stars. The first book was so good I was looking forward to this one but I was very disappointed. It was slow and drawn out in some areas and rushed in others. The ending was so rushed and unsatisfying. I was left with so many questions and some things just felt thrown in for drama. There's side character plots that were never resolved. I did love the emotion of Harper's mom.
This book if forgettable, which is unfortunate after such a strong first book.

The audio version is perfectly narrated by Erin Mallon again. Once again, I loved her performance.

Oh Man! What an ending! This book ran me through the ringer and I am not even mad~ These characters.. I want to hold them... I want to yell at them... I want to be them!. Ok, not really but this book brought me so far in that i feel like i really know them and am completely invested in the outcome. This series is one of the best i have read in some time. Soo many feelings... I love that the characters were not perfect. They were all flawed in their own way and that just endeared them to me.

If you don't see a huge READ ME sign flashing here, use your imagination. You need to read this series.

Erin Mallon absolutely owed this book! She gave an amazing performance that made this amazing book that much better. I don't know what else to say. It was perfection

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Needed more

Again based off the other book I thought it would be wayyyyyy more. It just seemed like there was a need to keep the set at 2 books. It was as though a lot in between was missing. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Disappointed

After the first book, I expected more. I agree with she ended up with. It was too cold and unrealistic to have that ending!

Enjoyed but disappointed

I’m a huge fan and enjoyed Harper’s story except for Sutton’s disappointing ending. I loved the three some story and thought of all the characters regarding Tanglewood’s residents or characters, she would be able to handle both men that love her and would love each other. I hope Sutton gets a happily ever after.

Fabulous!

This audiobook was fabulous! Skye Warren has such an amazing writing style. It was so easy to listen to and it kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I'm not usually a huge fan of romancey type novels. And this... there was so much more to this than your normal romance. I am def a big fan! I actually listened to this one a while ago, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. But somehow my review disappeared, or probably more like I forgot to hit the submit button lol. But I would definitely love to read more from Skye and the narration was PHENOMENAL. I highly recommend these books!

This book was given to me at my request. (Thank you Audiobook Obsession). I am providing a voluntary and honest review.

Quite the evolution 🔥

Erin absolutely owns this love triangle. Her narration is flawless.

What an ending to this sexy trio’s story😍

Gut Wrenching in the Best Way Possible

This ending was an emotional roller coaster ride to the Trust Fund Duet! Six months after Survival of the Richest, Christopher, Harper, and Sutton are still stuck in this love triangle. The journey that they all went on was devastating and a beautiful mess, but the message was uplifting and incredible. Harper finally figures out who she is, what she wants, and who she needs to be with. I don’t think I was prepared for all of these emotions, but I loved every minute of the gut wrenching ending! This book was filled with angst, heartbreak, truth, lies, secrets, steam, and so much more.
Erin did a phenomenal job with this narration! She brought every emotion and character to life and wouldn’t let me go with her performance. I was so invested in this book and didn’t want it to end.

One of the best!

I couldn't wait to devour this book. The first left me wanting--no NEEDING--more and so this book couldn't happen fast enough. The narration, the story, the twists and turns are all perfection.

You want to know why Harper feels the way she feels. You want to know the allure, the draw, the desire.

Skye Warren nailed this duet.

EXPLOSIVE! MIND BLOWING!

Skye Warren knocked it out the ballpark with Part 2: The Evolution of the Man. I couldn't sit this one down until I listened to the very end.

Everything played right before my eyes. I could see it, everything that was described, to the smallest detail came to life.

The steamy sexual scenes; WOW, it was HOT, I'm serious. The heat jumped through my speakers and I could feel it.

And, there was one event I did cry, so there is a moment of possible tearjerker. In this novel Harper had to grow up. Her biggest lesson would be; "Who could she trust, Christopher or Sutton?" You have to know eventually there could only be one way for this to have an HEA.

The narrator Erin Mallon who narrated the first book; "Survival of the Richest," also narrated this one and again she did an AWESOME job so, 5-stars to her. Skye, if I could I would have given your writing more than 5-stars. You're an incredible writer and this book proves it. I recommend it to anyone who loves steamy romance, alpha men and strong women to listen to this.

Great Listen

This emotional rollercoaster ride was nonstop and I didn't want it to end. You don't know which team to root for, Christopher or Sutton. Harper is so emotional and with everything that is going on with her mother, she is all over the place. This story will leave you satisfied but wanting more.

The Evolution of Man

This book starts not too far after where the first in this series ended. In this book Harper learns some very important life lessons as well as surviving one of the most difficult things a person could. It is such a struggle to watch the pain that these three go through, but this duet ends with the perfect ending. I loved this series. Both author and narrator went above and beyond what I could have hoped for and then some.

Wow! Trust Fund Duet Book 2

The Evolution of Man by Skye Warren is another intense listen. I loved how this book continued where Survival of the Richest left off. I was blown away by the story. This is a steamy drama featuring Harper, Christopher, and Sutton. I really enjoyed the battle of the past, present and future. Who will Harper pick? The love triangle is so good. The story has sexy times, angst, and twists. Erin Mallon is magnificent in her performance. The emotions she conveys are so realistic, one can feel them. Thank you Audiobook Obsession for this book! I loved it.

Who will be the chosen one...

As the story goes on on the Evolution of Man, there is still that tough choice to make. It does get rather steamy and the drama intensifies. I like Skye writing, she does it like a pro at romance. It’s gritty and not for the faint of heart. I did like the end, but I wanted more. Maybe there’s another book on the way, perhaps a novella? Anyways, great narration too.

Evolution of Man

3.5 stars for the story. 4 stars for the narration.
I thought this was a good continuation of the story and could still feel angst between and her two men. While I did love the choice made at the end some questions were left unanswered. Would have loved an epilogue. Overall I enjoyed the story.
Great narration again

#AudiobookObesession review

A feast of a book!

Skye Warren always brings such intensity to every book she writes, through rich plotting and well drawn characters. There is so much emotion here, not just from the relationship between Harper, Christopher and Sutton (and such sexy times!!), but from the heart stretching illness of Harper's mother.
Erin Mallon is an amazing narrator and she brings immense feeling to the narrative from start to finish. The story is an unforgettable one and the end brings resolution, though, being a greedy reader/listener, I would have liked just. a bit more ....another Oliver moment 💖💖
