The Model

Love Is Blind, Book 2

De: Harlow Layne

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais

The moment I heard Ryder’s voice, I was a goner.

As a photographer, I was used to working with beautiful people, but Ryder Williams was the most perfect male specimen who had ever stood before me. I knew without a doubt it would take no time at all for him to be the next big thing...or for him to steal my heart.

Model and photographer, we shouldn’t cross that line, but there was no stopping the passion we felt. Nothing else mattered. Not the age difference. Not that he was a client. Not even our pasts.

After my assistant caught us together, he was gone. I tried to put him out of my head, until fate threw him back into my life and my bed.

Time and time again we’re brought together; should I keep fighting or finally accept what my heart wants?

The Model is a stand-alone in the Love is Blind series. The series has crossover characters from each novel. It is not required to listen to the books in order, but it is recommended to enhance the listening experience.

Age-gap Sizzler🔥Model/Photog 📷 Some Suspense

This is my 1st book by author Harlow Layne. Listened to it as a standalone, & because Connor Crais narrates. I also enjoy a well done age-gap story, where the MMC is younger (maybe 15 years max. ?) but not irresponsible or immature. Here, Ryder is 21, & though he's just starting out as a model, he is hard working, independent, & a "good guy" who doesn't sleep around. (Despite doing exactly that after his first day working with Lexie!) Lexie is 12 yrs older & more established in her career as a photographer. Their chemistry is instant, off-the-charts, & keeps bringing them back together. Lexie is also 6 months removed from a breakup with her cheating ex-boyfriend who shows up to occaisionally harass her, thus providing the suspense element of the story. Story-wise & Overall, I liked this more than I thought I would based on the blurb.
Narration: The dual narration by Connor Crais & Lacy Laurel is well done & enjoyable. The acting is great. It would be perfect if Connor Crais narrated the entire book. Lacy Laurel's voice (esp. her male voice) often bothers me*, so I listen to her chapters at a lower volume & higher speed (1.5-1.8). The only audios I buy with her narrating, are ones with Connor Crais, too.

*note: [I'm sensitive to some voices/sounds due to chronic migraine.]

Holy Hotness! Hottest Audiobook Ever!!!

This was the hottest audiobook I have ever listened to! The audiobook was captivating, steamy and pulls you in. You don’t want to do anything but listen to this incredible book. I had read this book a while ago and loved it then. When I saw the Audi was out, I figured I would give it a listen as I’m a huge Harlow Layne fan and holy heck did I fall hard for Lexie and Ryder all over again!

The audiobook, HOLY HOTNESS!!! The audiobook was the hottest thing I have ever listened too! The guy who voiced Ryder, his voice was as smooth as velvet. He had such a deep commanding voice, it was exactly how I pictured Ryder’s voice to sound! He grabbed my attention from the minute he spoke. And Lexie or sexy Lexie as Ryder refers to her, she was such an amazing character. I love the dynamic between these two. They start off right from the beginning hot and heavy, but shocked as they aren’t normally like that. However, it showcases how their chemistry flew off the pages!!!

Harlow Layne’s writing is phenomenal! Everything she writes is pure gold! However, the chemistry that Ryder and Lexie have made for an absolutely amazing and captivating story! Listening to this book made doing chores around the house so enjoyable! We need more love stories like Ryder and Lexie, where the characters can do their own thing and yet the attraction is so strong, they keep coming back to one another! Do yourself a favor and read and listen to this book! Your ears will thank me! 😜

Fantastic story!

Talk about hitting you in the feels! This age-gap story grabbed my attention right away and I was completely engrossed in this story. It will pull on your heart strings and not let go until the very end. Lexi & Ryder had a magnetic pull to each other & fantastic chemistry. You definitely need to listen to this audiobook (or read the book if audiobooks aren’t your thing). Lacy Laurel & Connor Crais do a phenomal job bringing the characters to life! I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Adore Connor Crais

Let me preface this by saying I adore Connor Crais as a narrator and loved the story. My only complaint is the female narrator. She always sounds so annoyed. I typically skip any books she reads for but I really wanted to listen to this one. I ended up skipping all her parts and loved the story more. Great listen for a weekend work day.

Beautiful Age-Gap Story!

This is the second book in the Love is Blind Series. Lexi and Ryder’s story is sweet and sexy. This is a great age-gap story (older woman/younger man). The storyline has drama, and a little suspense. The supporting characters are great. Lacy Laurel and Connor Crais did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it.
