Under the Stars

Cottonwood Cove Series, Book 2

De: Laura Pavlov

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Tor Thom

My new assistant is all smiles and sunshine—and she’s about to set fire to my cold, grumpy heart.

I've moved to this god-forsaken small town to run the family business. I need to hire a new PA, and the pickings are slim. Some say my irrational expectations are the reason I've gone through assistants quicker than most people refill their coffee. Incompetence is my pet peeve. If that makes me irrational, so be it.

Then, Georgia Reynolds walks into my office. Blonde hair. Sapphire eyes. And a smart mouth that irritates me as much as it turns me on.

On top of being a rock star at her job, she is a ray of freaking sunshine on steroids. I have no patience for it. Nor for the way she flutters around the office like a modern-day Tinkerbell.

She has ridiculous taste in music. Drives an unreasonable form of transportation. And did I mention that I caught her dancing in my closet when I sent her on a simple errand?

My new assistant has somehow become my kryptonite. But I am her boss, and I am not going to be a pathetic cliché. It doesn’t matter that my cold, jaded heart has started beating again. In my world, a beating heart makes you weak. And I do not tolerate weaknesses.

Waiting for the shoe to drop ….

Maddox and Georgia (her brother is Hugh in the last book
Not a huge fan of the male narrator 😬
But the story is cute
Some lol moments, love this girls honesty and how open her family is
Spice isn’t major 🤷🏼‍♀️ (mild spice like dirty talking

Almost waiting for the shoe to drop and something to happen

I love how he took charge of what he wanted and made it happen so they could date and he told her he loved her first

Accident on the ice:
He saved her life was there for her every min and then when she woke from her coma he was gone. He was scared to care that much and possibly loose someone.
He came back to her and it was a HEA but I was disappointed on how fast the coma and her waking up and all that happen. It was quick.

Great story and narration!!!

This is the ultimate grumpy sunshine workplace romance. Georgia is such a ray of sunshine, even taking the theft of her car with a semi-smile. In an attempt to make enough money to rectify her car and living situation (can’t stay with brother forever) she’s off to interview as a personal assistant. Maddox is the ultra broody CEO of a publishing company and is seemingly mad at the world after a childhood trauma changed his outlook on family and life in general. These two are made for each other and it’s clear from the start. The banter between the two is super entertaining, especially as I listened to this on audio. The dual narration is great and I can honestly say, my heart skipped a beat every time Tor Thom popped in my ear introducing his chapter. Andi Arndt is one of my all-time favorite female narrators and she was on point here. This book was so good and I loved the angsty feel. They’re just the right touch of drama at the end, just when it felt like things were wrapping up, which was a pleasant surprise and added lots of depth to the story and their relationship.

🎧 Audiobook Review🎧

Under the Stars by Laura Pavlov is the second book in the Cottonwood Cove Series.

Narrated by Andi Arndt and Tor Thom

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶

Dual POV
Office romance
Small town
Grumpy/sunshine

I fell in love with this book and the the whole Reynolds family. Andi and Tor brought both Georgia and Maddox to life they filled the grumpy sunshine so well. From the growly possessive bossman to the caring compassionate positive tink.

I enjoyed the characters growth and working through past traumas. I didn’t expect the emotional impact that would hit but Laura made me fall for them both! They had explosive chemistry, banter, dirty talk, and spice, this is a book you will not put down and I highly recommend!

“I’m always looking at you. Even with all the stars out at night, I don’t want to look anywhere else. Because I have everything I need. Everything I want. It’s right in front of me.”

I was provided an audio copy of Under the Stars and this is my honest review.
