Unloved

The Unlucky Ones

De: Marley Valentine

Narrado por: Zachary Johnson, Michael Gallagher, J.F. Harding

We longed. We lost. We loved. Desperately.

I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again.

I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn't expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love.

Especially not with two men.

Rough-edged puzzle pieces, Rhys, Samuel, and I were nothing but aching memories, painful realities, and hidden scars.

We were products of our pasts, abandoned and unloved, messy and complicated. Individually we had baggage; together we had mountains to climb.

But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them.

We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love.

And who knows, maybe I finally did too.

That was a good book.

Coming off a string of bad or mediocre books makes me appreciate good writing even more. I want to know more about all the characters we have met in this world, the ones who have books and the ones who maybe don’t yet. I feel attached to these fictional people and want to see them happy and thriving.
I also found myself appreciating the craft that is Marley’s writing, the way she told the story, the style of it. I enjoyed the device weaving throughout and bookending the story. That will mean something to you after you read or listen.

My only complaint is about the narration, and it is a small gripe. These are all very good voice actors and names I am happy to see when I’m shopping my next listen. No shade to any of them. Their performances were spot on. The problem is that their voices are quite similar. I find it easier to delineate characters when there is more contrast between voices. Especially in this case, with duet narration for the mains, but the same three voicing all the side characters. I found myself sometimes having to think about whose voice was speaking. If I’m the only one, that’s a me problem, but if others feel the same, it might be a consideration for future casting decisions.

Don’t let that put you off grabbing this book. It is well worth your time.

Great story

following the up/downs of 3 men lifes. they bond together when they realized they need each other

Wonderful story, wonderful performance

Take 3 of my favorite male narrators and have them perform in duet a title from a very talented author like Marley and you get perfection. I'm sure it's an amazing experience to find love with 1 other person....If you can find it with 2...take it and hold on!

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

Beautifuly written MMM

This book was my first MMM romance I wasn’t sure about it in the beginning, but Marley Valentine’s writing was so elegant so so beautiful I loved each character in this book main side, also the three amazing narrators did such an amazing job to complete this book.

Good story, fantastic narrators

This was a very good story, but it was the narration that made it great. Well worth the credit to listen!
