Weekend Fling

A Jetty Beach Romance, Book 5

De: Claire Kingsley

Narrado por: Ava Lucas, Richard Sawyer

It’s just a fling. Or is it?

Juliet Blake shows up at my bar, dejected after her surprise girls’ weekend goes bad. So I do the usual—mix her a drink and listen to her troubles. I’m a spontaneous guy, so I offer to help—spend the rest of the weekend with her, so she’s not alone on her birthday. I don’t expect her to end up in my bed, but when she does, it’s mind-blowing. And after a smoking hot weekend together, I realize I could use a little more Juliet in my life. See her again? Sure. But it’s still just a fling. I have my reasons. My heart can’t take more.

Sexy bartender Finn O’Conner thinks he has the solution to my troubles. Birthday weekend gone bad? Nothing a nice drink and some hot eye candy can’t solve. And Finn is all kinds of hot. Spending the weekend with him is impulsive—so unlike me. But throwing off my planner tendencies feels amazing—as does Finn. I’m not supposed to fall for him. He doesn’t believe in forever. But as our weekend fling turns into a whirlwind romance, my heart will never be the same.

This audio was absolute music to my ears!!!!

I was familiar with Ava Lucas and she nailed Juliet. What I wasn't prepared for was the greatness that is Richard Sawyer and that Irish accent of his. This is the first time I have heard him and my ears are definitely thanking me. I cannot imagine anyone else as Finn.

It has been two years since I read this book and I forgot how much I loved Juliet and Finn's story. There are very few things sexier than an Irish pub owner!!!

Juliet and her friends are in Jetty Beach for a weekend getaway and while her friends are at the cabin sick she ventures out into Finn's pub and there is an immediate connection. The pull is undeniable between them and soon they find themselves spending so much time together and their feelings just get stronger and stronger for each other. Juliet wants to be married one day and Finn has hesitations when it comes to marriage. Of course this is a book written by the wonderful Claire Kingsley so she doesn't make things easy for them but she definitely ends with a fantastic HEA!!!

Finn... oh just love him

I read this book first and was super excited for it to come out on Audible. I love the sweet simplicity that is this series!! Finn is one of my favorite characters. Juliette is an okay character for me. I loved her when I read her. but for some reason I wasn't a fan of Juliette when Ava Lucas narrated. I like Ava Lucas as a female. but when she does multiple characters and her male character voice comes in she drives me bonkers. Richard Sawyer totally kicked ass. I loved him!!

Instalust Magic!

I mean who doesn't LOVE a good Irish accent and man did Richard come thru on that. Ava is the perfect Juliet she really acts the part where you can close your eyes and see the book come to life!
Juliet aka Sprinkles aka Type A personality planner is sprung on a quick girls weekend after a breakup and its her birthday! When she randomly meets a Irish fella in his own bar, he ends up with some photos of her, they get to talking and as the nice gentleman takes her out for her birthday. What about her friends? Well guess you have to read/listen to find out! I love The Jetty Beach Series these are great non- angst stories!

Juliet and Finn - opposites attract, fling

Excellent narration!

Finn O'Conner doesn't think he'll ever get married. He lives for today and believes spontaneity is the best kind of fun.

Juliet Blake's best friends surprise her with a weekend trip to Jetty Beach for her birthday. Since Juliet is a planner to the nth degree, she's not a fan of surprises. Once they arrive and they give her the first gift, she decides she's going to step out of her comfort zone and try to have fun in the moment.

When Madison and Becca get sick, Juliet goes out to have a drink and tells the bartender (Finn) how things have not gone according to plan so far. Finn offers to show Juliet around, and they wind up having a lot more fun than either of them ever expected.

This is definitely a case of opposites attract, once they both come to terms with the fact that both of their beliefs/opinions about forever actually do have some flexibility if they allow themselves time to learn more about the other.

Sweet Scale: 4/5
Spicy Scale: 3/5

Oh my that accent!

Amazing audio!! That Irish accent Richard Sawyer is awesome, it added so much to the book. Another must listen!
