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.

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!

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!!!

A great listen

I first picked up Claire Kingsley's books when she co-wrote the Bootleg Springs series, so there were a number of her books I hadn't read. It has been fun working my way through her backlist, and I have especially enjoyed listening to them on audio!

Juliet and Finn had such wonderful chemistry and it really came through in the narration. I loved seeing the two of them go from fling to falling for one another.

The book is a fairly quick read/listen but nothing felt rushed nor did it feel like the relationship development was lacking. This was an entertaining and engaging read with wonderful writing and narration!

Where's my Weekend Fling?!

I adored this story. Finn is everything you want when you walk into a bar. He's sweet and fun and THAT ACCENT! Watching Juliet leaving her rigid life behind--if only for a weekend--was fun.
The writing is on point, the love is exciting.

And if I take nothing away from this book, I take away that love isn't guaranteed. Happily ever after and forever aren't guaranteed.
But you have to choose to put in the work, you have to choose that person every single day. You have to choose them--and the love you feel--every morning when you open your eyes and every night when you get into bed.
Choose them.

Enjoyable listen

I loved the voice range of the cast for this listen. They were pleasant and captured my impressions of what the characters sounded like when I read the novel.
Juliet and Finn were a pleasure to listen to and enjoy.

Claire Kingsley did it again!

oh. my. goodness. truly, I never know what I'm going to get in a Claire book, but I ALWAYS know I'm going to love it, and this was no different! and oh my GOSH the voice of Finn makes the story EPIC to listen to! Juliet is every bit as much fun to listen to! prepare yourself to love this one hard!!!

So Hot It Will Burn You If Your Not Careful!🔥🔥🔥

Claire Kingsley, is creating quite the community at Jetty Beach.
I give this five scorching Stars!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is a story of a girl who is 28 and thought her life was going as planned, until her boyfriend dumped her.
when her girlfriends take her on a trip to Jetty Beach and end up with food poisoning she meets the handsome bartender who offers to show her around.
Juliette is a planner and doesn't like surprises.
She decides to be spontaneous for once and things really start to heat up.

Finn isn't in a relationship.
he prefers to live in the present and not worry about his future.
So when he offers to show Juliette the town, he can't figure out why he can't stop thinking about her and his need to be consumed by her.

This is a fast paced love story that is so hot it will combust in your hands.

Ava Lucas, does such a great job portraying Juliette.
I love her in flections and her pace at which she reads.
She really does an awesome job with Finns character too.

As for, Richard Sawyer, you could just feel him get into the part, especially when Finn was ranting and raving to himself trying to figure out what was happening in his life.
I loved when he would use the Irish accent.

I would highly recommend this story.

Fun times

This audio was so fun! I loved Finn and Juliet. They really pulled each other out of their comfort zones. This was a first for me with these narrators and I liked them a lot

Loved

One of my favorite books in the series. I enjoyed the instant attraction that Finn and Juliet had. They were a great opposites attract story. What started out as a horrible birthday weekend turned into the best weekend of her life. I’m glad the Jetty Beach series continued beyond the initial books. The narration just added to the story. This was a reread for me.
