Boone meets Lilly when he was visiting her brother, Aiden, in the hospital. Their love story is cute and I love how supportive of each other they are. I am not going to spoil anything, but I can tell you that for me personally this was a hard read. I barely got to the end of it. Do I regret reading it? No! Do I recommend it? Yes, if you like sensitive stories, this is an awesome book! Go to the bookstore and grab that copy!
Boone’s story was hard for me to read. It confirmed me that I’m a rom-com girl. I cannot handle the sad stories. It’s too much for me. But in the same time I loved it, even though I was scared of how the story would end.

I have tried for days to put into words how emotional this story was to read. Boone is a fantastic character. He says the most wonderful things. Frequently, his actions speak louder than words. He gets involved with Lily after meeting her through her brother. She is one lucky lady.
There is much beauty in Boone. There is also deep sadness. Grab the tissues. Then grab some more. You will need them. Two days after finishing, I haven't been able to start another book. My heart still bleeds.

Boone
Pittsburgh Titans #10
By Sawyer Bennett
Narrated by Jeremy York, Stella Hunter
I don't even know where to start my review for this one. It has touched my heart and won't let go. This is the best way I know to start a year out, my first book and it was incredible. Emotionally wiped out, but also amazingly happy this book has it all. Boone uses his fame for good. Always looking for a way to help others, he frequents the children's hospital, where he meets Aiden. This young boy has been fighting for his life, and if Boone can make his day a bit brighter, he is all in. He meets Aiden's sister, Lilly who is Aiden's biggest cheerleader, and trying to hold the family and their business together. Boone takes a liking to her, and as time goes on, his feelings become evident. But is she in a place in her life where he can fit? This story is packed with so many emotions, and the kind that would not let me stop listening. Boone is an amazing man, and helps Lilly, her dad and Aiden in ways that only a man in love could do. Lilly is so strong, and I could feel her struggle as she made life decisions. And Aiden, what a strong, young/old soul. He shines through it all with wisdom and caring like only a brother could have. This is such an emotional listen, and I don't cry...ever. But the kleenex was out, and I was going through it. It's one of the best of Sawyer Bennett's career and I absolutely loved it.
Jeremy York and Stella Hunter could not have been better suited to this story. It's like their voices were telling the story to Bennett and she could hear it. York is a voice that is full of warmth and easy to hear emotions. He lends a blanket of hope and love with his tones and made Boone incredibly real. Hunter is amazing when it comes to storytelling, and she dives in full force with every feeling, making my heart hurt and sing all in the same story. They were wonderful and this performance will stick with me for a long time.
