Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.0
Audiobook Review
Overall 3.5 stars
Performance 4 stars
Story 3 stars
Not my favorite Tessa Dare, but an entertaining and sexy brother’s best friend romance. I liked Lucy and Jeremy and things were going well for me until around the halfway point. Then things shifted from a fake dating-ish/“I thought I loved someone else but it’s actually you” story, to a “we’re both idiots who assume things and get everything wrong”. Throw in some heavy baggage and childhood trauma and things started to go downhill. The second half of the book dragged as these two had misunderstanding after misunderstanding. The book really could have been quite a bit shorter. I did enjoy the end though and the epilogue sets the stage for Sophia’s book.
The narration by Gabrielle Baker was enjoyable and she voiced Lucy and Jeremy very well. I wish there had been a bit more variation between characters though.
