Loving Romeo by Laura Pavlov
medium-paced
- Strong character development? Yes
5.0
My new FAVORITE book from Laura!! It’s the first in the new Magnolia Falls series and it completely captured me right into this new small town, where I quickly became invested in every character! The story is fast paced and was constantly exciting which made this one easy to read from start to finish! Just outstanding writing!!! I am SO obsessed with both the story AND audiobook narration!
🏘️Small Town
🥊Fighter Romance
🔥Enemies to Lovers
⛅️Grumpy/Sunshine
💗Good Girl/Bad Boy
💙Found Family
This book introduces you to Magnolia Falls where Romeo and Demi both grew up. They are from different sides of the tracks as Demi’s family is rich and owns most of the town while Romeo had a rough upbringing. Romeo has always had his reasons for hating her family, so when she opens a coffee shop right next to his boxing gym, he is not too happy. The story takes you through their developing connection and romance while also dealing with Demi’s family struggles and Romeo’s boxing career.
The found family in this book was just outstanding!! This series is about a group of brothers, but only two are by blood. However, they are each other’s “Ride or Die” and the bond between them is already so apparent! From their incredible texting banter that had me laughing, to the way they love and support each other, I just cannot wait to read each of their stories!! I may already have my favorites including a little Beefcake!
🎧AUDIO REVIEW:
Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor were perfectly casted for this audio narration and sounded exactly like who you’d imagine for these characters! I just found one of my new favorite audiobooks and also a new favorite narrating duo!!! They brought out all the emotion and love in this story and truly had me FEELING all the things through their voices while listening.
Connor’s voice has the perfect deep tone to it for Romeo and he truly captured the persona of a boxer with his voice. Meanwhile, Samantha’s voice is so easy to listen to with a strong yet caring tone to it which completely embodied Demi’s character. Samantha’s male voice is also spectacular and just elevates the female POV!
Connor and Samantha narrating together is my new favorite duo!!! Their voices blended together so well for this dual narration that they sounded like a real couple. It just made this story feel even more realistic while immersing you deeper into the words and characters!
