We Own Tonight by Corinne Michaels
3.0
I listened to this book via Audible Escapes. The narration was decent, but I wish Zachary Webber had been able to read more of the male parts. It kind of took me out of the moment because there were times when I expected to hear his voice and I didn't.
The first part of the story was fun, lighthearted, and humorous. Even with Heather's sister being ill, the story managed to stay fairly upbeat. I was expecting that sad moment, it arrived, and the story moved on.I
I liked Eli and Heather together. He was a great guy for her, especially after what happened with her ex-husband. I am not deep into sad, angsty books. Life can be sad and angsty enough on its own. This book had an unexpected twist that made it sad and angsty. I admit, it attempted to continue to be uplifting. I just didn't want that much reality thrown at me in one book.
I am glad Eli and Heather got their HEA, but because of the added twist, it took me out of the lighthearted, romantic mood. Not to say that it was not a decent book. It wasn't what I was looking for at the time. Between the angst and the narration, it became an ok book for me decent.
The first book I read in the series was actually the 4th. That book made me want to read the rest. After reading this book, I'm hesitant to read the rest. I read romance for the respite from everyday life. This book was not that respite.
