AUDIOBOOK REVIEW!
First off, I was gifted this audiobook and went in totally blind. I legit had no information on what the book was about, I just dove in and prayed it wasn't bad. I'm happy to report that it wasn't! The story starts with our MFC, she's at the airport running to her terminal and on the way she falls. She is so f*cking dejected that she just sat there crying (I felt her, I would have done the same thing for sure), when this beautiful, delicious, well f*cking dressed older man helps her off the floor. Throughout the book they meet in serendipitous situations. In one of those meets, he asked her to stay with him for one night, and she agrees, but immediately leaves the next day when she finds out something about our mysterious sexy as sh*t gentleman. A sh*t tons of things happen and after a few years she meets this very nice, sometimes infuriating, cocky and also f*cking delicious man, who after dating for a while, proposes and wants her to meet his family. She agrees and then all hell breaks loose..you know where I'm going with this right? I'm gonna leave it at that, because I actually do want you to listen to this book.
It was so angsty, the sexual tension between the characters was intense, the sm*t was f*cking on point and daddy Drake's dirty talk was panty melting! Heads up, it's a love triangle and one of the tropes is cheating. I am not in to the cheating trope, but will make the exception if the significant other that is being cheated on is a gigantic piece of sh*t and total a**hole. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, which make me feel horrible because you become complicit to this horrible thing! I had all of the anxiety every time something sexy happened behind the SO's back, where he could potentially walk in on them doing something! Last, I felt upset for the character on how everything was wrapped up in the end with acceptance. I would have been so p*ssed if that happened to me.
As for the performance, it was on point! Aiden Snow's voice is perfection, makes a lot of women quiver in their bodice! I've never listened to anything from Connor Hayes, butI throughly f*cking enjoyed his performance, will definitely search his catalog of other stuff he has narrated. I'm not sure what to say about Yami, her narration was good, but there were some times that her voice felt too monotone in heated situations that required more emotion. I know narrating is not easy, so this is by no means a bad review of the narrator! Anyways, throughly enjoyed this b*tch, highly recommend and can't wait to dive in to the next one. So go ahead and listen to this b*tch!
