4.0

[Audiobook Review]
Overall: ☆☆☆☆
Performance: ☆☆☆☆☆
Story: ☆☆☆☆

Lucy didn’t mean to break Tanner King’s heart. Every time she runs into him since they broke up he looks like he hates her. She thought she could deal with his resentment, but when he starts working at the desk across from hers, she knows they need a truce. Problem is there's this one thing that's threatening the fragile peace they've negotiated: all the inconvenient feelings she apparently still has for him.

This is the second book of Susannah Nix's King Family series and I found myself giggling at Lucy's personality. She is straight up adorable. Tanner is a down to earth guy who is determined to forge his own way in life, rather than continue to feel pressured by his father to stay within the family business.

Lucy and Tanner are soul mates; both of which grow a lot in this coming of age novel. Together they make great strides in overcoming the deep rooted insecurities their parent(s) unknowingly ingrained into them. As with the other two books, the narrators were perfectly suited to portray their characters. Chris Brinkley, for the young, lost but thoughtful and ingenious Tanner, and Amanda Stribling as the cute cheerleader-like personality of Lucy.

While second chance romances aren't usually my thing I wasn't disappointed one bit with everything else going on amongst the King siblings and supportive friends. I look forward to learning more about them all. I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
