This is my first time listening to the work of Kimberly Brown and it was a really good story. Jaime Lincoln Smith and J. Shani Michaels really did this entertaining romance justice.
I chuckled a lot throughout the story because Sully and Audrey had really amusing banter.
Audrey was a serial dater and dumped men at any perceived red flags which her friends affectionally dubbed the expiration date. Audrey was content until she met Sullivan "Sully" who wasn't intimidated by how she discarded men. Sully was fine being a hook up thing even though he clearly wanted more. He practiced patience and understanding while he challenged her to confront and work through issues instead of running from relationship to relationship.
This audiobook made me smile, laugh and look over my shoulder to make sure no one could hear the sex scenes because Sully and Audrey were getting it in!
I will say that Sully's brother Emmanuel was a scene stealer. He was hilarious, a player but a loyal and loving twin brother. He added some levity to certain situations that were emotional and tense.
This story had all the things I enjoy in a good romance, so I definitely plan to read more of this author.
