Narrator Review: Edita Brychta did an excellent job with her narration. I had no problems distinguishing between characters. I would listen to more books she narrates.
Story Review:My favorite books are the ones that have a hero that knows what he wants and goes for it. So many books have the hero falling for the heroine and they don't realize it and even fight it to the end. While I can appreciate a book like that, for me, there is nothing better when the man fights for the woman from the start. You definitely get that with this book.
I read some reviews before starting this and there are a lot of readers who think Jesse is abusive. He's controlling and manipulative where Ava is concerned and I get that. I understand why some readers wouldn't enjoy that. I, however, like the controlling possessive men in my books. In a book, you already know going in they aren't psycho's and possibly need a restraining order. It's a book, so this allows me to not question if he is a psycho or if he just really loves a woman so much he will do anything he can to keep her in his life. Now, saying that, I couldn't help rolling my eyes every time he yelled at Ava for cussing, especially since he cusses. Yes, out of every controlling, manipulate thing he did to Ava, that was my biggest complaint.
On to Ava. I hate a spineless heroine and I'm afraid that's how she came off. Yes I like the dominant men, but I also like the woman to be just as strong. There is nothing more frustrating when a woman doesn't stand up for herself or at least communicate her issues. Most of his ridiculous behavior was her fault. Yes, I said it. She ran away with out communication. He had no idea what was going on. She didn't even have the decency to tell him she decided not to see him anymore. How many times do we flay a man for being such a coward?
So yes, I get why the reviews are all over the place but I got the one thing I love in a story so even though I have issues with some of it, it's still a 5 start read for me.
