Entice by Ava Harrison
5.0

Ava Harrison, what have you done to me? Including so many of my favorite subgenres in one book and then have it narrated by an amazing team!!!! This book has so much in it. First a taboo age difference, then his best friend's daughter. Add in a slow burn, and a build of passion that just set the book on fire and I just couldn't stop listening! 8 years have gone by since River has seen her crush, Grayson. He was the one person who gave her solace when her mother dropped her on her father's doorstep. Now grown up, and seeing him again, her feelings haven't changed, and the attraction between the two is impossible to ignore. And their story begins. Now I can tell you, there is some meat to this book. It's not all fluff and romance. Ava masterfully weaves a thread in this book, giving us a real look at River, her past, why she is who she is and how things in her life were manipulated. It's emotional, and gives a real understanding to all the characters. And I don't want to miss saying how much I loved Gray's brother Jackson. He gave that humor in times of trouble, but is steadfast in his loyalty. I love Ava's style of writing, always giving me a little of everything I need to enjoy a story.

The narration is impeccable. Sebastian York is perfect as the broody, Grayson. He gives him all the characteristics that make us frustrated with him just with his voice, but can't help but fall in love with him. Virginia Rose as River...the best casting ever! She is River, giving her that free spirit with the underlying hurt and unending amount of love. It's a fantastic casting and the performance amazing.
