Desires Uncovered by Ayla Asher
4.0
Note: All of Asher’s books & audios are in KoboPlus at the time of this review.
This is book 3 in Ayla Asher’s Ardor Creek series. While this stands alone in terms of the couple's relationship, characters and events are introduced in earlier books which make these best enjoyed in order.
Asher is great at combining burgeoning relationships with serious topics. There’s angst but it isn’t over the top or needlessly drawn out. I enjoyed this no-strings lovers becomes fake engagement romance. When their "just sex" relationship threatens Mark’s run for DA, Teresa agrees to become his fiancé.
While few people in town seemed to think it was actually real, the real focus was on whether or not they would eventually become more. A lot of hurdles to overcome and honest conversations. Add in a nefarious political opponent and a family member on trial.
There was a third-act-breakup, but it was resolved quickly and I liked their HFN and the epilogue. I’m excited for Chad’s story, Resolutions Embraced as well as Justine & Gary’s book, Passions Fulfilled.
Narration:
Wonderful duet narration by Kai Kennicott & Wen Ross. They continue to do a fantastic job bringing Asher’s characters to life. Especially with all the emotions.
