A fun read. I can't wait for more.

If you could sum up Challenge in three words, what would they be?

Funny, Sexy, & Surprising** I have only read a handful of "sports romance" and they usually are not my thing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book.

What did you like best about this story?

It was refreshing to read a contemporary romance where the "playboy lady's man" was the first to consider exploring a relationship. I appreciated the role reversal.

I also loved The List. The List was hilarious.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I adored the duet narration style. This is only the second book I've listened to with it. It made the story flow so much better. I became invested in the characters much earlier since I didn't have to constantly adjust to different character voices depending on which narrator was reading.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could see myself listening in one sitting. Alas, life happens, and it took 3.

Any additional comments?

This was my first book by Amy Daws. Her sense of humor throughout the book was wonderful. I enjoyed the characters so much that I can't wait to find out what else she has in store for the Harris brothers!

Eternal Echoes is set in a world where human-like species have popped up all over the place. We are only introduced to a few of these nonhuman groups, but I believe most are some form of shifters. I have never come a cross a book with an octopus shifter until this one. To me, the species was more like mermen with octopus legs instead of tails while in salt water. When I read "shifter" (which I believe the book never refers to them as), I think of the person 100% changing into the second creature. Ari remains humanoid from the torso up, which is great for dialogue and saving damsels in distress. Since our leading lady is human, most of the book is NOT spent in the sea, leaving Ari in his fully humanoid form. Though I wouldn't have minded more time shifted since the author most definitely keeps this sensual romance from going into tentacle fetish territory.

So if you are looking for a great romance packed with action, adventure, and some new species, give it a read. It was very light and fun while still having danger and drama. I can't wait for the second book to come out and see what else Anastasia Virgas has in store for us.

I did have to give the narration only 3 stars, dropping the Overall score, despite loving the book so much for two reasons. The narrator was inconsistent with accents. Many of the characters are European, but their accents seem to come and go, which can be very distracting from the book's great story. The second star was a bit of a petty reason. The word "leviathan" was used many times throughout the book as one of the dangers in the new world. The narrator pronounced it in several creative ways, but not once was it pronounced correctly. Luckily, the word was not used to the extent to detract from the story.
