Makes me want to change my name to Luca!!

Revisado: 11-23-19

This story is amazing. I love how Griffin and Luca really know each other before they meet. I love how Griffin is just a good guy. Yes, love those bad boy books too, but the fact that Griffin doesn’t need redeeming is such a breath of fresh air.
I love that Luca is Luca. From beginning to end. Yes, she’s working on herself, but Griffin doesn’t try to fix her, that he just wants to be with her while she works on herself, and love isn’t just a magic fix all that suddenly cures all the wrongs. ♥️

Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan did such a great job bringing these characters to life! Both of their British accents were awesome and if I was younger, I’d seriously consider changing my name to Luca just to hear Jacob Morgan say my name. Andi Arndt did such a good job even in the parts where Luca was filled with self doubt and it could have turned into whiney pity party theatrics, but she really conveys the hurt in such a phenomenal way, that there was no eye-rolling that I admit I sometimes find myself doing with some narrations.

I’m sad that I have finished listening to it.

Oh, Ryder!

Revisado: 02-10-19

Oh, Ryder! Just a Sweet Good Guy! Madison deserves him and the calm and love he brings to her and the boys. Especially after dealing with her ex!

Nicole Garcia did a wonderful job writing a story that really captures what a struggle it is to be a single parent and to be on and in charge of everything- all the time!

Kai and Wen were perfection. I could really feel Madison's exhaustion, frustration, and finally acceptance. Kai never fails to make me want to climb into a story and be friends with the heroine, and this wasn't any different! She also carried off the supporting characters with other accents without making it feel like the same person reading different parts! Wen did several characters for this book as well, and just proved again how wonderful of a narrator and voice actor he is. They never fail in making me fall in love!

A blurry mess of emotions!

Revisado: 09-05-18

This book is a twist and turn of emotions! From the beginning I was brought right along with the ugly ride that is endometriosis and infertility. The hope and the despair. It was done with such wit and sarcasm that it wasn't a whiny tale, which would have been so easy to turn into. Her journal of infertility is such an emotional and personal journey, that I feel like I'm a friend of JT Lawrence and she's kept me updated all along. The book was more like getting letters of updates than something that was written for public consumption. I found myself rooting for Her and Mike so much that every heartbreak and setback they encountered, I was in my car crying right along with them. Sometimes the road to parenthood is rocky. Sometimes easy. Sometimes it never makes it there. I am in love with JT's sense of humor. I so wish she could be my friend!

This is the first audiobook I've listened to narrated by Jennifer Swanpoel. I am a new fan! I have such a hard time with female narrators, because I feel like they are over produced and robotic. This is so not the case with Jennifer! She truly made it sound as if she WAS JT reading her journal. She had such emotion, like she was feeling it herself! I really really enjoyed her narration, and I will definitely be looking into other audio narrated by her!

Not all episodes downloaded

Revisado: 08-28-18

I only got episodes 11-20, so I won't even use it.
There is no way to redownload from Aaptiv, and no way to return the episodes that did come through.
This could have been great. Don't waste space on your app for this!

I love a good Friends to Lovers!

Revisado: 04-10-18

I really enjoyed this book. This was the first book I've "read" (listened to) by A.M. Madden and I'll have to read others! I love the idea of a radio sex therapist being able to give advice to others, but still have issues himself. I love Vaughn and Haven together. Navigating a new romance with your best friend who you work with also, gives all sorts of ways for drama to play out.
I didn't like that Haven hung back and at some parts she just seemed a bit ...not whiney... but, close - because of her insecurities (and secrets) moving into new territory with Vaughn. But, eventually it works itself out :)

This was my first narration from Tor Thom and Charley Ongel as well. Whew. Hot. I am a new fan of both of them. They both had several different characters that they voiced, and it was their talent shows when switching back and forth between characters. And, the timbre and growl of Tor's voice gives me goosebumps, I will be looking up more of his narrations!

This was totally not my thing.

Revisado: 04-03-18

I so wanted to like this book. I'm a dark fairytale fan and I love reading BDSM. But this? This was not that at all. Xavier was a tyrant.

Melanie made a deal with him to have his baby to save her father from legal troubles. But, she didn't sign up for the things he subjected her to: Making her sit at his feet and eat out of her hand, locking her up in an outside dog kennel because she questioned him, not even letting her change her tampon herself.

I ended up skipping around to "finish" listening to it, because I hate not finishing something. This in no way was any kind of consensual. And, if that is your thing, that's fine, but it was too much for me, especially not realizing that when I went into it.

The narration was okay. Maybe I would have thought it was better had I liked the book?

A mixed bag of emotions

Revisado: 03-20-18

I've never been around animal rescue and I didn't realize how heartwrenching some of these stories would be. Some of them were really sweet and some just made me sad. There was laughing and crying. This is not an all sunshine and rainbows book! It really opened my eyes to how traumatic life as an animal could really be, and how there are people out there whose life work it is to make up for other peoples bad behavior!

I enjoyed Joseph Ledfords narration of the book. He was full of emotion and seemed invested in the outcomes of the stories. The sign of a good narrator indeed.

I love Zach Anner

Revisado: 02-26-18

I was a fan of Zach Anner in the wide open sense that I knew who he was, I had seen a few of his videos floating around facebook, and I thought he was funny when he was onscreen in 'Speechless". But, I didn't really "know" Zach (with an H) Anner.

I really loved that the fact that he narrated his own book. I loved hearing the stories told in his voice. I really fell in love with Zach through listening to this book. The fact that he is so open and honest about the daily living and embarrassing moments, made the time that I spent listening to it a happy time. I was truly sad when the book ended. There is something about Zach that made me feel like he was a friend that I hadn't seen in a long time and we were just sitting and catching up with life.

It was almost one of my favorites.

Revisado: 12-04-17

I really enjoyed the way Lisabet Sarai took the Alpha/Bdsm genre and twisted it; Rachel being the high-powered "gazillionaire" and Theo the socially awkward virgin. But during sexy times, Theo broke out and Rachel really pushing the "top from the bottom". I loved it. I loved that she let him unleash that side of himself and even while she was submitting to him, she was still helping him and pushing him to be more. I liked how Lisabet wove computer worlds into the story. It was fun to listen to characters who were a bit nerdy and off the beaten path. Coders united!

**SPOILER**
Then came Chapter 22. Oh how I hated Chapter 22. It completely ruined Theo for me. I kept waiting and listening for redemption. But, no matter what he did after that, he was done for me. It was like with a slap in the face, the story turned back into what this trope has always been: A dominant man who is an Alpha always.. He lost that sweet man vibe for me. It broke my heart, because I really really loved him. I wish I could give up to Chapter 22 5 stars, and after 3 stars.
**END SPOILER**

I like Lisabet's writing, and I'm looking forward to checking out her other books! I hate that I couldn't say that I loved the book 100%. The writing and "story" were great (even after my cut point), but with the big change, it just drew a line for me. Some people may like the way it played out. Everybody but me may like the way it played out. I'm sure I'm the odd one out, but it is what it is.


I think Erin Marsh did a great job narrating the story. At some parts, I wished that there had been a male voice along with hers, but for the most part, having her do all it was good. I really felt what Rachel and Theo were feeling. This was the first thing I've listened to narrated by her, and was not disappointed
