About this listen
Simone Oliver prides herself on being a realist and a cynic. A brilliant set designer for a Manhattan theater company, she thrives in the background and is perfectly comfortable in jeans, Chuck Taylors, and a paint-smeared T-shirt. That is, until Zach Hammond, the award-winning (and sexy-as-hell) British director, turns the spotlight on her. He's clearly captivated by her and won't take no for an answer - but Simone is determined to maintain her position that love's not worth the risk.
A hopeless romantic who can quote Shakespeare on a whim, Zach has spent his life center stage, surrounded by world-famous actors and royalty. But nothing he's seen can compare to what Simone can create. Before long, he finds himself as mesmerized by her brash beauty as he is by her work, and he's determined to seduce her stubborn heart.
But while the two may have been successful at relegating romance to the wings in New York, when their production moves to a centuries-old Irish castle in County Clare, there may be just enough magic to give true love the curtain call it deserves.

Story
Have you ever fake dated your bodyguard? I don't recommend it. Especially if he's anything like Erik Wilder: Former football player, world class know-it-all and unapologetic grump. To be clear, I didn't want a bodyguard (hence the fake dating idea). Most days, I can’t figure out why he wants the job either. We drive each other insane, probably because we’re as opposite as two people can be. He’s suspicious, never talks about his past and has the comfort skills of a cactus. I’m a happily-ever-after kind of girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

Great, other than the weird attempt at a British accent
I picked this up via Kindle Unlimited after Strom's "Almost Like Love." It isn't a sequel, but picks up with a different couple where the other leaves off. I enjoyed the character development, the romance, the background of theater and Shakespeare, and the story as a whole. It's light and occasionally predictable, but it isn't one-dimensional, either. We come to understand Simone through her deepest fears and losses as well as her joys and wit.
My only complaint was with the narrator's awkward attempt at Zach's British accent. She pulls off a great Irish accent when the time comes, but I couldn't get over the stiffness of the way she voiced Zach. It wasn't quite irritating enough to switch to the text version, and once I got used to it I didn't mind too much - it's just difficult to be enamored with him when he sounds so silly.

Loved the book. It did have a slow start but didn’t disappoint once in the end. It made me laugh, get turned on and cry.

finding love
This story was wrote beautifully. Simone wasn't my favorite character in previous books or at the beginning of this one. The author wrote her emotional journey
of the reason she feared loved with life and Zach. It was exciting to see her develope. The narrator was perfect.

The story about thespians...
Simone is the set designer for a Manhattan company...and she has designs on the guest producer for the new show. But her interest in Zach is purely physical since she doesn’t believe in love. Sparks fly between the duo and, as they get to know each other, their may be more...if Simone allows. Add a trip to beautiful Ireland, a jealous ‘special’ friend and this book is rather entertaining.

Follow up falls short
I loved the first in this series, so I couldn't wait to read the next one. I'm not sure if it was the narration, story, or combo, but it was by brute force that I finished this novel. The narrator's voices for different characters, particularly the guys and especially Zach, were hard to listen to. The story didn't hold the same electricity as its predecessor. I'm glad it was a short book so I didn't lose too many hours of my life.

Warning! Narrator is HORRIBLE.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I stopped listening a few times and read the Kindle version, then I steeled myself to finish listening so I could warn other readers about the bad job the narrator made of this book.
What other book might you compare Nothing Like Love to and why?
The story was fun, the people and places appealing and attractive. Author's other books are fun -- like this one -- a chick lit theme.
What didn’t you like about Emily Durante’s performance?
Not much. Her male voices were terrible. They sounded like they had colds and the hero's British accent was abysmal. Truly horrible.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
A narrator who could handle the hero's masculine British accent. He didn't sound anything like the hero the author described.
Any additional comments?
I won't bother with any other books narrated by Emily Durante. I'll read them instead. I don't care if they only have American accents. She can't carry off a male voice. I think she needs long term professional coaching and training before she attempts another.
