About this listen
An angsty, age gap, forbidden romance from bestselling author, Elizabeth O'Roark.
Once upon a time, my buddy’s niece was a toddler in a swim diaper following me around the beach. Now Daisy’s twenty-one, the loveliest thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, and blackmailing me into letting her stay for the summer.
If she’s not bent over on my deck in yoga pants, she’s in a bikini that covers far less. She makes me laugh when I want to stay pissed off and forces me to remember all the things I used to love. If only she wasn’t so damn young and so incredibly off-limits.
The tension between us is getting harder to resist, but giving in would destroy some of my oldest friendships. Worst of all, though?
It might destroy Daisy too.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Story
For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him. At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. But things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

Keeley: Last January, I drunk-married my nemesis—hot, oversized geek Graham Tate. With no memory of how it came about, there was only one solution: run off before he woke up and pretend it didn't happen. It would have worked perfectly if I hadn't wound up pregnant. Graham is the opposite of everything I want in a man—practical, disciplined, frugal—but living with him until the baby arrives has me wondering if, perhaps, I've been wanting the wrong things all along.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

Until she walked in the room. The earth shifted, just like the stories said it would. I said it wouldn’t happen—not to me. I didn’t have the time, but now she was the only thing on my mind. I knew it was her. Now I had to convince her.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Story
I knew him only as Van Gogh. A tortured artist who owned the night as he moved through the shadows, cloaked in hate and madness. He was a vicious vigilante—a serial arsonist who thrived on the fear he triggered with a single match between his tattooed knuckles. We were told to lock our doors and stay inside. I wanted to. I really did. But then I saw his eyes, burning like embers as he watched me through the smoke. And like the flames at his feet, I delighted in his attention. I became his muse. His passion. His obsession. His perfectly flawed flower. But that was years ago.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

another 5 star book in this series!
i’ve never picked up an elizabeth o’roark book and not been absolutely consumed start to finish, and this was no exception. it had everything i love in a forbidden romance, the push and pull, the tension, the sneaking around, the connnection they never saw coming. it was the perfect final book to this series i love soo so much. i didn’t know if anything could surpass my love for the first book in this series, but this may have done it.
samantha brentmoor was obviously incredible, as always. and dare i say this was some of jason clarke’s best/hottest work ever??? i fear i will never recover.

Perfectly Cast Duet-Style Narration!
I knew who was narrating this book when I read an early arc, and it sounded even better than I imagined! Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke perform this audiobook in duet-style narration, and when I tell you how perfect these two were to voice Daisy and Harrison…I mean it! Samantha went with a lighter, seductive tone to capture Daisy’s youth and sassy personality. Still, she layered her performance with an emotional vulnerability that made you empathize with everything Daisy was going through. Jason used his signature deep growly tone to encompass Harrison’s older age and inner conflict when being tempted by and discovering his true feelings for Daisy. Samantha and Jason were spot on delivering hilarious witty banter, heartfelt moments, and steamy times between these two that will absolutely make you swoon and melt.

Elizabeth O'Roark Always Delivers
Overall this is a heartfelt slow-burn love story with spectacular narration. Steam wasn't overly abundant but it was well written and placed. Age gap was also handled well. Story wasn't too deep, but wasn't fluffy either. It was an easy listen.
Clark and Brentmoor were perfect in duet narration. I know duet style is more expensive for authors, but it really enhanced the listen for me. Highly recommend this audiobook.

Sorry to see this series end…
Elizabeth O’Roark put the cherry on top of the Summer series sundae with The Summer I First Saw You!
Harrison has known Daisy her whole life, literally. She’s his best friend’s niece. He’s watched her grow and taught her how to surf. Now she’s in his house and bears little resemblance to the teenager with a huge chip on her shoulder that he remembers. Even worse, she knows that he’s been lying to everyone and she’s using that to her advantage. Daisy needs a place to stay for the summer before she goes back to college to finish her degree so why not use Harrison’s house while he’s not there? Only he is there and not the same cool, collected man she’s crushed on for most of her life. Daisy and Harrison are both keeping secrets from the people who love them, but stuck together for the summer, sharing those secrets with each other, and succumbing to the attraction too strong to fight, they form a bond that heals their broken pieces. But will it be strong enough to hold when every truth is revealed?
Samantha Brentmoor perfectly captured Daisy’s hard-won sunny outlook and her bratty teasing of Harrison. She also navigated the dark parts of Daisy’s story with vulnerability and grace. Jason Clarke’s tormented delivery of Harrison’s inner monologue as he fought his attraction for Daisy had me laughing out loud at times. Jason portrayed Harrison’s journey to healing and falling for Daisy flawlessly. I adored hearing these two narrate this story!
I can’t wait to see what Elizabeth has for us next! I know I’m wildly curious about Harrison’s brother Oliver, now.

Captivating age-gap, forbidden romance!
I completely devoured this age-gap, forbidden romance! I have been waiting for the mysterious Harrison's story and it did not disappoint! Harrison had outlined his whole life, and felt like a failure when it didn't go as planned. Now he is avoiding his friends, afraid of telling them the truth. When his best friend's young niece shows up on his doorstep, needing a place to stay, he is reluctant to give in at first. But Daisy is quick to discover his truth and uses it to blackmail him into getting what she wants. Daisy is the breath of fresh air that Harrison needs. She loves the outdoors, and surfing, and she helps Harrison discover how to enjoy life again. Harrison has known Daisy her whole life, but now she is a woman, and she tempts his every thought. Daisy has loved Harrison since she was young. Now he is single, and she will do what it takes to show she is perfect for him. When they finally give in to their desires, it is explosive! But what happens when those they love most discover their secret affair? What happens when Harrison finds out the secrets that Daisy has kept from him? Can their fragile new love survive, or will they lose each other for good, breaking both their hearts? I loved Harrison and Daisy so much and cheered hard for their HEA. They were both trapped in a life they didn't want, and they helped each other have fun, and discover passion and true love.
I was so captivated by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke's narration. They easily bring out the push/pull between Daisy and Harrison, including with their friends and family, allowing me to experience their vulnerabilities and strengths, and sizzling chemistry! I love the emotion, and passion they brought to their performances, and I was completely invested in Daisy and Harrison’s journey from start to finish.

Love knows no bounds
Daisy shows up at Harrison's house finding compromising information and blackmailing him into letting her stay for the summer. She is his friend Liam's niece, and not only has he watched her grow up, but now he cannot keep his eyes off of her. She is totally off limits. Daisy has other plans. Not only does she get to surf everyday during the summer, but she is fulfilling her fantasy. She has had a crush on Harrison since she was a kid, and now living with him is a dream. But will he give in fully to her fantasy? Age gap, close proximity, incredible chemistry, like interests and just a feeling that won't give up all play into this slow burn, sensual, passionate romance. Laura Pavlov masters this taboo trope with just enough angst and the perfect amount of fun and flirty banter that had me not wanting this book to end! The characters are fantastic, and the story magnificent. I could not put it down! I loved it and all the others in this fabulous series!
Bringing it all to life is Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor. One of my favorite teams, these two are just incredible. Clarke can narrate any age, and I loved him as the older Harrison. He kept him confident, yet confused and on the edge as his decisions slowly get made. Brentmoor can fall into the new adult voice with ease, and she gives Daisy and a sassy sound with a bit of vulnerability when it comes to love. These two are amazing and made this listen go by too fast! I loved it!

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Emotional!
Elizabeth O’Roark pens another fantastic story set in her “Summer” series, an age-gap romance like no other and one that hooks you in like no other too. Once I started this book, not only did I not want to put it down, but nothing else around me mattered except what was going to happen next. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they were easy to care about and you root for them to get their act together before you know it and by getting their act together means stop denying their feelings for each other. I adored the two lead characters, Daisy, the bubbly twenty-one-year-old college student, and Harrison, the brooding lawyer who is drowning his sorrow and failures away in a bottle. Harrison is Daisy’s uncle’s best friend and eleven years older, and that is enough for her to be off-limits to him, but his reasons are genuine and with her in mind, and why he refuses to give in to his attraction for her. And when she shows up at his place and sees what state he is in, she blackmails him into letting her stay with him and he begrudgingly gives in. And when she shows up at his place and sees what state he is in, she blackmails him into letting her stay with him and he begrudgingly gives in. It was great to watch these two, with her wanting him, and he trying not to want her, going as far as avoiding her by staying at work. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and as admirable as Harrison was, he could only deny himself for so long, but in the end he does what he thinks is the right thing for her, but is it really? And the secrets they are keeping to themselves adds to their own inner turmoil, but all come out in the end. This wonderfully written and plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn but so worth the wait romance. Elizabeth O’Roark, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 The fabulous Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke deliver an outstanding performance portraying these characters, giving each a voice that is fitting, and I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable as just as I imagined the characters to sound. Brentmoor was a natural in Daisy’s role, grasping every side of her personality, from her sunny demeanor to her most vulnerable moments. Clarke aces it as Harrison, and he too grasped every aspect of his personality, from his broody grumpiness to caring and protective side. Both were just as amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. These two made a great team, their voices and performances complemented each other and they set the perfect tone for the story. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling each one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.
