HOLY DRAMA!!

I loved the story line and the characters, the first 75% of the book was great (mostly) but once they find their way it takes a turn for the worst for me. I don't enjoy extreme drama and the last part of this book was nothing but drama. The jealousy doesn't work for me... If you can't trust each other then you shouldn't be together!! That part for me was immature and turned this 4.5 star book into a 3.5 star book. I will also say that the very first scene wasn't really realistic to me but they were teenagers so I can get past that and did very quickly. I loved the emotional aspect of this book, my heart broke at one part but I love when people pick up and move forward.

The narration was PERFECT... It's Erin Mallon so I expect nothing else!!

Amazing

I had read the books a couple of times, but listening brings it to a whole new level. Nothing more amazing than listening to an incredible book done with incredible narration!

Another great romance told by Erin!!

Erin Mallon has so much passion in her narrations. She is just one of the best. This was an absolute well written story and narration by Erin. Nate was flawed but passionate; Michael was the boy next door who loved Brooklyn too. She was loved differently by both men. That would be such a dream for any woman. I loved this story and highly recommend you enjoy it too.

Be My Reason

I enjoy Samantha Christy's writing and this story was no exception. I also have enjoyed other books by this narrator. However, the narration in this book made it difficult for me to listen. I kept starting and stoping the book because of the strange tone and overly breathy quality.

Nate & Brooklyn (aka Lyn)

*****REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS*****

Audible review. Single POV (Brooklyn's). The narrator has a distinct growl through out that is unappealing to me. I enjoyed the story but it's not my favorite SC work. Second chance romance. Trigger Warnings: high school loss of virginity; Nate's mom arrested for running a prostitution ring out of her spa; broken relationship between Nate & his mom; Brooklyn's fiancé dies after he's in a car accident (heartwrenching scene when life support is turn off); Nate's ex-wife cheated on him after he was injured & lost his dream career; extreme jealousy; Ryan intended to betray Brooklyn through her business.

Brooklyn has fallen for Nate, one of her high school's star baseball athletes, when they're both 17 year old virgins. Things quickly escalate the first time they meet off school grounds. Once Brooklyn returns to school she learns Nate's mom was arrested for running a prostitution ring out of her spa and Nate's dad packed up and moved away with his kids. Brooklyn's heart is broken and it takes 6 years for her to find someone new. She gets burned while working in her bakery and requires a trip to the ER where she meets Dr Michael Bridges (cute touch with the last name). Michael sends a follow up care package winning her over. Two years later Brooklyn is happily engaged to Michael & goes to a conference with her long time best friend Emma (Emma has been a player up to this point). While at the conference Brooklyn notices a guy kissing & caressing a few different women. Emma is excited to have met an attractive new business contact and wants Brooklyn to go out with him and his co-worker that night. Brooklyn sees Nate and realizes he was the womanizer she saw earlier and flees. That night Emma & Brooklyn go to meet Emma's new love interest only to find his co-worker is Nate. After much convincing the 4 spend some time together and even have a run in with Nate's ex-wife. Nate & Brooklyn almost kiss sending Brooklyn into a guilt spiral and spending the rest of their time at the conference to herself studying for her upcoming exams. Shortly after their return home Nate starts texting Brooklyn, aftert telling Michael about it, Brooklyn asks Nate to stop. Brooklyn finishes her exams, turns her cell phone back on to receive several messages, 2 of which ask her to get to the hospital quickly. Michael had been in an accident, is on life support and their families have been gathered to say their goodbyes. Brooklyn is devastated and asks Emma and her boyfriend not to tell Nate about Michael's death. 2 years later, Emma is getting married and Brooklyn's secret about Michael is revealed along with Nate revealing his wife cheated on him. After her honeymoon, Emma comes home to move out of their apartment and she allows Nate to move in while he works in the area. Nate has issues with jealousy and he and Brooklyn break-up after he returns home after finishing his project. Brooklyn grieves the end of the relationship only to find out she's 8 weeks pregnant. Nate returns, proposes marriage and a new business venture for Brooklyn. Brooklyn starts to turn him down thinking he's only doing it because she's pregnant. Everything comes out and they are engaged by the end. JP
