About this listen

Kesa Sapiro had to grow up fast. With her parents gone and a little sister to protect, Kesa has spent over a decade of her life trying to keep a roof over their heads. She's learned the hard way that love is a luxury and that the price is way too high. When her sister Josie announces she wants to marry a boy she's known for less than a month, Kesa immediately forbids it.

Shannon Dealan is floored when her son-by-choice says he wants to get married to a girl he's just met. Shannon has real reason to scrutinize any strangers who come into Paz's life. She's not about to let him do anything stupid - and that includes believing in love at first sight. She knows too well there's no such thing.

Hoping to soften the objections of their jaded, overbearing elders, Josie and Paz arrange for them to meet and discuss the future like civilized adults...but absolutely nothing goes as planned.

I have enjoyed this book very much indeed- The author weaves events and characters together around threats and promises- young and old, different races with different hopes and challenges, all with their own distinct mouth watering food cultures and all in the name of love.

Delightful characters

It was a slow story but worth it. Lots of internal monologue from the two FMCs. In the end they get together

Narration

I enjoyed this so much it was difficult for me to leave it be. The characters pulled me in. I loved being part of this journey. Excellent writing from a wonderful Author.

Abby, I listen to every book you narrate. I can't seem to find any other voice that is so diverse. You are so skilled in your craft and a fantastic addition to every audio offering.

Loved it

A lovely story of hard work and possibilities - in relation to love as well as the rest! I love the detail KK includes in her novels and I always finish with thinking I not only read an enjoyable novel but also learnt something. The fact that the stories are beautifully read is an added bonus.

Love at first sight
