Awesome Story & Narration🎧 A Blast of a RomCom💘

Wow, this book is one angsty and comical ride and I loved every minute of it. Sabrina Stark is a gifted author, I enjoyed her writing style, she created interesting storylines that were captivating from start to end. I liked how she lightened up her angsty enemies to lovers romance with comedy, a perfect blend of tropes and not an easy task to pull off but she nailed it. The well developed characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored both lead characters, Arden Weathers and Brody Blastoviak. Arden Weathers finishes college and returns back to what she thinks is her grandmothers home. Turns out it was recently sold and to none other than the one who caused her problems in H.S, ones that cost her more than he knew. Brody and his brothers have come a long way in the years she was away at college, they have a successful remodeling business and their own reality TV show featuring them and the homes they work on. When Brody catches her showering in what is now his house he does not know what to think. It does not take long to figure out who she is but he still not quite sure why she was there. OMG, the chemistry between these two is undeniable, well to everyone but themselves. Even the person filming the show saw it and offered her a job as a consultant just for the sake of adding drama to the show. Some of Arden’s antics were hysterical at times, her naivety was a bit unsettling at times as was much trust she put in her cousin. regardless of that I was rooting for her all the way. And for Brody to get his butt out of his head, those Blastoviaks are tough cookies life sure has hardened them. But it was good to see they still had a heart. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, humor, some heartfelt and emotional moments and a fabulous on the slow burn side of a romance. Sabrina Stark, thank you for this wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am looking forward to what comes next in this Blast of a series.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Connor Brown and Stephanie Rose are talented narrators and voice artists. They did an awesome job portraying the characters, giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. They grasped each characters’ persona and sounded just as I pictured them to sound. Stephanie Rose played the perfect Arden and Connor Brown did the same for Brody. Both were great with the secondary characters as well. They also captured the characters emotions and projected them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you the awesome listen.

Loved this.

I received this audiobook via a promo code from The Flock at my request and this is my Voluntary Review.

Book 1 of the Blast Brothers series focuses on Brody Blastoviak, a Reality TV star for a Home Construction star who has found himself standing in his latest project with a naked woman in his shower, but before his mind can drag itself into the leaky gutter he recognises Arden Weathers, his former high school lab partner. The girl he loathes for "accidentally" torching his truck years ago. The last thing he wants is to get involved in that kind of crazy but somehow her sob story of it being her grandparents place she thought she co-owned with a cousin when he betrayed her and sold it... leads to them both working to restore a crumbling beach house on his TV show, and soon they have to accept that Chemistry is more than just a class they shared back in High School, and they end up ripping off clothes as well as rotting drywall.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story, I wasn't sure what to expect when I started it and it was a perfect treat.

When the TV crew show up, they witness the angst behaviour between Arden and Brody that would make excellent TV so offer Arden a consulting job on the show now they are stuck working together and with all the pent-up angst between these two can only lead to some more explosive chemistry which makes for excellent moments in this book. This was a really good book. I loved the chemistry these two had however there are some secrets revealed that will lead into the next book called Bang which I am looking forward to listening to.

Enemies-To-Lovers Romantic Comedy

Boom by Sabrina Stark is an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that I listened to on audio narrated by Connor Brown and Stephanie Rose. This is this first book in the Blast Brothers trilogy and can be read as a stand-alone.

This is the first book of Sabrina’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the chemistry between Arden and Brody. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series Bang so I can get Mason and Cami’s story.

Connor and Stephanie did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I can’t wait to listen to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves enemies-to-lovers romance, romantic comedies, or billionaire romances.

Boom

Perfection! There really is no other way to describe this book. It had me laughing and screaming when they started acting stupid through he whole book which is what makes it so great. I was so invested in these characters and wanting them to find their happy endings that I was cheering for them all the way until the end. I can’t wait to see which brother falls next in this series!

Stand alone story but first in series

Boom is an excellent story. I loved how the title ties in to the history between Arden and Brody. The premise was great and the characters were fun. Sabrina Stark used intermittent flashback scenes in exactly the right way, not to bring up events for the first time (which I dislike), but to add dimension to the characters and illustrate how assumptions can color your perspective and have lasting effects. I actually prefer lower angst stories, but the first half of the book roped me in. I was so invested in the characters that I held out through the roller coaster ride of emotions to make it to the end. After the long rollercoaster, the ending seemed a tiny bit abrupt.

Boom has all the feels, so it's perfect for people who like stories with a decent amount of angst. That's not normally me at all, but I'm still glad I listened to it and I would do it again, so rom com fans who like home renovation shows and enemies to lovers stories should give it a try too. It is a stand alone, but I'm looking forward to listening to more of the series.

I listened to the audio version. Connor Brown and Stephanie Rose were both new narrators for me, but I enjoyed their performances and would listen to both of them again. I'm certain that I liked the story even better because I listened to it and the audio added to the experience.

Nice

I really enjoyed the story itself. It's the characters that got under my skin. They were really rude to each other. Nobody bothered to take the time to tell the other why they were acting the way they were. One of the "tropes" I don't like is the thing where the character is holding a problem or misconception they have with the other character so it causes miscommunications for chapters on in. It's just not a drama I'm particularly into. That's the only real big issue I had with the book though. The rest was hilarious and amazing!

Boom is right

a new author and I will say a great book. Arden and Brody are so enemies since high school. but as they work together on redoing her grandmas house they clash even more. it all started in Hs. as they work together will they resolved the complex issues. I will say I thought Arden was portrayed as someone who doesn't understand things. like no common sense. but yet she was a top student in her class.

both narrators are new to me. they did a great job with the story.
