About this listen

Tristan

Charlie is everything I want and didn’t realize I need.
It’s clear to me now, the woman I met at the club is only one layer of the woman I’m falling for.
I’m a fixer by nature, but for the first time, I wouldn't fix a thing.
I want her just the way she is.
Broken pieces and all.
Who needs the fairy tale, when we can have the reality.

Charlie

Tristan is everything I want, yet don't deserve.
He’s loving, protective, smart, an amazing father, and he’s onto me.
That's why I need to speed this story up and tell him everything.
So we can flip to the end of the book, and he and his daughter can move on to the next story.
One where they get a happily-ever-after.
Because there’s no story I’m a part of that ends in any way but tragedy.

Amazing dual narration from Gideon Frost and Marina Barrett, wow.

Tristan is a single dad of a daughter Lexi, the love of his life. Charlie has fled an abusive relationship after the death of her daughter. The guilt is heavy and she has no intention of settling down or falling in love again. That is until Tristan. Even though these fit, but misunderstanding, and secrets can stop love and a family finding a new start.

I love single dad romances, especially one with a dad like Tristan who was fantastic. I adored how the whole cast of characters were showcased, to be honest, because these are people that I would love to be friends with. Throw in Charlie, who made me tear up multiple times because her history was so sad, and I'm just loving this series and especially this story. Plenty of emotion, steam and love throughout, with a world that encapsulates acceptance and family. A wonderful story made better by the great narration. I loved Gideon Frost and Marina Barrett's narration- smooth with great nuance that heightened the emotion.

Nikki Ash pens another winning romance novel set in her “Fighting Love” series and wow, not only did it captivate my attention for the entire book, but it tugged at my heartstrings, too. The characters in this book, and series, are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with and after meeting Tristan, who quickly became one of my favorite characters in the series, I was looking forward to his story and happily ever after. I am equally excited about Mason’s story, Tristan’s best friend and sidekick. Tristan had not had the best of luck in the love department, first he fell in love with Bella, who did not have the same affection and only saw him as a good friend. Then he gets involved with Gina, who loved her drugs more than him, but she gave him the love of her life, his daughter, Lexi. Charlie’s husband was abusive towards her and a cheat and she knew she had to get out of the marriage, especially when he aimed his anger at their daughter. She knew it would not be easy to leave him, so she needed to plan her escape carefully. Before she can get away, the unthinkable happens, and she loses everything, including her daughter. Heartbroken, she finally makes her escape, but she needed to stay off the radar so he could not track her down. She gets a job working in a strip club and that is where she first meets Tristan, who makes assumptions about her, ones she does not correct. Tristan knows he screwed up, and he gets to apologize when they run into each other again when he was with Lexi, who is absolutely adorable, and helps get Charlie out of her funk for a few minutes, Though she being reminded of what she lost, her and Lexi instantly click and bond over their love of art. It was great to watch Tristan and Charlie get to know each other, and I thought they were great together and for each other, Lexi included. Their story is a beautiful love story, a multi-layered story that has the perfect balance of drama, angst, charming moments, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. I loved the twists and how it all played out, well done, very well done. Nikki Ash, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Gideon Frost and Marina Barrett did a superb job bringing these characters to life, understanding who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role they played. Frost’s Tristan was spot on, smooth worthy and all, Barrett was just as amazing in her role as Charlie, both grasping all aspects of their characters’ personalty and their every emotion. They were great performing the roles of the secondary characters too, including Lexi, with an adorable and youthful voice. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

I’m still fairly new to Nikki’s book but with each book I read I fall in love with her words even more. I love a good single dad romance and this one ticked all the right boxes.

Tristan is SWOONY. He’s every girls dream… He’s such a beautiful man and deserves everything happy in this world. Unfortunately, he’s been pretty unlucky in love and has had his heart broken a few times leading him jaded. After life took an unexpected turn, he was lost, left with loads of uncertainties, pushing him to drowning his sorrows in alcohol. One a very drunken night, he met a woman and got her pregnant and he became a father and ended up becoming a single father to a beautiful baby girl and having a daughter to look after, meant that she became priority number one and made him realise he needed to sort himself out. His dream was to find someone to fall in love with but he put that on the back burner… But when they say love comes when you least expect it… Well he was not expecting to meet Charlie and he certainly wasn’t expecting to fall in love with her.

After being emotionally, mentally and physically abused in her past, Charlie has a lot of demons she has to battle. She’s a broken and avoids any close relationships she could have with anyone after being burnt multiple times in the past and after going through so much loss, pain and trauma in her past. It’s just easier for her to keep herself closed off when it comes to her heart.
But when Tristan comes into her life, everything starts to change, there is a glimmer of light in her world of darkness and for the first time in a very long time she is hopefully for a happier future. It seems that Tristan is the right person to bring down these walls that she has up.


I was not expecting this book to be so emotional. It had me all in my feels. I laughed, I cried and I swooned like crazy throughout the book. I was obsessed and couldn’t stop listening to it! I couldn’t help but fall in love Tristan and Charlie love story. Charlie went through so much, my heart broke for her. She was so relatable for me and I was drawn to her.. Tristan was perfect for her and watching their relationship blossom and them get closer and seeing them get their happy ending like they deserved made my heart happy.

I loved this book so much! Highly recommend giving it a read! You won’t be disappointed!!
