Story
I tried resisting him. I fought to ensure history wouldn’t repeat itself. In the end, Jackson and I knew he would win. He broke down my walls, obliterated every excuse, and made me love him against all odds. Then he shattered my heart into thousands of pieces. I can’t let him back in. It was hard enough surrendering my heart the first time. If he hurts me again, I’ll never survive. No matter what he thinks, we’re beholden to our past.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Men suck. They break you. Leave you. Take everything until there's nothing left. And frankly, I'm done allowing them to make me feel insignificant. So, forget men. I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me. Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted. But, I'm only fooling myself. He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved.

Story
The day he said he'd never love me is when I vowed Quinn Miller would never break my heart again. I wanted a family - but he wouldn't give me that. As one of the top embryologists in the country, I've spent years creating babies in the lab for other people as my own dreams of motherhood fade. I'm done waiting. I decide to start the journey to parenthood alone. Then Quinn strolls back into my life, with all the finesse of a hurricane. I'm a fool to think I don't want him anymore, and one reckless night of passion ends with me pregnant by the man I swore I'd never love again.

I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman. I'm especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh. However, that's exactly where I find myself. What's a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Dear Mr. Vega: I felt it necessary to follow up on today’s meeting, since we weren’t able to speak candidly in front of your son. I was shocked to discover that you are Ryder’s dad. I think it would be best if we just pretend that we met in person for the first time today. Your son is a very bright (flirtatious and talkative) student and since his education is a top priority for both of us, I hope I can count on you to respectfully refrain from grinning at me, using that sexy tone of voice, and undressing me with your annoyingly beautiful brown eyes....

Ian Chase broke my heart at 17, and I’ve spent the last 18 years hating him for it. He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle - which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils. I’ve always loved to loathe him. I never planned to need him.

There are a few things you should know about my brother’s roommate. Wolfie Cox is complicated, and incredibly sexy. Unfortunately, he has an impressive stick lodged so far up his ass, he’s about as emotionally available as a chinchilla. Actually, that might be an insult to the chinchilla community. So, naturally, I want to ride him like a bicycle.

When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing. I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful. But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

Lexington Dane was my brother’s best friend growing up. We did everything together. He taught me how to throw a punch, how to change a tire...and he taught me how to kiss. I fell hard and fast, and gave him all my firsts. I promised I’d wait for him.... But I’m done waiting, because he went off to college and never came back. He took his fancy business degree and moved to New York City, where he promptly became a real estate mogul - turning every penthouse and apartment project he touched into gold.

But my husband is dead, and I'm alone. I ache for him, and I reach for Liam.
One night with Liam changed everything. Now I have to decide if I truly love him or if he's just the consolation prize.

Excellent emotional story but huge cliffhanger end
Would you listen to Consolation again? Why?
I would definitely listen again. It was a very touching, emotional story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character was Liam. He was strong, protective, kind, and understanding.
What about Andi Arndt and Sebastian York ’s performance did you like?
Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are my favorite narrators separately and together they are the DREAM TEAM. I seek out books by the two of them and was the main reason I purchased this book as I'd never read this author before. They capture the emotions of the characters perfectly at all times. Their narration turns books into movies, which is amazing.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The first couple of chapters were very gutwrenching and certainly captured the mourning experience very well, in my opinion. Plus all the moments with Liam and Ara were very touching.
Any additional comments?
Loved this book and I'm DYING for book 2!!!!

TRAGIC, HEARTBREAKING, BREATHTAKING & BEAUTIFUL
If you're looking for a light listen then this isn't your book as it's a heartbreaking journey of loss, broken dreams, betrayal and grief as Natalie has to come to terms with the devastation of losing her Navy SEAL husband during a mission. But it's also a beautiful love story about her and her husband's best friend Liam as they grieve together, slowly become friends and eventually lovers. Liam is sexy, handsome, understanding, supportive and patient - a true hero - but he is also a Navy SEAL too and Natalie has to face the fact that, once again, if she chooses Liam history may repeat itself and she could be left alone again.
This is a very emotional story as it tracks Natalie's life as she gets the tragic news, gives birth, attends his funeral and has to piece her life back together and, even when Liam comes onto the scene, her grief takes time to lessen in the arms of a very loving and caring Liam. His interactions with Natalie's baby is also touching and, at times, funny and he never excludes the baby in their relationship. A relationship which is slow to build but wonderful to witness.
There's some interesting secondary characters, twists, sex, passion, romance, shocking drama and angst by a 'third party' and a network of friends all within the brotherhood of the SEALs. Great narration topped this tear-jerker of a story off and added to the rawness, the depth and the emotional journey that Natalie and Liam took. And the cliffhanger was a jaw-dropping OMG of an ending..... but yaye thankfully book 2 is already available.
Worth a credit? As the story opened up I really didn't think I was going to like it, not because of the talented Author's work or the narration, but because it was so heartbreaking.... however along the way I became totally invested and consumed with the characters and all the very emotional dilemmas that they faced as their feelings tentatively grew. I thought this was very creditworthy but, as I said earlier, it's not a feel-good light romance so be prepared to have your heart strings pulled.... no, not just pulled but yanked.

Great Story Tear Jerker
I loved the storyline. She's so endearing & her feelings were so real. I will admit I cried on a couple of scenes.
As a Sebastian York fan, he can read a telephone book & keep me hooked!
FYI, it is a cliffhanger. I can't wait to get the next book

Consolation= outstanding
Would you consider the audio edition of Consolation to be better than the print version?
The audio version is the perfect compliment to the print/ ebook version of this amazing story!
What other book might you compare Consolation to and why?
I don't compare it to anything except that it is a military romance genre
Which scene was your favorite?
I have many scenes that made me laugh, cry, get angry. I brings out lots of emotions.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
As mentioned before the narrator's do an amazing job of bringing the authors characters and story to life provoking a wide range of emotions. This is one of my favorites!

Amazing!!!
I really love this story. It broke my heart then mend it then broke it again only to mend it all over.
This story is about an Army wife who found out her husband died before she gave birth to their child. She was able to find love and move on, only to have her world shattered again.
There isn't much I can say about this book without giving much away but one thing I can say is, you won't be disappointed.
BTW---This is a cliffhanger.
