About this listen

An enemies-to-lovers lesbian sports romance about making it to the finish line.

A koala ruined her life. Well, that's how elite athlete Shan Metz sees it.

When an idiot charity runner in a koala suit trips Shan during a community fun run, her knee blows out, destroying her dream of making the Australian Commonwealth Games team. Recovering from knee surgery will be bad enough, but living on her building's fourth floor will make it a nightmare.

Consultant Lizzie Carras, aka the dream-wrecking koala, does guilt like a pro. The only decent thing to do is offer Shan her spare bedroom during recovery. Their incompatible lifestyles don't help matters. Neither does Shan's training partner, the haughty and possessive Celia. But they'll muddle through until Shan's knee has healed enough to get out of Lizzie's life.

Because it's not like Shan would ever miss a dream-wrecking koala or anything. Right?

Contains mature themes.

Cheyenne Blue has written a charming slow burn romance about two fit and hot, but ill matched, women and a rescue dog. It is set in Australia and Cat Gould, the narrator has an attractive, soft, authentic Aussie accent which compliments the story. Unfortunately though, she sounds as though she is in her 50s whereas the MCs are young women. This made the narration sound at odds with the characters, which I found distracting and stopped me from enjoying the story fully. Also, she does not differentiate between the characters' voices well so I became confused about who was speaking and/or what exactly was going on some of the time. It is a shame because, although she is not a bad narrator, the story deserves better.

Heartwarming

worth 5☆ just for presto
low angst mostly , beautiful story of accidental meeting at worst time becoming an enemies to lovers worrying about commitment, both to each other and dreams, well written never easing as the story develops.
narration is good just not my favourite, but takes nothing away, and great to have original accent.
overall definitely a read again.
