About this listen

Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out.

I know - I've been doing it for years.

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I've got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary.

And Marlon James - Grip to his fans - is nothing short of extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I've thrown away the key. All that's left is friendship and work.

He's on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true.

I manage his career, but I can't seem to manage my heart. It's wild, reckless, disobedient - and it remembers all the things I want to forget.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing read and exceptional narration from Jacobi and Maxine. Kennedy Ryan is some writer, wow! Very thought provoking. I did get frustrated with Bristol at times with some of her decision making. This story ends with a happily for now, so o have no idea how their journey will continue in Still, the third and final part.

It’s a long road for Grip and Bristol

The story is full of emotional moments and Kennedy Ryan made me feel a lot in here. The book is a really slow burn, but when the fire catches it combusts like an inferno 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There is also a lot of angst in many forms, and racial discussion as the mix race couple do their best to overcome hurdles due to their skin colour.
Over all it is a sad, poetic, intense, emotional, steamy story that was difficult to put down despite my mood needing a more upbeat book.
Unfortunately I was doing hybrid reading 📚 🎧 (hopping between audio and kindle or both) and the audio doesn't match the book several times. Which was a shame.
Narration was outstanding, I would listen to Jakobi Diem read anything, his voice is that enticing and his interpretation makes any tale he narrated even better. Maxine Mitchel was also great, even if I imagined Bristol with a different voice.

Lots and lots of emotions 😭😱😵😲😂😍😤🤗😖😳💖

I knew this was going to be a long book, and it took a while to get into it. In fact I nearly stopped listening at one point because I couldn't click with the characters. In fact Bristol wound me up at first. However it was worth persevering because it ended up.being a great story with a fab twist at the end. You can tell the author had done her research, and I learnt new things.

Worth persevering....
