London Bound

Sexy, Funny, Emotional Story ~ Love it!

Leslie is a Funny, Snarky, red head who's not traditional in any sense! I adored her friendship with Frank, and loved how they bantered, and interacted with each other. I think on some level, we all crave friendships with people who know us so intimately, they know just how to help us, when we are down and out. Leslie takes Frank's offer and tries his Seven Day Cleanse to get out of her "funk." Each day of this cleanse, brings on a whole new hilarious challenge. While undertaking each challenge, the sexy Theo and his Clark Kent classes, takes these opportunities to get closer to Leslie and break down her walls.

While Leslie and Theo have their own secretes, Theo's seemed to have affected him the most. Deep emotions are attached to these secretes, and you can't help but to feel these emotion, as each character goes on their own emotional roller coaster.

Some got it, some don't……Piper Goodeve's GOT IT! She delivered an extraordinarily delightful performance, giving this story that "extra special something" taking the story from just great to fabulous. It was such a treat listening to Piper narrating this story, she really brought the characters to life.

A sweet, sexy story, full of laughs and lot's of different emotion. All the characters were excellent, well developed and likeable. It's a five solid stars story, and I'm hooked! I will definitely have to listen to the other stories in the series.

Well worth my time, and definitely worth a credit or better yet whispersync deal!

Best Amy Daws book yet!

Loved this latest Amy Daws book. If you haven't listened to one of her books yet- pick this one up. From the start of the first embarrassing encounter with Theo, lead character Leslie provides a lot of laugh out loud moments. Frank, who is Leslie's best friend, is amazingly funny and jumps in with some lighthearted humor at just the right moments in the story. Theo and Leslie's relationship has a lot going on that provides just enough angst to keep you intrigued but doesn't drag out the story. There is enough meat to the story that you are always laughing, crying, or excited for the next chapter. Also the chemistry between the characters is hot. Two thumbs up!!

Wow!!

I enjoyed this audio sooooo much. It was made up of everything I enjoy in a book. There was lots of humor that had me giggling and making note of the one liners to use at a later time. There was some super hot romance and sweet love. There was angst and heartbreak and most of all it was real. It wasn't outrageous or outlandish. Just a real story about some real friends.

Piper Goodeve is a fantastic narrator and I can't believe how awesome she did with the accents! I was really impressed.

Although this book was given to me in exchange for my honest review by audiobookboom.com, it was in my tbr and I am going back right now and using my credits on the whole series. I can't wait to hear more Frank stories and also hear Finley's story.

4 London Stars

Yay! New narrator! I am usually not so in your face about a narrator but I started on book 4 and 5 and the narrators blew me away they were sooo great. I loved this narrator.

Also loved this book, not once did I roll my eyes. Even when Leslie was talking with Fin. I just can’t connect with Fin, it’s just me I have come to terms Fin and I can no longer be friend’s lmao. It’s ok she has Leslie so don’t feel bad for Finny.

So Leslie and Theo, I floved there love story, it’s a great addition to the series. I wanted to read this one esp after reading Hayden’s book. Yes they are totally all standalones, so even though I knew what was going to happen and why it was still neat to go back and listen to it unfold from her point of view.

I loved that Theo was all in throughout this whole book and he was the one that brought Leslie out. He would be there even when she didn’t want him to. Loved that!

I want a Frank HEA who’s with me!!!  He needs some love too poor guy. He has to watch all his friends fall in love.

*All my Reviews are 100% honest and my own.*

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

Leslie escapes her life in the USA and moves to London...she has a secret...her daddy is not a nice man, and just imagine how much that would hurt your heart...Leslie has to basically just let her mom go...and create a new life...Because of this Leslie has sworn off men, she doesn't trust them and is happy to live her life alone as a cat lady if she has too! She meets Theo quite by accident, and its on! She tries to escape him, but he will not give up...and good thing he didn't!!!

GREAT STORY!! BOUGHT BOOK 1 ALREADY!!! I RECOMMEND!!!!

A sweet, sexy, hilarious audio & STELLAR narration

The sweet story of Theo and Leslie is incredible. The crazy cast of characters are really brought to life in this audio and make you laugh out loud and well up. Amy brings the emotion in and hits all the notes perfectly. You'll want to know more about all of them, but Leslie's crazy antics and Theo's broodiness mixed with his sad past make a beautiful, perfect love story. And there's no lack of steam either, from the very first moment.

I've loved all of Amy's books but Piper sent this audio over the top in my opinion. She breathed life in to the story and elevated it which is always the sign of a great narrator to me. It's a standalone and totally worth the credit. If you haven't checked out Amy's audio before, this is the book to do it with. Piper's ability to be a vocal chameleon and bring realism and emotion to both male and female characters is uncommon in the audiobook world and makes me seek her books out.

The combination of Amy's writing and Piper's voice skills makes London Bound a MUST LISTEN!!

Leslie and Theo

Talk about a quick whirlwind! Leslie needed to escape to find herself. Theo is living day by day just to get thru his grief.
A misunderstanding and a tragic incident throws their budding relationship into a craziness that will take some major strength to get through.
The London Lovers series has been a joy to listen to and to read. Piper Goideve kills it with the sexy accents and emotional enflextions in her narration.

Not bad

So you have to continue the series and find out Leslie’s deal. She’s a bit maudlin and melodramatic about her issues... I’m not getting any righteous anger from Leslie, who’s supposed to be so spunky, just the flight in fight-or-flight. Same with Theo and his family, really... they gave me whiplash. And the narrator just can’t handle the British accents successfully enough. I found Theo’s conversation distracting. But Frank is delightful, you know Liam’s and Hayden’s stories are yet to come, so even if it’s maybe a little drawn out and clumsily handled, you should check this one off the series list.

Not my favorite

The performance was fine. I didn’t enjoy the bouncing back and forth from past to present. Not awful but I enjoy other Amy Daws books much better than this one. It’s as if there was no build up to the relationship, one minute it wasn’t and then next it was. All very bizarre and not what am used to with Amy Daws.

Loving this new to me author

Loved this story, the banter between all of the characters was absolutely fantastic. How Amy Daws brought them all to life was wonderful. How both Theo and Leslie hid their pasts from one another thinking they couldn’t share their past with one another yet how they supported one another after it all came out. Amy, you had me giggling, crying and shaking my head throughout your story. I’m a sucker for ugly cries from any love story and let me tell ya, I sure did cry.

Piper does an exceptional job at the characters in this series as well. I’m happy to have spent my time with this book and I’m going to the next book right away ❣️
