Summary
"I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise I would become lost...a hollowed-out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...."
Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a US congressman and captain of his university's hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family's public image.
Forced to abandon her music career after the heartbreaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time, and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success.
With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way? A lot can happen in just 10 short days....

5 star charming, flawless and delightful!
Charlotte North and Matthew Holland brought this lovely story to life with flawless, natural and endearing characterisation! The story was completely charming. I completely recommend this to anyone who wants a love story with romantic rather than vulgar steam. The couple, despite obstacles, completely adored each other and it was just happy making from start to finish.

A really enjoyable listen 👍
This book was included, so decided to try something by this author, who is new to me.
Whilst the theme of the book has been done before, I really liked the characters and story.
Nicely written. Very well narrated.
Would definitely recommend. Also, the rest of this series is included too, so am off to get them in my library now.

Enjoyable if not slightly annoying
I haven’t read this book so the audible was a true new to me experience.
I enjoyed the story, found the concept interesting and well written with enough to keep me engaged and hoping for the hea.
My main issue with this was the male narrator. A new one on me I think I just didn’t click with him as the character. I just heard overconfidence and the main character came over as smarmy at times, not sure I’ve heard him before but it’s a personal thing to me I’m sure, I could hear him narrate 20 other books and love them possibly, it just didn’t work for this character for me.
I loved the FMC narrator and thought she delivered a fab performance in this one.
Not sure I’d go for any other books in this series but I did enjoy this one.

basic and vanilla but enjoyable
it was really predictable from the get go. there were literally zero surprises but the characters were nice to get to know and fun to explore so why not.

Meh
Very unrealistic plot for the time frame. Didn't like it much, so overall I'd say below average.

Light easy story
A wonderfully written coming of age college drama that confronts first love full on. The story, told in dual POV follows the son of a US Congressman and captain of the hockey team Ryan Burnham, as he unexpectedly falls for struggling waitress Danny Cross. Divided by class and living in two different worlds they struggle to find their way when snobbery and contempt threatens their future. Thankfully neither of them take any bull, they both know the facts and they know what they are up against, that is until Ryan's cow of a mother decides to really twist the knife in a very open wound and play completely on Danny's emotions and love for Ryan. Quite emotional in places with some pretty strong characters, I've got to say I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into the rest of the series.
