About this listen

Sean and Ana are competitive to a fault. Can they team up to find love or will the government step in to referee?

Ana has been living in her sisters’ shadow for years when the choosing ceremony comes around. Much as she loves them—now that she’s been given a coveted spot at the Mating Grounds—she’s determined to finally make a life for herself outside of their notoriety.

Sean is good looking, a professional handball player and a secret virgin. Unfortunately, his home Zone is running out of eligible women, so it’s become one of the Chosen or bust. Can he push past his nerves and let love in or will he be sidelined when his competition blows him away?

Paired Off is a spicy, interconnected stand-alone in The Mating Grounds series. If you like opposites attract, big himbo energy and an inexperienced MMC, then you’ll love this dystopian romance novella.

This is a sweet and spicy book to this series and it’s just as good as the first. If you want a story with an inexperienced male and an independent woman who’s a little shy when making a move, then this story is perfect for you. They are such a sweet couple that you don’t expect to work at first, but they soon learn to make it work and help each other out. Especially when in the gym

This story was short but good. I liked how it was simple and not hard to read at all. It was sweet and cute and can be read in under 2 hours.

I find these stories to be nice and cute little pick me ups between my longer and more emotionally draining stories. This is my second one I have read within the series, and I can't wait to dive into the others to read their relationship beginnings. Ana and Sean's story was so cute (totally not my introverted self living through Ana's more outgoing and outspoken personality).
I did struggle a bit on trying to keep up with all the characters thrown into such a short story, but that's something I've always had issues with so I can't put that on the author.

And as always, Laura Horowitz did a wonderful job narrating this and had me giggling through it while on my road trip.
