About this listen

I’ve spent my life holding on. Now he’s asking me to let go.

Perfection is my armor—that’s how I keep everyone happy. Straight A’s. No distractions. Med school, residency, the surgical dream.

Then one day in the OR, the weight of it all comes crashing down. Every breath becomes a battle. So I leave the scrubs, the shame, and the panic behind for my brother-in-law’s empty cottage.

Only, I’m not alone. Matthew Carruthers is here. Pro football player. A six-foot-three slice of fun-loving temptation I have no business wanting.

But one smile, one touch, and I start to wonder what it would feel like to stop being perfect—and just be.

Falling for Matt might cost me everything I’ve worked for…But it might also be the first thing I do for me.

A slow-burn, trauma-to-love romance from USA TODAY bestselling and award-winning author S. M. West. WINNER Global eBook Award, Silver in the Romance category.

It's time to do some reflecting and decision making so what does SM West do? She takes us to a cabin to meet Matt and Claire where it is the perfect place to do it! Instant chemistry, these two dance around their feelings. There are life altering events that will change the course of each of their paths, so it's important to have everything in place before going on. Will it all work out? West creates a love story like no other. Relevant issues are brought to the surface in this one, written with grittiness and compassion to bring it to heart. I love the way she has melded these two together, the family bonds Claire has and he way Matt will do anything to keep her. It's real, it's beautiful, it's love.

Jennifer Mack is Claire, and with the many layers of this character, she shines. Each peel is torn off, letting us in to each facet of Claire and though her voice is easy to listen to, she makes her realistic and easy to relate to. Teddy Hamilton proves he is one of the best again as he brings Matt to life. Each part of this man's heart is revealed, and we feel his pain, his fury and his love. It's a fantastic team for this emotionally driven sports romance, and an amazing listen.

Emotional and Loving!

S.M. West pens another wonderfully steamy and heartfelt romance novel. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are likable and easy to care about, except for “it is all about her” Brittany. Matthew “Matt” Carruthers, a professional football player, has come to a crossroads in his career, his body is not bouncing back from injuries like it used to and his team may look to trade him. Everyone else tells him what he should do, but he is not sure and he goes up to his friend’s Drew and Pippa’s cottage in the woods for some alone time. But his annoying assistant, Brittany, joined him there, she is her sister’s friend, and he hired her because she needed a job, a job she is not even good at. But he is too nice to say anything and just writes it off as her being her. Dr Claire Raine, is interning at the surgical unit in the hospital, she has always been top in her class and number one in the intern program but an incident in the operating room has her questioning not only her skills but if she has chosen the right profession. She decides she needs time to reflect and takes some “me” for herself and escapes to her sister’s cabin in the woods. Except the cabin is not vacant, at first she thought there may have been a break in or there was a squatter, it turns out to be a friend of the family, Matt and who she thinks is his girlfriend, Brittany. It was great to watch Matt and Claire navigate around each other, both feeling an attraction, she fighting it because she thinks he has a girlfriend, him being his usual charming self. Matt finally explains who Brittany is to him, yet she still manipulates her way between them. This is a wonderfully written and plotted story, there is plenty of drama, a touch of angst, emotions that pour off the pages and straight into your heart, as well as steamy “two hearts beat as one” romance. S.M West, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, S.M West could not have chosen a better cast to bring her story and characters to life. Jennifer Mack and Teddy Hamilton are superbly talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, giving each a voice that fit their character’s persona, sounding believable, and how I pictured the character to sound. Teddy Hamilton nailed it with Matt’s role, brining out the depth of his character with perfection, Jennifer Mack did the same for Claire, both brought out all their emotions and had you feeling every single one. They were great performing the roles of the secondary characters as well, Mack brought out all the stops for Brittany made her sound as annoying as she was. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances this already wonderful story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧 Wonderfully Emotional!
