Summary

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.  

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull - but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.  

When she laughed - and I mean, really laughed - I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.  

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks”. Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.  

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.  

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Best audiobook I've ever listened to

Loved it! I love how each book allows you to hear each characters story from the previous one and the added song was a brilliant touch

Sweet book

Super sweet book with zero drama. They are so cute and nice all the time but the sex is still sexy, so well done Lauren Rowe. Didn't think i would like it since I like at least a little bit if angst but I really like it.
Did not like that the epilogue is like 30 years later. Wierd.
Nice touch with the music. Andi is the best as usual.

THE BEST AUDIO YOU COULD SPEND A CREDIT ON

OMG do I regret not listening to this sooner. Fish is absolutely everything I thought he would be and I adore him.

I love a good Beta hero and Smitten delivered on that. It’s this adorable, swoony, no angst, first love story. Fish and Alessandra are the cutest as they get to know each other through long phone conversations and work through the awkwardness of bring physically intimate with someone for the first time. The way that they love and support each other is *chef’s kiss* I will be re-listening to this one all the time.

Narration: Tim Paige is absolutely perfectly cast as Fish and I love his narration. Andi Ardnt is also one of my favorite narrators.

Bonus is that Lauren Rowe has stepped up her audio game and fully produced songs to go along with the books in the Reed Rivers universe so you get Fish and Alessandra’s hit “Smitten” as part of this audiobook.’

Totally wholesome

Disclaimer, I’ve listen to the audio of this book at least 4 times and each time I’m totally Smitten. This book (audio) is just a lovely reminder easier times/love/connections. Andy and Tim are awesome narrators as always. Thank you truly Lauren Rowe ❤️

Nice book, even greater audiobook

Though it’s a little too Mary Sue/Gary Stu, I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed the sexy and the cute, mostly.

Neither Alessandra nor Matthew seemed to have any flaw at all, and it became a little boring. Sure, I can do without angsty drama but there needs to be at least some tension and conflict. There was barely any of that here. The little there was was resolved quickly. Matthew just knew Alessandra would be talented without listening to her, and guess what, she was. So incredibly so that every celebrity in the vicinity wanted to be part of her rising career even before she released her first song. As for Matthew, he was perfect boyfriend material from the start—even though he had been rejected his whole life. And talk about insecurities !

I wasn’t much troubled with the participation of characters from other books by the same author. They were well introduced and I was never confused.

Beware, cuteness overload ahead. The interactions between Fish and Alessandra were sweet and adorable. Until they weren’t—they sure bring the sexy ! It wasn’t exactly a slow burn, but there was a good amount of wait in their relationship. Once they become physical, it’s hot. Very hot. Though it felt a bit out of character for Alessandra.

The audio is a little treasure. Both narrators are incredibly talented, and cherry on top… there are songs ! It’d have been a crime for a rock star romance not to have any. And they’re catchy. And the cute and the sexy I talked about above ? They deliver it plenty. A nice book, but an even greater audiobook.

Totally smitten

This love story was beyond adorable.
The audio was incredibly done, with wonderful narration performances from Andi Arendt and Tim Paige. I wish all romance audio books were this well done. And the songs... sigh. Totally smitten with Smitten.
