About this listen

Flood waters aren't the only dangerous current in the Rockies—Riley Robinson's attraction to the just-passing-through Ana Potrero is immediate and mutual. Some wine, some laughs, some passion—and no strings. Perfect, right?

When Ana proves to be far more complicated, amusing, and appealing than one night could ever fully explore, Riley can't believe she let Ana slip through her fingers. A second chance brings all the intense pleasures of their first encounter, but the realities of dating, distance, ex-lovers, and family could turn sweet, sweet wine into bitter dregs.

Contains mature themes.

I was looking forward to listening to this. And I did enjoy it, but I found the character of Riley quite annoying at times. The fact that we had to wait until the last thirty minutes to begin to understand what made her tick, I found a tad frustrating. Prior to that I was puzzled as to why she threw herself into relationships then struggled to believe that the other person was as invested as she appeared to be. Having said that, it was a reasonably engaging story told by one of my favourite narrators, so it wasn’t hard to keep listening.

Frustrating.

really great story lines of a woman on a hiking holiday who starts a romantic interlude with a fellow guest, really great characters all the way through and really brilliant narration

Another review mentions it's a frustrating read, and it's not wrong. The characters aren't particularly likeable, least of all Riley who's pov we get.
Despite never seeming to leave much more than a week between relationships, she seems incapable of letting herself be fully invested in a relationship. It doesn't stop being annoying and any revelations that happen don't really explain why.
I also don't understand why we had to spend so much time in flashbacks of Riley's previous relationships, when this was seemingly the story of Riley and Ana. It gave us some context, but it did not need to be so extensive in order for us to understand.
Craden, as usual, provides a great narration with the material she's given.

Abby Craden is one of my favourite narrators. I enjoyed the range of voices she achieved.
We were very much inside Riley’s head as the writer to and froes the reader between her consecutive relationships as a warm-blooded straightforward young woman. Tension runs through the novel as the reader is constantly having to work out which relationship is the truest and which is cheating falsehood. Riley expresses true and faithful friendship which makes the novel so enjoyable and satisfying to read.

Tension!

Normally love Jaime’s books but this one wasn’t one of my favourites. It was fine, but I wasn’t really too sad when it finished. Maybe a bit PG for my liking, in comparison to some of her others.

Narration was great as always by Abby.

It was ok
