About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain series, Taking the Leap.

Alexandra Sharp has been crushing on her coworker John “Rix” Hendrix for years. He’s her perfect man, she knows it.

She’s just not his perfect woman, and she knows that, too.

Then Rix gives Alex a hint that maybe there’s a spark between them, that if she takes the leap, she might be able to fan into a flame. This leads to a crash and burn, and that’s all shy Alex needs to catch the hint never to take the risk again.

However, with undeniable timing, Rix’s ex, who broke his heart, and Alex’s family, who spent her lifetime breaking hers, rear their heads, gearing up to offer more drama. With the help of some matchmaking friends, Rix and Alex decide to face the onslaught together....

As a fake couple.

I very much enjoyed this book. The knot in the middle, where I was a little unsure where or what was happening with the male lead, was a little heart rolling. loved this journey with what i feel was a full complete finish.

It’s difficult to find a KA book I don’t enjoy and I am loving this series. Having a main character with a physical disability and the trauma that came with it could have been a challenge and turn the story dark but KA managed to capture the emotional, psychological and physical struggles in a story that was still enjoyable and relatively light. Loved the couple and their romance. Missed Correy but I guess he had no place here. With every book there are more and more people I want to see happy, so there may be about 1000 books by the end of the series. Great performance from both narrators. The only way to improve this is if it was a dual narration.

I’m torn with this book. I loved this couple and their chemistry but I didn’t enjoy the storyline so much. There was too much childish drama and women that don’t value their selves. A great performance.
