About this listen

This spinoff of The Replacement Crush featuring Amy and Toff is sure to melt your heart.

Shy bookworm Amy McIntyre is about to compete for the chance to interview her favorite author, who hasn't spoken to the press in years. The only way to win is to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight, but that level of confidence has never come easy.

The solution? A competition coach. The problem? The best person for the job is the guy she's secretly crushing on...local surfer celebrity Toff Nichols.

He's a player. He's a heartthrob. He makes her forget basic things, like how to breathe. How can she feel any confidence around him?

To her surprise, Toff agrees to help. And he's an excellent teacher. Amy feels braver - maybe even brave enough to admit her feelings for him. When their late night practices become less about coaching and more about making out, Amy's newfound confidence wavers.

But does Toff really like her or is this just another lesson?

I liked that everything fell apart towards the end of the story but then at the very end they sorted everything out and everyone was very happy.
Definitely recommend!!!

I loved how the book was so romantic and how Amy and tuff was so cute together.

A lovely little romance, it was a pleasurable read easy to listen to late at night. Will be definitely looking forward to other titles by this author. ✍️

Refreshing

I have mixed feeling about the performance. It felt like the characters were younger than in the book and I felt uneasy listening to the non-PG scenes. I gave extra star for Artemis Fowl and Surf's UP mentions.

not sure if I hit my age group with this book

Overall - The story was easy to listen to, a light and happy, feel good novel. Nothing WOW about it, but enjoyable still.

Performance - the voice acting was good with clear distinction between characters. My only ick was using a frail/squeaky voice for Amy, the MC, which made her come across as a weaker character than three writing itself implied.

Story - the story had a solid structure and premise. It was a light / feel good read. That said, I did have some issues with a few things. Mainly, why Toff decided to help her in the first place (with the coaching). I wish he had his own motivation / gain from the partnership, because without a real driver of his own, it came across as selfless / altruistic which isn't the most realistic. Imagine if he thought the partnership / fake dating would have proven something to his dad (he's doing fiiiine, even with the upcoming wedding.... Or that he's not all consumed with his plan to go pro)... Something to give him equal skin in the game. I love a good slow burn romance but he felt "too good to be true" which also made his blowing Amy off near the end less believable. Still, I felt that both characters had good backstory, specifically the stuff with Toff's mom.

Thanks for the read / listen!
