Another great book in the Brentwood Boys Series! I am loving this series and this book was a little deeper than the rest for me so far. I enjoyed the almost love at first sight feel this story had. Harmony and Holt had chemistry and I thought this book was hotter than the others in the series. I will admit the jealousy thing is never something I like in romance and this book had a few scenes of very overdone and uncalled for jealousy drama but even with that I still really enjoyed this romance. I loved how things worked out in the end and when it was over my heart was happy!

The narration was great, both narrators were perfectly cast for these characters.

Brentwood Boys are back!

Quinn knocks it out of the park with Holt & Harmony's story! Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright were perfectly cast for this audio! You will laugh, you'll swoon, you'll smile, and you'll feel all the things through the journey these two take to find their HEA! Im not a huge fan of the cocky jock types (much like Harmony at the beginning of this book!) but Holt soon won me over and this story was so much fun! It has heart, heat, and humor! Can be read as a standalone! Excellent narration!!!

Disappointing storyline.

There are things I liked about Holt and Harmony’s story because it’s a microcosm of young adult experiences and emotions that are quite revealing. I liked their first snarky encounter which revealed his overconfident jock attitude and her sarcastic underdog personality and the addition of Harmony’s best friend and roommate added much needed comic relief to the story. I liked both characters because Holt is a really sweet guy and Harmony finally finds her soft place to fall but when reality intrudes and the sensual bubble they live in pops sh*t gets real. It’s sad that the author chose to have Holt and Harmony’s love devolve into a dark and dysfunctional relationship when there were many other directions this story could have gone and the plot twist was way over the top. I listened to the audiobook and though the storyline was not my favorite I thought both Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright did a fabulous job portraying the confusing and conflicting emotions of their young adult characters. If not for their insightful performances I wouldn’t have been able to finish this convoluted story.

Absolute Must Read!!

This Book Was Absolutely Amazing!! I Loved This Series! The Brentwood Boys Are Laugh Out Loud Hysterical Swoon Worthy And Will Hook You On Page #1!!!

didn't live up to the previous books

first half (ish) was so incredibly crass that it was funny. he is juvenile and rude and very quick witted in a way that was hilarious. both narrators did a great job. MC just became one if my fav female narrators yet. did NOT like the female main character. she is bitter and hateful. unfortunately, by the last third I didn't like the male main character either - unstable, needy, puts the responsibility for the world on himself and doesn't give anyone else any credit, super unattractive traits

The story was okay…

The story dragged out and then felt unfinished. Not my fave of the series. I really
like narrator Conor Crais, but his woman voice is kinda cringy/creepy.

THE STRIKE OUT

This series is one heck of a rollercoaster ride with all the feels. I can't get enough of this series.

I did not see Holt Green coming! I think I have a new favorite in the Towel Brigade!

Well, well, well. I did not see Holt Green coming. I thought he was going to be a shyer guy, a little more reserved given the limited details in the previous books in which he was a side character. Boy was I wrong. Man, the mouth on that guy. Phew. I loved it. He was also so honest, sometimes to his detriment, genuine, funny, and caring. I felt a little like Harmony in that I was gobsmacked by him. It was so believable that they fell so hard and fast for each other. They were such a perfect match, and balanced each other so ideally.

Meghan’s characters always have so much depth. You understand the bad decisions, the things that go wrong. It would be so easy to make the same choices in the same situation. With this, the growth is always so sincere and important to the story, to the couple’s future. Harmony changed the most in this story, but it was a shift in outlook, in perspective, and what’s important. Holt grew as a man. It was a growth of character, not a change in personality. They stayed fun, and playful, and adorable.

Holt and Harmony are the youngest couple in the Towel Brigade to get their HEA, but this couple’s communication, growth, willingness to be what the other needs may be the most mature of all the couples. You believe they will make it work despite the road ahead. I really loved this couple.

Connor Crais, oh my. He was the perfect Holt. He had the perfect fun loving, passion, intensity, and funny aspects to his voice and timing. Seriously, the narration made me love Holt even more. I love Mackenzie Cartwright in a strong female role. She has the perfect tone for Harmony’s personality. They were both so great at each other’s characters and the side chcartacters as well. Fantastic audio!

First impressions are not always correct

We firstmett Holt in Knox's story where we found him being secretive and texting someone he wouldn't tell the other players about. The someone was Harmony. This is Holt and Harmony's story. The meet ugly sets the tone for their relationship as Harmony is constantly distrustful of Holt and consistently puts down his sport, the difficulty he faces in going pro, and how hard he works to maintain his position on the team. She seems to think that just because his family has money and hers does not, that he has everything handed to him on a silver platter. She is extremely closed-minded and looks for ulterior motives in every action Holt does even to the point of sabotaging her own future by refusing the offer of a paid internship from a company that Holt's father owns. I felt like Holt got the short end of this relationship stick. They did end up with a HEA.

This was my least favorite book in the "Towel Brigade".

The narrators, Connor Fraud and Mackenzie Cartwright, did a great job bringing these characters to life.

This is not a jock romance

Holt is a baseball player and a college student getting drunk in a dinner where Harmony waitress to pay the student loans. They have the worst first impression, full of judgmental assumptions and defense mechanisms but they were hooked from the start. Holt is the sunshine, the go getter and the chaser in this book and Harmony is the rational, stubborn and jaded by college players. I never wanted to read, or listen to, college romance because I believe that the characters will be too immature to make the decisions one must make during a romance story but this book and the narrators just grabbed my heart and didn't let go. I laughed so much with Pryia, agreed with Harmony, cried with Holt and ended up wanting to hug all the adults in the book. The narrators brought another level of emotions for me making me cry every time Connor Crais' voice broke during a sad dialogue or shiver when they were whispering delicious things to each other. I couldn't recommend it more.
