*Spoilers*
I believe this is the first time I’ve read and listened to this book. I enjoyed it a bit more than the 1st book for some reason. Jamie was an interesting character, and so was Mel. I still found there were a few “roll your eye” moments. I still ended up skipping over the intimate scenes, as I wasn’t exactly interested or comfortable in reading how explicit they were. But I tried with the shower scene and when Mel was exploring Jamie’s chest, but had to skip over it when it got to be a bit too much. It did get rather dark at times. I also didn’t expect one of the people to be a villain. I really liked the cameo mention of Romeo from the Hashtag series, which kind of makes me hope there might be a short story between both series, but I mainly liked the fact that this hinted that three of this authors series are in the same universe – I love cameos like this. I am curious timeline wise on how old Romeo is during this series, but I was relieved to see the word “is” and not “was” when describing him as the best quarterback football player – pretty sure that’s his position – which means he’s still playing and is alive. Besides that, I thought Jamie was wonderful towards Mel with how understanding and protective he was towards her. I liked their banter and his jokes. I find it amusing how he isn’t a morning person. I am curious on what exactly everyone’s going to school for degree wise. Rory is in the photography program, no idea what Ryan is going towards as all I know he does is swim and work out – wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a swim coach or is aiming for the Olympics like Jaime is or is in business or marketing due to his Dad like Jamie is. Jamie is in business because of his Dad, I guess, even though that’s not what he wants to do, but is going to try out for the Olympics. And Mel is in theater but is switching to something else. I thought it was mentioned that Jamie and Ryan met and became friends in college, but from what I gathered, they’ve known each other a lot longer, since their moms have known each other for years and own their own business together. So there are a few loose ends, but overall it was a good book.
*Narration*
I thought the narrators did a fantastic job and fit very well with the characters.
