So I enjoyed book 1 of this series of interconnected standalone but boy did I love book 2 more! I thought I was going to be annoyed with all the bro’s but the author didnt overdo it this time and the deliveries by the narrations was amazing. I couldnt stop listening to this audiobook, I wanted to stay in this world for a long time, and I am dying for the next book to be in audio because the tension between the 2 characters is SO GOOOD!!!!
Ok back to Jamie and Madison’s love story! I really enjoyed this gripping storyline. This author reeled me in with Wet and that baddie but this one felt even more suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. I needed to know what was going on, I thought I had it narrowed down to the right character and I didnt see one of the twists that came from left field. When it all came together in the culmination at the end, it was so brilliant and I appreciated what the author did. I couldnt believe I could fall for Jamie after how much he felt like an airhead frat boy in book 1. Boy as I wrong. This possessive feelings and his protectiveness were swoon worthy (not that I like men being controlling of women, but with how he handled things and apologized when he overstepped was adorable to me). He definitely has to be added to my book boyfriend list. I loved his good girls I realized I had a praise kink after a couple books, this one being one. I appreciated he wasn’t a complete Dom, but he had some of the best tendencies of them haha. Madison was a great MC and I fell for her so badly, I wanted to be her bestie haha. I was part of theater in high school in stage crew so the theater part brought back memories which were great. I loved her resilience but she is so broken and Jamie helps give her the space and love to put herself back together after she has to fall apart. The steam and love in this one were fabulous and perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. We had some awesome cameos and we get a lot of Ryan and Rory airtime which was fun (and Wes and Max….boy their tension ripples through the pages/bleeds through the speakers!). I think so of my favorite scenes were when Madison meets Jamie’s mom, Jamie going shopping, and how they all interact at the salon and at the end at the party. Really enjoyed this, will be picking this up in paperback at some point because it will stick with me for a long time.
The narration was fantastic. I felt all the hurt and trauma, and the fear, all the tension and angst. The characters were coming off the page with the narrators bringing them to life and putting on great performances. I really don’t have anything that stands out to me to critique and that is saying something haha. FYI I do listen usually 1.5-1.65X speed. I have enjoyed the female narrator with some recent listens and this is the first time I have listened to the male narrator. I definitely will be listening to them again, I enjoyed their intonations, their accents, the feelings they portrayed and highlighted. I think the best example was Madison when she discovers what happened in her room and the aftermath. My heart ached for her but swooned over Jamie and their friends so much ❤️
