Steal a Kiss is the audio equivalent of a cozy hoodie and a pint of your favorite ice cream. This fourth entry in Julia Jarrett’s Vancouver Tridents series serves up all the tropes we love with a side of irresistible narrator chemistry.
AUDIOBOOK Review –
Narrated by Lena Lee and Alexander Neal, this dual narration brought Evie and Rhett’s story to life in such a delightful way. Lena’s soft, heartwarming tone was perfect for Evie’s inner monologue (especially those adorable moments of awkwardness). And Alexander Neal? That southern drawl? Ma’am, Rhett Darlington could read me the major league baseball rulebook and I’d still swoon. Their chemistry wasn’t just on-page—it was in every whispered word and flirty exchange.
TROPES:
Brother’s Best Friend
Secret Roommates (with bonus adorable puppy!)
Forced Proximity
Spicy “I’ll show you how a man is supposed to treat you” Lessons
Dyslexia Rep/Learning Disability Advocate
years of mutual pining
Evie is sunshine with a cause, freshly graduated and ready to save the educational world (but also maybe her puppy from becoming homeless). Rhett is every southern baseball boy fantasy rolled into one—tattoos, heart of gold, and a puppy snuggle monster too. Together, they’re the definition of slow burn meets steam. And while this romance might’ve started as a “keep it secret, keep it casual” deal, there’s nothing casual about Rhett’s sweet, possessive energy.
This story had me grinning like a fool and wishing I could go see a real Tridents game.
