Cooper North is on point with this narration. Both characters are instantly vulnerable because of his talent.

The book itself is a little bit cliche, specifically the too long paintball scene that was trying too hard to be symbolic but just came off as an eye roller. But, overall, I liked the low angst story, even if the burn was too slow. The 5 star review is really for Kirt Graves who has become one of my favorite narrators. He made the overly obvious parts of the storyline work, narrating in a way that makes the slight hyperbole seem like part of the character’s personality. A less skilled narrator probably couldn’t have managed that nuance.

This whole series is great but this novella is my fave. The story is short but dense and dripping with imagery and emotion. Great writing and narration deserving of its characters. I don’t love spending money on novellas but I’d buy again in a heartbeat.

Really enjoyable read. I appreciated that the love story happened early and the conflict was navigated for the rest of the story as a couple. Iggy Thoma is one of my fave narrators and Alexander Cendese was a perfect pick for Beck. Worth the credit.

Makes you want to root for all of the characters. Sweet and funny and, yes, tragic. Brilliantly narrated.

Just Boring

I listened to the book before this one and was annoyed by the dynamic of the MCs. One patronizing and the other helpless. UGH. This second book was essentially the exact same story as the first… one MC weak and small, the other enabling and patronizing, the first doing stupid stuff to put himself in danger, the other blaming himself because the first was an idiot. Too much mind numbing detail about the hospital (yes, we get it that the author did proper research, but this book was in dire need of an editor) and too much noise from extraneous characters. Just a lot of unnecessary time spent on filler BS that did nothing to enhance the narrative. 👎🏻👎🏻

Both books are excellent but the last three chapters are the ultimate HEA. I listen to them over and over.

Such a lovely story, and beautifully written. This narrator is perfect for the tenor of this book. And the baseball deets are brilliant… beyond the typical sports romance that glosses over specifics just enough for the reader to buy in. This author either loves baseball or knows someone who does. It’s as much a love story about the game as it is about the MCs.

Steamy moments are definitely secondary to the story so look elsewhere if you want graphic bedroom scenes.

Riley Hart is hit and miss for me. But when she hits, it bowls me over. Introspective and poignant. Disarmingly complex. Sweet and fiery. Layered and nuanced. And John Solo has officially made it to the top three narrators I’ve ever heard. This performance was really heart stopping. Jacob Morgan and Christian Fox have serious competition in this guy. Sheesh.

Really a lovely story all around and this narrator is EXCELLENT. I’ve never heard him prior but the breadth of this performance is impressive. Outstanding throughout the whole series.
