Story4.5 out of 5 stars 975
Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape. But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 729
I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance. But Los Angeles is full of hot young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd. So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—good-bye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin. "Liam" and his talent with accents is enough to get my foot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.

A masterpiece! I had to make myself stop listening to get my work done and I also didn't want it to end so I wanted to savor it at the same time! Bravo Deanna! So thrilled you expanded your creativity into modern times. Jane and Christina did a magnificent job with the character voices. Its been a long time since I have listen to a book that was just PERFECT!

Loved every minute of this book, very intelligent action and story line! LJ needs to chain herself to her writing dungeon and get us the next installment! I know she didn't write it as a series, but it would be wonderful if it was! More adventures of Jack and Blade please.

Loved this book! So many emotional layers that fit together in a wonderfully crafted story. It was an exquisite journey, but not sappy, which I really appreciated. Very well done Ms Dolan and Brittany was spot on with all the voices and French pronunciations.

As a child of the 60/70s I loved how this exquisite coming of age story spoke of different aspects I could deeply relate to. Such wonderful detail woven into a story I could not stop listening to. Each detail mattered to the unfolding drama. Well done Jessica Blau!

Like a train wreck you can't look away from I could not stop listening. The story of Jane was extremely well written and had a lot of depth. It covered a lot of difficult subjects that we all face and was very believable. I really got sucked into the storyline, understanding Jane's and the other charters journey with out it being sappy or overstated as some stories are. There were some really laugh out loud scenes that fit perfectly. I truly enjoyed this one. Xe Sands did a wonderful job with the portrayal of each character as usual! Excellent Narration.

Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m 35 years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity. But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me. Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up again. Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.

Flynn & Wolff did an excellent job of co-authoring this book! Lots of depth in characters, story lines and outcomes. I didn't want to stop listening. They tackled some tough family dynamics with an authentic voice where you felt the full weight of the issues & continued the story lines with a sense of authentic and sometimes surprizing resolution. This is one I will listen to again.
