About this listen
Liam Young has a problem - he's booked a romantic holiday to Rio de Janeiro months ago, but when he breaks up with his boyfriend, all his plans fall apart. Not only is his dream holiday slipping through his fingers, but Liam is sick and tired of getting his heart broken.
Blaine Reed has a solution that can save Liam's plans. Recently divorced, Blaine needs a break, and a couple of stress-free weeks in Rio with a sexy guy like Liam sounds like heaven.
Liam and Blaine hit it off right from the start, becoming good friends even before they've left London. Despite their efforts to ignore the simmering attraction between them, it boils over when they end up sharing a room in one of the most romantic cities in the world.
Being together in Rio is easy, and it's exactly what Liam needs - no feelings, no drama, nobody getting hurt.
Until someone does.
When the holiday bubble bursts, it's up to them to find a way to be together outside of Rio's seductive magic.

Story
It took me nearly 10 years, two tours in Afghanistan, and losing a leg to come to terms with who I really am. Two years after coming back from war, I can say that I'm finally content. I'm as fit as ever, my prosthetic leg allowing me the freedom of moving and exercising as if nothing has changed. I own a small bakery, and I have a loyal circle of friends.Yet, there's something missing. A part of me craves the intimacy, the deep connection to another human being. But another - bigger - part of me is terrified of letting anyone in. My internal conflict didn't stand a chance when I met Jay....

Story
Can two very different men turn an intense holiday romance into lasting love?Jude: I shoot my mouth off and hide behind my smile as I try—and fail—to fill the void inside. Nothing has felt right since I was medically discharged from the army. Can there be more to life than a dead-end job and meaningless hook-ups? Kasper: I didn’t expect to win a Cuffd Destinations holiday, let alone meet a sexy guy who’s fun to be around. Jude doesn’t think he’s a Daddy, but I’m going to prove him wrong. Who knows what we might discover along the way?

Story
In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a lifelong penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send 10 drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman”, so I’d like to die now.

Story
I've always been the shy, quiet one. My best friend, the fun-loving, outgoing one. When she's gone, taken away entirely way too soon, I have to learn how to live. And not just for me, but for her too. I have to live for the both of us. That means doing things I'd never do, stepping out of the shadows to join the rest of the world - taking chances, falling in love, and getting into a little trouble along the way.

We haven't spoken in 15 years, and Marlon is the last person I expected to run into in a bar on Bourbon Street. He's not my gangly internet pen pal anymore; he's all muscles, body hair, and temptation. Our friendship feels like it never faded, but the heat between us is brand-new. We're both in different cities every few weeks, hustling to build our careers and soaking up all the perks of being young, hot, and untethered. But our paths seem to be crossing more and more often.

Wow!!!!
So much to love. Liam and Blaine are great characters. I fell in love with Blaine and wanted to adopt and mother Liam. I have never been to Rio. Teodora Kostova made it seem like I was there. The respect and love she has for the country comes through not only from her descriptions but also with the characters' actions, especially Liam's. Alexander Doddy did a fabulous job. You felt the emotions and the way he was able to convey different characters and the personality in what they said was spot on. Plus the accent OMG I could listen to him all day...sigh.

Deliciously summer-y feelings.
I absolutely loved this story. As the author herself mentions, the city of Rio is as much part of the story as Blaine and Liam, who are great, sunny, positive characters! The whole time listening to this audiobook I was sporting a smile!

I think I need a trip to Rio
I loved the way Liam's and Blain's relationship started. it didn't feel forced to me. The way Teodora described parts of Rio reignited the desire I already had to see Rio. I listened to two of her books back to back because I couldn't get enough. I highly recommend her books!!

Loved it
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I received an ARC in exchange for a review and I loved this book.
Both Liam and Blaine are feeling down. Blaine recently divorced and Liam recently went through a breakup.
Liam is in a bind because his dream vacation is slipping away from him because it is a couples vacation. In comes Blaine to save the vacation.
These two develop a friendship before they even leave for vacation and starts the journey of falling in love.
I felt like I was on vacation with them doing all of the sightseeing. I loved it. You watch them both try to fight the chemistry and feelings but as you and I know, that never lasts.
In the end, they realize thy need to be together and move forward with a huge change in life to be happy. gotta love Rio
I loved this book. I want more of these guys
I loved the narrators voice and brought the book to life

Starts Well - Ends Well - The Middle? Not so much
I had high hopes for Teodora Kostova's 'A Sip of Rio'. Unfortunately, even though I wanted to like this audiobook, it just didn't work for me.
Alexander Doddy's narration was inconsistent, at best. For me, even his narration of the protagonists engaged in sex were boring.
Others clearly disagree with my assessment. You may as well.
