Publisher's summary

“Sometimes love happens when you least expect it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about their affair.

I didn’t believe it until five minutes later when mouthwatering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike.

Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different. He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine - or six.

Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you least expect it....

So does heartbreak.

4.5 Simmering Stars!

This was a great audiobook! The narration was fantastic. Both narrators had perfect timing! I love it when you can't even tell their reading, but instead telling the story.
This book grabs you right out of the gate with some pretty shocking events.
Tanner and Rita meet out of happenstance and he is generous enough to play along with Rita's ruse.
I was laughing out loud at their banter and Tanner's persistence in trying to get Rita to go out with him. I found these two to be absolutely charming. It's an emotional story for sure. <3

The ending was perfection, epilogue was fantastic

I adored Aly Martinez's Darkest Sunrise Duet and counted it on my Favorites of 2017 list. So I was v. excited to read Across the Horizon, the story of Tanner and Rita, two characters from the Darkest Sunrise Duet. The author is known for her angsty love stories and she's one of my favorite one-clicks. I adored both Tanner and Rita, and loved them together even more. They had the best witty banter and fantastic chemistry! The ending was perfection, only to be topped by the fantastic epilogue. A must read! Emma Wilder is a long-time favorite of mine and I loved her performance. This is my second time to hear Troy Duran and I am adding him to my favorites list- his performances are fantastic!

Absolutely fabulous

Both the story and the narrators was worth the 5 stars overall.
This was fun, soul searching and steamy. I’m definitely going to buy a lot from this author.

The writing style is easy and fun but also has some deeper meaning. Rita’s journey to her inner self is absolutely entertaining and I can relate to her in so many ways.Tanner is persistent but is that enough????

I love the storyline 💜

Well written characters and the banter between them was hilarious.

Steamy hot scenes that had me fanning myself 🔥

Narrators is excellent, pronunciation is clear and they read with feelings.

I truly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

Tanner

So many feels. Tanner is THE MAN. Him and Rita are wonderfully snarky together and absolutely get each other. I like how it had Porter and Charlotte, but it left their drama in their story.

Loved It

I so enjoyed listening to this book. The male voice mesmerized me and kept me listening. The female was fair. I just did not like the writers version of her. The story was good but I don’t think it’s going to be one I listen to again because of the female narrator. All performance points go to him.

The BEST... story and narration!

These two narrators, Emma Wilder and Troy Duran, were the BEST together! Rita goes through some pretty crappy major life changes in the opening scene and lasting through the book. Emma Wilder seemed to channel all those feelings right there in her voice, in the emotions she gave off... it was magic! Tanner, oh Tanner, I feel like we really got the see him mature in this book. I heard it in every work Troy Duran uttered. His sexy, gravely voice spoke to me... and I felt myself blushing!

What is it about the 7 year itch in marriages? I don’t get it. Seven years into marriage and people think they need to get some strange. Rita is living this life now. After 7 years of marriage, it’s all over. I really appreciate the strength and support that Rita’s friend gave her during her heartbreak. But Rita is one strong lady. She doesn’t just take this sitting down. She doesn’t break and I was just so impressed with her strength. Tanner is completely adorbs and I could have gobbled up with white knight personification.

However, these characters could not have been more different. Perhaps that’s what made them so amazing. Across the Horizon is incredibly swoony and sweet, all while being fun. I loved the different feels you get in this book. It’s completely across… the horizon. I just adored the fight they had in them. Life isn’t easy and stuff doesn’t just fall on your lap. Tanner and Rita have received that memo and they handle everything as it comes in.

Perfection

I am such a huge fan of Aly Martinez and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. Not only was this story amazing the narrators were perfect and really brought the story to life. If you are audio fan I highly recommend listening this book, you will not be disappointed.


Tanner is a chef but lately has been doing more cooking on a show instead of in a kitchen. He has a booming career but is not where he wants to be in his life. Everything changes when he meets Rita. She is everything he wasn’t looking for.

Rita has just recently found out her husband was cheating on her and filed for divorce. She has a lot on her plate and is not looking to start anything new. Love happens when you least expect it.

I loved Tanner and Rita’s story. They had chemistry that was off the charts. I loved that Charlotte and Porter were in this book. If you haven’t read the duet about them you should. If you love a good second chance romance you will love this Across the Horizon.

Emotion leaps off the page.


My favorite stories are the identifiers. Stories that carry a sense of truth that is relatable and raw. Characters that inspire by example and authors who are not afraid to expose their heart even at the worst moments. Across the Horizon is a compilation of fate, love and heartbreak. Martinez peers into an aching heart and a second chance at a surprising time. Emotion leaps off the page and pulls at your heart. Rita and Tanner are a match made in heartache, but healed by love.

This girl is a huge fan!

Easily a 4 star listen! Aly Martinez wrote such a beautiful story of second chances and starting over. Each of the main characters were instantly likable and easy to connect to. Watching them learn to love themselves after they thought their lot in life was determined and final was so addictive. The chemistry was off the charts and the emotions were on high! Loved loved loved! The narration was wonderful as well. The delivery really painted a picture in my mind while I was listening and made connecting with everyone that much better.

Big fan and definitely one I will listen to again and again!

Taking a chance on love!! Highly Recommend!!

Oh my goodness, yes!!
This book was beautiful. I absolutely needed this. Tanner and Rita were the perfect couple. Timing was not on their side but they aligned perfectly.
This story is lighter than what Aly normally writes but it still had all the feels and gave me butterflies in my tummy.
It was the perfect story for Tanner. He’s charming, sexy, funny, and all around a really good guy. Seeing him find the one woman who balances him was so rewarding.
These two together made me laugh too. They have the funniest conversations and say the silliest things to each other and I loved how close they were.
Great start to my listening for 2019.
This was my first time listening to narrator Troy Duran and I really enjoyed his performance. I’ve listened to Emma Wilder once before but for some reason her performance in this story was so much more memorable.
These two nailed it and kept me invested from start to finish.
Definitely recommend!!!
Absolutely recommend.
