Bentley was completely adorable!!

Loved this book!! At first I thought it was going to be the standard rom-com format, but it quickly evolved into an engrossing love story with humor, suspense, and quirkiness!! I also loved the dynamic between the three guys: Bentley, Aiden and Maddox. They were as close as brothers and tormented each other the same way:)) it was fun listening to their antics!
I will be listening to this one again!

It was okay

It was okay. Kinda cheesy. Hard to believe someone would go to such extremes just for a land deal. So in the that sense the unbelievable part of this book was the part I struggled with the most.

Not what I expected

This is a good start and not what I thought it would be from the blurb. It was sweet and fun and the narration made it a really good listen.

Did Not Need 2 Narrators

I really enjoyed the book it was much better than I expected. With that being said the female narrator was not needed, the male narrator did a better job. I guess I'm biased since I'm not particularly fond of M. Mitchell's voice (I've tried, but to no avail!). At least there were very few chapters she did. I recommend the book and look forward to the rest of the series.

Typical rich dude sweeps poor girl off her feet story.

The storyline is way overdone but it was still interesting. I liked the male narrator(even tho I’ve never in my life heard somebody pronounce taco as tack-o : ) but the female narrator was poorly cast. She didn’t at all embody an artistic free spirit like Emmy but more like a no nonsense business woman.

Slow story with predictable twist.

Although not the worst story I have heard the plot was lacking of creativeness. The sex scenes were detailed and somewhat sexy. Although somewhat robotic. Wasn’t bad for a free story. Won’t be continuing on to this series.

FANTASTIC!! A Must Read!!

Melanie Moreland writes an Alpha Male just the way I like them. Bentley is controlling and head strong. He’s all business and comes across as rigid.
But he’s also a gentleman and has a heart full of love.

Emmy is light and carefree. She has a laid back, go with the flow personality, and shines with life.

A chance encounter brings two complete opposites together but they soon find out they’re only different when it comes to their social status. Bentley lives a life of wealth and high class whereas Emmy is counting pennies to make ends meet.

From the outside looking in, they’re all wrong for one another but when they’re together, Emmy brings out the charming, passionate side of Bentley, and he discovers that underneath all those smiles and jokes, Emmy is a girl who is hurting and just wants to be truly loved.

These characters were absolutely beautiful. Their chemistry was intense but they approached their attraction to one another with a slow-burn, one step at a time allowing their bond to strengthen into something powerful and one of a kind.

This story was a page-turner. It’s sweet and sassy, yet there is an underlying suspense that keeps you guessing.

I listened to this on Audiobook and highly enjoyed every minute of it!!!

John Lane was the PERFECT narrator for Bentley. His voice is strong and solid and ridiculously enjoyable.

Maxine Mitchell was the narrator for Emmy and gave a beautiful performance. She’s passionate and emotional. You can feel her connection with Emmy and the story.

These narrators together was the perfect treat. They complimented each other and were on point from beginning to end. Two of my favorite narrators!!!

I devoured this book.
This is going to be a FANTASTIC series.

Highly Recommend.

A Nice Stress Free Listen

I listened to the audio book. I liked how formal Bentley sounded. It helped to enhance the description of how formal he was in his dress, mannerisms, and overall character.

There were some witty moments in the book. I liked Emmy's nickname for Bentley. This was an easy listen. I almost immediately knew who the bad guy was in this situation. I was surprised Aiden, Maddox, or Emmy hadn't figured it out. I was surprised Bentley wasn't more suspicious.

After hearing about Emmy's past, I really expected something from her past to crop up when least expected, but it didn't.

There was no "hold your breath" suspense. No huge mystery to solve. Just a kind of easy going romance with likable characters who seem to have paired up in the first book. A nice stress free listen. I would give this book 3.5 stars.
