About this listen
Cora and Ronan have been chosen to represent their zones at the Mating Grounds—a genetic diversity breeding program run by the government. Can they choose a mate before their year is up or will they be assigned to someone and lose out on their chance at a love match?
Cora has been homesteading with her family in the wastes for most of her life. After moving to the city and being appalled with her choice in suitors, she’s chosen and sent to The Mating Grounds. Will she be able to find her perfect match or will she be continually disappointed in love?
Ronan is one of the last eligible men in his Zone. When he’s sent away to The Mating Grounds to find a partner, he makes a horrible first impression. Can he overcome his embarrassment and rectify the situation before his ideal girl writes him off for good?
If you enjoy dystopian romances (like Katniss and Peeta’s), a race to partner up (are they your type ‘on paper’?) and a shot of heavy angst, then you’ll love Chosen for You.

Story
I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. So, here goes. We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

He’s rude, mean, and looks at me like he hates me. And I’ve only just stepped into his house. Spending a year of travelling through impoverished places, trying to help people, should make handling Sargent Wolf - yes, that’s his name - a piece of cake. But even Maddox can’t deny that his father is an absolute douche. I’m only here for six months, maximum, before I get my arse back on the road. I’ll just have to stay out of his way and never suggest that he let me draw him naked. No matter how badly I want to.

I had no idea that taking a temp job for the summer would send my life into a tailspin, but that’s exactly what happened when I started working for Jace Ellis. One day I was his secretary, and the next I was sitting on his private plane, wearing an obnoxiously large engagement ring after being asked if I would pretend to be his fiancé for a week. I can admit that greed got the best of me. But the money he offered in exchange for my lie would help out not only me but also my mom tremendously. I just had no idea what I was actually getting myself into.

Never trust a man who answers the front door wearing nothing more than a pair of low-cut jeans and a panty-melting smirk. That should've been my first sign. I write about guys just like him for a living - sexy and charming, yet reluctant to get into a serious relationship. His body screams sex appeal, but his condescending personality makes him a classic f--kboy. And I want nothing to do with that.

In the dark alley of a pub, the words "Please don't" take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her. Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her - melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.

Cora seemed to be both excited and nervous. When she saw Ronan with a mop, she assumed he was "the help" not another Chosen. Yeah, well....never assume. She may have wanted to come across as confident, but in actuality she was rather insecure and unsure of herself. Ronan however oozed confidence in most areas. When it came to interactions with Cora though, he was quick to take responsibility for things I didn't feel were actually his fault. I can understand to a point, but she needed to take accountability for her actions and assumptions (yeah, she did alot of that where he was concerned).
As a whole, I enjoyed the story. Cora's antics bothered me slightly fir Ronan, but he made the choice. The narators did a wonderful job IMO of bringing me into the story and enabling me to get a visual picture of the couple in their year long courtship.
I received this recording as an ARC and after listening I am definately excited to see what the Chosen get up to in Our Year In Cria.

The misunderstanding at the beginning between them was cute. He was moping the floor that he got wet after an early swim. She mistook him for cleaning staff rather than a Chosen. It was cleared up quickly and they were really cute together. I loved when he was teaching her to swim (and he loves swimming so that was something they could do together). She has her insecurities though. This was the shortest story yet and I wish it was longer.
I bought the ebook version of this too and loved the map at the beginning showing the zones and the house where everyone stays in. And I absolutely love all the book covers. The art is beautiful!
Laura Horowitz did another good job bringing this book to life and differentiating the character's voices.
