Publisher's summary

The move to World Cup Academy of Gymnastics is the greatest challenge Adrianna has encountered. Punished for Coach Kova’s overwhelming desires, she’s reeling with resentment while she sits out the first meet of the season. As Adrianna fights to regain her focus, he pushes her body to the extreme, leaving her mentally and physically exhausted.

Kova underestimates Adrianna’s endurance, and gravitates more toward her, despite his internal battle raging within to stay away. They try to disentangle themselves, but the tension between coach and gymnast mounts, engulfing them both in a forbidden world of deception and passion.

The one place where they should never feel alive is where they find complete absolution. But one slip, one wrong landing, a missed grip, and everything they built can come tumbling down, damaging both their professional and personal lives.

4.5 Addictive Stars!!

As soon as i reached the end of the Balance audiobook i couldn't wait for the second audiobook so i could experience this story again in this new way! I started listening to Execution as soon as i could and got right back into the Off Balance world! I didn't want to stop listening to it until i reached the end. I loved this listen!

Sarah Puckett has become one of my go to narrators and i was so happy when i found out that she was narrating book two as well! Her voice captured the emotions of Adrianna and Kova in such an awesome way that pulled me into the story even more and I really enjoyed that!

Adrianna and Kova's journey continues! Once again these two had my heart going through it all and feeling every single bit. This story hooks you in such a memorable way. I've fallen even harder for this series again through the audiobooks and that makes me so happy.

With Execution, Ms.Franco has created such a great continuation that'll have you feeling it ALL and then some! These characters and the Off Balance world will be sure to stick with you long after you've stopped listening. I can't wait to dive back into this world again with the third audiobook, Release! I am so excited to listen to more of Sarah Puckett's narration in the near future as well!

Interesting Story

While my heart is breaking for Adrianna, my mind is still thinking why Kova did what he did. You see him trying really hard to get close to her again but at the same time giving her the space she needs. I want him to be redeemable, but it is hard to see that happening. Adrianna is struggling so much with depression and her health. You can feel how lonely she is with how this book is written. While she is struggling mentally you see her striving in gymnastics and getting closer to her goals. I have enjoyed this series so far but my heart needs something good to finally happen for Adrianna. She is getting so far with her gymnastics but has no true love in her life. I hope Kova can finally give that to her in the next book, My heart is needing something good to happen. Leaving off with that last bit of how her mother is the root to all evil well my mind is trying so hard to figure it out. Narrator is making this story come alive and bring the characters emotions even more relatable

My heart is broken

I would never be able to forgive Kova for what he did. I do not know how they can come back from this. Love the story!

Off Balance Series!!!!

Execution (Off Balance, Book 2) continues to push the boundaries between teacher and student. Copious in angst, melodrama and passion swirling through the pages. Secrets revealed in tiers creating a stormy effect. Addictive, beguiling, intoxicating are just three words to describe this audio. The writing style is cutting edge and enslaving. Love, love, love this audio and cannot wait for the next one. The ending of this one may make you faint. With a bombshell dropper ending this one will break your heart.

Narator Sarah Puckett flawless performance brings more to the narrative. I absolutely love her rendition of Coach Kova. Her inflection is flawless, provocative in the right places. Absolutely love listening to her narate this series. Her tone and pace flows through smoothly. Character's are illustrated perfectly and fit what I would picture of them.

This is a longer length audio series and it could go on for hours, days, or years and I would continue to listen to this audio series forever as long as Sarah Puckett is narating it.

I need more!

Another addicting book in this series with a cliffhanger that left me wanting to start the next book asap! This book was so good and I could not get enough of Kova and Adrianna. I also really loved Hayden and the love triangle was chef’s kiss!

Sarah Puckett was fantastic as the narrator and I’m so glad I have the next book to start asap!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfection, perfection!

So, much hurt in this one. The overall story is so deep and so well written. My heart breaks for Anna and I love how mature she is. I don’t think I was this mature at 15! Loved every word in this book! The narration is Amazing. SO good, couldn’t stop listening!
