About this listen

A sexy, hilarious, emotional new romance from New York Times best-selling author Emma Chase.

Connor Daniels never thought he’d be starting at dating square one again. His career as a successful doctor, and his three boys, are everything to him. It’s not exactly a setup conducive to a scorching love life - but he’s giving it a shot.

ER nurse Violet Robinson never intended for Connor to find out she’s had a crush on him forever. It was a dirty little secret only meant for her dirty dreams. Her heart trips every time he’s around - and so do her feet.

When Connor sees Violet coasting across the grocery store parking lot - and she falls on her face - he starts falling for the gorgeous young nurse right back.

Dating can be tricky. And life can be beautiful and crazy and unpredictable. But when it gets real, you discover what matters most...and the one person you want loving you through it all.

Another great love story.

I am a big fan of this series and Getting Real is a wonderful addition. It is a funny, witty, emotional, and loving story about second chances. We meet Connor in his brother Garrett‘s book, and now we finally got to see him meet his perfect match in Violet. Violet is a amazing woman with so much to give who is fits right into the Daniels family. And as always Andi Arndt and Zachary Webb were perfect.

Best narrators

Both narrators did a fantastic job, esp Zachary as he portrayed each son and their kid sarcasm, whining and bickering. Fun to listen to. The writing was excellent and I found myself chuckling in many spots. “Jesus take the wheel, and make it a convertible so you can whack Connor in the head with a low lying branch!” The story is good, with a beautiful romance, lovable kids, drama and angst, bumps in the road, but leading to a warm HEA.

I never laugh so much when listening to a book. While driving I was listening and found myself laughed so hard. People in the lane next to me thought I was crazy. Connor and Violet were so natural. The narrators were the best. Both Andi
Arendt and Zachary Webber made the book so warm and perfect. Thanks to all of you.

Perfectly written!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I couldn’t help myself. I’ve listened to hundreds of audible books and this one landed at #1. It’s the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor, realistic relationship building, steamy erotic scenes, and characters you love and can’t wait to fall in love. These two narrators are my ultimate favorites and did a remarkable job as usual. All these together sum up the perfect book! I highly recommend to all!

Connor & Violet!

Talk about a book that has it all! A handsome doctor who is amazing with his kids, a quirky ER nurse to brighten his life and a couple of crazy brothers to add humor and fun to an incredible story! Connor is divorced with custody of his boys. He doesn't have time for a relationship, but when push comes to shove with a few sly matchmakers, he and Violet get to know each other. And they are the perfect match! But insecurities, past loves and life all create the havoc that gives us not only tragedy but love and laughter. Emma Chase had me enjoying this book from start to finish! It's a fantastic addition to the series.

With a story like this, narration is key. And the pairing of Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt is perfection. I think this may be my favorite Webber narration. From dad voice to lover, he is humorous and emotionally charge. Arndt plays Violet with all the feelings and a relatable voice. Their storytelling just added that extra layer of goodness to this already amazing story.

Emma, Zachary and Andi are pure gold together!

Getting Real is the third book in the Getting Some series by the talented Emma Chase. I feel like I waited forever for Conner's story and let me tell you. It was totally worth it. I listened to the audio and all I can say is wow! Emma's writing paired with Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt was just pure gold. I started laughing within the first five minutes and I didn't want to stop listening. This book has everything I love in a romance. Single dad, family and friends, hilarious kids, smart, beautiful leading lady and a second chance at love. Conner and Violet work together at the hospital, he's a doctor, she's a nurse. They have secretly noticed each other and when a set-up brews behind their backs, they become friends and then more. Conner is juggling work, his three boys and trying to learn how to date. He makes some mistakes that had me laughing out loud, but he's such a good guy that I didn't stay mad at him and neither did Violet. When he finally gets it together, it was totally worth it. He's attentive, sexy, fun, smart and such a good dad. Violet loves everything about him and understands his need to be with his kids and what he goes through in the ER. Sometimes it takes a near tragedy to put everything into perspective. Every day is a gift and you can't waste a single minute of it. Dear Lord. I couldn't love this book more. This might be my favorite Emma book and it is definitely one of the best audio books from Zachary and Andi. They were just on fire!

A TOP FAVORITE AUDIOBOOK OF 2021!

November 2, 2021

Getting Real series: Book 3
Interconnected Standalone
Small Town Contemporary Romance
Narrators: Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt

Please let me introduce you Dr Daniels! A 40+ yr old hero who is the most amazing single dad of three boys. He's also an incredible lover and sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of his girlfriend Violet. He's very big on open communication in their relationship and always encourages her to be honest with what she wants even if she's afraid he may want something different.

Sigh! Swoon! Heart eyes! This level of maturity in a hero is apparently what gets my motor going. So darn sexy!

I have given every audiobook in this series 5 stars but this one is now my favorite! It's heartwarming and filled with humor and steam. The added bonus of being able to relate to the medical references/ jokes which were just so spot on was just the icing on top of the cake.

The e-book and paperback will release in January and I'm sure those formats will be good. HOWEVER, I cannot stress how much I recommend this in audio format! Hello! Otherwise you would be missing out on the laid back sexy voice of Zachary Webber. Yes I'll be dreaming of that voice tonight. You can thank me later!

Best Lakeside story yet! I laughed, cringed, cried.. all of it. I enjoyed this story so much. Absolutely amazing. Andi did great as usual but Zachary was phenomenal. His performance on this one may be my favorite of his that I’ve heard so far.

12/10 recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved it!

I have loved everything I’ve ever read by Emma Chase so I had high expectations for this book and it totally delivered. You don’t have to read Getting Schooled or Getting Played before reading this book, but if you have you will recognize some familiar characters. This is the story of Connor, the divorced single father and ER doctor who hadn’t given up on love and the younger ER nurse,Violet, who has had a crush on him for years. Their story is romantic, steamy, charming, and fully believable. I love these books because they are low angst, high heat, sometimes dramatic, and always with a satisfying HEA. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber were perfectly cast and absolutely did the story justice and made this a 5-star listen for me.
