About this listen
Up until now, Nicole's life has been mapped out for her. She'd go to college, marry Jake and become the upstanding minister's wife. When she leaves that life to begin again in a small town in Texas, she finally has the freedom to live as she chooses. There, she meets Kent, a guy whose charm and passion make it hard to stick to her morals. Dodging his father's fists and protecting his twin sister made Kent into the man he is today.
He learned by watching his mother stay by his father's side that it's better to keep relationships simple. Then he meets Nicole. Her sweet smile and genuine response to him land like punches to his resolve. After a lifetime of learning to protect his heart, can he finally let down his guard?

Story
One day I was bebopping along, jamming to the music in my head while wondering if my thighs could handle grabbing a cupcake on the way home. The next thing I knew, my entire world crashed and burned. I used to wake up at night in a sweat, crying because I'd dreamt that my husband was cheating on me or that he hated me and resented my kids. He'd always hold me close and tell me it was all just a dream, that he loved me and our family and that he'd never let me go. He was a f--king liar.

It was destiny - the night I met Hudson Demasi. I remember how effortlessly he stole my heart - his dark eyes and quick smile forever etched into my mind. We spent one incredible night together under a haze of tequila - a perfect night. And when I woke the next day, he was gone. I never expected to see him again - especially not five years later standing on a stage in front of thousands of screaming fans as none other than hot, new country artist, Hudson James.

When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world.

I Choose You is one of my FAVORITE reads for 2013
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes and No I would recommend this audio book to friends. I LOVE LOVE the story but the reader Katie just did not do it for me. It was very slow and there were times when I found myself wandering and looking at other things and doing other things. I hate to say this because I have listened to hundreds of audio books and I loved them but there is just something I did not care for with this reader.
This is what I expected from the reader for her to be more like Adam Paul. He is energetic and fun and exciting all in one. He makes me wish I was sitting right in his lap like a kid listening to him read. His voice has this presence to it that grabs a hold of you and keeps you there and wanting no that is not right needing more from him.
What did you like best about this story?
I love the story in general because man this series is SO off the hook that I wanted Bethany to write more!
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
No
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Friends turned lovers
Any additional comments?
I wish Adam Paul could narrate this series!

Ugh. The narration.
I’m going to start this out by saying the story is cute, short & pleasant. The HEA is sweet & the characters are easy to like. That said, the narrator was insulting. She tried her best to make the characters as unlikeable as possible. The women came off as insipid & the men as fun as cardboard. If that’s how she views people from the South she needs not narrate them in the future.

Great Read
I Choose You (Friends & Lovers #2) was a good read by Bethany Lopez. Nicole’s life has been mapped out for her; go to college, marry Jake, and become a minister’s wife. She finally leaves that life to be free in a small town in Texas. She meets Kent, a guy with a lot of charm and passion. After his upbringing he does what he can to keep relationships simple. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
