Publisher's summary
"What lies beneath my veiled perfection is the ugly truth - my truth, my reality, my destiny."
Vivian Graham has an acceptance letter into Harvard, a badass tattoo, loyal friends, ties to marijuana, a penchant for Dunkin' Donuts, and her pesky V-card.
Everyday she takes the Red Line to her job at The Green Pot in Boston, while her friends enter the coveted, black iron gates to higher learning. The ramifications from a tragic accident have put her life on hold while time marches on for everyone around her.
After graduating from Harvard Law, Boston native Oliver Konrad moves to Portland to start his career and his life. Three years later, after a horrific discovery, he returns home to trade in his three-piece suit for leather work boots, and his suburban home for a condo in Cambridge.
All he brought back to the East Coast was an aversion to pillows, and secrets he keeps hidden behind a mysterious locked door. Oliver's days are predictable and his nights are lonely, until he meets Vivian on the subway. Her long raven hair, green eyes, and mile-long legs are achingly sexy, but the way she "innocently" fingers and licks her Boston Kreme doughnut can only be described in two words - complete torture.
When their paths cross at every turn, laughter is abundant, friendship is easy, and love is unintentional. However, their future seems improbable.

Story
I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car. I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying. I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them. I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone. I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance. I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man. There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away. When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Story
The summer before fourth grade, Colten Mosley moved into the house across the street from mine, and we became inseparable. He played the piano and baseball. I had a penchant for dead things while at the same time imagining what it would be like to kiss Colten. We were filled with curiosity and overly active imaginations. We were also forbidden to be more than friends. But that didn't stop us. Weeks before graduation, he annihilated my heart, and it's been seventeen years since the day I knew I'd hate him forever.

Conspiracies. Corruption. Serial killers. You name it - I'm fascinated by it. My mom always blamed my overly curious and highly suspicious mind on my dad. My incredibly overbearing dad. Mr. No One Is Good Enough For My Daughter has been terrifying my dates since I turned 15. College is my chance to be free from his control and date any guy I want. I'm absolutely certain he would hate Slade Wylder - almost as certain as I am that I do too. Since when have I shied away from trouble? Slade fascinates me. He lives in a house I'm certain is haunted.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

The better captured me; she's who stole my heart and made me realize I couldn’t live without this woman. The worst of her took my breath away - kicked me when I was down and twisted me into a million knots. When I first met her, I thought she was someone I would never see again. The second time I ran into her, it was a random coincidence. The third? I didn’t know it at the time, but she was the girl I was going to marry. But life isn’t always perfect. You have to take the better and the worse - even if it means giving her up.

I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

So there I was, on a stage with two other men, being asked ridiculous questions by a woman I couldn't see, but whose voice made my pants tighten - and not around my ankles. Before I knew what was happening, I'd signed up for six weeks in paradise, isolated on an island for 42 days with a complete stranger. And when I finally laid eyes on the sexy brunette who belonged to that voice, a part of me thought this wouldn't be so bad.

Before senior year, I was forced to move away, leaving behind the only man I have ever loved. He promised he'd love me forever. He vowed nothing would tear us apart. He swore he'd wait for me, but Jack lied. Six years later, when our paths cross again, his broad shoulders, rock-hard chest, and rippling muscles almost make me forget his betrayal. His rugged voice, tempting lips, and sinful smile make it harder for me to deny the feelings I still have for him. He wants to make me his again, but our past may be too much for us to overcome.

Any additional comments?
Lovers of angst-filled, new adult romances will not want to miss this gem. Reminding me of one of my favorite writers, Colleen Hoover, Jewel E. Ann grabs your attention from the very beginning and keeps you enthralled throughout. I love stories like this where you know that there are some deep dark demons lurking in the past that are prohibiting the main characters from finding their HEA, but you don't know exactly why. Reminiscent of a romantic suspense title (without the action scenes), Idle Bloom kept me guessing throughout as I slowly was able to decipher clues as to the pasts that kept haunting the hero and the heroine and as to whether they would finally be able to exorcise these evils by finding a new meaning of life with each other. Moreover, the superb narration by Aubrey Vincent and Marcio Catalano make this a natural title to experience in audiobook format.
Vivian Graham is living a lie. Although she was accepted to Harvard, she has been deferring her admission for two years (a secret she is keeping from her parents). Instead, she spends her days working for a shop that sells marijuana for medical purposes, riding the T to and from all the while enjoying her favorite weakness (Dunkin’ Donuts). She is basically sitting idle in a world that continues to evolve around her, including watching her childhood best friend complete his own Harvard degree. What could possibly cause someone to defer her dreams while standing by and watching others conquer theirs?
Oliver Konrad has already completed his Harvard degree (a law degree), but has traded in the corporate perks of firm life to go back home and become a manual laborer working for his brother's landscaping business. Meanwhile he maintains no social life to speak of, instead preferring to lead a solitary life. What could possibly cause someone to quit a successful law career and give up everything they have worked hard for to return home and become a recluse?
Both Vivian and Oliver have resolved themselves to a life of loneliness, but when they meet there is something deeply reminiscent of themselves in the other. Fight though they try, they little by little find themselves opening up to one another. But can two scarred souls possibly find healing love in one another?
Aubrey Vincent and Marcio Catalano narrate Idle Bloom in the typical new adult fashion with Ms. Vincent narrating the chapters from Vivian's point of view and Mr. Catalano the ones from Oliver's. This style works well for this book as it adds a natural divider between the thoughts and experiences of these two individuals that we slowly learn about as the story takes its course.
Both Ms. Vincent and Mr. Catalano do a good job of providing distinguishable voices for each one of the various characters. I particularly enjoyed Ms. Vincent's portrayal of Vivian which I found directly on point. Sounding just like a young adult, and baring a certain sense of vulnerability all the while maintaining great strength in unimaginably adverse circumstances, I highly enjoyed Ms. Vincent's narration and felt like it added to the appeal and heart tugging strings of this emotional story.
All in all, I highly recommend Idle Bloom to romance listeners that enjoy new adult themes. Moreover, whether you're a fan of audiobooks or haven't yet tried one, this romance has a great narration making it a good choice to pick up in audiobook format.

Great book--fun, sexy, and serious
Would you listen to Idle Bloom again? Why?
I'd listen to Idle Bloom again mainly because I enjoyed the story. I also find that on a re-listen, I pick up a lot more details in the story than I did the first time around.
What other book might you compare Idle Bloom to and why?
Idle Bloom made me think of the author's upcoming release, One because the characters also have some big issues to deal with from their past but the book overall is fun and hopeful.
What does Aubrey Vincent and Marcio Catalano bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Ms. Vincent and Mr. Catalano brought Viv and Oliver to life. Their animated narration was very entertaining. They made Viv and Oliver's banter feel real.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
While there were plenty of tear-jerker moments, more than anything this book made me laugh. Oliver and Vivian's banter is pithy and the comic situations they get into are funny.
Any additional comments?
Idle Bloom by Jewel E. Ann is a new adult romance. This fabulous, moving story is told in dual POV. Both main characters are interesting and complex. They have an air of mystery about them, as you know something big has happened in the past. The past is revealed in bits and pieces as each is forced to deal with the horrific events that shaped their lives.
“Lost is a state of mind. You’ll find yourself when you acknowledge you’re exactly where you need to be in this moment.” --Vivian
Vivian Graham thinks of Oliver Konrad as her visual indulgence when she ogles him on the morning commute train through Boston. He and his handsome player-of-a-brother, Chance, are working as landscapers and handymen even though Oliver is meant to be doing something else with his career. Their great upbringing in a loving, open family has shaped them into kind, thoughtful and courteous men.
Vivian’s svelte body, emerald eyes, and long raven hair make her delicious to look at, however, she has no time for dating nonsense. She has plans, and those plans include getting her business degree from Harvard and then taking over the world of commerce. Even though her past has left her damaged, she remains hopeful and optimistic.
“I hope every day you take each other’s breath away. I hope every kiss feels like the first but ends like the last. I hope you always see the best versions of yourselves reflected in each other’s eyes. But mostly, I hope you wake up every morning next to each other because there’s no place in this world you’d rather be, instead of having nowhere else to go. May you always be each other’s home.” --Vivian
The secondary characters were fully developed and instrumental to the story. I adored Oliver’s parents and Vivian’s friends Alex and Sean. Vivian’s parents seemed like a throwback to the 1950s, but overall well-meaning parents. Vivian’s best friend from childhood, Kai, is the kind of self-centered person who sucks your battery dry. For the life of me, I cannot fathom why Vivian remained friends with him.
I loved Oliver and Vivian together. Their banter is pithy and funny. They’d be hilarious at a dinner party! Their chemistry is over the top. Was there angst? Yes. At times it was believable, and other times it seemed to require a bit of a stretch of the imagination. Once these two kids gave up the idea of “not dating”, their antics together are quintessential rom-com, and their intimacy is hot, hot, hot erotica.
The unconventional HEA is perfect for these two characters. Their lives will no longer be defined by their past. Their choices will not be defined by societal expectations. Their devotion to one another will defy gravity as they lift one another up over and over again.
The audiobook is fabulously narrated by Aubrey Vincent, Marcio Catalano

A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY SET IN THE DEBRIS OF HEARTACHE & PAIN
This book packs so many feels into its storyline... secrets, heartache, passion, pain, heartbreaking dilemmas, friendship, dirty talk and hot sex, lust, forgiveness, patience, understanding, sorrow, humor, smooth banter and a love that transcends emotional turmoil and blooms into an unpredictable, indestructible and all consuming love.
Handsome 29 year old Oliver is afraid to look back or to look forward - he's just stuck in the here and now.. in grief and turmoil silently crying out from the earth shattering pain that he endured three years previously and is still haunting him now. Vivacious, fun-loving, beautiful and innocent 21 year old Vivian is also emotionally damaged and scarred but she's grasping onto life happy in the knowledge that she will never experience what so many other women experience in life because of her physical scars. She has insecurities but is happy with where her life is taking her - she feels safe to daydream about love and sex because she's sure they will never blossom into anything more... until she sees, then meets, Oliver and together they share their vulnerabilities, form an unbreakable connection, heal each other's heartbreak, learn to forgive and find happiness in each other's arms.
But it's not without its roller coaster of emotional events and dramas that will tug at your heartstrings at one point or another as the clues to Oliver's pain are slowly revealed and as Vivian tries desperately to help him overcome his loss. There's also Oliver's jealous side that morphs into rage when Vivian's male best friend is around because Oliver knows he comes with baggage and is no good for Vivian and yet he just can't stay away or let anyone else have her. It's a beautiful love story set amidst the emotional debris of a terrible tragedy that time is not healing - it's between two people who really get each other, empathize with each other, can't keep their hands off each other and deeply love one another. Told from both POV's and both narrators are great at bringing to life all the characters, emotions and heart of this amazing story.
Worth a credit? Oh 100% YES and I've liked other Jewel E Ann books before... but this one, well this one is simply unforgettable.

Just ok...not her best
I really struggled to continue reading and finish this book ... there was so much mushy love back and forth ...then he either kicks her out or she does ...then mushy 'devoted ' love....then repeat .. :/ argh!
Then the narrators are portraying their characters (and their female or male versions) either as sappy or as weak .
This was NOT my favorite J.E.A book, which is sad bcuz I've read her 'day's books and 'One', and those were amazing books !

LOL and heartbreak- A must read!!!!
This book was highly entertaining. From the beginning the characters snarky banter kept me smiling. I never LOL but so did with this book. 2 tortured souls, one way more than the other, find themselves in each other. While there is sadness, the humor far outweighs the rough patches. Simply adorable characters with great narrations.

Loved it
Jewel E Ann wrote such a beautiful love story filled with humor and heat and honesty. I really loved it. Vivian Graham is a tough chick. She is open and completely accepting and has some hilarious characters built around her to prove it.
Oliver is closed and hurt and angry at life and refuses to move on but once his walls start to come down you see that he is really sensitive and observant and completely aware of Vivian.
Put them together and it is bound to be an explosive love story.
Aubrey and Marcio were great narrators for this story. Aubrey is new to me and I can't wait to listen to more evil Marcio is a veteran to me and I know what to expect from him and he never disappoints.
