These characters are everything!

Maria Luis introduced us to Owen and Savannah two years ago in Tempt Me with Forever. We've been waiting since the first book the Put A Ring On It Series (Hold Me Today) to find out what is really going on with these two. The wait was excruciating. But once again, we were not disappointed.

Every time I think I've found a new Maria Luis favorite, she blows my mind. She can make a brooding tattoo artist hot and sexy one minute and soft and sweet the next. And her heroines are spot on and strong in their own right.

Like the other two books in this series, she does touch on things that are considered social stigmas and I love how she shows how her characters overcome these bumps in the road.

Wonderful story, wonderful series. Cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve for us next.

I just finished listening to the audio of this and was again reminded what an amazing book this is.

Add Jason Clarke and Aure Nash voicing Owen and Savannah and you get an extra layer of greatness. There were things I had completely forgot about in this book that I enjoyed remembering as I listened (Pablo....if you know you know). I can definitely see myself listening to this one again.

Beautiful, Spicy & Emotional

This was my first Maria Luis book and I enjoyed it so much.

💋 Forbidden (sister’s ex)
💋 Friends to Enemies to Lovers
💋 He Falls First
💋 Tattoo Artist
💋 Powerful FMC
💋 Mutual Pining

This story was a beautiful, spicy, emotional ride. Listening to one of the narrators give an emotional speech almost had me in tears. I felt the agony along with the characters.

Savanah and Owen have incredible chemistry. And although she wants him, she can’t have her sister’s ex. So she rejects him on national television and sends him home, wrecked. Until she shows up months later without a ring on her hand.

Now, they’re just trying to navigate their new normal all while still wanting one another.

I love these characters. They both have a public persona and a self they only truly let the other see. They’re meant to be in every way.

Savannah & Owen

Savannah and Owen are everything! Talk about opposites attract, they couldn’t be more opposite but yet they were perfect for each other. They complimented each other in ways that was only possible due to their differences. But my favorite part was how all in Owen was from the very beginning. I haven’t read anything else from this series to know if more background details are out there, but it starts off with Owen already wanting Savannah and crushed that she kicked him off the reality dating show she was on. When they finally come together, it was so magical and I was so happy for Owen! Savannah had a hard time admitting her feelings due to his past relationship with her sister. I loved how all those events unfolded!

The audio was perfect, Jason Clarke can do no wrong. Listening to him portray the broody tattoo artist who was head over heels in love was *chefs kiss*. Aure Nash is new to be but her southern accent was absolutely amazing for this book. They really made me swoon and made me laugh.

Absolute PERFECTION

Oh my gah!! Savannah & Owen are something special. From the moment they laid eyes on each other, the rest of the world ceased to exist. The perfect southern belle debutant & the tattooed god with a history are the perfect match deep down. They both bring out the absolute best in each other & I adore the way that they both are able to rely on each other to be their calm in the stormy seas. Together, they can face nothing that will break them.

I don’t care how many times I read or listen to this gem…I laugh, swoon, & get emotional. There’s just something about Sav & Owen that has taken ahold of my heart. They are hands down one of my favorite couples in the Maria Luis universe.

This is an excellent end to this series, but I AM excited to get a glimpse of Georgie & Jean ♥️

Audiobook Review:
Oh my…wow!!! Jason Clarke is one of those narrators that you recognize immediately & one that can take a character & own it! He had some big shoes to fill in Owen, be he did Maria & my favorite Harvey twin justice.
Aure Nash is brand spanking new to me, but oh my goodness!!! If she can just narrate every single southern female lead, I wouldn’t be mad. Her passion given to voice this character was spectacular. The way that she portrayed the scenes, the spaceship cat backpack in particular, had me cackling. And her deliverance of the intimate & deeply emotional scenes…PERFECTION!

Loved everything about this!!

Aure Nash and Jason Clarke did a phenomenal job of bringing Owen and Savannah to life. They were absolutely perfect together. I really felt all of the emotions with the characters and felt like I was on the ride right along side of them. This story will make you laugh and cry, but in the end it is all worth it. This will be one I will listen to again and again.

📖 This was my first book by Maria Luis and I will definitely be reading some more! I live in New Orleans and I loved reading a book with my city as the back drop. New Orleans has such a vibrant culture, and Maria really brought that to life in this book. Savannah and Owen start as friends but both feel more, though Savannah feels like she can’t act on that because he previously dated her sister. When Owen makes a very public grand gesture, Savannah crushes both him and herself. But her commitment to her family has always come first, and when she finds herself back in NOLA and next door to Owen, she wants to put herself first. Watching them both struggle through their feelings, hang ups, family issues, and public drama was so rewarding. Owen is absolutely wonderful to her, a tattooed sweetheart. Seeing him bond with her hilarious cat Pablo was also a highlight!!

🎧 Jason Clarke is my absolute favorite male narrator and he sounded amazing in this as Owen. His voice is soooo nice to listen to, he could read the phone book to me and I’d be okay with it lol. But to provide a little more descriptive assessment, his voice his medium pitch for a male voice with a distinctiveness raspiness. He is also able to elevate his pitch and bring a softness to his tone for female voices.
This was my first time listening to Aure Nash and I was really impressed by her. She has a higher pitch for a female voice and used a Southern accent that I found very nice. As someone who has lived most of their life in the South and currently lives in New Orleans I often find artificial Southern accents very irritating, but this one was fantastic! She also managed to show professionalism, sass, nervousness, etc through her voice depending on the scenario.
The other thing I didn’t love about the narration is that the narrators voicing of the other MC didn’t really match up that well. Aure voiced both with very Southern accents while Jason voiced them both without. This is one that I think would have been absolutely killer with duet narration! Otherwise I absolutely loved this audio, both narrators are fantastic!

Amazing Audiobook!!

OMG!! Love Me Tomorrow is heartwarming, witty and romantic. I love hearing Owen and Savannah’s story, it brings to light what actually happen in the first book. Jason and Aure did a wonderful job doing the voices of Owen and Savannah. I love how they captured the character and made them more real. Also, I like how everything comes into place and the story still flows great. This one specifically gave me the feels!! Still one of my favorites story so far!! I can’t wait to hear more of Maria’s books.

I voluntarily leave an honest review of this Advanced Listeners Copy.

Beautiful story with excellent performances!

Love Me Tomorrow is an emotionally complex story with a slow burn friends to lovers and forbidden factors keeping them apart. I really enjoyed how Savannah handles all of the competing priorities in her life with grace and eventually finds her place. It's a beautiful story of finding yourself while not losing others. Owen is an adorably wonderful man with all the sexy for days without being a cocky jerk and I was completely swept up in him.

I'm not a fan of reality TV, and avoid it like the plague, but I couldn't pass up this wonderful story narrated by Jason Clarke and Aure Nash. I'm so glad I took the leap. Aure is fairly new to me (this is book #3), but I have loved her in everything so far. She has a beautiful voice and excellent timing with great variations in voices so you never get lost and wonder who is talking. Jason is a genius performer who is always a favorite. Putting them together for Savannah and Owen's story was brilliance in casting!

Love Me Tomorrow is a delicious friends to lovers, slow burn and Owen and Savannah have stolen my heart. The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts and they both brought out the best in each other. I loved that Owen was always able to see the real her not the act she puts on for everyone. This story made me swoon, laugh and cry and I loved every moment!

Jason Clarke and Aure Nash narrate this book and they were the perfect voices Owen and Savannah. They both did wonderful at tugging on your heartstrings and bringing out the characters personalities. I absolutely loved both of their performances!
