Publisher's summary

From the mean streets of Detroit rises the newest superstar of professional wrestling, Xavier Cold, better known as Phenomenal X. His muscular physique makes men cower before him and women lose their minds with desire. Anna Cortez is fresh out of college and naïve to the harsh realities of the real world. Tired of living under the thumb of her conservative family, she defies them when she accepts a job as the assistant to wrestling's most notorious bad boy. Phenomenal X has an animalistic nature that even good girl Anna finds hard to resist. Forced to share a bed in a sold-out hotel, lines blur between them, and they quickly learn that one lustful night changes everything. Neither one of them will ever be the same. Contains mature themes.

Incredible Story, Where's Book 2?

Any additional comments?

The story of X and Anna brings us to how love can conquer all but in this case their story is incomplete. I hope MV is presently writing Book 2 and publishes it soon. This is one of several books by other authors that have left me hanging and I'm still waiting for the follow ups.

Great female narrator!

Phenomenal X is an engaging story with a slow burn to love. The tale brings the hero Xavier and heroine Anna, within each other's orbits until finally their lives are so entwined they are unable to resist or avoid one another.

I enjoyed everything about this story based in a world of people involved in televised, choreographed wrestling. Everything, that is, until the end when Xavier does something disappointing. I lost my interest in him at this point. But it’s the end of part 1 of 2 and he has a chance and the strength of character to make things right in part 2. So I'll continue onto book 2 XAVIER COLD.

What MADE this story for me was the narrator, Alexandria Wilde. She injected warmth into the story, voiced the heroine as someone you can love, and the hero as someone who can raise your body temperature. The heroine’s family who are believable secondary characters are well written also. The competitive secondary characters in the wrestling world were a bit over the top, but not unlike wrestlers’ personas as seen on TV. They provided a colourful element to the book. Narrator Sean Crisden was good also although his role was smaller. Without the Audible experience of the good narration, I'm not sure I would have been a fan of this book.

I can only hope that part 2 XAVIER COLD will be as good as part one. PHENOMENAL X will be a hard act to follow.

cliffhanger

the story was okay, just getting good and then it ends in a cliffhanger... I give low stars due to that when it's not explicitly said in the story it ends in cliffhanger

Loved this!!!

This was such a great love story. Xavier was a perfect book boyfriend. My only complaint which is minor is the male narrator sounded too young.

Awesome Book!

I am so pissed right now! I cannot believe the second book isn't out... What a freaking cliffhanger! Urgh!!!! I hate listening to an awesome book that has me so involved then Whamp!!! Cliffhanger....

And the Cliffhanger in this one... OMG!!! Seriously.... Second book.... Instant Download!!!

X is superstar wrestler from extremely bad origins... but he meets the sweetness thing on an airplane and their romance/friendship start from there. I totally enjoyed all the sweet moments between these too... I am actually glad they moved from friends to serious so quickly... it kept the story going.... I feel like it would have start dragging if they angst played out for too long... But the ending...OMG! I can not believe the story just ended like that... Seriously!!!!


Good Narration... I am not one for dual narration...but I was still worth a good listen.

Good credit or sale....maybe not a buy!

Loved this book!!! Phenomenal!!

Would you listen to Phenomenal X again? Why?

Yes, it was entertaining .... and it was an easy listen.

What other book might you compare Phenomenal X to and why?

I think this one stands alone. I have read other MMA books ... but this one is a favorite.

What does Alexandria Wilde and Sean Crisden bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Sometimes I do not care for dual narration. It worked with this book. The POV's of both were well preformed and you could actually relate to the characters largely in part due to the narrators.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Quite frankly, being the sucker that I am .... I liked how he had time for his "little" fans by signing anything they wanted on the plane.

Any additional comments?

This book is one of my favorites in recent purchasing. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to lose themselves into a good story ....
