About this listen
Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer....
When you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.
So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I’m faced with until the sun rises.
Of course, I didn’t expect him to show up.
Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can’t stand. He’s got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.
When he finds out what I’m doing, he hijacks my “yes” night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I’m desperate for more.
But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don’t stand a chance.
I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.
I used to think when you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.
If only I’d known that before I fell under Liam Benson’s spell.

Story
My boyfriend’s billionaire boss always gets what he wants. Menacingly handsome and unquestionably powerful, Theo Whitman need only snap his fingers to have a flock of supermodels fall at his feet. So when his steel gray eyes first meet mine, I expect him to pass right over me, to not give so much as a second thought to my presence. Instead, he sees me. His intense gaze immobilizes me. The way he speaks strips me bare. Every brush of his skin sears me like a violent flame. My boyfriend’s billionaire boss always gets what he wants. And this time, I think he wants me.

Story
Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

See, I've been told I'm the "good time girl", not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I've since embraced it - living the wild and free life and sticking to a three-date max. That's just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it's been working for me for years...until Makoa Kumaka. Sadly, he also has a three-date rule - and it's the exact opposite of mine.

What makes you happy? That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn't give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga - but I just stared. And then, I got in his car. It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn't going to miss it. We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room - and still, we were strangers. One day we'd be laughing, the next, we wouldn't speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.

I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try. He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.

Inside its walls are many things that belong to me - my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night.

Of course, a big part of creating a great audiobook lies with the choice of narrator, and I have to say the author chose brilliantly. Hannah Chiclana lays it all out there. I could not only hear every emotional up and down, I could feel them.
I would recommend making sure you're ready for a journey crammed with all the feels, and you're ready to shed a tear or two, and then to curl up and prepare to get lost in these characters and their story.
An emotional journey

Love Liam because he helps Harley to see herself as he saw her. Liam and Harley both needed each other and they helped each other Grow together and find what was missing in each other life.

The narrator, Hannah Chiclana, is one I've heard maybe once or twice before this audiobook. I'm a fan of Steiner's and she's used her several times now. Chiclana doesn't just read the book to listeners. I felt like she acted the part of them and I lived it. She'd pause during some of the most quotable and monumental moments and it'd really make the statement that much more impactfull. If you're an audiobook lover than you know a narrator can make or break an audiobook, Chiclana definitely made it. More than that though, you'll know a good narrator can add so much more to an audiobook than just a pleasant voice. Chiclana added a pulse to this story. It was beautifully read and she's a narrator that I'm excited to hear more from.
🌟 🌟 Amazing story and narration 🌟 🌟

Perhaps it is because this book touched me on a personal level. Florence is home to me (I am native of Tuscany). During HS, I often skipped school on Fridays with my friends, get on a train, and go check out the markets in Florence. Be home by 2 pm to an unsuspecting mother 😅😂
Also art. Art is a big part of my life. It is my job, it is my hobby and my passion. The paintings they talked about in the book, are some of my favorites in the whole wide world 💖
And finally… I can very much relate to the need to strive for perfection, while trying to let go and embrace imperfection…
So yeah. I felt this book on my skin. It was sort of bittersweet for me, in a nostalgic way.
I loved LOVED Harley and Liam. They were perfectly imperfect together 💞💞💞
The 🎧audiobook🎧 was absolute perfection. Hannah Chiclana is one of my favorite female narrators. I love her slightly raspy voice, and her emotional interpretations, as well as her ability to modulate her pitch for each of the characters. A 5⭐️ audio to go with an amazing, emotional summer adventure in Italy.

“It’s a reminder that the true beauty in life is that we experience both tremendous anguish and remarkable exuberance in tandem, and that neither could exist without the other. We would be numb if we only ever felt happy, and we would be equally as numb if we only experienced pain. It is the fact that they walk together hand in hand that makes life such a wondrous thing. Such a precious thing.”
Amazing, emotional summer romance in Italy ❤️

Liam has been through more grief and loss than any person should have to experience. This leaves him feeling lost and carefree. Liam walked away from his tragic past and never dealt with it so he is still damaged which makes him think he could never love someone like Harley.
Harley started off one night set to say yes to everything that came her way. That night she ran into Liam and from then on they were inseparable. Liam and Harley had such a sweet relationship. They had fun together and they cared about each other but they also pushed each other to be better. I think the only criticism I have about the book is that I felt it abruptly ended. I really loved this book!
I loved this narration. Kandi does a great job at finding these hidden gems of narrators that I haven’t heard of before. Hannah did an amazing job carrying the story herself. She really brought us back to the 1990s!
Stunning Performance

harley is studying art abroad in italy where her art teacher says her work is predictable—and that is not what she expected. but liam, the aloof and indifferent student from her class, is praised for his art. she can’t understand how he excels while barely trying and she despises him for it. so she decides to let go of her perfectionist ways for a night, and liam joins her for an unexpected journey for both of them.
their romance takes a bit of a back seat throughout, but this book will sweep you off your feet with the most beautiful story of self love, friendship, forgiveness and hope.
i can not recommend the audio enough. hannah chiclana makes you feel all the characters emotions, despite this being a single pov. she is phenomenal.
beautifully written, angsty, nostalgic romance
